Within normal hours Emergency Treatment

If your pet has a problem during our normal surgery hours, please telephone the practice immediately and we will ensure that you are offered an appointment on a priority basis. Please make it clear to us that the matter is not routine and we will do our best to attend to you as soon as possible.

Out of Hours Emergency Treatment 

Outside of our normal opening times we have a designated emergency service that can be contacted on: 01604 635835.

Staverton Veterinary Surgery uses Vets Now Emergency Vets. Our nearest clinics are:

Vets Now Northampton, Gate 3, The Holcot Centre Moulton College, Pitsford Road, Moulton, Northampton NN3 7SS​

We know your pet can become ill or suffer accidents at any time. To make sure you have access to high quality care at night, weekends and bank holidays, we have chosen to partner with Vets Now, the leading provider of Out of Hours care.

The team at Vets Now are always there when we are closed, so you can rest assured that you and your pet will have a vet and nurse on hand, whether it's four in the morning or half-way through Christmas. On calling Vets Now, you’ll speak with one of their dedicated call handlers who’ll provide you with all of the information you require should you wish for your pet to see the veterinary team based in your local clinic. They’ll then inform the clinic of your arrival and promptly send you a text message with confirmation and directions for your visit. Please don't hesitate to call them if you are at all concerned.

Vets Now take over from us when we close in the evenings and at the weekends from Saturday lunchtime onwards. If you call us first, we will either be there to answer your call, or will have an answer machine message with Vets Now's details for you.

Both Veterinary and Human Medical fields are increasingly using dedicated emergency services. This brings many advantages to our clients:

Emergency centres have staff (vets and nurses) on site around the clock. This means that you will be seen as soon as you arrive by staff who are well rested and ready for work no matter what the time.

Because the staff are awake you can call at whatever time you need to without embarrassment. Emergency centres stay staffed and well lit throughout the night, making them safe and easily accessible.

In the unfortunate event that your pet needs to be seen at Vets Now they will carry out emergency treatment. On the next working day we will be sent all of the details of any treatment your pet required and if possible your pet will be transferred back to us for ongoing care. It is best if you are able to transfer your pet so that you have a chance to speak to both the emergency vet and us directly about ongoing treatment or further tests that may be required. Pets will only be discharged if they are deemed safe to travel.

What if I don't have transport to get to Vets Now Northampton?

We know that transport to the vets can be difficult especially if you need care out of hours. Animals at Home is a local service that provides a DEFRA licensed pet taxi that is available to transport your pet 24 hours a day. Their contact number is 07941 058548.

Alternatively, some standard taxi services will transport pets, please contact the practice for details and contact numbers so you can be prepared in an emergency situation.
