Vets Now (Sheffield)

Vets Now (Sheffield) is part of the Vets Now emergency-vet group and focuses on out-of-hours care for dogs, cats and other small animals. The website describes a clinic set up for emergency and critical care (including an in-house lab, hospital ward/isolation unit and an operating theatre), and it is listed as RCVS accredited as a Small Animal Emergency Service Clinic (ESC). In the latest reviews, owners describe being able to bring pets in quickly after calling (with staff already expecting them), overnight care during holiday periods (New Year’s), and treatment with medication—alongside repeated comments that emergency visits can be costly and that speed of service can vary.
