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.

Stellie

We had to rush our little boy cat Stellie here in the evening after he suddenly developed symptoms that looked like he had a urine obstruction. We arrived at Vets Now and after I told the nurse on reception that he was known to have urine crystals previously she made sure he was seen first as a blockage can be life threatening.
When we went through to see the vet we were relieved that he wasn’t in urine retention, but he was in a state of stress and pain with a high heart rate and a heart murmur. The vet was lovely with Stellie, complimenting his very long whiskers and saying how lovely he was. She gave him an injection of anti-inflammatory and said to keep an eye on him overnight and take him to our usual vet’s in the morning to have them check the heart murmur and bladder symptoms out further. Luckily our vet the next day gave him the all clear and agreed the murmur was likely stress related because of his tummy pain.

Whilst the emergency out of hours fee is very expensive, the care he received was amazing. The nurse on reception was very helpful sorting the insurance claim for Stellie’s treatment.

Fantastic Emergency Vets

Was welcomed straight in with my pet and immediately seen to, the vet was very straightforward and reassuring, the vet office was calm and peaceful, and they automatically initiated and took care of my insurance claim with very little inconvenience to me.

Poor experience, no support, expensive

One of my kittens got sick and lost lots of weight in a couple of days, stopped eating, drinking and was really poorly. My vet was closed as it was Saturday and I decided to go to Vets Now. After waiting for nearly 3 hours I was seen by a vet who measured my kittens temperature, weighed him and check his heartbeat. The appointment lasted 15 mins majority of which the vet was typing notes on his laptop.
Didn’t give me any advice information on what this could be and when asked if it could be contagious (for other cats at home) said he’s not sure and could be.
Said the only thing they can do is keep him overnight which would come to £1400 for the night and if something goes wrong and he needs to stay longer it will be even more expensive.
Together with the kitten I brought the mum as she had sudden incident of diarrhoea. Vet said he’s not concerned about her.
Gave me 3 sachets of medication powder for them both and said all I can do for the little one is feed him using a syringe and hope for the best.
The 15 min appointment came to a shocking £480 bill.
Still no idea if it’s contagious for other kittens so having to keep them isolated.
Overall disappointing experience and no help / support.
Receptionist was lovely tho, apologised for the long wait and offered tea/coffee.

An excellent service

We were seen very quickly. The vet and nurses were excellent. The consultation fee is very expensive. Without insurance it would be very difficult for some people.

We were seen straight away as an emergency. The vet we saw Julien was amazing he was so kind to our Doberman Tegan who had swallowed some bandage. Once injected she was able to bring up the bandage and all was Ok thanks to him. Just be prepared though if using this emergency Vets that the bill will be high.
I cannot fault them at all, first class throughout.
