If your pet has an emergency during our normal opening hours, please call the normal practice number 01258 472293. If your pet requires emergency treatment you will normally be asked to visit our surgery. Most conditions can be treated more efficiently at the surgery where there is a full range of medication and equipment available.
If you have an emergency out of normal opening hours, at night, at the weekend or on a bank holiday, please contact our normal practice number 01258 472293 to be best directed to our partners Vets Now. Alternatively you can call Vets Now directly on 01202 859933 (Wimborne) or 01722 238079 (Salisbury).
