How to choose a 24-hour vet
- Call before you drive: confirm a vet is on site overnight (not on call) and ask for the emergency consultation fee.
- Ask for a written estimate before major tests or surgery, and agree a spending limit at which they must call you.
- Bring your pet's medical records, medication and any packaging of something it may have eaten.
- If you have pet insurance, check emergency and hospitalisation limits and whether you must pay first and claim later.
Red flags
- No estimate given before expensive diagnostics or surgery in a non-life-threatening case.
- The clinic is not on AVS's licensed veterinary centre registry.
