Vet Referrals

Our experienced team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians provides many services at our clinic, ranging from routine to advanced procedures. Although we handle the majority of your dog/cat’s medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer them to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.

Why do you make referrals?

We make referral decisions because we want to ensure that our patients receive the highest standard of care and the best possible outcome. Be assured that when we refer a patient to another hospital or specialist we continue to stay involved with his or her care, consulting with the treating specialist and often providing any needed follow-up care and rehabilitation. If you have questions about our referral process, please contact us at 613-748-9820.

What types of specialists are available for referrals?

We can refer your dog or cat to board-certified specialists, such as orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, neurologists, and behaviourists with extensive experience and training in a particular veterinary medicine or surgery area. Specialty clinics and university-affiliated referral centers have specialized equipment to perform procedures that are not routinely performed by general veterinary practitioners.
