There are some things to remember when attending referral appointment/surgery.

Do not feed your pet after 10pm the night before the appointment for possible surgery,
You can provide water till the time of the appointment,
You can bring some familiar things for your pet, so he/ she feels at home- for example a toy, scarf etc.
Make sure all medical notes/ images have been provided from the referring vet;
Please bring all the medication your pet is currently receiving;
If for some reason you can not attend your appointment, please inform us in advance so we can free that appointment slot for someone else.

Terms of business (for referrals):

We will provide the estimate of the likely costs that may be involved, however in some complex cases the final sum is only apparent in the end of the treatment. We do our best to give you a guide of expected costs at the time of your pet’s admission. All accounts must be settled at the time of discharge of your pet from our practice. We are happy to complete your insurance forms for you- however any direct claims from your insurance will involve admin fee of £18.16 – which is non-refundable. Direct claims can only be accepted if the final cost of treatment is over £1000 and this kind of claims must be agreed with the Practice Manager upfront after getting pre-authorisation from the insurance provider.

We also require the deposit which is an equivalent of 1/3 of the final costs of the estimated price of complex surgeries at the time of the admission of the patient.
