Compassionate care

I had to take my cat to Vets Now in Staines late at night when he suddenly became very poorly. It was a very distressing experience as sadly my cat had to be put to sleep but I'll never forget the compassion and kindness of the brilliant vet Rebecca (Becky) who dealt with him that night. She explained everything that was happening so patiently considering how upset I was and both the nurse working with her and the receptionist were also lovely. I have full confidence that everything was done for my cat that could have been under the sad circumstances and he experienced kindness to the end.
I was very touched when following his cremation, I collected my cat's ashes from the surgery a couple of weeks later to find that his paw prints had been put on to a card for me which I hadn't expected and will always treasure.

Absolutely do not visit this ''veteriarian''

Absolutely do not visit this establishment, they are a predatory business who pray on the pain of pets and owners and rile animal up just to sell you more medicine, while laughing. Go to your local vet instead of this disgusting money hungry place... DO NOT VISIT NO MATTER WHAT.

DO NOT VISIT THIS VET!!

DO NOT VISIT THIS VET!!! if you can, just go to your regular day vet instead. i was charged £345 for an incomplete checkup; i brought my cat in with concerns of a urinary blockage. they only managed to check her heart rate and temperature which is ridiculous for almost £400. my cat has also never been this upset after a vet visit which makes me think they rile pets up on purpose to milk extra money for sedatives out of owners. the staff were also finding my cat’s reaction quite funny which was frankly disgusting. do not visit this practice and save your money. i can’t believe i was charged to is much for something that would cost £60 MAX at a regular vet. it’s understandable to charge more as it’s an emergency practice but this is just disgusting.

Lovely treatment, admin fee scam

The vet that treated my dog was lovely and extremely helpful. However, the process that has followed that has been extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. After my dog was treated I was pressured and taken advantage of into paying a £35 admin fee only for them to do no leg work and not having submitted my claim 6 working days after I completed their form. My insurance advised that the fee is not normal and should not be happening.

Hi Jenna, thank you for your feedback. Our insurance admin fee is applied as the veterinary surgeon is making a professional declaration that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, all information provided on the claim form is true and complete and that the fees charged are no more than the fees they would normally charge their clients. Completion of the claim form is more than an act of administration, rather a professional statement, similar to a doctor’s letter for example, which would be required to verify information given to an insurance company. As such, completion of the form attracts a fee.

If you would like to discuss this further then please email enquiriesteam@vets-now.com indicating which clinic you attended, your pet’s name, the first line of your home address and your reason for getting in touch.

Thoughtful and caring staff.

At a time of stress the staff were very friendly and efficient ensuring that my dog who was already in pain felt safe and comfortable while being examined. I was grateful that this practice was open on a Sunday. Thank you.

Negative Experience

Took our pug in after a fall and had to sit on the waiting room floor for 2+ hours before being seen. The Vet was pressurising us to have our pug put down due to a neurological issue. We refused this and visited our usual vets, and have been told he has just hurt his elbow! Spent 2+ hours and almost £500 for an incorrect diagnosis.

On the plus, The nurse that completed the triage was lovely and very compassionate.

Hi, thanks for your feedback on the cost of your pet’s care at Vets Now. 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. For a thorough breakdown and explanation of our pricing policy, feel free to visit: https://www.vets-now.com/2018/01/emergency-vet-costs-prices-fees/

Excellent service

Excellent service, superb treatment of my girl, who had to have an emergency Caesarian.
A bit scared at first as I did not know who was going to be treating her, but the vets skill was second to none and the nurse was very experienced.
