Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a true 24-hour vet hospital in Malta?

Not as a single fixed location. Malta operates a rotating 24-hour emergency rota shared between participating clinics. Any vet clinic can give you the current on-call number, or call your hotel front desk who keeps the duty roster.

Do Maltese vets speak English?

Yes, English is one of Malta's two official languages and every vet on the island runs consultations in English. Maltese is also widely used but you will not need it.
