Specialty Veterinary Referrals | Expert Care Beyond General Practice

At Daniel Island Animal Hospital, your pet’s health is our top priority. While many conditions can be treated in-house, some cases benefit from the advanced expertise of a board-certified veterinary specialist. When your pet needs specialty care, we provide seamless referrals to trusted veterinary specialists in the Charleston area.

What Are Veterinary Specialty Referrals?

A veterinary referral is when your primary care veterinarian recommends that your pet see a specialist—a veterinarian with advanced training in a specific area of medicine, such as:

  • Internal Medicine

  • Cardiology

  • Dermatology

  • Neurology

  • Oncology

  • Ophthalmology

  • Surgery

  • Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy

These specialists use advanced diagnostics, treatments, and procedures that go beyond the scope of general practice, ensuring your pet receives the most precise and effective care available.

When Does My Pet Need a Referral?

Your veterinarian may recommend a referral if:

  • A diagnosis requires specialized testing or imaging

  • Your pet has a chronic or complex condition

  • Advanced surgery or treatment is needed

  • Your pet isn’t responding to standard therapies

Our goal is to ensure your pet receives the best care available, even if that means working with a partner outside our clinic.

Trusted Referral Network

We maintain close partnerships with reputable specialty hospitals and veterinary specialists throughout the Charleston area. We coordinate directly with their teams to ensure a smooth transition of care and continued communication throughout your pet’s treatment.
