Vets Now Middlesbrough is an out-of-hours emergency veterinary service for small animals in Stockton-on-Tees and is part of IVC Evidensia. It offers emergency treatment when daytime practices are closed, with in-patient and overnight care also mentioned, and the wider Vets Now service references video consultations. Recent feedback is largely positive about calm handling of urgent cases, clear communication, and supportive care, although cost is a recurring concern for some owners.

Services

•Out-of-hours emergency care for small animals: the clinic operates when host practices are closed and reviews mention treatment for dogs, cats, and rabbits.
•Urgent treatment and stabilisation: recent examples include a very sick cat seen immediately on New Year’s Day, a dog treated after a wasp sting inside the ear, and an emergency Caesarean section where two puppies were delivered safely.
•In-patient and overnight care: reviews mention pets being kept in overnight, including a cat, with owners describing good care during the stay.
•Rabbit care: rabbit treatment is specifically mentioned in reviews, including recovery support and updates while a rabbit stayed at the clinic, though one owner felt options for exotic pets were more limited.
•Remote support and broader specialties: the Vets Now service references video consultations through “Speak to a Vet Now”, and the website summary lists neurology and oncology among the specialties available.

Fantastic service really put my mind at rest with my fur baby, yes it had a cost (which we expect with it being out of hour emergency) yes there was a waiting time (understandable due to the time) was great waitj daidy and us pure privacy with out consulatation and sp much reassurance. Only down side i would say is (luckly we could pay) they didnt ask of we could afford to pay and quote 5.4 of the policy. On the ohine we was asked to bring id (wasnt asked for) but could pote tially asked for the rest of the requirement within the requirement shoudl people be in financial difficulty Thank you all fo a fantastic service the nif naf is clearly not a relfectiion on your service

Vet and nurses were fabulous. We were greeted on arrival, asked to sit and wait, although not for long, my dog was stressed and i took it on myself to sit in one of the empty treatment rooms. The nurse came to find us and didn't mind us sitting in the other room whilst waiting. The nurse took details and the vet was finishing up in surgery but came out as soon as she could to see to my dog. The vet attempted to help my dog to give birth naturally but she ended up needing an emergency c section. The vet had to see to x2 other animals prior to operating which made me feel anxious as baby was breech. I called an hour later and was told x2 puppies had just been delivered safely. Unfortunately my dog brought up fluids when moved from one room to another where the tube had dislodged. The vet explained this and told us what to look out for. Both puppies were born safely and mother and puppies were home within a few hours. Unfotunately i didn"t have a box with me that i could put the puppies in whilst travelling home but a friendly customer gave us her dogs blanket and we put that inside a bag for life for safe travels. All staff were wondeful. I can't fault the team but the cost was much more than I thought it would have been- there was no option of a payment plan but i literally paid my last penny to ensure my dog and her puppies could get the best care possible, and that they did! My dog has a post-op appointment at our local vet today and I'm sure they will be happy with the surgery- such a clean and tidy wound. Thank you- I will be returning the towel they wrapped my dog in and if they need any bedding donated, I love to crochet and knit and would like to contribute if allowed.

Our cat became very sick on New Year's Day. Vets Now saw us immediately and offered the least invasive and cheapest option first. This worked quickly and successfully and we were able to take him straight home. Great service.
