Please note that we moved to Pembroke Rd in 2024, which is just 100m down the road from our old site in Eardley Rd.

Behind every out-of-hours visit is a dedicated team of highly skilled, experienced vets and nurses who have given up their nights, weekends and holidays to be there for your pet when it matters most.

Like all out-of-hours services, this round-the-clock cover does carry additional costs, which we’ve laid out as clearly as possible below.
