Their vets can help if you’re worried your pet is ill or has had a minor accident. They can offer advice, treatment recommendations, a referral to your local practice or just reassurance.

“Dr Emma was amazing”

Her advice and support for my concerns about my ragdoll were second to none. If I had the money, I would hire her full time to be on call.

The post consultation email was extremely handy. Thank you to ManyPets for having this service as part of my insurance.
