24/7 care for your pet

As well as consultations by appointment 6 days a week, we work with Hart Veterinary Centre in Bicester, in partnership with Vets Now Milton Keynes, to ensure veterinary help is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In the event of an emergency, day or night, please call 01280 703451.

Please call in advance of arrival so staff can be ready to help.

Outside of normal working hours cases are assessed at Hart Veterinary Centre, Bicester, OX26 2XL (see map below). Like Croft Veterinary Centre, Hart Vets is accredited by the RCVS, has the latest technology for diagnosis and treatment of your pets, and have a great team of friendly, qualified and experienced vets and nurses. Hart Vets also has a dedicated team of night nurses meaning cases admitted out of hours benefit from the same continuous high standard of care as they would during the day.

Please note emergency cases seen outside of normal opening hours are seen at Hart Veterinary Centre, Bicester, OX26 2XL, and on some occasions Vets Now, Milton Keynes, MK7 7AN and will incur an out of hours fee in addition to examination and treatment costs.
