Vets Now is the pet equivalent of an accident and emergency service, dedicated to providing pets with access to a vet out of hours. It’s all they do. Our local clinic is based at Willet House in Staines, where their vets and vet nurses are specially trained to deal with pet emergencies. Because they don’t work during the day, they’ll be up and ready to see your pet at the time you need them. There are also Vets Now clinics located in Reading and High Wycombe should these be more convenient to you. Vets Now has been providing dedicated out-of-hours emergency pet care across the UK for more than 15 years, and now responds to almost half-a-million pet emergencies every year. We believe our partnership offers you and your pet the very best level of care, day and night. You can find out more about their service here. Don’t forget, their team don’t work during the day, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing them at night. So, if you’re worried about your pet when we are unavailable, don’t hesitate to give them a call. We would remind you that Vets Now is a pet emergency service. For all other aspects of veterinary care and routine treatments please call us as you would normally, during our daytime opening hours.
At Alma Veterinary Hospital we know your pets are part of your family and our priority is, and always will be, to ensure they have access to the very best care, no matter what the time of day or night.
