Just as general practitioners (GP's) are able to refer people to specialist doctors in the field of human medicine, general practice veterinarians are able to refer clients and their dogs or cats to the Veterinary Specialist Group.

VSG^® Specialists have extensive training, experience and access to state of the art equipment. This enables procedures and treatments to be performed that usually cannot be carried out in a general veterinary practice.

If you think your pet may benefit from Specialist treatment here's what to do;

• See your own veterinarian. They will want to help manage your cat or dog's health.
• Make an appointment with VSG^® by phone. Your vet may do this for you.
• Your vet will need to forward all the relevant information about your pet.
• You will bring your pet for an initial consultation with a VSG^® Specialist. In this consultation, options and costs will be discussed with you.
• Your pet may be admitted to the hospital for further evaluation as appropriate.
• At the time of discharge, findings and a course of action will be discussed with you.
• A report will be sent to your veterinarian detailing findings and the course action.
• Should a revisit be required this will be scheduled with you.
