Why is my pet being referred?

Why is my pet being referred?

Veterinary surgeons may refer pets when the complexity of the disease or required level of treatment is outside their level of expertise and it is in the best interest of your pet to be referred to a Specialist.

What is a Specialist?

What is a Specialist?

A Specialist is a veterinary surgeon who has undertaken extensive additional training and qualifications to become an expert in their field and continues to keep up to date with the latest procedures to maintain their Specialist status.

Your vet will advise referral and probably offer to make the appointment on your behalf. Your vet is likely to give you all the information you require but one of our team of receptionists will contact you to ensure this and answer any of your questions. Please don’t let your pet eat solid food on the morning of the appointment however they can drink water right up to the time of the appointment.

They will then answer any questions to make sure you understand the treatment plan and are happy to proceed before completing the paperwork.

Your pet should have access to water but do not feed your pet on the morning prior to the appointment.
