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.

Emergency experts

The staff were very friendly and helpful. During a stressful time when my dog became very ill at night over the Christmas period, I was seen very quickly and everything was made easy. Including the insurance claim. Great to know that expert help is at hand 24 hours

The very high price made it a real risk of not bringing our pet in and waiting until Monday! I can see that others may put pets lives at risk by waiting for normal vet hours because of the very high consultation fee. However you were when we needed you and the care was great.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your feedback on the cost of our service. As you may be aware, it’s a lot more expensive to run an after-hours emergency vet service. The greater running costs we incur are reflected in our prices.

Avoid at all costs

This company are all about money.
I am in the middle of litigation case against them but it’s only fair that I warn you as to their conduct
Anyone who will have experienced their out of hours will understand
My little dog passed away in January of this year and the bill of £1500 ish was paid in full including his cremation.
Due to the stress of it all I ended up in hospital and required an emergency operation
This was about a fortnight after and whilst waiting in the pre op ward I received a call from vets Now asking me to settle up so that my little dog could be cremated
So basically they kept him hanging around even though I paid the bill in full which they accept
They apologised and offered a measly £100 compensation which I refused on principle
As a result I took the case to my solicitor who is now dealing with it
Totally unprofessional and more concern about how you’re going to pay than the animals welfare
During my little dogs life I experienced a few too many out of hours experiences with them which is why I changed vets with my new puppy to avoid them completely

Our dog

Our dog became very unwell quickly which was very stressful. Staff were pleasant and very professional, explaining the situation well and discussing the plan of action needed. They gave us regular updates. Can’t recommend them enough

Excellent and very understanding

Emergency vet in Langstone

Needed to take our dog to the out of hours vet as he was bleeding from a wound on his leg. He was stressed and anxious but the nurses and vet were very calm and capable with him.
Patched him up effectively & provided meds needs to get him through the night.
Great service

Unexperienced Vets

My cat was admitted to this out-of-hours vets very poorly, not eating, drinking, and extremely lifeless. He spent two days there on IV fluids, seen by several different vets. Despite a known history of heart disease, I was repeatedly told he was “fine” and had no heart issues. One vet even noted his heart was slightly enlarged and beating fast but reassured me it was nothing to worry about.
The first night alone cost an extortionate £1,700 for a consultation, a quick heart ultrasound, and blood tests. After two days of treatment, he still wasn’t eating or drinking, but the vets decided to discharge him. Within an hour of being home, he suffered a catastrophic heart attack and died in my arms.
I don’t believe he could have been saved, but with an accurate diagnosis and honest communication, he could have had a peaceful, dignified passing — instead of a traumatic and devastating end. I feel utterly let down by the standard of care, the lack of continuity between vets, and the failure to recognise the seriousness of his condition.
Absolutely heartbreaking and unacceptable experience.

My cat was admitted to the out of hours emergency very poorly, he hadn't eaten or drunk for days and very lifeless. The vet did ultrasounds and bloods and said physically all was ok other than slightly enlarged heart and dehydrated. They kept him in on a drip and said that so far the cost was £1700. After 2 days he was still lethargic and refusing to eat or drink but they discharged him anyway stating there was nothing wrong with his heart at all. Within 1 hour of him being home he suffered a massive heart attack and sadly passed away. Looking at all the signs I genuinely believe his little heart was severely struggling and they failed to diagnose this. Either way I don't think he could of been saved but had he been diagnosed correctly he could of had a much more peaceful passing, Instead of suffering for 2 days hooked up to a drip (no painkillers or any other treatment) and to suffer a catastrophic and painful heart attack. Absolutely awful......
