Veterinary Referral Services - Hamilton
Located within Hamilton Veterinary Services, Veterinary Referral Services (VRS) receives companion pet referral cases from primary veterinary caregivers when patients require veterinary care that is complex or requires skills and equipment that is beyond the function of a primary caregiver.
We are not a substitute for your primary care veterinarian and as such we require a referral from your primary veterinarian before taking on a case. VRS will work and communicate with your primary care veterinarian to ensure your pet receives the best care possible. We will work closely with your veterinarian and keep them well informed of case development.
