As of October 2025, we have joined forces with 2 local independent practices namely Scott Mitchell Veterinary Care in Hexham & Jim McLellan & Assoc Vets in Prudhoe to provide 24hr emergency cover for all small animal patients in our area.
This service will be staffed by vets from all 3 practices to allow us to share out the on call provision whilst still allowing your vets some time off after on call and also to provide 24hr on site nursing care for your patients. This change keeps your pet’s care & welfare provided by your own vets in a rota system with 2 other local independent practices.
All of our emergency small animal consultations will be directed to Scott Mitchell Veterinary Centre in Tyne Green Hexham where 24 hour nursing staff will triage your call and have a vet ready to see your animal for whatever emergency arrives.
We appreciate this may involve a slightly further distance to travel for our clients rather than to our Alston site, but we feel this is a better service we can provide to our clients without vets & nurses getting fatigued with extra on call nights etc.
All emergency calls to our practice will be automatically diverted through to Scott Mitchell Veterinary Care Centre in Hexham and your call will be dealt with appropriately.
Prices for certain operations out with routine procedures vary on size, time, patient and severity. We always keep clients informed of costs of all treatments throughout the procedure.
