About Vets Now

Vets Now provide the equivalent of an A&E or NHS Direct service for your pet. They are highly experienced in dealing with pets in need of emergency attention.

The vets and nurses at Vets Now are always fresh and ready to care for your pet (they sleep during the day). FREE advice is available.
We know your pet can become ill or suffer accidents at any time. To make sure you have access to high quality care at night, weekends and bank holidays, we have chosen to partner with Vets Now, the leading provider of Out of Hours care. 

The team at Vets Now are always there when we are closed, so you can rest assured that you and your pet will have a vet and nurse on hand, whether it's four in the morning or half-way through Christmas. Their fully qualified staff will provide advice over the phone and advise whether you need to take your pet into their clinic for immediate treatment. Please don’t hesitate to call them if you are at all concerned.

By using Vets Now to cover our Out of Hours Emergencies it enables our vets and nurse to get a good night’s rest at nights and weekends so we can continue providing the high quality care during the day that we pride ourselves on.

Vets Now take over from us when we close in the evenings and at the weekends from Saturday lunchtime onward. It is always best to call us first as we will either be there to answer your call, or will have an answer machine message with Vets Now’s details for you. Vets Now can give you advice over the phone and arrange immediate appointments to see them if it is required.

Please be aware that because of the nature of Out of Hours emergencies, a night-time or weekend appointment will be more expensive than seeing a vet during usual hours. Vets Now will discuss this with you at the time of appointment and before commencing any treatment. Please consider pet insurance to give you peace of mind that your pet will be able to receive the best possible care 24 hours a day.
