Book a video consultation with one of our experienced emergency vets and talk through your concerns in the comfort of your own home.
Please note that this is a UK based veterinary service. If you are not in the UK please do not book an appointment, and instead, look for veterinary assistance in your locality.
Simply choose a time slot convenient for you and we’ll connect you to one of our experienced vets to give you peace of mind.
What do I need?
All you need to start your video consultation with one of our emergency vets is an internet-enabled device with a camera, such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
How much does it cost?
A 10-minute video consultation costs just £24 and if your pet needs to be seen at one of our clinics, we’ll refund this back to you so that your video consult is free.

We were whisked straight in and the vet Sara got straight on the case. I was completely distraught and Sara and her team looked after me as well as Cookie. I cannot thank Sara and Vets Now enough for saving my little girl.

Is a video consultation right for me?
