Medivet - 24 Hour Dartford is part of the Medivet group and is set up for both routine appointments and round-the-clock emergencies, including intensive care.

Companion Care (Crayford) Ltd operates under the Companion Care brand and is set up as a fairly well-equipped general practice, with an in-house lab and imaging (including ultrasound and digital X-ray) plus an operating theatre and hospital ward facilities. Out-of-hours emergency care is provided by Vets Now. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - Same-day urgent help (one cat was seen immediately after ingesting a potentially toxic supplement, without an appointment). - Surgical and post-op follow-up care (a dog with a severe leg injury was stabilised, then had surgery a couple of hours later, followed by regular check-ups during recovery). - End-of-life support (owners mention being given time to say goodbye, and one review notes a sympathy card and wildflower seeds after a pet’s death). There are also a small number of reviews describing the opposite experience—complaints about lack of empathy and poor customer service/complaint handling, including an allegation of a receptionist being rude and repeated hang-ups.
