Dog/Cat Referral Clinics

Dog/Cat Referral Clinics (patients referred by private vets for specialist assistance and related services)

Private vets refer dog and cat patients to us when the diagnosis is problematic or complex, or if the patient requires specialised procedures, tests, treatment and intensive care. To cater for referred patients, we offer dedicated Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction Clinics.

  • Consultation appointment times vary from clinic to clinic. Please contact the clinic concerned and ask for an appointment slot convenient for you.
  • No discharges may take place before 14:00 unless the animal is travelling to another province more than two hours away.
  • Visiting is by arrangement with the clinic sister and/or student responsible for your pet.

The unit co-ordinator is Sr Sarah Johnson: Tel +27 (0)12 529 8387 [email protected]
