The Hospital

Aberdeen Veterinary Referrals offers referrals in small animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, orthopaedic surgery, neurology, and spinal surgery, where we see referral cases from across the North East of Scotland.

Our onsite partnership with VetsNow ensures continuous overnight care for our patients, allowing our team to focus on providing top-tier service each day.
