Sorrento has several daytime general veterinary practices across the centro storico and the inland villages of the Sorrentine Peninsula (Sant'Agnello, Piano di Sorrento, Meta), and the Ospedale Veterinario CMV in Naples (50 km north via the A3 motorway) provides 24/7 referral cover for the Campania region. For local after-hours emergencies, Sorrento and Penisola Sorrentina clinics operate a rotating on-call line; phone any participating clinic to be redirected to the duty vet of the week. Most clinics are bilingual EN/IT thanks to the heavy international tourism flow.

Ospedale Veterinario CMV Naples

Naples metropolitan area (50 km north of Sorrento) · Via Comunale Margherita 280, 80145 Napoli

The reference 24/7 specialty veterinary hospital for the Campania region, with cardiology, oncology, neurology, intensive care and complex surgery; 1h15 from Sorrento via the A3 Napoli-Salerno motorway, the regional escalation centre Sorrento clinics refer to for any after-hours emergency the local on-call line cannot handle.

🐾 Walk-in emergencies accepted; specialty referrals by appointment🕐 24/7 emergency and specialty📞 +39 081 593 0640🌍 EN spoken🌍 Italian, English

💡 Drive yourself on the A3 rather than wait for a pet-taxi at night; the 1h15 transfer to Naples is faster than any peninsula on-call ETA after midnight, and the A3 stays open year-round (the SS163 Amalfi Coast road is too narrow and slow for an emergency).

Frequently Asked Questions

The Ospedale Veterinario CMV in Naples (+39 081 593 0640, 1h15 via the A3 motorway) is the closest true 24/7 referral hospital; local after-hours is handled via the Penisola Sorrentina rotating on-call line at the Clinica Veterinaria Sorrento.

Yes at the Clinica Veterinaria Sorrento and the Ambulatorio Veterinario Sant'Agnello; staff are fluent thanks to the heavy international tourism flow off the Circumvesuviana, the Capri/Ischia ferries and the Amalfi Coast bus.

Is the SS163 Amalfi Coast road OK for a vet emergency?

No. The SS163 is single-lane in places with hairpin bends and slow truck traffic; in an after-hours emergency, take the A3 Napoli-Salerno motorway to the Ospedale Veterinario CMV Naples (1h15), not the SS163 coastal route.
