To Pet Owners Referred From Other Hospitals

Your pet has been referred to Oradell Animal Hospital by your primary care veterinarian for consultation with a specialist. 

Our specialist will evaluate your pet, and make recommendations regarding diagnostics and treatment based on the findings of the physical examination and the medical history provided by you and your veterinarian.

Oradell Animal Hospital will work closely with you and your veterinarian to manage your pet’s condition in order to provide the most consistent and complete care. We will contact your primary care doctor and provide him/her with any necessary information when the referral treatment is completed.

We value our relationship with your veterinarian and we know that he/she provides you and your pet with excellent care. Therefore, Oradell Animal Hospital will only treat your pet for the condition for which it was referred. We ask that you return your pet to your primary care veterinarian for all necessary routine care such as vaccines, heartworm tests, physical examinations, parasite control and other illnesses.

We are grateful to you and your primary care veterinarian for entrusting us with the care of your pet.
