For Owners.

What to Expect, Every Step of the Way

Being told your pet needs a specialist can feel overwhelming. From the first referral through to recovery at home, we make every step clear, calm and supportive.

Your own vet sends the referral and shares your pet’s history with us. We arrange a convenient appointment, examine your pet thoroughly and explain every option in plain language with written estimates so there are no surprises.

On treatment day your pet is cared for by an experienced clinical team and we call you the same day. Through recovery you have aftercare, follow-ups and our team on the phone whenever you need us.

Qualifications.

Specialist Training You Can Trust

Knowing the qualifications of the surgeon caring for your pet matters. The difference between a GP vet, certificate holder and recognised specialist is significant and worth understanding.

A recognised specialist has completed at least 3–5 years of formal specialist training in a specific field, comparable to a hospital consultant. Specialists hold internationally recognised diplomas RCVS, ECVS or ACVS each requiring rigorous examination.

At AVS, your pet is cared for by a small, focused team with the qualifications, experience and ongoing development to deliver this standard of care.
