At Orchard House our service is personal. We pride ourselves on that. If you need us in an emergency, you will see our own vets in our own surgery, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
24 Hour Emergency Service Helpline…
Here’s what happens next…
- Your call will be answered by a dedicated Orchard House emergency answering service.
- The telephonist will record your contact details and the nature of the problem.
- This information will be passed on to the duty vet.
- The vet will contact you directly as soon as is possible either to give advice or to arrange to see the patient, when necessary.
- Emergencies are usually dealt with at one of our clinics where the full range of diagnostic and treatment options is available.
