Future Changes to Mercer & Hughes Weekend Opening Hours

To all our wonderful clients, upon review of our weekend service offering, we have decided to change our weekend opening hours across our Mercer and Hughes practices.

This will be made to ensure that we can offer enhanced inpatient care and enhance our service offering over the weekend.

With effect from Saturday 5th April 2024, we will no longer be offering appointments on Saturdays at our Great Dunmow, Bocking & Stansted practices.

We will continue to offer appointments and a wider range of services at our Saffron Walden practice.

On Sundays, we will no longer be offering appointments at Saffron Walden. Instead, our vets and nurses will concentrate on caring for hospitalised patients on Sundays.

If you have a pre booked appointment in one of our branches on a Saturday or on a Sunday, one of our colleagues will shortly be reaching out to rearrange and we apologise for any disruption.

Please rest assured that our team remain fully committed to the care of your pets.

In the event of an emergency outside of our standard opening times, you can continue to call any of our practices where you will be directed to our out of hours provider, Vets Now, or call them direct on 01376 530 759.

We also have a full 24 hour service in our sister practice in Swayne and Partners, Bury St Edmunds. They can be reached on 01284701444, the clinic address is Western Way, Bury Saint Edmunds, IP33 3SP. The team in Swayne and Partners Bury will have access to your clinical history, we recommend calling Bury outside of our opening hours, particularly if your pet has an ongoing illness.

In An Emergency

If your pet has an emergency during our normal opening hours, please call the practice and we will advise you what to do next.

We have partnered with Vets Now in Witham for our out-of-hours care. Vets Now is the pet equivalent of an accident and emergency service, dedicated to providing pets with access to a vet out of hours.

It’s all they do. You can still call any of our numbers and you will be given directions on how to call them, or you can call them directly on 01376 530759.
Based at Witham, their vets and vet nurses are specially trained to deal with pet emergencies.

Because they don’t work during the day, they’ll be up and ready to see your pet at the time you need them.

In an out of hours emergency please call Vets Now on
