Supporting You Through the Referral Process

When your pet is referred for specialist care, it is normal to have questions about what happens next. Our Pet Owner Resources page brings together helpful information about referrals, consultations, surgery preparation, recovery support, rehabilitation and payment options.

At BVRS, we aim to provide clear, practical information so you feel informed and supported at each step of your pet’s care.

Referral Information

Most specialist services at BVRS are provided through referral from your primary care veterinarian. Your regular vet will usually send your pet’s medical history, referral details, and relevant diagnostic information to our team.

This helps us understand your pet’s condition and plan their care more effectively.

Aftercare and Recovery Support

Recovery does not end when your pet leaves the clinic. Our team provides guidance to help you care for your pet at home after surgery, imaging, physical therapy or rehabilitation.

Your pet’s aftercare instructions will be tailored to their treatment plan, and our team can help answer questions about the next steps.
