Samford Emergency Vets (SEV) is an independent, privately owned emergency and critical care facility for small animals, founded by Dr Leigh Hanlon (BSc, BVSc, MANZCVS). Dr Leigh has dedicated herself to the veterinary community, locally in Samford Valley, for the last 36 years. 

“It’s been an absolute privilege to serve my community all these years and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have this long-term vision and dream come to fruition in the form of SEV. I absolutely love my career and my great hope is that SEV can proudly take the baton and continue to serve our community and beyond, well into the future! Thank you to my wonderful comminity. I love you!”

At Samford Emergency Vets 24/7, our mission is to provide immediate, compassionate, and advanced veterinary care when pets and their families need it most. We are dedicated to supporting our community with 24/7 emergency services as well as standard and more general patient requirements during the weekdays, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of treatment and every owner feels supported through difficult moments.

We are unique in our area for providing 24/7 Emergency care including weekends and public holidays, and more recently, providing more general appointments during the weekdays. We look after referred emergency patients from clinics in the area for overnight care and are able to be transferred back to their regular vet during the day.

SEV is located on a leafy 1.5-acre site at 1 Serendipity Drive, Samford Valley, about 30 minutes north-west of Brisbane CBD.
