About Vets Now

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.

Outstanding!

I cannot thank Vets Now enough for the incredible care they provided. They truly went above and beyond for us, and I’m so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and genuine kindness they showed our Milo.
From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel reassured and supported. They took the time to explain everything clearly, treated my pet with such gentleness, and showed real empathy during a very stressful situation, they cared as if it were their own animal.
The communication was excellent, the staff were exceptional, and the level of dedication they showed was outstanding. It's rare to find a practice that combines expertise with such heartfelt care, and I’m so thankful we found them.
Thank you for everything you did — it meant more than you know.

An emergency visit

An emergency visit due to a dislocated tail on our 11 year old GSP. Friendly reception on arrival and an informative and sympathetic consultation with the vet, where treatment options were discussed.
Fortunately, the injury wasn’t severe enough for surgery or even x-ray, so a course of Metacam and keeping our girl as rested well as possible was the prescribed treatment.
Thank you.

Had a scan the vet said but when I took him to my normal vet they scanned him again and found that he had a brain tumor so vets now did not look after my dog as all the medication that was prescribed was no good and got given the wrong diagnosis and sadly had to put him to sleep so he was in unnecessary pain an extra 2 days because of this

Very quick response. Very pleasant vet.
Unfortunately Lola is still unwell and being treated by my own vet.
Fingers crossed for this little puppy.

What you need in an emergency

beautiful bulldog Holly suddenly showed signs of illness and very quickly became very stressed. It was early Sunday evening, so we phoned Vets now. (Alastair) the call handler was very efficient and directed us to the nearest emergency vets in Southampton, (backed up by txt) We were greeted by two very caring receptionists. The Vet (Rebecca) was superb. So calm, we were in bits, and her caring manner helped us cope. Even though Holly was unable to pull through we cannot fault the caring service we recieved. Thank you

A godsend!

A godsend! After our year old cat choked and aspirated on Friday night, we rang up and rushed her into the Southampton Beech House surgery, who were fantastic.

A friendly and helpful RVN on reception, and the vet was wonderful, giving our little madam a full check over and some ABx in case pneumonia tried to rear its ugly head. Thankfully she's absolutely fine and completely back to normal 🥰

Not the cheapest night out, but worth every penny when it comes to our pets' health. Please ensure you have insurance for your pet!

Huge thanks again to everyone we saw, please know you're very much appreciated!

We were on a camping holiday and very worried about our dogs symptoms. I was referred to Vets Now by a local vet and got an immediate appointment. We arrived, had a short wait and were see by a vet named Adrianna who was very supportive, knowledgeably and reassuring. She rang a national toxicology department and gave us their immediate feedback. We could not have asked for more. We left with medication and advice on how to manage our dog that has been invaluable. The service was very good.

Poor communication by nurses!

The vets were very helpful & caring.
When we went to collect our beautiful dog on Monday morning we were given a hopeful message by a nurse - did she not read the notes?!

We went straight to our usual vet who told us the news was very bad & our lovely boy passed away in the afternoon.

Not happy at all. Instruction on the phone were not very clear at all. Raised with costumer service but no positive response. Extremely expensive.
Reply: Raised with your team but obviously they are not going to blame themselves for the problem caused. Extremely disappointed.

They saw my dog quickly and were very polite. As you would expect its extortionate for out of hours treatment consultation fees, theres no getting around that. I would say I am a little dissapointed in the treatment plan for my dog. Dog was brought in with bleeding tail, was bandaged and sent on its way. Bandage came off and unable to stem the bleeding with it spurting out and back to vets the next day. My vet said he saw exposed bone and it wouldnt shut without a small amputation and stitches. Yet this was not explained and I was advised it would heel. Advice seems a little inaccurate. But as I said they were polite and saw my dog quickly.
