Very caring and compassionate staff. I'd have happily given 5 stars, however the fees are extortionate. Having to go there in an emergency is terrifying enough and then you're hit by a massive bill.

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.

Oustanding! Our regular vets have been charging us for 2 years on numerous prescriptions with changing diagnoses, within 20 minutes your vet had diagnosed, and offered a follow up. Unexpected Expense, but well worth it to fix our Maine Coon Cat's ear polyp. Thanks to everyone involved. We have now changed our regular vet.

Had to rush my girl in, 1000 paid they tell me they can probably get her better if I'm willing to spend a extra 5000 I refused so they say well put her to sleep but make sure you pick her up before 8am so had to trying and find somewhere to take her, the PDSA was amazing and told me they where out of order making me bring her away so poorly unless I could pay extra 600 to keep her there vets now are just a cash register dont give to hoots about your pet just the money and if you haven't got it then there answer is just put them down

We had very good, attentive care, even if we did have to wait a few hours to receive it. Overall an excellent service. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the veterinary care was excellent.

Practicing vet was knowledgeable, sympathetic and professional in all respects, and did what was necessary.

Staff that treat the animals are good. Trying to get them to respond to my insurance company in order to get the claim settled however is not.
I also didn’t receive the email receipt.

Four weeks after our pet was put to sleep - we have not received her ashes yet and is rather unsettling

The financial communication is deeply concerning. When I called before bringing him in I raised cost concerns and was told help would be possible — that is why I brought him in. This commitment was never honoured. The out of hours premium was six times higher than a regular daytime clinic for a more limited examination, making meaningful treatment nearly inaccessible despite genuine need.
Despite actively engaging with Vets Now since April — calling multiple times and being repeatedly passed between the clinic and head office with no resolution — my bill was passed to a debt collection agency. As a result I have been charged an additional £50 debt collection fee which I should not be liable for, as the failure to resolve this dispute was entirely on Vets Now's side, not mine.
I was not ignoring this bill. I was trying to resolve it fairly. Instead I received a debt collector's letter dated 8th June that only arrived through my door on 19th June — 11 days late.
I hope Vets Now will take responsibility for the £50 debt collection fee and the broken commitment regarding financial assistance.

From the first phone call to the happy collection of my poorly pet, Vets Now Southampton were absolutely amazing. The whole team were calm, reassuring and efficient, taking the stress out of a very scary situation.
We can't thank you all enough for being such a fabulous team and being there when we really needed you.
Thank you all so very much.

The team were absolutely fantastic, our Teddy came in critically ill on Sunday night and they did everything they could and acted so quickly which made all the difference to him. They explained everything clearly to us every step of the way and we left given all the advice we needed to care for him. He’s now making a wonderful recovery thank you for doing your best for our little lad 🩷
