How to contact
The college’s general phone number is +91 22 2084 0278. [S1] The college website doesn’t publish OPD timings, emergency hours or charges for either clinic, so call before you go. [S2] [S3]
Before you go
- Call ahead to confirm OPD timings and whether your pet’s problem needs a specific day or department.
- Carry your pet’s vaccination record, earlier prescriptions and test reports.
- Use a leash or a carrier; teaching hospitals are busy and treat many kinds of animals.
- For a night-time emergency, keep a private 24-hour clinic’s number saved as a backup.
The Pawsitive Hoomans Take
Parel’s clinical complex has ICU, imaging and in-patient care on one campus, which matters when your pet needs more than a consultation. Because timings and charges aren’t online, one phone call before you leave home can save you a wasted trip across the city.
🐾 Walk in with your pet’s full history: a free Pet Passport keeps vaccinations, reports and prescriptions on your phone, and the Vaccination Tracker shows what’s due.
