Vets Now Chesterfield is part of the Vets Now emergency veterinary group, set up for out-of-hours urgent and emergency care for small animals, with support also available via video consultation (as described on the clinic’s site). Recent reviews frequently mention being seen quickly during out-of-hours emergencies (including “within 10 mins”), and that notes can be sent on to a client’s regular “partner practice” vet. Pricing is a repeated decision point: several reviewers describe very high fees (including being quoted £300+ for a consultation and £1500–£1600 for overnight care), while others say costs were “high” but treatment felt “worth it” or “reasonable” once underway.
