Over recent years there have been marked advances in veterinary medicine and surgery, and a structure mirroring that seen in the human field has developed. In order for your pet to have access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, your primary care vet, where appropriate, may offer to refer you and your pet to a Specialist much like your GP might refer you to a consultant.
NiVS is Northern Ireland’s first Specialist-led, multidisciplinary, small animal referral hospital. We have come together from the largest referral hospitals and academic institutions across the UK and Ireland and bring with us an unrivalled level of specialist experience. When your pet is ill or injured it is a worrying and upsetting time for the whole family, and we work hard to make the process as straight forward and stress free as possible. When referred to NiVS, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe hands and will receive the very best veterinary care.
Being referred to a Specialist can be an anxious time for owners. We have therefore collated some of the common questions we get asked, which hopefully will allay some of the concerns you may have prior to or following your appointment at NiVS.
Before any consultation or treatment, you should always contact your insurer to check that your cover is adequate and that your pet’s condition is covered.
For your convenience we have collected together some information on a few local places and ammenities which may be useful during your visit to us.
