Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic
For Pet Owners
Why Choose CTVRC
Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic (CTVRC) has many attributes which sets itself apart from other referral centers.
Exceptional service and care
Our doctors, certified veterinary technicians and assistants are skilled, experienced, and compassionate. Our goal is to create the best referral process possible and it is through exceptional service and communication that this goal can be obtained. While your pet is under our care, you and your referring veterinarian will be kept up to date on your pet’s status, diagnosis, and treatment.
Advanced Diagnostic Equipment
The Central Toronto Referral Clinic has advanced technology to offer exceptional care to our patients. Our clinic is equipped with a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner, which is a high resolutions X-ray tool that produces 3D images of patients. CT is a non-invasive method that allows the specialist to produce rapid, precise, and clear dimensional images of organs, bones, and tissue.
Patients must be referred to The Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic by their family veterinarian. Your pet's regular veterinarian can complete the referral through their portal. They should include the details about your pet's problem and identify the appropriate department to see your pet.

Prior to your initial visit
We recommend that you download and complete the Client Information Form. Please bring it to your appointment.
On the day of your initial visit
Be sure to bring all relevant information including the Client Information Form and any medicine or specific diet that your pet is taking.
In cases of surgery and major procedures, and as directed, please do not feed your pet for 12 hours prior to your appointment (except for very young animals, animals with diabetes, or when directed otherwise). However, water may be given up until the morning of the procedure.
Continue your pet’s normal medication schedule and bring all medications with you.
After you check in with the receptionist, the doctor and technician will meet with you and your pet to perform a physical exam, obtain a complete medical history, and evaluate your pet’s condition. The doctor may also perform additional examinations or diagnostics in one of our diagnostic areas.
Our team will then put together an assessment of your pet’s treatment options, plans, and costs. The doctor will discuss this assessment with you, and together you will agree to a treatment plan for your pet.
Payment
Payment is required at the time services are provided. Cash, debit card, MasterCard, AMEX, and Visa are accepted forms of payment. A deposit in the full amount of the high end of the estimate will be required if your pet is staying at the hospital for further evaluation or treatment.
