Drum roll, please... ๐Ÿฅ We are thrilled to announce our Vets Now Pet of the Year award runners-up. Our second 2024 runner-up is Wilbur. ๐Ÿถ

Wilbur has transformed his owner Lucyโ€™s life after being paired with him two years ago. A rare form of vasculitis, Granulomatosis with Polyangitis (GPA), robbed Lucy of her hearing at the age of 17 and left her too scared to go out alone but Wilbur has given her the confidence to get back out into the world. ๐Ÿ’™ StreetVet

A blood transfusion from a cat abandoned in a dog waste bin has saved the life of a kitten left at death's door by an infestation of fleas. ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

11-month-old Persian cat Bertie (white) needed an immediate blood transfusion after being rushed to our Vets Now clinic in Gillingham.

With no stored supplies of cat blood available, a live transfusion was the only option. Our dedicated nurse, who had previously adopted Mr Hankey (black cat) when he was found abandoned, rushed home to bring him in for donation. Thankfully, his blood was a match! ๐Ÿฅฐ

A few weeks ago, Honey came to our Vets Now Belfast clinic as she was experiencing some abdominal pain. ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

After thorough investigations, Honey underwent surgery to remove a portion of her bowel after it had perforated. Turns out, the culprit behind her abdominal pain was a sneaky squeaker toy she had swallowed, maybe some time ago! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ After a successful procedure to remove the toy, Honey's been bouncing back, and we're so glad to have helped her. ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ

Meet handsome Murphy! ๐Ÿพ

Our Manchester Hospital team first met him at the age of two, when the cardiology team diagnosed him with a congenital heart condition. Despite facing challenges, including emergency chest surgery and later a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, Murphy's resilience shines through.

Now, at seven years old, he's always thrilled to see them during his visits as much as they love to see him. ๐Ÿ’– Nothing can dampen Murphy's spirit; he's an absolute superstar and a much-loved visitor to the hospital.

Meet this gorgeous goose who was brought into our Vets Now Pet Emergency Hospital Glasgow by the SSPCA recently after being shot with a crossbow. ๐Ÿ˜ข With the skilled assistance of our out-of-hours team, Nicole, our lead out-of-hours vet, successfully removed the arrow in a highly tricky procedure, including safely anaesthetising the brave bird.

Thanks to their expertise and dedication, the goose has made an astounding recovery and has been happily discharged into SSPCA's care, which has launched inquiries with the police to find out how this happened.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Nicole and our fantastic team, including Nicola, pictured here, for their unwavering commitment to saving lives. โค๏ธ

Poor Appa was discovered on the roadside, fighting for breath with a fractured pelvis, hip, and femur, alongside severe nerve damage. Tragically, this occurred just as he was settling into a loving new home with Adam, who had kindly adopted him. ๐Ÿฅบ

Adam rushed to our Vets Now Pet Emergency Hospital Manchester, where Appa underwent urgent surgery, including the insertion of a metal plate to mend his crushed pelvis. Despite efforts, his left hind leg couldn't be saved, but that hasn't stopped Appa. To everyone's surprise, he is back running and climbing as fast on three legs as he did on four! ๐Ÿฑ

Giving people and their pets the care and support they deserve, at the time they need it most

Vets Now was founded in 2001 by Richard Dixon, a veterinary surgeon who understood the pressure of being on-call round the clock while also trying to maintain a good quality of life. His solution was Vets Now, a dedicated out-of-hours emergency and critical care service for pets.

In the following years, Richard and his team helped revolutionise the way emergency veterinary care was provided outside of normal surgery hours. He worked in partnership with local veterinary practices to offer vets and their clients an out-of-hours service. At the heart of this was a team of full-time vets, vet nurses and support staff who only worked at night, over weekends and during public holidays.

In 2019, Richard sold Vets Now to Europeโ€™s leading veterinary care provider, IVC, but the business has not changed and, today, Vets Now provides a trusted service to more than 1400 veterinary practices across the UK โ€” from 58 dedicated out-of-hours clinics and three 24/7 pet emergency hospitals, including Ipswich.

In total, our highly-skilled staff treat around 150,000 small animals every year โ€” and during seasonal holidays, like Christmas and Easter, we answer around five queries an hour from worried pet owners. So whether youโ€™re in Canterbury, Chartham or Broad Oak weโ€™re there for you and your pet when you need us most.
