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.

Scruff was seen promptly

Scruff was seen promptly, although it was Christmas Day. Katie, the vet dealt with him in a skilled and sympathetic way and clearly explained the options for his treatment. He was successfully treated overnight and seems his old self again.

The male vet was careful and informative and related well to my dog.
Negative - the enormous bill for one consultation and keeping my dog in overnight.

Good care at eye watering prices

I can't fault the vets themselves - they were amazing. However since Vets Now have taken over the out of hours service at this hospital (which I have been registered at for years) the cost of an out of hours consultation has skyrocketed. Minimum now £325 before anything else added in, which is 5-6 times the day consultation rate.

Cannot fault the medical care our cat received…BUT…

Cannot fault the medical care our cat received when he was admitted as an emergency case. The vet was very kind and compassionate.

HOWEVER… We paid a deposit of £500 (no insurance) for his treatment. Our cat needed to stay overnight at the vets to be monitored. At 10pm the phone rang and we absolutely panicked when we saw it was Vets Now calling. We assumed there must be a problem because they were calling so late. But no, they were calling to demand more money! At 10pm!!! We were forced to pay another £500 deposit over the phone. (Our cat was stable, and just being monitored, so there wasn’t any new treatment required at this point).

We were absolutely happy to pay for any treatment our boy needed (a total of £2400 for a small op and overnight stay + meds) but why on earth could they not have called the following morning, rather than panic us late at night?

It has left us with the feeling that Vets Now AS A COMPANY(not the medical staff themselves ) care far more about money than the well-being of your pet.
Unfortunately, Vets Now have a monopoly for out-of-hours care in my local area, so if your pet needs treatment there is nowhere else to take them.

All that aside, we are so grateful that our cat is still with us and received excellent treatment.

Vets Now - if you are going to reply to this review, PLEASE do not leave the generic answer that you have given everyone else!
