Who Are CVets?

Cornwall Veterinary Emergency Treatment Service (CVets) provides out of hours emergency cover for small animal patients when your normal daytime veterinary service is closed.

It was formed in 2007 by a group of local veterinary surgeons with an aim to provide a true overnight emergency clinic for their patients.

We now cover for a number of practices in Mid and West Cornwall and we are located on the A390 approx half mile from the Chiverton cross roundabout. We are approximately 25 minutes from Penzance in the West and the same time away from Bodmin in the East.

Why CVets? 

CVets is a purpose-built veterinary practice with excellent facilities to provide the treatment your animals may need in an emergency. It operates as an emergency specific clinic at nights, weekends and Bank Holidays.

An experienced veterinary surgeon and qualified veterinary nurse are always on site to provide treatment for your pet and monitoring through the night and weekends should it be needed.

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons require that all veterinary practices must provide 24 hours a day cover for their clients.

CVets aims to provide the same level of care you receive from your daytime practice and to continue that during the night. This kind of care is unachievable in a small veterinary practice where staff cannot be with your pet 24 hours a day without potentially compromising their work.

In using CVets your local practice feels that they are offering the best possible treatment for you and your pet day and night.

CVets works closely with your own veterinary practice to try to maintain continuity between your daytime surgery and ourselves.
