Out-of-Hours Emergency Care: Here for Your Pet When You Need Us Most
Call us on 01271452660
At Tarka Vets, we understand that pet emergencies don't always happen during regular clinic hours. That's why we're committed to providing our own dedicated emergency out-of-hours service, ensuring your pet has access to urgent veterinary care when they need it most. You won't have to travel to an unfamiliar clinic; you'll see a familiar face and your pet will be in a known environment, helping to reduce stress during a worrying time.
Our experienced team is here to provide immediate attention and critical care for your pet during evenings and weekends. We are available for emergencies during the following times:
Monday to Friday: From 6 PM until 8 AM the following morning.
Saturday: From 11:30 AM onwards right through until Monday at 8 AM.
Not sure if you need to be seen, try our symptoms checker but if you’re still not sure then call us and we can advice you.
