Referrals within VetCare
At VetCare we are very fortunate to have seven veterinarians on our staff with different areas of interests. This gives us the benefit of a collaborative approach within the practice if an unusual case arrives.
By utilising wisdom and experience together with innovative new diagnostic and treatment options, we can provide comprehensive assessments from within the practice.
Referrals to VetCare
Through ongoing investments in continuing education, modernising our equipment and many years of experience in companion animal practice, VetCare is able to accept referral cases for both oncology, Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome and orthopaedics, and accepts selected referrals of difficult cases from other practices.
We emphasise that we do not have Veterinary Specialists on our staff. If owners are willing and able to travel to specialist practices in Hamilton, Auckland or to Massey University teaching hospital we will always encourage this.
If you would like more information on these services please contact us.
Referrals to Specialists
If we are unable to provide the diagnostic tests or treatment your pet requires, we are always able to offer referral to a Veterinary Specialist. In Auckland, there is a 24h Veterinary Hospital, with specialists in veterinary medicine, surgery, imaging, ophthalmology and dermatology. Hamilton has surgical specialists, and a treatment for hyperthyroid cats. And there are many services available at Massey University Veterinary Hospital in Palmerston North. Please contact us to discuss your options further.
