At Centennial Animal Hospital, we recognise that some pets may have health care needs that we may not be able to meet, due to lack of specialised equipment, training or accessibility. We are happy to refer your pet to the specialist who will be best able to care for the problem. We currently make referrals to veterinary ophthalmologists, dentists, neurologists, dermatologists, surgeons, internal medicine/oncology specialists, behaviourists and more. Most of these specialists are located in the Greater Toronto Area, or at the veterinary college in Guelph. We receive regular updates about your pet while it is in the care of the specialist, so we are able to do follow up care as needed.
The majority of your pet’s health needs will be met at our practice; however, there are circumstances where a veterinary specialist may be required. Under these circumstances, we may direct you and your pet to a specialist who is a veterinarian with advanced knowledge in a particular area of veterinary medicine or surgery. In some cases, specialized equipment is required to perform procedures that are not routinely performed by general veterinary practitioners. Examples of veterinary specialists include ophthalmologists, oncologists, surgeons, etc.
