About Vets Now

Vets Now are nationwide network of out-of-hours pet emergency clinics that are open through the night, at weekends and on bank holidays. They’re ready and waiting to provide expert, pet emergency care when your regular vet is closed.

Their pet emergency clinics are the pet equivalent of A&E and their purpose is to give you and your pet the care and support you deserve, at the time you need it most, whether it’s four in the morning or in the middle of Christmas Day.

If you are needing emergency treatment or advice during normal daytime hours you can still contact the usual Knutsford Vets number and we’ll be able to give your pet the treatment they need.

If you need help out-of-hours — during the night, at the weekend or on a bank holiday call one of the clinics above.
