ABOUT US
We are a type-1 APHA Critical Patient Ambulance Service.
Operated by two qualified Registered Veterinary Nurses, the first of it's kind in the UK.
Founded in 2024, by Ellie and Sarah, both registered veterinary nurses, we are driven by a genuine desire to help those in need. Ellie and Sarah both recognized that this service has been absent from the industry for years and is essential for ensuring the continuation of life-saving treatment.
Our ambulance is specially equipped to ensure our team can safely transport animals in need of urgent medical care to a hospital or specialist referral.
As registered veterinary nurses, we possess the expertise to provide critical medical assistance during transport.
Understanding the urgency of emergencies, we are dedicated to ensuring that your pet receives prompt and efficient care of the highest standard.
