Vets Now Guildford

Vets Now Guildford is part of the Vets Now emergency-veterinary group and is set up specifically for out-of-hours urgent and critical cases for dogs, cats, and small animals (the website says it has provided this service since 2009). The clinic lists in-house facilities such as X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, an in-house laboratory, an operating theatre, an isolation unit, and a hospital ward—suggesting it can stabilise and investigate a wide range of emergencies rather than just triage.

Recent reviews include time-critical ingestion care where a dog was “seen straight away,” vomiting was induced, and anti-nausea treatment was given, with the owner back in the car within around 30 minutes. Another owner credits the team’s communication and an onward referral to “RVC” with giving their dog “a small chance” of recovery.
