This page combines Paws of London venue records with information published on venue websites and, where available, supplied by venues or contributed by visitors. Where a dog policy is shown as not yet confirmed, we have not checked it with the venue: call ahead before travelling.

The practice has air-conditioned consulting and waiting areas, digital X-ray and ultrasound, and separate cat and dog wards for recovery after procedures.

• Veteris Shoreditch 24 Hour Animal Hospital & Urgent Care – 51 Hoxton Square, London N1 6PB, UK (4.6/5)

  Veteris is a mobile emergency veterinary service rather than a clinic with a waiting room. Its website describes it as a practice dedicated to pet emergencies, bringing care to the pet's doorstep around the clock across Greater London. Paws of London lists it at 51 Hoxton Square. A call starts with a phone triage team of registered veterinary nurses, who assess the pet from a distance and decide with the owner what to do. Emergencies the site names include difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, seizures and severe trauma. Its vets can diagnose and stabilise critical cases at home using an emergency kit. The service also offers in-home euthanasia, so a pet does not have to travel to a practice. Veteris is not a day-to-day practice. It leaves routine care, such as chipping, nail trimming, ear cleaning and follow-up on chronic conditions, to a local vet, and works in connection with the owner's regular veterinarian.

The practice offers vaccinations, flea, tick and worming treatments, neutering and microchipping. Its page also lists dental facilities and Animal Health Certificates for EU pet travel. Consultations run for 15 minutes, which the practice says gives owners time to ask the vets any question about a pet's health and lifestyle. The practice has its own practice dog, Romeo. Anyone with questions about parking is asked to call the practice to discuss options. For dog owners, Paws of London records step-free access and staff who welcome dogs. Romeo, the practice dog, is described as being in the clinic most days and as greeting visitors.
