Pet Care Advice

Pet emergencies can happen at any time – including when your regular vet is closed.
That’s why our nationwide network of out-of-hours pet emergency clinics are open through the night, at weekends and on bank holidays, so we’re ready and waiting to provide expert pet emergency care when your regular vet is having some time off.
Our pet emergency clinics are the pet equivalent of A&E and our purpose is to give you and your pet the care and support you deserve, at the time you need it most, whether it’s four in the morning or in the middle of Sunday lunch.
Vets Now provides this trusted service to more than 1000 veterinary practices across the UK — from over 60 dedicated out-of-hours clinics and two 24/7 pet emergency hospitals. In total, we treat around 200,000 small animals every year — our highly-skilled team works hard throughout the night, weekends and Bank Holidays. So whether you’re in Aberdeen, Belfast or Portsmouth we’re there for you and your pet when you need us most.
We’ve also pioneered other ways to help pets, pet owners and the veterinary profession, such as our comprehensive referrals service and providing our staff with industry-leading training and development opportunities. We also support the pet blood transfusion charity, Pet Blood Bank UK. Meanwhile, our two hospitals — in Glasgow and Manchester — are home to some of the UK’s leading specialists in the field of emergency and critical care and provide care 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

I'm so grateful that we have this out of hours service available, as it's always just after our surgery closes for the day (or weekend), that the accidents happen.
We're lucky, we have good insurance, which will help to cover the cost of the initial consultation too.

Started with very quick and efficient information taking in the initial phone call, then calm, friendly and professional treatment after we’d arrived. Clear explanations of what was happening and the treatment provided. The bill came to nearly £500 but it takes money to have a service like that available 24hours and that’s why we have insurance…

Great service from the team and really looked after the "patient". Emergency cover was better than expected and very professional. Thank you!

Nice people who came and spoke to us and told us about their own pets and made us feel that our pet was in a knowledgeable and safe place with genuine animal lovers.

I was seen almost as soon as I arrived and the vet took details and carried out an investigation. Treatment followed (for ingestion of toxic raisins) and my puppy seems well so hopefully it was started in time.
The vet and receptionist were friendly and efficient.
The only downside was that, as an emergency appointment, the cost was very high and would have been a serious problem if I had not been insured.

Received urgent treatment for the family dog, the vet was knowledgeable, provided very helpful tests and treatment and communicated information very clearly. As ever with Vets Now the only complaint is the extortionate out of hours consultation fee.

Lovely staff who kept me fully updated about my cat.

Reply from Vets Now - Ashford
Wonderful vets, really reassuring, and thankfully our dog could be seen straight away.

Reply from Vets Now - Ashford
Efficient, understanding and so helpful right from the start of our unexpected appointment. The receptionist was absolutely wonderful as were all the staff.
The vet explained everything clearly giving us confidence in what the procedures were.
Would not hesitate to go to them again if the need arises.

Very prompt and caring consultation with Joe. He was very good and caring with my little, elderly Norwich terrier and took time to discuss options and chose the less stressful line of action at this initial stage due to Freddy's hearing loss and slight dementia.

Absolutely a waste of time. After paying £321 for a 15 min consultation I had no clue what was wrong with my dog. "It could be this it could be that. What do you want to do? Well I dont know that's why im here! Its disgusting they can charge that saying its out of hours when they are only open out of hours. Its the vets out of hours not theirs. Avoid using

Brilliant service, if very expensive. Joe, the vet was friendly, lovely and treated my cat with care.

Reply from Vets Now - Ashford
Absolutely amazing practice. They made my visit as pleasant as it could be, they were so helpful, polite and knowledgeable. Constantly kept me up to date which was really reassuring. I really could not thank them enough.

Reply from Vets Now - Ashford
Despite the sadness of the event – one of our cats had to be put down – it was dealt with in a compassionate manner. I had all the time in the world to deal with William's departure, and the surgeon, Yvonne, and her nurse did it in the most peaceful way – and took time to listen to me afterwards.
Absolutely brilliant. So much care - thank you.
