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.

My bull terrier needed urgent help

My bull terrier needed urgent help. Staff were waiting at the door for him as we arrived and took him straight to the examination room. Within minutes we were being told what was happening and what treatment was required.
Within half an hour a plan had been made and we were in a private room discussing the way forward
We had to leave our dog in overnight but we were kept informed of his progress by telephone
We were able to pick him up the next day with medication and instructions of care over the next few days
I was so grateful of this service as my dog became unwell very quickly and unexpectedly
The staff and service was brilliant
I would not hesitate to go back here

I have never felt so let down and alone. My little man was hit by a car and was in the worst pain possible, I took him to these vets for help I was desperate, but all they wanted was money! As soon as I said I was on low income and on UC, all compassion left them. I was judged and ignored by more than one member of the team, they had no empathy, all they did was pump my boy full of drugs until my vet opened. I was chastised for not being there at 7am even though I spoke to the vet and said I have his mum and dad at home and they will jump all over him, she said come at 8:30. They knew I am disabled and heartbroken and just wanted my boy fixed. This has to be the worse experience of due care and attention ever, profit before people, you should be ashamed of yourselves, you shattered me, I phoned to see how my boy was and you would not tell me, all I got from you was there is a bill here, I am going to take this further and I am going to be in touch with the ethics committee, shame on you! Jade this had no reflection on you at all, you was the only person there to show any compassion towards me

Outstanding care

Vets Now @ Lime Trees Vets are the out of hours “A&E” provision for our regular vets.
We were really impressed with the entire service we received when we had to rush our Old English Sheepdog there with bloat which had resulted in a life-threatening twisted stomach.
Everyone we had contact with was superb - helpful, informative and compassionate. Molly underwent emergency surgery within an hour of our arrival and we were then kept fully informed of her condition at every stage and every shift change.
Molly has now made a full recovery and when we went for a review, our own vet commented on how neatly the wound had been stitched.
Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Lime Trees Vets highly enough.

Hi Martyn, I know it can be frustrating having to pay for an unplanned trip to the vets. Much like it is for other out-of-hours services in other industries, It's more expensive to run an out-of-hours pet emergency service than a general daytime practice. We've broken down where our costs go here if you'd like to find out more: https://www.vets-now.com/2018/01/emergency-vet-costs-prices-fees/. If you’d like to query your bill or speak to us about anything we’re here for you on enquiriesteam@vets-now.com indicating which clinic you attended, your pets name and the first line of your home address highlighting your concerns.
