Specialist Veterinary Services in Cairns

Whilst our Veterinarians at Edmonton Vet Clinic are highly qualified and highly skilled, just as with human medical treatment, there are times were specialist veterinary services are required for assessment and treatment of our patients. We aim to ensure this process is a streamlined and stress-free as possible for you and your pet.

Specialist Veterinary Services in Cairns can be accessed via Edmonton Vet Clinic in a number of ways. For complex cases that require specialist intervention, our vets may work with specialists to review your pet’s case in order to provide your pet with the highest level of treatment available.

At other times, your pet may need to be referred to a Specialist Veterinarian to have a consultation with the Specialist either here in Cairns during their visiting rotation, or in some cases, in the Specialist Vet’s clinic location.

During this process we will aim to keep you as informed as we can and provide you with all of your options so you can make an informed choice for your pet’s specialist care and ongoing care needs.

As Specialist Veterinary Services will often be expensive, we encourage all of our clients to take out Pet Insurance either separately, or via your home insurance (if your insurance company offers this facility). Pet Insurance can end up saving you thousands of dollars if surgery or extensive treatment is required for your pet.

Whilst there are conditions regarding pre-existing conditions and your pet’s age, we encourage you to take the time to speak to our friendly team or contact your insurance company to discuss how you can put in place an insurance policy that will ensure you can provide the best care for your pet without a large and unexpected financial outlay in times of emergency or severe illness.
