Vets Now is part of the Vets Now emergency-care provider network (with clinics and hospitals across the UK), set up for out-of-hours pet emergencies and supported by an option for video consultations. In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention rapid triage on arrival (including a dog being taken “as soon as we walked in”) and proactive communication (phone updates and being able to call overnight for progress reports). Pricing and value are a major decision factor: one recent reviewer reports a £320 minimum fee plus medication charges and a £35 “admin fee” for insurance claims, while another describes feeling “fear-mongered” into an immediate visit for diarrhoea that their regular vet later judged non-urgent.
