Information For Pet Owners Geelong Veterinary Specialist Services

At our Geelong animal referral hospital, we provide veterinary specialist services designed to give your pet the highest level of care. Working closely with you and your local family vet, our team ensures the best possible treatment for your beloved companion.

To have your pet treated by our specialist team you need a referral from your regular veterinarian. Referrals are required for a few reasons; firstly, they ensure a smooth medical handover,  by allowing the specialist access to your pet’s complete medical history. Having a comprehensive view of their patient’s health prior to referral helps provide important baseline comparisons for diagnostics. Secondly, referrals to our animal referral hospital guide you, the pet owner, to the most suitable specialist, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care.
