Emergencies

An appointment or referral is not required if your pet is coming to SASH for an emergency. Your pet will be triaged and seen in order of urgency. Visit our emergency page for more information here.

Making a Specialist Appointment

If you are seeing a specialist, you will need a referral – the same way you would need one from your GP if you were going to see a specialist.

Your local veterinarian can refer you to us, or if you’ve presented at emergency, our team there can make a referral to a specialist for you.

Once you have a referral from you vet, please contact us on 02 9190 6805 to make an appointment. We will need :

Name (yours and your pet’s)
Address
Telephone number and email address
A brief explanation of why your pet is unwell
Name of your vet and their clinic/practice name
The specialist you have been referred to

On The Day Of Your Appointment

Please do not feed your pet after 10pm the evening before, unless your pet is diabetic, or very young. Avain and Exotics pets such as birds do not need to be fasted.

Please be aware of our current COVID guidelines here.

What To Bring To Your Specialist Appointment

Please access our portal before the appointment and complete the required fields to ensure we have up to date details for you and your pet. Please note: with the interest of your pet’s care in mind, we may book in provisional imaging/procedures to ensure you have a reservation should you need it. These will be visible in the portal but won’t be proceeded with until approved by you.
If you cannot access the customer portal, please ensure you complete our “New Client form”. Please click here to download or print the form
Please ensure your vet has sent through your pets relevant history (24- 48 hours prior to your appointment) and a brief summary of the problem.
X-rays, scans or other information – this may also be sent to us in advance by your vet
Medication – please bring along any medication your vet may have prescribed
It is a good idea to make some brief notes about your pet’s illness e.g. any signs you may have noticed, dates of events or even a brief video. It is also worth making a list of your own queries or concerns before the consultation

What To Expect During The Appointment

During your appointment, the specialist vet will take down your pet’s full medical history. Then after your pet is examined, they will discuss any findings, initial diagnosis and if further tests or procedures (X-rays, blood tests, surgery) are required. Your pet might be able to go home with suggestions for management or treatment. But if further investigation is required, your pet may need to be admitted.

If your pet is admitted it will only be after all costs and treatments have been discussed. Remember surgery and some treatments can be expensive; so make sure to read through the treatment plan you have been given, and chat to SASH if you have any concerns. When your pet is admitted, a 50% minimum deposit is required.

Once admitted to SASH our team will regularly update you on your pet’s condition, but you can call reception if you have any specific concerns

What Happens After The Appointment?

When it’s time for your pet to come home, we ask that you settle your account at reception. If you have pet insurance, please ensure you have updated your insurance details in the portal. We may also be able to process your claim via GapOnly^TM

A summary of your pets medical condition, and next steps will be given to you and a detailed report will be sent to your local vet.

Even though your pet has been discharged with SASH, we will continue to work closely with you and your local vet to make sure your beloved pet has the smoothest recovery possible.

Payment Options

At SASH, we have a few payment options available for our clients which can assist to cover the cost of treatments if required. We do also accept cash as a choice of payment.
