Animal Ambulance Service

At Whiskers 'n' Beans, we are dedicated to providing a critical patient ambulance service.
Our registered veterinary nurses are trained to handle emergencies efficiently.

Our ambulance is fully equipped and purpose-built for the safe and secure transportation of veterinary patients.

We understand that your pets are family, and we treat them with the utmost care.

We offer transfers from all London Veterinary practices between hospitals or referral centres, such as:

The Royal Veterinary College
The Ralph
Southfields Veterinary Specialists
North Downs Specialist Referrals

Please note, we do not offer owner transportation.

We act as a patient transferring agent only.

Experienced Veterinary Team

Our team consists of experienced registered veterinary nurses ready to assist your pets.

Our qualifications enable us to travel independently, without the presence of a veterinary surgeon.

We consult with the referring veterinary surgeon regarding plans and emergencies, enabling us to adhere to their treatment protocols until the intended referral destination is reached.

We can then administer life-saving medications during transit, if required.

Whenever possible, we also use our onboard navigation system to communicate with the referral destination, enabling them to track our location and receive patient updates.

24/7 Emergency Service

We are available around the clock to respond to animal emergencies.

Due to the nature and demand for our service, we cannot guarantee availability at time of calling.

Please bear this in mind when seeking transfer.
