Emergency Out-of Hours Care - onsite

Out-of-hours emergency vets provide urgent care for your pets when your usual practice is closed, such as during evenings, nights, weekends, and bank holidays. They are there for you when your pet needs it most, ensuring your pet is seen and treated whenever an emergency arises.

You should only contact an out-of-hours emergency vet if your pet is experiencing urgent or serious symptoms outside of your usual practice’s opening hours. Symptoms that need urgent veterinary attention include difficulty breathing, severe pain, collapse, seizures, or uncontrolled bleeding. If you’re ever unsure, it’s always best to seek advice from our expert veterinary professionals.

During an out-of-hours emergency appointment, your pet will be assessed as a priority by a dedicated veterinary team. They will carry out a rapid initial examination and provide any immediate treatment that might be needed. Next steps will be discussed with you to ensure your pet receives the best possible care that they deserve.

Typically, your pet’s care will be continued by your usual practice once it reopens. This helps ensure continuity of care and allows your regular veterinary team to support your pet’s recovery.
