Wow Amazing caring compassionate staff. We attended here with our miniature Dachshund COCO with a sudden onset of IVDD stage 2 and didn’t feel Rushed in the discussion of procedures, what was really reassuring was that coco went with the vet and didn’t look back she was completely comfortable in his arms. The communication and care before , during & after surgery were amazing. We would highly recommend.

I don't even know where to start, bridge referrals are absolutely outstanding, from the very first contact we felt supported, valued and listen to. During one of the most difficult times in our lives you were all there to offer options, reassurance and always a positive voice at the end of every phone call. Our Westie Archie presented with a large mass in his abdomen, after a CT scan you found it was on the right hand side of the liver, in a very tricky place, your incredible surgeons Mark and Becky explained our options and all risks involved, we knew if we didn't try surgery our Archie wouldn't have survived as eventually the mass would have taken his life due to the location and pressing against vital veins, we also knew that surgery was a huge risk due to the location of the mass and Archie's age (13). After proceeding with the surgery we were absolutely illated when we were told Archie had made it through the surgery, he stayed with you for 2 nights and the care both Archie and our family received was phenomenal, we would whole heartedly recommend you to anyone who needs specialist care for their dog/cat ❤️ Thankyou will just never be enough for what you have done for our family, the extra time you have enabled us to have with Archie is something we will be forever grateful for, Archie has never ever been 'just a dog' he is our whole world and a huge part of our family ❤️

We were referred to Bridge Referrals after our Border Terrier Penny sustained a major traumatic injury to her eye. Bridge Referrals were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They saw Penny immediately and operated on her within hours of her injury so were able to save her eye. All the staff from reception to nursing to medical staff were so empathetic and compassionate in what was an extremely stressful and upsetting situation for us all. The veterinary surgeon Sarah was wonderful and performed such amazing surgery on Penny that you would barely know that only two weeks ago she nearly lost her right eye. What an absolutely phenomenal practice! I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for Penny and our family!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Care My Springer Spaniel, Coby, recently had surgery at Bridge Referrals. This is the second time Coby has been a patient there, and once again, the experience was absolutely outstanding — both for him and for me. The care, support, and communication are second to none. A special thank you to Emma, who performed the surgery — she was amazing. Nothing is ever too much trouble; my dog is very complex with several medical issues, and the team is always so caring and accommodating. You can call day or night, and they are always there to help. I couldn’t recommend Bridge Referrals more highly — truly 5-star, outstanding service. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Thank you for everyone involved in Cobys care.. xxxx

We used Bridge Referrals for our lab’s TPLO surgery back in August, and this is the first time we’ve ever used their services. We have been absolutely blown away by the treatment given by all staff, from surgeon Jack’s care during the procedure itself, to the photo updates provided by RVN Faye, and the belly rubs given by VCA Janine while in the kennels (we know Nala would’ve lapped these up). I would recommend Bridge to absolutely anyone wanting to refer out of their usual practice for treatment.
