If you have an emergency outside practice hours you will be transferred to our emergency out of hours provider EVEs, based next to St David’s train station in Exeter (EX4 4NT) who will be able to help.
EVEs is essentially an animal accident and emergency unit. There is a vet and nurse in the building overnight who are ready to go at all times. Although we appreciate that it may be further to drive to the emergency centre, we feel that the time taken to drive to EVEs is shorter or equivalent to the time it would take to get a vet and nurse to the practice and set up to deal with an emergency.
We are also partnered with South Devon Veterinary Hospital in Abbotskerswell. Any inpatients that have had a procedure or care from us during the day and need nurse monitoring or supervision overnight, will be transferred to South Devon Vets. A new emergency or case during out of hours will need to however contact EVEs as mentioned above.
