Life at Vets Now
Our culture
For more than 25 years, our people have shaped emergency care with skill, compassion and shared purpose. Today, that same culture helps our teams feel supported, live our values and keep learning throughout their careers.
What defines us
Connected beyond the clinic
Teamwork when it matters most
Learning built into life here
Nationwide team, 25 years in the making.
Vets Now began with a simple belief: pets should have access to emergency care whenever an emergency happens.
For more than 25 years, our people have turned that belief into a nationwide network of more than 60 locations including out-of-hours clinics and two 24/7 hospitals.
Wherever you work, you'll be connected to experienced colleagues who share knowledge, uphold high standards and support when it matters most.
Purpose you can feel. Support you can rely on.
Culture is more than what we say. It's reflected in how our people work together, how we invest in development and how we use our skills to make a meaningful difference.
Built on teamwork, trust and support
Out-of-hours care relies on strong teams, clear communication and people who support each other.
Across our clinics and hospitals, you’ll be part of a culture built on collaboration, respect and shared responsibility, where colleagues step in and support one another.

Hear from our people
I've had loads of support as far as the flexibility of shifts is concerned and working things around childcare. I can't imagine how I'd ever make it work financially if I was still in first opinion as it would need to be part-time.
I’ve really enjoyed it. There have been cases – like a GDV that came in recently – that I’ve been able to treat successfully that I’d never have been able to handle before I did Cutting Edge. I feel that I’m making a real difference, helping to save animals’ lives and that I have found what I’m meant to do.
