FAQs for Vets

What are the fees?
Please refer to our pricing guide. We’re happy to discuss any case-specific consumables (e.g. implants, suture material or drape packs).

Who provides anaesthesia?
Your team will manage the anaesthetic and monitoring. We’ll work alongside your staff and may require you as a scrubbed-in assistant for some procedures.

What happens post-operatively?
The patient will remain in your care after surgery, where it will be most comfortable. We are happy to guide and support you throughout the recovery process (where needed). We are contactable at any time for questions or follow-up. In the event of a complication, we will work with you and the pet owner to ensure a successful resolution. Costs will depend on the nature and type of complication.

Do you provide checklists or client handouts?
Yes. We’ll send you a checklist to ensure everything is ready on the day. Post-op instructions for clients are also included. If needed, we’re happy to provide advice or referrals to colleagues within our hospitals.

Is there an agreement required?
Yes, we’ll provide a Host Clinic Agreement to formalise the process. Download our Host Clinic Agreement or reach out to learn more.
