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.

The amount I had to pay

The amount I had to pay! And I had to wait to be seen other non paying people were seen before me. But especially the price it does not warrant what was done for my cat.

Hi Helen, 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.

Booked an out of hours appointment

Booked an out of hours appointment. Paid £700 for a 20 minute consultation. No blood test, not sure they even checked my Black Labrador’s temperature, sent us home stating everything is fine and that is normal. My dog died the following morning. Absolutely devastated.

The out of hours service was excellent

The vet was clear
The nurse was kind
The overall experience was positive

For me personally, it was a regrettable loss of almost £500 because I had thought my dog had eaten a painkiller. 💊
The next day I discovered he hadn’t.

The service was great but I feel ridiculous (my bad)
——- ADDED
I don’t neee a FINANCIAL breakdown because I can read my invoice
What might be worth considering
In a busy night time service with many calls - asking a customer who has serious anxiety issues and states them “Are you absolutely certain he ate the pill? Do you want to check in the room?”
By the time Mr Google and the call was made… the customer was in full on “let’s sort this” mode. Nothing done badly but maybe better MH awareness training for the next customer?

NOT there when you need them

Incredibly poor service on Monday 9th September. We had a late evening emergency in Swansea with our Cocker Spaniel who had eaten sugar free chewing gum (highly toxic to dogs). Called our vet...got diverted to Vets Now...oh sorry, due to staff shortages you'll need to go to Newport. Simply unacceptable, get a locum to cover! Managed to get seen by another vet in Swansea. Ditching our current vet immediately along with...Vets Now.

Lovey vet. Shocking price!

The vet we saw was lovely and helpful.
Lady on the desk was also lovely.
However, the price of out of hours vet is scandalous ! Double the normal vet fee.
I feel we’re being penalised over and over.
Shocking and sickening.

I was happy with the greeting from the staff and the vet was excellent
My only issue was at the end for payment. We were putting the bill through our insurance company but paid up front and would claim it back The way the receptionist said that I had to pay for admin fee to our insurers but I was led to believe that this was compulsory and your team would liaise with my insurer to save me. I then found out the day after there was no need for me to pay £28.00 as it was something I could have done myself. I only had to get the invoice pull off my insurance form get it signed by Pdsa and send it off. As it was I still had to send your team my insurance form anyone so I could have missed out the middleman and did all myself

I phoned as my elderly Rottweiler was dying

I phoned as my elderly Rottweiler was dying, I first spoke to the receptionist who advised me to get my dog to the surgery which was a 30 minute drive, I explained that she was a large elderly Rottweiler, she then said get the dog to the vets and started telling me the prices, she then got the vet to phone me, he asked what colour was her gums I explained that her gums and tongue was white, he said bring her in so they can give her oxygen, it felt like they were not listening and they were out for the money, I would have paid anything for a vet to come out as we were at a loss, luckily my wife is a nurse and recognised the symptoms of my dog dying, my dog passed away half an hour later after the phone call in her bed peacefully at home with me and my wife cuddling her, not in the back of my car trying to get to Swansea causing stress to my dog in her last few minutes just to give her oxygen, Now changing vets to one that does not use this company, we had her cremated at sleepy hollow who are very sympathetic and caring
