How to book an appointment with The Site Vet at your practice:

 

If you would like your pet to be seen by The Site Vet, please speak with your vet who will be able to make a referral request. You may direct your vet to the website if they have not used the service before. For urgent referrals, please telephone the request. 

 

Prior to your pet’s appointment, please ensure they have been fasted (unless they are Diabetic or under four months of age). Please complete the history questionnaire prior to the appointment either electronically or bring the completed questionnaire along to your appointment. 

 

Please apply all ocular medications as prescribed, with the exception of ointments which should not be applied within two hours of your pet’s scheduled appointment. 

 

If your pet is anxious when visiting the vets, please speak to your vet who will be able to prescribe medication to be administered prior to the appointment to reduce their anxiety and enable a comfortable, stress -free examination.
