Greyhound Welfare & VetChat







In its ongoing pursuit of world’s best animal welfare practices, Greyhound Racing NSW (GRNSW) is excited to announce an innovative new partnership with veterinary telehealth organisation VetChat.

The collaboration will provide NSW greyhound racing participants with 24 hour, seven day a week access to veterinary advice through VetChat.

Founded by an Australian Veterinarian in 2017, VetChat was created to ensure pet carers could access experienced Veterinarians more easily - regardless of location, situation, or time of day.

The telehealth platform connects carers directly with Australian-registered Vets within minutes, 24/7. Through Vet tele-triage, carers can describe or show their pet's issue and get clear guidance on next steps - whether that's managing at home until their regular Vet opens, or seeking immediate local care. Fast access is more than a convenience - it is an entry point to early intervention and prevention, for better animal welfare outcomes.

From July 1, NSW greyhound participants can contact VetChat through a dedicated number, any day, any hour, for trusted advice on next steps.

GRNSW Participants can contact VetChat on (02) 5944 5291.
