About Vets Now Coventry
Your Vets Now pet emergency service has been serving local pet owners since 2004. We’re here for sick and injured pets when your daytime vet is closed.
Our emergency veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses are specially trained to handle pet emergencies. Because they don’t work during the day, they’ll be ready to see your pet at the time you need them.
You’ll find us based within the PDSA hospital on Barker Butts Lane.

We’ve compiled a list of some frequently asked questions about visiting Vets Now Coventry.
Does my pet need to be registered with Vets Now to receive emergency treatment?
We treat all pets, regardless of which daytime clinic you use, and will ensure that all case notes are transferred back to your usual vet practice during their working hours.
Vets Now is the pet equivalent of an accident and emergency service, dedicated to providing pets with access to out of hours emergency treatment. It’s all our emergency vets do.
What should I expect when I call Vets Now?
When you contact us, we’ll provide advice over the phone and advise whether you need to bring your pet into the clinic for immediate emergency treatment.
If your pet requires emergency care, we’ll normally ask you to bring them to our clinic, where we have the personnel, equipment, and medicine to provide immediate treatment.
If you have pet insurance, bring your policy details. All or some of the treatment costs, as well as any consultation fees, may be reimbursed by your policy. Please be aware that cover varies considerably, so you should check what is covered and what excesses apply.
What will happen when my pet is waiting to be seen?
Your pet will be initially triaged by one of our nursing team who will ensure that the most seriously ill pets are seen as a priority by one of our vets. If your pet has life-threatening injuries, please be reassured that we will administer emergency first aid treatment.
How long will I have to wait for my pet to be seen?
We operate a triage system, which means the sickest and unwelllest patients are seen first, as this allows us to respond effectively just as you would in a human A&E unit.
Our highly trained emergency teams are smaller than your daytime vets and manage unpredictable caseloads, especially at weekends and during the night.
Like human A&E, this can lead to variable waiting times as we prioritise the pets requiring more urgent care. If you are concerned about your pet’s condition while you are waiting, please do not hesitate to tell the team immediately.
Will my own vet practice be updated?
A copy of your pet’s medical records and any additional appropriate information will automatically be sent to your regular vet practice. If you are going for a follow-up appointment with them and they have any questions, they can contact us to discuss further.
I have some additional questions about cost, payment and pet insurance
Our customer support team have answered all the questions you might have about cost, payment and insurance here.
We understand that emergency situations can be highly stressful circumstances for pet owners, and our out of hours team endeavours to provide the highest service possible to respond to your concerns.
