Emergency veterinary care in Somerset

Important Notice - August 2025

Our Alexandra and Hillyfields Vets practices will be closing soon as part of an exciting merge and rebrand. While our name changes, our dedication to providing the best care for you and your pets remains the same. Read more here for Alexandra Vets and Hillyfields Vets.

We would like to thank all of our clients for your continued support.

Realising your much loved pet is seriously ill or has just had a severe accident is obviously very worrying. In these distressing situations, we are here to provide the best possible care and attention as quickly as possible.

If your pet has an emergency during our normal opening hours, please call the practice and we will advise you what to do next.
