Vets Now Preston is part of the Vets Now network (60+ UK locations) focused on pet emergency care, with options for in-clinic emergency treatment and video consultations. Based on the website and recent reviews, it appears set up for urgent, high-acuity cases (for example, oxygen treatment overnight and arranging advanced imaging/surgery elsewhere when needed). Owners repeatedly mention clear explanations of options during emergencies (including real-time updates during a difficult labour) and transparency about costs, alongside some reports of long waits with little or no communication after triage.

Shuttleworth Veterinary Group
Rossendale
Our Score (80/100)
Shuttleworth Veterinary Group is a training facility for veterinary nurses (as listed in the clinic data). Recent reviews describe the practice handling longer-term medical management (one owner mentions “lots of visits” for a chronic condition) and procedures under general anaesthetic, including peri-operative communication such as photo updates sent via WhatsApp during the stay. Experiences in the latest reviews are mostly positive, but there is also a detailed 1‑star account describing a very different experience: being presented with an MRI (£8,000) or euthanasia as the only options for a dog’s foot injury, plus concerns about communication and approach.
