Comprehensive veterinary care sometimes extends beyond what a single general practice clinic provides in a single visit. North Delta Animal Hospital offers additional services for dogs and cats in Delta and Surrey, including access to veterinary specialist referrals and on-site dispensing, so your pet's care continues seamlessly whether it stays within our clinic or moves to a specialist setting. Our clinic is open seven days a week for your convenience.
Some conditions benefit from the expertise of a veterinary specialist, and knowing when to refer is a core part of responsible general practice care. When our team identifies a concern that warrants specialist-level evaluation, or when a condition has not responded as expected to management in general practice, we coordinate a referral to trusted veterinary specialists in the region. Specialists may include veterinary internists, dermatologists, cardiologists, oncologists, ophthalmologists, neurologists, and others depending on your pet's needs. Our team ensures that your pet's medical records and relevant history are transferred before your referral appointment so the specialist has the context they need from the first visit. We remain your pet's primary care team throughout the process and are available to discuss specialist findings and next steps with you after your referral visit.
North Delta Animal Hospital provides on-site dispensing of veterinary health products for dogs and cats. Having relevant products available at the clinic at the time of your visit means you can leave with what your pet needs without a separate errand. Products dispensed at our clinic are selected and provided under veterinary guidance, ensuring they are appropriate for your pet's individual situation. Our team is available to answer questions about any product dispensed at our clinic, including how it should be used, how often, and what to watch for. Never use over-the-counter products intended for humans on dogs or cats without speaking with a veterinarian first, as many are unsafe for pets.
When our team determines that a specialist referral is appropriate for your pet, we will discuss the reason for the referral with you and what the process involves. We coordinate the transfer of your pet's medical records and relevant history to the specialist before your appointment. You attend the specialist appointment, and our team is available to discuss the findings with you afterward and help you understand next steps within our ongoing care relationship.
