A new out-of-hours emergency pet clinic has opened in Bridgwater. The Vets Now Bridgwater clinic began operating on Monday 19 October at Blake Vets on Showground Road. It provides overnight and weekend care for pets in Bridgwater, Taunton and the wider central Somerset area, operating from 6pm to 8.30am on weekdays and from midday on Saturdays through to 8.30am on Mondays.
The clinic is staffed by three vets, four veterinary nurses and a receptionist, and has created eight new jobs in the area. It will initially support ten local daytime veterinary practices through the night and at weekends when they are closed.
Nigel Davey, head nurse at Vets Now Bridgwater, said: 'Pet emergencies can happen at any time, including when your regular vet is closed, and getting the right care quickly can make a huge difference.' He described the clinic as 'a bit like the pet equivalent of A&E'. The clinic treats a wide range of common pet emergencies, from road traffic accidents and sudden illness to severe sickness, diarrhoea, breathing difficulties, injuries and accidental ingestions and poisonings. This is Vets Now's 61st out-of-hours emergency clinic.
