We know how important pets are for the family and always do our best to provide high-quality treatment to every single animal.

No matter what the issue is, give us a call and we would be happy to help. We can provide the emergency vet services you need if your pet is injured or suddenly falls ill. We provide our 24-hour vet services across Dalkeith, Edinburgh, Musselburgh and the surrounding areas.

24-HOUR EMERGENCY VETS

At Market Cross Veterinary Clinic, we understand that pets can suffer accidents or fall ill at any time. We have chosen to partner with Vets Now, the leading provider of out-of-hours care, to ensure that you always have access to the highest quality care and the best emergency vets at any given time - whether it’s in the middle of the night, on the weekend or during a bank holiday.

The team at Vets Now are always there when we are closed, so you can rest assured that you and your pet will have a vet and nurse team on hand, whether it's four in the morning or half-way through Christmas. Their fully qualified staff will provide free advice over the phone and advise whether you need to take your pet into their clinic for immediate treatment. Please don’t hesitate to call them if you’re at all concerned.

By using Vets Now to cover our Out of Hours Emergencies it enables our vets and nurse to get a good night’s rest at nights and weekends so we can continue providing the high quality care during the day that we pride ourselves on.

CONTACT OUR VETERINARY CLINIC

Vets Now take over from us when we close in the evenings and on Sundays. You can always call us first as we will either be there to answer your call, or will have an answer machine message with Vets Now’s details for you. Vets Now can give you advice over the phone and arrange immediate appointments to see them if it is required.

Please be aware that because of the nature of Out of Hours emergencies, a night-time or weekend appointment will be more expensive than seeing a vet during usual hours. Vets Now will discuss this with you at the time of appointment and before commencing any treatment. Please consider pet insurance to give you peace of mind that your pet will be able to receive the best possible care 24 hours a day.

Emergency Guides

"Exceptional care of both pets and their humans. Sadly we lost our lovely boy Flint to a disease that was always going to take him too soon. Rebecca has been wonderful and so thorough in taking care of her 'buddy'. He liked a kiss from her on his visits and although going to the vets wasn't a thing he was ever keen on, everyone made us welcome. Market Cross have been our vets for some time. We moved away and changed practice but were soon back when we discovered the care from Market Cross couldn't be matched. Thank you for the care you gave our boy, he was in the safest hands."
