Emergencies Out Of Hours
Even though our surgeries are now closed we still have emergency cover
Opening hours
We are open Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 6.30 pm (except on Bank Holidays) and on Saturdays at the Oldbury surgery from 8.30 am to 1.30 pm.
Non-urgent enquiries
For normal enquiries please phone us between these times.
Urgent enquiries
If you have an urgent problem that cannot wait until we open again, you can get free 24/7 advice from one of our Vidivet partner vets. If you do not already have their app, click the link below for the surgery you normally attend. It will take a few minutes to download the app and contact the vet.
Note that Vidivet is a permanent benefit for members of Pal For Life but the above links will give you temporary access to help you with an urgent problem.
Life-or-death emergencies
If the problem is so serious that it will not wait a few minutes, you should immediately contact the Vets Now emergency clinic at Longbridge in Birmingham or at Wolverhampton.
Please remember that out of hours fees are higher than normal fees and you should expect to pay between £300 and £900 or more, depending on the problem. Pal For Life members may be able claim some of these fees back.
