Emergency Care

PETS is our preferred emergency service partner. They are based at the Newnham Court Veterinary Hospital in Maidstone and have a full-time dedicated emergency service team, ready to take your call during unsociable hours!

Please call us immediately if your pet is struggling to breath, collapses or has a seizure. Advance warning before you arrive allows us to prepare for your arrival and get treatment started as soon as possible. Other reasons to seek immediate advice or care include; uncontrollable bleeding, severe trauma, intoxication and trouble giving birth.

Our team manage all emergencies; from initial stabilisation to diagnosis and treatment. Pets can be hospitalised on the spot, in order to administer emergency fluids, oxygen and pain relief. Once stable, diagnostics can be performed to get to the route of their problem. For surgical emergencies, our state-of-the-art theatre can be ready at a moment.

If your pet needs to be hospitalised with us at the clinic, we have several inpatient wards to accommodate them; one for dogs, one for cats and rabbits and another for isolation cases.

Deciding when to say goodbye to your pet can be extremely difficult. As pet owners and animal lovers, we understand the pain and upset that this can bring to your family. You may have started to wonder if your pet is still able to enjoy life, especially as they get older and start to struggle with more advanced illness.
