Find the nearest emergency vet in Chelmsford

If your pet needs help now: phone your own vet first. Even when the practice is closed, its phone line or answerphone gives the number to call. Then phone the emergency clinic before you set off, so they can get ready.

If your pet has collapsed, is struggling to breathe, is bleeding heavily, may have eaten something poisonous or is in a lot of pain, go now.
