Vet clinics in Ghaziabad

The Uttar Pradesh Animal Husbandry Department runs 18 veterinary hospitals in Ghaziabad district, plus 19 Pashu Seva Kendras that give basic veterinary care. Treatment is given for a small government-fixed fee. The district page describes care for cattle, buffalo, goats, sheep, horses and poultry, so call ahead to check that your nearest hospital sees dogs and cats.

The district's Chief Veterinary Officer sits at Vikas Bhawan, Ghaziabad (0120-2823215). This office can tell you which government hospital is closest to you.

Pet dogs in the Nagar Nigam area need a licence. It costs Rs 1,000 a year, runs from 1 April to 31 March, and is renewed in April with proof of vaccination from a registered vet. A new pet must be reported to the Nagar Nigam within 15 days.

Call the clinic before you set off, so the vet is ready and you know they are open. We could not find a government vet hospital in Ghaziabad that is open 24 hours.

The Uttar Pradesh Animal Husbandry Department's helpline is 1962. For problems with stray dogs or other civic issues, the Nagar Nigam's helplines are 1533 and 1800-1803-012.

The nearest 24-hour government vet hospital is in Delhi: the Delhi government's veterinary hospital at Tis Hazari, on Zorawar Singh Marg near Pul Mithai, is open 24 hours on all days. Its 24-hour animal care helpline is 011-23967555 or 011-20833238.

On the way, keep your pet still and warm, carry it on a flat surface if it may have a back or leg injury, and do not give human painkillers: several common ones are poisonous to dogs and cats.

Summer: walk dogs early in the morning and after sunset, test the pavement with the back of your hand, and keep water out at all times. Short-nosed breeds such as pugs and bulldogs overheat fastest; heavy panting, drooling or wobbling needs a vet straight away.

Monsoon: ticks multiply in the damp, and tick fever is common. Check your dog's ears, neck and paws after walks, keep tick prevention up to date, dry paws and skin folds after rain, and avoid standing water, which can carry leptospirosis.

Diwali and winter: firecracker noise frightens many pets, so keep them indoors in a quiet room with the windows shut and make sure they wear an ID tag. On days of poor air quality, keep walks short.
