Vets Now Telford in short
Vets Now Telford is a dedicated out-of-hours clinic inside Gladstone Vets at the Hadley Centre, and this review finds that single-purpose setup its whole point. It takes nights, weekends and bank holidays for dogs, cats and small animals, with triage on arrival and case notes passed back to your daytime vet. Parking and disabled access sit on the same page.
Customer reviews are more mixed than for the daytime practices, with 4.1 on Google from 228 reviews, the only review source on record. The RCVS register lists the clinic as a Small Animal Emergency Service Clinic, exactly matching what it does. Against it, the site publishes no overnight consultation fee, which this review counts as its main weakness when owners compare at midnight.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Vets Now Telford suits you when your pet needs urgent care at night or at the weekend and your daytime practice is shut [1]. Its RCVS emergency accreditation and 2005 opening date mark it out as a dedicated service [3] [1]. Against it: no overnight fee is published, and the Google score is 4.1 out of 5 from 228 reviews [1] [4].

Questions about Vets Now Telford
Is Vets Now Telford any good?
On the evidence, yes when your pet needs urgent care at night or at the weekend and your daytime practice is shut: it is the only dedicated emergency clinic in our September round [1]. Its Google score is lower than the daytime practices, so read the reviews with that night-time caseload in mind. Phone first so the team expects you.
Is Vets Now Telford RCVS registered?
Yes. The RCVS register lists it as a Small Animal Emergency Service Clinic, and the clinic site repeats the accreditation with its facilities spelled out [3] [1]. That is the entry to check against the Hadley Centre address. Confirm the listing yourself on Find a Vet before you ever need the night door.
What does Vets Now Telford charge?
The site publishes a £28 video consult fee but no out-of-hours consultation fee, so the likely bill is not visible before you call [1]. Night fees run well above daytime ones across this round. Phone for triage first and ask for the fee position before you set out.
Where does Vets Now Telford work?
The clinic sits inside Gladstone Vets at the Hadley Centre, covering nights, weekends and bank holidays for dogs, cats and small animals, with directions from the A5 and M54 on its page [1]. Triage notes pass back to your daytime vet afterwards. Keep the overnight number with your pet carrier.
How is Vets Now Telford ranked?
It ranks ninth of the nine emergency vets in our September round, the pick for overnight and weekend pet emergencies in Hadley. Customer evidence counts most toward the score, which is why thin pricing and a lower review score hold it back. Read the full review, then phone for triage first.
