About Emergency Vets in Norwich
Emergency and out-of-hours veterinary services are crucial for pet owners seeking immediate care.
In Norwich, 10 clinics offer emergency or out-of-hours services, allowing pet owners to access urgent care when needed. Such clinics are essential for handling acute illnesses or injuries that require immediate attention. In contrast, clinics providing routine-only care focus on scheduled appointments and non-urgent treatments, such as vaccinations and regular check-ups. Pet owners should consider the availability of emergency services when choosing a clinic, especially if their pets have known health issues or are prone to emergencies.
There are 8 veterinary clinics listed for emergency vets in Norwich.

Westover Vets Ltd describes itself as an independent, vet-owned small animal hospital providing care since 1896. Based on its own service list and recent owner accounts, it appears set up for both routine work and more involved cases: the website mentions advanced diagnostics, complex surgeries, and 24-hour inpatient support, and reviews reference cat spays and a dog paw injury that required stitches after an emergency appointment. Recent reviewers also mention consults that didn’t feel rushed (one first-time cat visit) and that the team “sorted out” treatment and dispensed medication.

From the latest reviews, owners most often mention being able to get seen at short notice, pets being put at ease in consults, and the team handling non‑standard cases (including wild animals brought in). One long-term client also notes prices “seem to have come down slightly” after an ownership change, while still warning that many treatments can be expensive.

Chapelfield Veterinary Partnership is a long-established, five-branch practice (over 100 years, per its website) that offers routine appointments as well as faster-turnaround care when something is urgent (for example, one reviewer says their dog was seen immediately after an attack). Clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services and that it’s a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews frequently mention being seen quickly and that vets handle anxious cats gently, but there are also recurring concerns about cost transparency—particularly around medication pricing and itemised bills—and one report of serious admin/consent issues related to the Pet Health Club.
