Vets Now Arvostelua 

Most helpful on the phone seen straight away on arrival by the nurse taking information this was passed to the vet.
The treatment was dealt with in a professional way
and soon on are way.

a filthy expereince from start to finish, was in for less that 10 minues of which only 4 minutes with a vet, still non the wiser as to what is wrong with my dog, an anti sickness jab and a visit to my own vet on Monday morning to get to the bottom of it. The reception area was absolutely filthy and the staff less than helpful. Paid my bill in full and was then charged a £35 insurance admin fee which I am now trying to get a refund on so £422 for less than 10 minutes WOW such value for money at £105 per minute with the vet!! and £42 per minute for the full joyful experience, this cannot ever be justified with wages and equipment in my book

From the receptionist to the treatment from the vet….excellent. It’s such a worrying time when your pet is sick and they alleviated all the worry & treated our pet kindly & professionally .

Very caring friendly staff prompt treatment

Having to wait hours to be seen is a pain, especially when you have to rely on friends for lifts, but no complaints. Kept informed about my dog and told upfront about costs.

I contacted this practice late Saturday afternoon due to concerns about my rabbit and brought her in. The receptionist and vet were absolutely lovely and very helpful, but the prices are absolutely extortionate.

I can see in the comments that the practice has tagged the URL to “where the fees go”, but realistically, these companies charge as much as they do because they know people will pay when it comes to making sure their animals are well.

11 hours later, I was making another phone call to the vets because I had one simple question. I asked if the lady on the phone could speak to the vet or arrange a call back to ask when I could expect my rabbit’s stools to return to normal, and at what point I should consider bringing her back to the emergency vets if they continued to be loose.

The lady on the triage call was doing her best to support me and was unfortunately stuck in the middle. I was told that I would have to bring my rabbit back in because the vet wanted to see her. Even this I was bit confused about as I could not fully understand why the vet wanted to see my rabbit. The vet the previous night had said loose stools can be expected after what she has been through but now I’m being told to bring her to see the vet again?

I asked whether I would have to pay another consultation fee and was told yes, as it had been more than 24 hours. I explained that it hadn’t been 24 hours — it had only been 11 hours. The lady came back and said that, after speaking with the practice, I would still have to pay the consultation fee again.

I was honestly shocked and extremely disappointed.

Anyway, I brought my rabbit back to the vets and saw a veterinary nurse, who reiterated that if I wanted to see a vet, I would have to pay. I explained again that all I wanted was for the vet to answer one simple question. The vet didn’t come out to speak to me, and instead the veterinary nurse had to keep going back and forth between us.

Later I also found out I could have used Telford’s practice but instead was sent to Stoke which is further away - not good when you have a rabbit who is poorly due to stress and all of this was going to add to her stress!

Long story short, I’ve since been told about a different emergency vets called Bramble & Bear, whose pricing is not extortionate and which my usual vet practice spoke highly of. When people in my usual vets are saying ‘I will never use Vets Now’ it makes you think… I will never use this company again.

Although the staff were lovely and, thankfully, my rabbit is better now, I cannot justify being charged £600 for two consultations in less than 12 hours. It is absolutely laughable.

I dread to think about the number of animals and owners who are put in the position of wanting to help their pet but also thinking of the financial impact of this during out-of-hours care simply because these prices are unaffordable for normal, everyday people.

Very pleasant staff but more important very through medical carried out on Parsley

The staff were excellent. Jodie, VN was very kind and efficient. Claire treated my little old cat with respect and a wonderfully warm attitude. Glad to say all tests were fine.

Very good service but felt like I was taken advantage of when it came to costs. It felt like the vet knew it was expensive. Very very expensive and he was in commission

Trustpilot Review

Very disappointed with how my claim has been handled.

My cat Leo was treated by Vets Now on 7 August 2026. I have contacted Vets Now twice to chase the information required for my Tesco Insurance claim, but Vets Now apparently failed to respond to Tesco Insurance.

As a result, Tesco Insurance has now closed my claim, leaving me out of pocket.

I have had to pay £500 to Vets Now on my credit card to prevent further credit charges from building up while this matter remains unresolved. I am now seeking to recover this £500 and any associated interest or other reasonable costs caused by the delay.

I have asked for details of the appropriate regulatory and complaints escalation process. If this is not resolved, I will escalate the matter through the appropriate financial complaints process, including the Financial Ombudsman Service where applicable.

I should not be left financially disadvantaged because the veterinary practice failed to provide information required by my insurer. I expect both parties to properly investigate this and resolve the matter rather than passing the responsibility between each other.

Under sad conditions, Jasper and I were treated with dignity and compassion, speedily and efficiently.

Emily the vet and her nurse were amazing . She explained everything so well and lots of common sense. They looked after our cat Missy with great care. Just VERY expensive!

Absolutley discusting company paid a 302.50 consultation fee had to take pet back for same symptoms within 13 hours and have to pay the same consulation fee can clearly see the priority within this vets MONEY!!!!!!

They were thorough attentative caring i could not recommend them enough.

Bad Service!

All about money and not the care of your pet. Out of hours service is daylight robbery who pray on those who love their pets knowing the will pay. Even when insured you are charged £300 plus before you even see the vet.

They were amazing with our and showed so much love and care and even tried to help her baby which we lost but allowed us to take him home to bury thank you for saving her life and trying to save her baby - miss helen seager

My daughter wants to say thank you also for saving our cats life and taking care of her and baby xx

Excellent service provided by receptionist and vet on call as gsd having gastro problems. Sorted very quickly. I'd say average pricing for late night emergency so not too upset.

I am extremely upset and disgusted by our experience at Vets Now. We brought our cat in as an emergency because she was barely moving and breathing very heavily. There appeared to be only one vet working, yet almost immediately we were asked to authorise up to £2,000 for treatment. It makes you question how much profit this company makes from desperate pet owners who have no choice when their animal is sick.
We were told her X-rays and blood tests would take 30 minutes to an hour. Instead, we waited six hours, repeatedly asking for updates and receiving very little information. In the end, they found gas in her stomach but couldn’t tell us what was actually wrong with her.
What I find most disturbing is the condition Mina was returned to us in. Her legs and neck were extensively shaved, badly sore and bleeding, and she was extremely angry and distressed. Nobody told us what had happened to her or why she was in that condition. I genuinely have serious concerns about how Mina was handled and whether she was mistreated while she was out of our sight. An animal cannot be returned to their owner bleeding like this with no proper explanation.
The nurses seemed extremely clumsy, and I personally witnessed a nurse accidentally hit a dog’s head against a door while carrying the dog. Even the reception area was in a terrible condition, with dirty carpet and broken chairs.
For the enormous amount Vets Now charges, I expected sufficient staff, transparency and, above all, safe and compassionate treatment of animals. Instead, we left without answers and with our cat in a worse physical and emotional state. I will be making a formal complaint about what happened to Mina.

The focus was more on paperwork and the cost than on treating the animal to relieve its pain and suffering—and it was ridiculously expensive, too.
