Emergency Vets in Norfolk

Medivet Catton is part of the Medivet group, and is managed by partner and veterinary surgeon Hanneke Kruger. The practice offers 15‑minute consultations and has on-site diagnostic facilities (including an in-house laboratory, X‑rays and ultrasound), suggesting it’s set up for routine care as well as investigations when pets need tests or imaging. Owners also describe practical, hands-on handling for nervous animals (using treats, extra nurse support, and patience), and good communication during procedures (being kept up to date throughout).

Westover Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent, vet-owned small animal hospital providing care since 1896. Based on its own service list and recent owner accounts, it appears set up for both routine work and more involved cases: the website mentions advanced diagnostics, complex surgeries, and 24-hour inpatient support, and reviews reference cat spays and a dog paw injury that required stitches after an emergency appointment. Recent reviewers also mention consults that didn’t feel rushed (one first-time cat visit) and that the team “sorted out” treatment and dispensed medication. One negative review raises a specific concern about an emergency euthanasia visit, where a pain-relief injection left the cat unresponsive before the owners could say goodbye.

Terrington Veterinary Centre provides general veterinary care for a range of pets (including cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets and hamsters), with on-site capabilities mentioned for diagnostics and hospitalisation, plus emergency care and “out of hours revisits.” The clinic also lists repeat prescriptions and pet nutrition support, and it promotes proactive healthcare plans via Pet Health Club® (no plan pricing/details provided in the available info). From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: being seen at short notice for urgent problems, clear explanations that include evidence for diagnoses/treatment plans, and supportive handling of difficult end-of-life decisions. One review describes a life-saving diagnosis of pyometra made when “within hours of it being too late.”

Medivet Horsford / All Creatures Healthcare is part of the Medivet group. The information available points to a clinic that handles a mix of routine care (vaccinations and health checks) and more complex or urgent cases, including surgery and out‑of‑hours emergencies. Recent reviews repeatedly describe the team making practical adjustments for nervous pets (including vaccinating a large anxious dog in the owner’s vehicle) and providing a lot of time and support during euthanasia appointments. There are also examples of non-traditional pets being treated, including a lizard and hens (one with peritonitis where fluid was drained and the treatment explained).

Summerhill Veterinary Centre is described by reviewers as a practice that can accommodate urgent and out‑of‑hours cases, including overnight monitoring and updates. It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Concrete examples mentioned by owners include: - Same‑day appointment arranged via reception for a dog with a sore eye, followed by a thorough eye examination and anti‑inflammatory medication. - Out‑of‑hours care with a dog being treated and monitored, with owners allowed to visit and receiving phone calls through the night. - A cat undergoing a major operation, with the team explaining the process and keeping owners updated, and some owners noting continuity (seeing the same vet).

Eaton Veterinary Practice Ltd is a veterinary clinic that (from the information provided) also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility and offers emergency veterinary services (described as “24/7 or extended hours” in the clinic data). Reviews repeatedly describe a practice geared to day-to-day care plus urgent “no notice” visits—owners mention being fitted in quickly when pets get into scrapes, and appointments that run on time. Concrete details owners mention include: vets taking time to examine and investigate before discussing options and next steps; medication being straightforward to manage; and a clean, tidy practice environment. One review specifically mentions compassionate support during a pet euthanasia (PTS).

Bridge Veterinary Practice is an RCVS-accredited general practice established in 1986, with in-house diagnostics (lab work plus X-ray and ultrasound) and a broad “GP for exotics” scope alongside cats and dogs (species listed include reptiles, tortoises, ferrets, and multiple bird types). The website highlights procedures beyond routine consults—such as keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery and acupuncture—plus nurse clinics and home visits. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention being able to get seen at short notice, pets being put at ease in consults, and the team handling non‑standard cases (including wild animals brought in). One long-term client also notes prices “seem to have come down slightly” after an ownership change, while still warning that many treatments can be expensive.

Wensum Valley Veterinary Surgeons is an equine-focused (and farm-client) practice with a purpose-built clinic and stated 24/7 emergency availability. Recent reviews describe the team handling on-yard injuries and practical emergencies: stitching a large abdominal wound on an older horse (with later removal of dead skin), treating a damaged ligament over an extended period, and attending to sedate a horse that wouldn’t load so it could travel safely. Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of each stage of treatment and a focus on welfare over “tidy” or unnecessary work.

Oakwood Veterinary Group is a long-established practice (the website says it has cared for pets for over 100 years) with in-house lab facilities and “advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment.” Routine preventative care is a clear focus (vaccinations, microchipping, neutering, parasite treatments), and reviews also describe problem-solving appointments such as a dog’s broken dew claw being treated in-clinic. For emergencies, the website states out-of-hours care is provided via a partnership with Swayne & Partners, offering a 24-hour hospital with a night vet and RVN nursing team. Practical touches mentioned in reviews include combining multiple needs in one visit (dew claw treatment plus annual vaccination) and a vaginal swab being done free of charge.
