Emergency Services

At Riverside, we are proud to provide our own emergency service, run at our practice premises and, for our larger patients, in the field.

This is provided around the clock each and every day of the year.

When an emergency arises, we understand that getting veterinary attention, and as quickly as possible, is of the utmost importance.  Detailed below is the simple instructions for using our out of hours service. Although straight forward, we would always recommend having a read prior to an emergency situation.
