Emergencies

We provide a 24 hour emergency service

Every day, night, weekend and bank holiday there is a vet on call to deal with emergencies

If you have an animal that needs emergency treatment simply telephone the main surgery number
(01423) 862121
at any time.

Unlike many other veterinary practices we do not use an answer phone (except in unusual circumstances). This means that you will either speak directly to the vet, or if the vet is busy you will get through to another member of staff who can pass your message on.

In most cases we prefer to see small animals at the surgery. We simply cannot carry all of the equipment at the surgery in our cars, so we can only offer a limited service if we come to see your pet at home.

We will usually see horses and farm animals where they are kept. We carry enough equipment in our cars to deal effectively with most emergencies involving these species. In some cases we may still need to go to the surgery to get more equipment.
