Went as an out of hours emergency, sadly we had to put my boy to sleep, but they were so kind and caring, I couldn't have asked for better care for my boy or for myself. Thank you.

Had to call psda Manchester to find an emergency vet for my boy Casper (17 y/o pomeranian cross chihuahua), this is where i took him, unfortunately he wasl too poorly to be saved and i had to make the decision to have him put to sleep, this was Tuesday 8/8/23 at about 2am. the vets were very caring, friendly, compassionate and proffesional. Gave me time with him and explained what they were doing while putting him to rest, before checking his heart and confirming he had passed, he went very quickly and peacefully, i am glad i asked for a sedative for him before hand, then we were able to spend a little time with him after before he was collected. I was comforted when i received his paw prints in a lovely card and a little of his fur with some forget me nott seeds! (I did request the paw prints and fur) My only shock was the cost of the traditional casket at £260!, but its a decision you have you have to make at that moment. My last little dog of the same breed, her casket was about £90 for the same little box. in peace baby boy. Thankyou to the staff who helped me and my lad.

My vets had suggested I take our pet cat whiskers to the emergency vets, we rang up and got told to come here as soon as we could and no appointment was needed. They kept us well informed with how whiskers was doing and unfortunately we had to put her down. They gave us plenty of time in the family room with her and let us know our options and what to do next. The vet that delt with us was very kind, understanding and helpful. I have just gotten home to a card from them aswell which is so thoughtful and means a lot to me and my daughter.

We had to take our cat for an emergency appointment and this place was suggested on our vet's website, since this place was open after hours, Sundays and Bank Holidays. We rang up and got told to come here as soon as we could, no appointment needed. The facilities were good. A really great idea in dividing the waiting areas for dogs and cats, so less disruption. The cat waiting area even offered blankets to cover baskets if we had a nervous cat, lovely touch. Unfortunately we had to have our cat put to sleep, but the vet that we had informed us of our options, respectful to us and our cat, and the process. He really helped us through it all and what to do next. The reception staff were all friendly, attentive and helpful.

We had to visit MiNightVet yesterday as our elderly dog had taken a turn for the worse. We unfortunately made the decision to euthanise our boy but the vet who saw us, Georgie, was incredibly kind, patient, compassionate and took the time to not only explain things to four very distressed people but gave us all the time we needed to deal with the situation in front of us. The veterinary nurses and reception staff were also very compassionate. Thank you for making a very difficult evening that little bit easier for us.

My puppy was hit in his eye area during play. I called this place for an emergency appointment because they were listed as my regular vet's preferred partner for emergencies. In 5 minutes I was registered and given directions. When I arrived, the receptionist was attentive and was clearly expecting me. I didn't have to wait longer than 10 minutes before I was seen by Angelika and her team, who were very welcoming and attentive. Judging by my puppy's reaction he clearly took a liking to her! It was a pleasant surprise that I was charged significantly less than the amount that was quoted on the phone, but that might be because I went during day hours.
