Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a QVS veterinary specialist?
If your regular veterinarian has recommended that your pet see one of our specialists, please ask for a referral and then contact our team to arrange an appointment. We need a referral for specialist appointments, just like a human specialist.
In some cases, pets initially treated by our Pet Emergency team may need to be referred internally to a QVS specialist. If specialist care is recommended, our team will discuss this with you.
