Dealing with a crisis?
Emergencies
during opening hours
If your pet appears seriously ill
or sustains injuries which require urgent attention during our
opening hours, please
call the practice on 01708 373671 before you bring your pet in, in
order that we can be fully prepared for your arrival.
If your pet may have eaten or drunk
something toxic, please bring the container with you so that we can
find out exactly what has been swallowed.
Emergencies out of opening hours
If your pet becomes seriously ill or is
injured out of opening hours, emergency care will be
provided by the dedicated service at the Queen Mother Hospital for
Animals (QMH) as seen on the television programme 'Supervets'. The hospital’s vets and nursing staff are
specially trained to deal with emergency and critical care cases,
and have dedicated facilities including an intensive care unit.
Please call our usual telephone number, 01708
373671, and your call will be automatically
diverted to the QMH.
The hospital is located off junction 23
of the M25 and is sign-posted 'Royal Vet College'. For

emergency to us or to the
