What to Do If Your Pet Needs Out of Hours Emergency Care

If you need emergency care for your pet, it is important that you telephone in advance if possible. This is so we can make the necessary arrangements for your arrival and enables us to arrange for your pet to be seen straight away, and if required, provide you with the necessary advice or treatment.

Emergency care will be provided by Park Vet Group, 162 Dominion Road, Glenfield, Leicestershire, LE3 8JA

When you call you will be provided with free advice over the phone. You will be asked any relevant questions to initially assess whether you need to take your pet to the surgery for immediate treatment or if there is anything you can do until normal practice hours resume.

Even If you are in doubt whether your pet is unwell or it is an emergency, please do not hesitate to still contact us out of hours. We will be able to help you decide if your pet needs to be seen or if we think it is safe for your pet to wait until the morning when our normal practice is open again.

Plan For an Emergency

• Would you need help to get there or assistance with your pet?
• Who could you ask, if needed?
