For first-opinion veterinary practices

Advanced medicine, ultrasound and endoscopy referrals, now available locally.

Professional, approachable and affordable referral support for first-opinion practices.

Referral-level support with practical communication.

Mobile Vet Referral is designed to support colleagues who need advanced diagnostics and pragmatic case advice without sending clients unnecessarily far away.

Cases can be referred for assessment at local partner practices, including Arthurs Veterinary Specialists, Towcester Vets and Elizabeth Smith Veterinary Practice. Availability may vary, so referrals should be submitted through the Mobile Vet Referral form and the most appropriate location and pathway can then be confirmed.

The aim is simple: high-quality referral support, clear reporting, and accessible pricing for your clients.

  4. A clear written report and practical onward recommendations will be provided after the appointment or procedure.

For pet owners

Mobile Vet Referral is a veterinary referral service. If you are a pet owner and think your dog or cat may benefit from referral, please speak to your usual veterinary surgeon first. Your vet can then submit a referral and share the relevant clinical history.

Useful cases to refer

  • Chronic vomiting, diarrhoea or weight loss
  • Suspected hepatobiliary, pancreatic or intestinal disease
  • Endocrine, renal, urinary or haematological problems
  • Respiratory investigation, rhinoscopy or bronchoscopy
  • Ultrasound-guided sampling, centesis or biopsy
  • Cardiac murmurs, arrhythmias or Holter monitoring
  • Outpatient abdominal or cardiac ultrasound
  • Endoscopy where biopsy or minimally invasive investigation is required
  • Cases where a colleague would value discussion before full referral

Need to discuss a case?

If you are unsure whether a case is suitable, I am happy to discuss options before referral.

This page intentionally avoids fixed clinic dates so the information remains current. Referral location and availability can be confirmed after the case is submitted.
