Can I come to your practice for a second opinion, and what happens if my pet needs referral?
- We welcome both first and second opinion cases. We will ask which veterinary practice your pet has previously visited so that we can contact them for a clinical history. It is important for us to have a full clinical history for your pet to provide the best care possible.
