Clinic Overview

Vets Now Peterborough is part of the Vets Now UK-wide network focused on pet emergency and out‑of‑hours care. Based on the website and recent reviews, it’s set up for urgent cases that can’t wait for a regular daytime practice—owners describe same‑day/weekend appointments, immediate treatment, and diagnostics such as blood tests and X‑rays. Practical touches mentioned include a separate, quieter waiting room for cats, and sending consultation details by email as well as explaining them in person. Reviews are split: many describe thorough explanations and compassionate handling in stressful situations, while others raise concerns about very high costs and (in one case) a suspected misdiagnosis.

Services

  • Emergency/out‑of‑hours veterinary care (website).
  • Video consultations and live chat options (“Speak to a Vet Now”/video chat mentioned on the site).
  • Diagnostics mentioned in reviews: blood tests; X‑rays; assessment and prognosis discussions.
  • Treatments mentioned in reviews
  • Anti‑sickness injection for a dog diagnosed with gastritis.
  • Pain management/support for a dog with fractured ribs.
  • Removal of a stuck egg in a bird (egg-binding described).
  • General anaesthetic (GA) care and monitored recovery (owner described being allowed to stay during recovery and being shown X‑rays).

Pricing

Recent reviews include specific charges

  • Fee “just to be seen”: £302.50 (one owner’s account).
  • Example total bill after blood tests and an anti‑sickness injection: £590 (same account), with total paid reported as £625.43.
  • Insurance claim administration fee reported by one owner: £35.
  • Medication pricing concern: £90 for two tubes (another owner compared this to a much lower online price).

People

  • Megan (vet): described as “very thorough” and explaining everything clearly during a stressful visit with a cat.
  • Natalya (vet): credited with prompt, knowledgeable care for a very poorly cat, including diagnosis/prognosis and medication to improve comfort.
  • Unnamed nurse: repeatedly mentioned for calm handling and pain support for a dog with fractured ribs, plus taking time to guide the owner through what was happening.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.1 stars from 292 reviews. “”

  • Speed and practicality for urgent visits: owners mention getting weekend/Sunday appointments quickly and being treated immediately, sometimes being “on our way home quickly.”
  • Clear explanations and information sharing: multiple reviews mention vets explaining options/risks and providing follow‑up information by email as well as verbally; one owner valued being shown X‑rays.
  • Compassionate handling in high-stress cases: especially around pain control and reassurance (fractured ribs case) and during recovery from GA.
  • Facilities that reduce stress for cats: a separate/quieter cat waiting room is specifically mentioned.
  • Cost concerns are prominent in some reviews: “eye wateringly expensive,” specific high fees, and markups on medications are called out.
  • A reported quality concern: one owner believes their dog was misdiagnosed (later passing cloth suggesting a blockage) despite raising that concern during the consultation; the same review still notes staff were kind and polite.
