Emergencies & Home Visits
Veterinary Emergencies
If your pet needs urgent attention outside our normal opening hours, please contact one of the emergency providers below. They are fully equipped, experienced emergency clinics we work closely with to ensure continuity of care when we are closed.
If you are unsure whether your pet’s condition is an emergency, it is always best to call an emergency provider for advice.

During normal opening hours, please contact Buchanan Vets directly and we’ll be happy to help.
home visits
We understand that some situations make travelling to the practice difficult or distressing — particularly for elderly pets, end-of-life care, or owners with limited mobility.
While we may not always be able to offer home visits ourselves, we work with trusted independent providers who specialise in veterinary home visits.
