Specialist Referrals
Specialist Referrals: Expert Care When Your Pet Needs It Most
At PEAK VETS, we’re here for your pet through every health challenge—big or small. But sometimes, unusual or complex conditions call for advanced expertise and equipment beyond general practice. In these cases, we work closely with trusted veterinary specialists to ensure your pet gets the highest standard of care.
Need a Referral?
If your pet is facing a serious or unusual health concern, get in touch with us to discuss whether a specialist referral is the right step. We’re here to help every step of the way.
Why Refer to a Specialist?
Australian-registered veterinary specialists undergo extensive training and rigorous examinations to become experts in their specific fields—just like human medical specialists. Whether it's a complex surgical case, a puzzling internal illness, or a rare condition, these specialists bring a deep level of knowledge and skill to the table.
We’ve built strong, collaborative relationships with highly regarded specialists in areas such as:
Orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery
Internal medicine
Dermatology
Oncology
Cardiology
Neurology
Ophthalmology
When your pet needs it, we’ll help coordinate the referral and share your pet’s medical history, diagnostics, and any other relevant information to ensure seamless care.
What You Can Expect
Specialist vets are independent and set their own fees, so we recommend contacting them directly to discuss consultation costs when booking an appointment. But your journey with us doesn’t end there—our team remains involved throughout the process and is here to support you with ongoing care, questions, or guidance.
If you're feeling uncertain about a diagnosis or treatment plan, we’re only a phone call away. We’re happy to explain, answer questions, and help you make informed decisions.
