We’re always here for you
We are passionate about providing an out of hours service for our clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, as we believe this delivers the highest standard of care.
This used to be the standard of all veterinary care, but now many practices outsource out of hours care to a hospital facility that may be further away, with unfamiliar staff in an unfamiliar building.
This is more stressful for you and your pet during an emergency situation.
It will always be a familiar member of our team who answers your phone call and is on call to attend to your pet.


You can see the map below for areas serviced by each practice.
If you are visiting the area, please contact your regular vets and ask for your pet’s history to be sent to thurso@dsmcg.co.uk for our Thurso branch, or wick@dsmcg.co.uk for our Wick branch.
There is an additional cost to out of hours care as we have to provide for our team working longer hours.
Should you require us to visit you at your home, the price will range from £48.70 to £99.13, depending on the distance.
If you bring your pet to one of our practices, the following consult fees will apply. Please note that any further services you require from us will be charged separately – our team will always discuss your options with you so you can make an informed choice before we commit to any procedures.
Out of hours consult between 8pm and 10pm: £68.22
Out of hours consult on Sundays and bank holidays: £89.76
Out of hours consult between 10pm and 7am: £126.31
