Emergency medical situations are unpredictable are stressful – but they don’t have to be. It is imperative to have a professional veterinary client-patient relationship (VCPR) with a veterinarian prior to an emergency event so that the appropriate triage and referral can be made in your animal’s best interest.
Why Do I Need An Emergency Referral
Referrals are a common way for veterinarians to triage emergent conditions and refer to the appropriate professional that can best serve you and your animal at the time needed. If you do not have a current VCPR then emergency services cannot be guaranteed with any veterinary professional. Additionally, tertiary care referral hospitals require a referral to receive emergencies from non-clients. Through this network we can ensure that everyone’s time, resources, and health are given the most sensitive consideration.
