When might it be considered a pet emergency?

At your independent veterinary practice, Milton Keynes Veterinary Group, we deal with a varied workload and different presenting cases. These can include life threatening emergencies.

If you feel your pet is displaying signs of an emergency, please contact one of our branches immediately to speak with our Client Care team. Quick reactions will enable us to start your pet on the care they need at the earliest opportunity.

This list is not exclusive and there are lots more emergencies that can occur – if you are concerned about any signs your pet is showing, please contact us immediately on 01908 397777.
