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.

Over charged…

We barely saw the vet and she didn’t seem to care. One injection to make the dog sick then nearly an hour with no help or support even when we went looking for help.
Some charcoal to give him which they seemed to find funny how messy it would be. Then an admin fee of £35 for handling the £552.00 claim. No idea how you justify any of these costs.

Hi Philippa, thanks for your feedback on the cost of your pet’s care at Vets Now Milton Keynes. We appreciate that taking an unplanned trip to an emergency care provider can be frustrating. It’s much more expensive to run an emergency clinic than a regular daytime veterinary practice and our prices do reflect this.

RIP off

The vets are great , the costs are ridiculous, I genuinely don’t know how they are justified. They either rely on people being insured or not having a choice to treat a pet they love and care for
There needs to be some sort of mechanism to review this mad bills

A whole lotta money for no answers

Lovely staff, but didn’t get the answers we were looking for out of hours so a bill of £400 for anti sickness medicine, only for our dog to end up in emergency operations the next day to remove a foreign object

Great experience at emergency vets

Zoe who looked after us is one of the best vets I have ever seen. Great warmth combined with knowledge and advice. Instantly felt better having her taking care of my cat.

Words fail me.

Words fail me. Everyone of your employees who, even in the smallest way, helped my lad Denver recently at Walnut Tree in Milton Keynes are absolutely amazing! They all exceeded my wildest wishes and hopes with the treatment they gave him.
I cannot express how grateful and humbled I am.
If you need an example of just how impressive and dedicated they were just take a look at the unasked for email that Alice (don't know her surname I'm ashamed to say) sent me at 1.37hrs this morning. Remember my lad had not eaten in 4 days.
Please pass this onto all staff involved.

Fantastic vets

Staff were very informative, polite and looked after my dog with great respect. All treatment information was given so we understood. Vet also came and checked on my pet to make sure he was all good and responding well to treatment.

Out of hours vet

We travelled to this Vet surgery on 26/07/25 after our Zak had hurt himself jumping. We were told that the consultation fee would be £320. Arrived at the surgery and waited. After being called in and Zak was checked over the vet gave Zak an injection and took his temperature and Zak became very distressed and was yelping very loudly. We were not happy with the veterinary Nurses attitude towards Zak. She said he was acting like a baby. No X-ray was done, anti inflammatory meds and pain relief was prescribed for Zak. The total cost of the visit with meds was £470. This cost is not only excessive, but for us it was distressing and the Nurse didn't help with her attitude.

Not great for guinea pigs

All of the staff I had contact with were polite, kind and understanding. The service is easily available (if you have the funds to do so).

However, the care for my guinea pig was very limited. There was very little examination by the vet and he was very dismissive of a positive outcome stating that guinea pigs are 'weak'!

I attended the local specialist vet the next day and got a completely different experience. Following a thorough examination they offered a stronger version of the anti inflammatory medication and a completely different antibiotic. As well as some support and guidance on ongoing care I could offer her to achieve a positive outcome.

Thanks to the care from the specialist vet the guinea pig is back with her family and doing really well. I dread to think about what the outcome would've been if I had taken the advice of the emergency vet only.

If an emergency vets service cannot sufficiently treat a particular species of pet then they should be up front about that before taking your money! I feel that I was ripped off in this instance as I seemed to know more about guinea pigs and their care than the vet did.

Thorough and professional.

Although expensive (the practice were clear about the costs from the outset) the vet was thorough and gave a full explanation as to each stage of the investigation. Our dog did not become overly anxious due to kind handling. I was relieved to be able to have out of hours, good quality advice and care for my dog who had become unwell quite quickly.
