Veterinary referral care
that builds a better future.
At South Downs Veterinary Referrals we build strong and lasting relationships with local veterinary practices. Our supportive community approach empowers you to stay the guardian of your patients’ health.
Advanced vet referral care built on traditional values
We are more than a vets.
We are united by our shared sense of purpose and our belief that veterinary care should be an enriching experience for everyone involved. We believe in:
FREEDOM
As an independent group, we believe that you should have the freedom to choose a referral experience that’s nourishing, easy and that feels special. That’s why our team has the freedom to personalise their approach to you and your client.
PERSONAL GROWTH
Our greatest asset is our people. We’ve supported our team to achieve Advanced status, whilst working as first opinion vets. And we want to help you grow too. That’s why our team is always available for advice, even if you’re not looking to refer.
ACCESSIBLE CARE
We believe that you should have access to advanced care on your doorstep. Our two state-of-the-art hospitals in Storrington and Chichester take referrals from across Sussex and the surrounding areas, delivering convenient and affordable care.
Exceptional care, right
where you need it.
Referring a patient can be an anxious time. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
We’ve designed our hospitals and the referral experience to be as reassuring and smooth as possible.
Working across two state-of-the-art hospitals, and supported by a dedicated emergency and critical care team, our team are there to give you and your clients 24/7 peace of mind.
Collaborative working for better veterinary outcomes
Together we are more than the sum of our parts.
That’s why we’re committed to working collaboratively with you, your clients, and with our wider teams. Thanks to our sister companies, we provide your patients with seamless care. Both night and day. All under one roof.
Our first opinion team refer cases too, so we walk in your shoes. We know the importance of genuine care and great communication.
