VetTrust Animal Rescue Service
Not only people have accidents, medical emergencies or get injured - it happens to pets too. If the dog is hit by a car or the cat is trapped in the window, our animal rescue service can be notified from now on.

Operational area of the animal rescue service
The operational area is shown in the map. It was determined by calculations and test drives, so that the distances from our operation center (animal hospital Basel) are realistic and also reasonable. Only in this way can we guarantee optimal care.

Basic deployment fee plus evening surcharge: 40.- + 10.- = 50.- CHF.
For the medical treatment in the animal rescue vehicle (stabilisation / infusion and oxygen administration), only the cost price is charged (reduction 30%, i.e. CHF 48.30 instead of CHF 69 and omission of the emergency veterinary flat rate of CHF 80): CHF 48.30 (instead of CHF 149).

Thus, the total cost for the entire rescue is CHF 98.30.
Important: As soon as the rescued pet has been transferred to a practice/clinic by order of the pet owner for further treatment/diagnosis, the assignment of the animal rescue service ends. The accepting veterinary facility is considered the new order recipient.
Please note that our reduced rates only apply to emergency care and emergency transport. Our animal rescue service cannot provide taxi services as it must be available for emergencies.

The animal rescue service is only used for emergency care and transport. It is NOT responsible for finding wild animals, healthy foundlings or even normal animal taxi services. There are various other services for this.
It is an ambulance from humans that has been converted for veterinary medicine. It is equipped in a highly modern and mission-oriented way. In the pet ambulance, patients can be stabilised, given initial treatment and transported.
Solution for animals in emergency situations
Our veterinary professionals travel to the scene of the emergency by the fastest route possible, administer first aid and stabilize the patient. Subsequently, the pet is taken to the nearest clinic so that medical care can be taken over there without any gaps.
Telebasel Contribution
Cooperation of the Anton Foundation with the Baseln Veterinary Clinic
Gigi Oeri has a big heart for animals. She has founded another foundation called "Anton" and, among other things, is entering into a cooperation with VetTrust Tierklinik Basel to implement an animal rescue service. Together with Basel veterinarian Gabrielle Brunner, Gigi Oeri thought about how an improvement for the welfare of animals could be achieved. There was a lack of a rescue service for small animals. The animal rescue service that has now been set up is unique in the whole of Switzerland. This initiative for small animals in the Basel region is only possible thanks to the generous donation of the Anton Foundation.
