Refer a Case

Dovecote Veterinary Hospital provides specialist surgical and diagnostic support to practices right across the Midlands. We aim to make the whole referral process as clear and straightforward as possible and our veterinary team as well as our reception staff are happy to take calls with any questions you may have, on 01332 812500.

We give your clients access to the latest technologies and techniques, including:

Advanced imaging techniques (CT, MRI, digital X-ray).
Dedicated operating suite with three theatres.
Rigid and flexible endoscopy, including interventional arthroscopy and laparoscopy.
Comprehensive surgical service in orthopaedics, soft tissue and neurosurgery.

How to refer – The referral process

All cases should be accompanied by a case history/X-rays/lab reports unless these have been sent in advance. We ask that clients are told to starve pets of food from the previous evening, with water left down overnight.

The surgeon in charge of your client’s case will liaise directly with you on all aspects of diagnosis, treatment and outcome.

Receptionists, physio, nurses and vets were all fantastic, every single member of staff is worth their weight in gold.
The Supervets of the north!
Lovely, caring staff, who go the extra mile. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Think ‘The Supervet’ and that’s the level of care and professionalism. Highly recommend
Whole team were welcoming and made myself and my cat feel very comfortable! Mark Lowrie is fantastic!! Thank you for coping with me as a worried owner!
Everyone has always been so kind and Charlie absolutely loves his visits. The receptionists are particularly wonderful and are always on hand with a box of tissues for the numerous tears we’ve shed.
I work as a registered vet nurse and had to come to Dovecote with my dog Alfie. I was squeezed in and was seen promptly by Sergio right after a long operation. He was so kind to Alfie and explained everything to my mom (who is not vet trained) and did Alfie’s MRI there and then even though it was going to make it a late finish. Unfortunately we had to make the call to put my lovely boy to sleep and Sergio and the nurses were really kind and helpful. I received your lovely card today and want to thank you all for your help and seeing him so quickly. I will be forever grateful.
I had a very positive experience at Dovecote. I met the vet that day that was going to perform my dog’s surgery and I was immediately put at ease by his professional, friendly and caring consultation. All the staff I came in contact with were lovely, from the welcoming reception staff to the nurses I kept ringing through the evening! My dog is now back to her normal naughty self, I can’t thank them enough.
Really good consultation with neurologist Sergio today with CT and MRI scan. Very well organised with helpful, professional staff.
I just wanted to say how amazing Kimberly was today with me and my dog Rolo. She could see how upset I was, made me feel at ease and reassured me that Rolo would be okay. Her level of professionalism and kind nature helped me get through a difficult day
