About Us

The History

Vets and nurses can often be stretched with a high workload during the day and are then required to answer calls and attend practice through the night. We've questioned if this is the best approach to providing an out-of-hours service, especially when considering the quality of patient care and the clinician's wellbeing.

This led to us joining forces with other local practices to set up Highland Vet Emergencies.

As part of our commitment to offering clinical excellence and ensuring that your pet receives the best possible care at all times, the team at Highland Vet Emergencies has been formed of vets and nurses from local practices, as well as a small team of dedicated out-of-hours clinicians, to ensure a vet and nurse can be with your pet at all times.

Pet Blood Bank

We are thrilled to announce, in a first for the Highlands, Highland Vet Emergencies/Referrals is now a stockist of Pet Blood Bank (PBB) blood products. We are proud to partner with PBB and we are supportive of the work they do. This means, for your pets in the Highlands and Grampian region, access to life-saving transfusions at any time of the day or night.

If you are a veterinary professional, please call 01463 211 020 for further information. We are able dispense blood products (packed red cells or plasma) for you to collect, to administer to your own patient. Alternatively, we can organise referral to our clinic where patients can benefit from our new fully equipped medicine service and our experienced emergency team providing vet and nurse cover onsite overnight.

Thank you for your continued support, as we make progress towards our goal of world class veterinary care delivered locally.
