My partner and I came in with concerns about our rat. He was examined by Zack, who was extremely thorough and informative. It was eventually decided that due to our rats poor health and age, to euthanize. Zack was amazing, and was kind to us, allowing us time with our dear pet to say goodbye, and didn't rush us in our decision and goodbyes. I can't speak more highly of the support we received. Thank you!

I was very upset coming to the out of hours vet. I was really worried for my rabbit. I was kindly offered a warm drink and tissues. After sitting in The waiting room one of the vet nurses took the carry case with my rabbit inside without telling me what they were doing with her. This made me more anxious and I had to go to ask reception where she is and why I’ve not been allowed to go with her. Reception then informed me that they give animals time to calm down in a calm room before being seen by the vet. In future if they could warn owners where they are taking their pets prior to consultation it would be great. Then when we had the consultation with the vet he was amazing. He checked her throughly and was very understanding & knowledgable. It is expensive but I understand for the out of hours practise I can’t expect any less. I was satisfied with the care she received. Blossom was given meds for her illness however she sadly passed away a few days after at our local vet. I’m grateful for the extra few days I received from the vet. RIP Blossom. You were so loved and adored

The situation with my cat was quite distressing. Late Saturday evening, I was warmly welcomed into the practice and the vet was friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. Reassuring as well. I couldn't have asked for more.

I had to take my baby boy (my cat - Frankie) to see the out-of-hours team due to his catheter becoming blocked, meaning he was unable to pass any urine. He had been in and out of the vet everyday for 5 days prior to this visit due to kidney stones/urinary blockage and had been catheterised 3/4 times. Because of this, Frankie was quite traumatised by his experience and so I felt a little nervous with what the out-of-hours team would have to do to fix him. Amazingly they were able to flush his catheter and drain his bladder (a total of 170mls!) quickly and effectively. Frankie immediately felt better and the catheter remained patent the following day, just in time for his PU operation. The team were simply wonderful, they were compassionate and informative throughout. On top of this, they accepted payment to be handled directly via insurance.. we had already spent a fortune on Frank’s treatment and so this was such a weight lifted from my shoulders. Frankie has since had his operation and is slowly but surely becoming a happy, silly kitty once again 🥰 Thank you so much to Vets Now.

Very happy with the service, despite it not exactly being the best news for my cat! He was seen pretty much right away, and there's a calm, relatively pleasant atmosphere in there. The vet who saw Thor was kind and gentle, showed him great concern. ( If you see this he's eating well again now😁, and back to see his vets tomorrow). The receptionist was equally kind ( I didn't get the chance to tell her she has beautiful hair!!)
