Vets Now is a veterinary services company based in Dunfermline, Scotland, United Kingdom, employing between 501 and 1,000 people. It provides emergency and critical care for pets outside regular veterinary hours, functioning as an out-of-hours service for pet owners and as an extension of daytime practice for affiliated clinics. The company was founded in 2001 by veterinary surgeon Richard Dixon to address the stress of on-call duties and to establish a dedicated after-hours emergency service, assembling a full-time team specialized in emergency and critical care. Vets Now operates out-of-hours clinics across the country and maintains pet emergency hospitals in Glasgow, Swindon and Manchester, along with a referral service and training/CPD events such as ECC Congress. Recent developments include partnerships with other practices and organizational changes, and in March 2026 reports indicate office closures in Swindon and broader Europe regions as part of being part of IVC Evidensia.
