Moving your pet to a new veterinary clinic is easy and does not cost anything. With your permission, we request your pet’s existing clinical records so their care continues without disruption - there is no need to start over.
Unlike human healthcare, veterinary clinics do not operate on a single interconnected system. Each clinic holds its own records, which is why your consent is required for your pet’s history to be transferred.
Once you authorise us, we contact your previous clinic and obtain vaccination history, medications, test results and notes about any long-term conditions. This allows us to understand your pet’s health from day one.
Many families choose to book a simple onboarding appointment when they join a new clinic. This can be a relaxed happy visit or a routine consultation so your pet can have a general check-over and meet the team before anything urgent arises.
Changing clinics does not mean losing your pet’s medical story. With your consent and an introductory visit, your pet’s care can continue seamlessly at Takurua Vets.
