Emergency Vets in Greater Manchester

Pet Medics Veterinary Surgeons (MiNightVet) is part of the PetMedics group (the website describes three practices) and is set up as a certificate-led referrals, emergency and critical care hospital that also offers first-opinion appointments. The website describes a dedicated 24-hour emergency service on-site, with in-house diagnostics (including CT, ultrasound and X‑ray) and a broad referral offering (orthopaedics, soft tissue and laparoscopic surgery, cardiology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, dermatology). From the latest reviews available, most visits described are urgent, often late-night emergencies; owners repeatedly mention being told to come straight in with no appointment needed. Multiple reviews also describe end-of-life care: being given time in a family room, clear explanations during euthanasia, and thoughtful aftercare such as receiving a condolence card and, when requested, pawprints/fur keepsakes.

Daisy Hill Practice Ltd. is a small practice (no corporate group affiliation is mentioned in the available information). Based on both the listed capabilities and client comments, it appears set up for routine care plus urgent “fit-in” appointments when needed: one reviewer describes arriving without notice for a cat’s infection and being seen between appointments for diagnosis and treatment. Routine neutering is specifically mentioned (kittens being neutered), including handling a very frightened kitten during the visit. Feedback is mixed on front-desk communication: one recent reviewer describes an uncomfortable phone call when asking about registering, spaying a cat, and booking a puppy health check; other reviews praise both the vet and receptionist during in-clinic visits.

Peter Fenton Equine Vets Ltd is an equine-only veterinary practice that operates via visits (owners note you call and a vet comes out, rather than bringing a horse into a small-animal clinic). The structured clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Based on the latest reviews available, owners most often describe routine and ongoing horse care—especially dental work—alongside responsive support for urgent situations. Specific examples mentioned include vets coming out to do dentals and being “on time and prepared with everything they needed,” and one owner reporting that in an emergency they were “usually there within the hour.” One negative review describes an appointment for dental work being cancelled around 90 minutes beforehand due to a same-day prepayment protocol the owner says they weren’t told about, followed by difficulty getting calls returned and an unsympathetic response from the head of the practice.

Companion Care (Bolton) Ltd describes itself as a locally owned veterinary practice, based inside a Pets at Home store. From the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for small-animal care with in-house diagnostics (lab work, X‑ray, blood pressure monitoring) and facilities for procedures and inpatient care (operating theatre, hospital ward, isolation). Recent reviews are mixed but detailed: several owners describe serious-cat illness support (including a cat “days from dying from FIP”) with clear explanations of what needed to happen, while others report concerns about repeat appointments they felt were unnecessary, and one account of an anxious dog consultation where the owner felt the vet didn’t examine properly and moved quickly to sedation/steroids. Owners also mention practical elements such as booster reminders and an efficient flea/worm prescription service. Concrete specifics mentioned: - Out-of-hours emergency care is arranged through Pet Medics and Vets Now (as stated on the website). - Surgery cases appear in reviews (e.g., spay with owners describing being talked through the process). - Reviews mention treatment for abscesses (anal gland abscess requiring antibiotics/drainage; a hamster mouth abscess). - Multiple reviews name Nancy as a key clinician for sick-cat care and communication.

Anrich Vets (Pet Healthcare Centers Ltd) is part of the Northwest Referrals family and provides routine veterinary care for dogs, cats, and small animals. The website emphasises preventative health and early intervention, with core services including health checks, vaccinations, neutering, and dentistry. Clinic information also lists the practice as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. Access information on the site notes wheelchair accessibility with wide doors.

Trafford Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent practice and an approved veterinary nurse training practice (TP). The website highlights on-site diagnostic facilities (including an in-house lab with routine blood results in 20–30 minutes, plus X‑ray, ultrasound, and a dental X‑ray suite) and a setup designed to reduce stress with separate cat and dog waiting areas and wards. For emergencies, the practice states that 24‑hour emergency cover is provided by Cheadle A&E Vets. In the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention vets who listen and tailor advice, including offering “advice and alternatives” rather than a single fixed plan, and being calm and friendly with nervous dogs. A few reviewers also comment on value/good pricing, though no specific prices are stated.
