Clinic Overview

Vets Now is part of the Vets Now emergency veterinary group and is set up as a dedicated 24/7 pet emergency hospital (opened in 2009) providing both emergency and referral care for dogs, cats and small animals. The website describes specialist/referral services including oncology, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, orthopaedic surgery, anaesthesia and diagnostic imaging, with diagnostics and treatment “under one roof.”

From recent reviews, owners commonly describe very fast triage on arrival (including being taken straight to intensive/critical care), frequent updates during hospital stays (calls and, in some cases, emailed photos), and information being passed on to the pet’s usual vet. One recent review reports a conflicting experience: strong praise for reception staff but concerns about some clinicians focusing on price early, discharge without a clear diagnosis, and variable communication between clinicians.

People

  • Dr Rae (role not specified in the review): named by an owner who described support in understanding “the whole clinical pathway.”
  • Carmen: praised for explaining what would happen during an urgent admission and work-up (owner report).
  • Leonor (surgeon): called out for clearly explaining what was done after surgery (owner report).
  • Kara (ICU): mentioned as providing update calls morning and evening, and sending photos during ICU care (owner report).
  • Reception team: repeatedly mentioned in reviews for professionalism and empathy; one reviewer explicitly contrasted excellent reception support with less satisfactory communication from some clinicians.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.5 stars from 1,762 reviews. - Rapid response and triage, including being seen quickly overnight/early morning and patients being taken straight to intensive/critical care when severely unwell.

  • Proactive communication during hospital stays: frequent progress updates by phone, clear explanations, and (in some cases) emailed photos for reassurance.
  • Complex emergency treatment is described by owners, including imaging, ICU care and surgery (e.g., ruptured gallbladder surgery).
  • Practical continuity: at least one owner mentions the clinic passing information to their usual vet.
  • A minority report inconsistent clinician communication: one recent review describes feeling cost was emphasised before listening, leaving without a clear diagnosis after an initial visit, and a markedly better experience after being transferred to another doctor.
