Emergencies

When something happens outside our normal practice opening time, every minute waiting for our surgery to reopen seems like a lifetime.

If you think you pet may need emergency treatment we use the services of VetsNow

VetsNow is the pet equivalent of an accident and emergency service and the leading provider of pet emergency care in the UK. Their veterinary teams are specially trained in emergency and critical care and work only out of hours, through the night, at weekends and on bank holidays.

That means they are ready and waiting to see you and your pet, whether it's in the early hours of the morning or halfway through Sunday lunch.

What does this mean for me?

If your pet falls ill when we are outside our normal working hours, you can call the  VetsNow team who will be happy to talk through your concerns and see your pet if needed.

Simply phone 020 8001 9626 and VetsNow Barnet will take your calls. (If you are closer to another VetsNow you can request to be there there instead).

Even if it’s just to put your mind at ease, don’t hesitate to give them a call when we are closed.

Concerned about your pet? does your pet need to see us and how urgent is it? please use our symptom checker to find out.

When a pet is diagnosed with a condition and there’s a lot of information to take in, or when you want to know more about a disease, illness, or general pet health, we’ve provided some vet-written factsheets for your convenience.
