Accidents and sickness can happen at any time. So it's reassuring to know that Victoria Veterinary Centre is there for you every hour of the day and night. Unlike many veterinary centres these days, our own vets will deal with emergency work at our own surgery.

What do I do?

If something happens to your pet, you want to know what to do - fast. Our highly qualified vets are available 24-Hours, to help you every step of the way.

Step 1: Act immediately

If your pet is in distress, lethargic or giving cause for concern, it's important to get expert advice straight away. Waiting for normal business hours prolongs your pet's suffering and could seriously compromise its health. To talk to the Vet, call the number below:

01457 852367

Have a pen and paper at hand because if the surgery is closed, the answerphone will give you another number to call which will be answered by our emergency answering service. The vet will be paged and will call you back within minutes.

Step 2: Know the facts

When the vet calls back, help your pet by passing on all the information you can. Remember, this can save time in the long run, so do try to remain calm.

Step 3: Take good advice

Following the guidance offered will help to ensure that your pet doesn't suffer further distress or injury in the course of getting assistance. If in doubt, don't move your pet, but keep it warm and comforted.

Try not to worry

We're proud of the professional care that our nurses give every poorly pet, ensuring you both get the very best TLC too - just when you need it the most.
