Referral Services

Our sister centre at Dursley offers a referral service.

Cats, dogs, rabbits and more unusual pets, such as snakes and iguanas, are referred to Vale Referrals from all over the South West, Wales and the Midlands with a variety of problems ranging from heart conditions or vomiting and diarrhoea to skin complaints and eye problems.

It becomes increasingly difficult for vets to be experts in all conditions in all species which is why many other vet practices choose to refer clients to us to get the best possible treatment for their client's pets. Just as a GP will refer you to a consultant for more complicated complaints, your vet can refer you to a specialised referral practice where there is a vet who has a recognised expertise in the relevant area.

We have, in house, some of the most highly qualified vets in the country, offering expertise in:

• Cardiology
• Dermatology
• Exotics
• Internal Medicine
• Neurology and MRI Scanning
• Oncology (Surgical & Medical)
• Ophthalmology
• Soft Tissue Surgery including ENT

As a referral practice, we also have sophisticated diagnostic equipment, such an ultra-sound scanner, and endoscope, together with the expertise required to use it. This can save you expensive bills and trauma to your pet, as we are able to diagnose a huge range of conditions such as lumps and tumours, which most small practices would have to operate to investigate.
