Pets Referral Service
Sometimes we may need to refer pets to specialists for more complex cases. The referral process typically occurs when the pet’s condition exceeds the capabilities of the primary veterinarian.
Specialists are trained in specific areas of veterinary medicine, such as cardiology, oncology, neurology, and surgery. We will work with the specialists to provide the best possible care for your pet, and we will keep you informed throughout the process. Referrals can be a daunting process, but we are here to help and support you and your pet through this process.

Pet referral is an approach used by veterinarians to ensure that their patients receive the best possible care, even if it means that they need to refer them to a specialist. However, during the referral process, veterinarians have the responsibility to ensure that all safety standards are followed to minimize possible complications or health risks to the pet.
A referral should be considered when a pet has a health condition that requires specialized care, such as oncology, cardiology, or neurology.
A referral can benefit a pet's health by providing access to specialized care and treatments that can improve their condition and quality of life.
No, a referral does not mean that a primary care veterinarian cannot treat a pet. A referral provides additional support and expertise to help manage a pet's health.
Your primary care veterinarian can provide a referral to a specialist and help schedule an appointment for your pet.
