Veterinary Liaison

In order to ensure a complete and professional service, we require all our dogs to have a Referral Form from their Veterinary Surgeon or Orthopaedic Surgeon, who we then continue to liaise with and report back to throughout the duration of the treatment, thus ensuring a complete medical history is available, before, during and after treatment.

York Canine Hydro has emergency Veterinary cover from The Minster Veterinary Practice, located less than 3 miles away. More details of The Minster Veterinary Practice can be found on their website http://www.minstervets.co.uk
