Welcome to Veterinary Referral Services

Located behind the Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre building, Veterinary Referral Services (VRS), receives companion pet referral cases from primary veterinary caregivers when patients require care that is complex, or requires skills and equipment that is beyond the function of a primary caregiver.

Speak to your vet about making an appointment with us, or feel free to contact us directly for advice. We look forward to assisting you .

Referral Team

We will work closely
with your current Veterinarian

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.
