Services
Emergency Care
Our 24/7 emergency veterinary service provides critical care for pets outside regular hours. Partnering with Vets Now ensures trained professionals handle trauma, poisoning, and acute illnesses. Dedicated night staff maintain continuity of care while reducing burnout risks for daytime teams.
Vaccinations
Tailored vaccination programmes protect pets against core diseases like distemper, leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia. We offer puppy/kitten courses, annual boosters, and travel vaccines. Automated reminders ensure timely protection while our nurses explain each vaccine's importance during 15-minute consultations.
Wellness Screening
Annual wellness screens detect early signs of kidney disease, arthritis, and other silent conditions in mature pets. Blood/urine tests, joint assessments, and dental checks form comprehensive evaluations. Results within 10 days allow prompt intervention, with discounts available for Pet Health Club members.
Pet Health Club
Subscription-based plans cover vaccinations, flea/worm treatments, and six-month health checks. Direct Debit payments spread costs annually, with additional discounts on neutering and dental procedures. Members receive priority booking and automated appointment reminders for convenient pet healthcare management.
Pet Insurance Guidance
We assist clients with insurance claims processing, explaining policy coverage for emergency treatments. Our team provides detailed clinical notes and invoices required for reimbursements, while advising on suitable insurance options during consultations to ensure financial preparedness for unexpected veterinary costs.
