How does referral work?
Please contact your primary care vet to discuss referral if your pet needs to see a cardiologist.
We can make arrangements to see your pet after your vet has been in touch with us to arrange a referral. Once your vet has contacted HHVC, we will schedule a date to visit your clinic. HHVC will create a treatment plan and work with your primary vet to ensure the highest quality care for your pet.
