Poor advice. Wrong diagnosis. Inconsistent advice from vets. Really poor. I won't use again unless I really have no other choice.

Booked an urgent online consult for advice. Easy to book, great advice from the vet who showed compassion.

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.

Amazing Staff and a FANTASTIC Hospital!

I cannot express how amazing this Vet Hospital is! The staff are all lovely, friendly and really care when it comes to animals. Twice now they have saved my French Bulldog Versace, if it wasn’t for the fast acting staff I would have lost her :(. Thanks to the Vet Tom who has cared for her twice now, to the Vet Adele who cared for her when I took her in, also to the Nurse who ran out and grabbed her out of my arms and to all the other reception and nursing team! Thanks again x

£250 for an appointment?? WTH

£250 for an appointment!!! That’s all I can say! It’s ludicrous and a private company trying take as much money as they can!!! I called a free vet line straight after and all my little boy needs is antibiotics!

Hi there, 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 service

Excellent service to be able to choose a Vet, a convenient time and speak to someone so quickly on video in the comfort of your own home, very reasonable cost and the service we received was professional, responsive and literally saved our dog from being permanently paralysed. Ash the vet was so supportive and acted quick to get us the right support. Our dog was seen at OOH hospital for neurosurgery and will hopefully make a good recovery.

Excellent service

Excellent service.
We went on a bank holiday weekend as we were really worried about our cat's skin irritation and behaviour.
The whole process was helpful from the initial emergency phone call, to arriving at the centre.
The triage nurse, Francis, was amazing. She was so warm and reassuring. She advised us on the issues we experienced and the next steps to take. She really put our minds at rest.

The best around the North

It was a really worrying time when our dog was poorly during the early hours of the morning. From the first phone call to Vets Now the staff were so helpful & re-assuring. The original lady who greeted us at the door (blue and dark hair) and got down to say hi to fizz made me feel more at ease straight away. The young vet (dark hair & glasses) was really gentle with fizz and explained everything so well. In a worrying time it made it a little easier with all the staff being so nice! Thank you for helping us!!

JUSTICE FOR BELLA

Like many, ooo emergencies is a nightmare we don't want to live through. However, on this occasion the worst happened to my cousin and her healthy 3 year old pregnant French Bulldog, Bella along with 3 pups who sadly died before being delivered and not forgetting one puppy who my cousin was told wasn't thriving and was giving a needle without the consent of my cousin.

After multiple to and from the practice, the first was being sent home with a puppy out of sack, stuck in the birth canal, told to return after 30 minutes if it didn't pass. Meanwhile, the vet staff were aware of the distance to and from my house, so there was no time for Bella to settle to even pass the pups. They are the medical experts but sent home a French Bulldog who evidently was having issues with birthing.

Bella paid the ultimate price and died a few hours after waking up from her c-section, not before nursing her remaining 3 puppies out of 7 for the first and last time.

OH and if you're thinking about extortionate prices look no further. Vet staff said she would need "paracetamol" come to find out in the aftermath that it was CALPOL and recommended 5 ml dosage. That's right, the exact same brand and dosage you would give to a 2 year old child, cost? £25 approx.

We welcome the cap and transparency of ALL vets displaying their prices.

We attended the Manchester branch, but it appears to be a chain issue so avoid this chain at all costs.

When you read this Vets Now Manchester, we've already opened an investigation.

Great team

Receptionists were very sympathetic, helpful and quick to get things processed. The reception area was clean, tidy and light. The triage team were knowledgeable and helpful. The follow up person Amy was amazing nothing was too much trouble and she went out of her way to assist us with understanding what to do and how to treat our pet with her condition. Arranging appointments and procedures between vets out of hours team and specialists.
