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.

Great post surgery advice

Two days after my dog had surgery I was concerned about her pain levels. It was 9pm in the evening and I had a video cal on with David. We went through some checks together in case I needed to take her to be seen and he took plenty of time to reassure me. They messaged my vets which prompted them to call me this morning to check how she was. A great service.

The experience was very good

The experience was very good, prompt treatment and sound advice. My only issue is the cost. I find a basic charge of £320 before any drugs are prescribed to be extortionate. I fully understand that it is an out of hours service, but as a person only a state pension, it is crippling.

From phone call to visit wasn’t pleasant. I was asked if I was phoning for a dog or a cat and I advised it was a bull dog at the beginning of the call. After going to reception of whom was rude we had to wait 30 minutes to be seen we do not class this as Emergency!

Not impressed

We were charged £320 just for the consultation plus £167 for blood tests. This is scandalous especially as they do not even offer a payment plan for those who cannot pay in full. Despite these extortionate charges they did not find out what was wrong with my dog and we had to take her back to our normal vet the next day, which was bank holiday Monday. Animal suffering should be given priority over greed.

Late night emergency trip with our little dog.
We were there 3 hours. Although the vet came out and told us what was happening at frequent intervals doesn’t get away from the fact at how expensive it is.
Nearly £3000. Scan in heart. Bloods. Oxygen. Then injection of vetmedin for heart then sent us home.
We were not even allowed to use the toilet even though we were the only people there. They could see I was upset as crying….not even an offer of a drink of water !

Nice staff, scandelous pricing

Nothing against the staff who were very pleasant, more the fact they know they have you over a barrel so charge whatever they want knowing if you love your pet you HAVE to pay it (no where else is open out of hours after all). It's emotional blackmail and felt like as soon as they knew my dog was insured they could pluck up some ridiculous £ figure out the air. I was told it'd be £120 then was charged over £400 to wipe my dogs paw with a tissue, clip his nails and prescribe 3 pain killer pills.

I am still waiting weeks later for them to pay me back after my insurance paid the bill. During this time they bombarded me with emails and texts saying I owed them money still which just added massively to the stress of the situation. Very fast to take your money, incredibly slow and bad at communicating your refund. It feels like they've forgotten why they became vets in the first place.

Also I can never get through on phone to speak to anyone, even on the night of the issue I just ended up driving there because no one would answer the phone despite the place being empty of other patients on arrival. That said they have responded to my emails fairly quickly.

Again nothing against the Worcester branch, just the company's pricing in general needs to be looked at by a watchdog because it can't be OK to rip off good-hearted people in desperate moments like this. I full understand a premium should be paid for out-of-hours but this goes way above and beyond what I would consider to be fair (and certainly not justified).

Hi, 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.

Excellent out of hours care

My rabbit became sick with stasis out of hours and hadn't responded to home remedies. I was anxious about going to out of hours vet without insurance but the vet was excellent and she saved my rabbits life so was worth it. The team were kind and helpful.

I was so appreciative of the quick response, thorough and understanding approach from the vet on the phone and then when I came in. He gave advice initially to potentially avoid coming in. Despite being 3:30am the vet and nurse were friendly and happy to help and take the time with me and my dog. Can't thank them enough for their help.

From receptionist to the vet....the whole ordeal was made as pleasant as possible. Vet explained everything thoroughly. All staff were compassionate and understanding. I understood all procedures that were to be carried out and the Break down of costs explained.
Very worrying time but all staff were accomadating and even went out of their way to speak Spanish to my unwell Spanish dog :)
