Get care
Finding a new lump or bump on your pet can be a stressful experience. At Northwest Referrals, we prioritise clear communication, precise diagnostics, and advanced surgical techniques to provide your pet with the best possible outcome.
Whether it is a small skin growth or a deep-seated internal tumor, our surgical team is equipped to handle everything from routine excisions to highly complex procedures.
We utilize fine-needle aspirates (FNA), biopsies, and advanced imaging (such as ultrasound or CT Scans) to understand the nature of the mass before the first incision is made.
For complex cases, we map out "surgical margins" to ensure we remove all affected tissue while preserving as much healthy skin and function as possible.
Not all masses are straightforward. Some require experienced surgical expertise due to their size, location, or involvement with vital organs. As certificate holders in soft tissue surgery we provide advanced solutions for:
Specialist-led care with advanced credentials
Specialist-led care with advanced credentials
When a large mass is removed from a limb or area with "tight" skin, we utilize advanced tension-relieving techniques and skin flaps to ensure proper healing.
Precision removal of growths within the mouth or jaw.
Our care doesn’t end when the surgery is over. We provide comprehensive post-operative support, including:
Tailored protocols involving nerve blocks, laser therapy, and medication to keep your pet comfortable.
Sending the removed tissue to a laboratory and pathologist to confirm the diagnosis and ensure clean margins.
If further treatment like chemotherapy or radiation is needed, we coordinate closely with external specialists to manage your pet’s long-term health.
Hear from veterinary professionals and pet owners who rely on our team for seamless referrals, clear updates, and expert care.
I am so grateful to Northwest Referrals for operating on my dog who had IVDD of the neck for 10 weeks and was in a lot of pain.
We have been seen the next day, CT scan confirmed slipped disc already suspected after quick examination. Surgery was the same day, he has been recovering amazingly quick and well, his cut healed perfectly and we cannot thank all the team enough!
I honestly cannot rate this referral centre highly enough!

Had an MRI for my chihuahua. Results came back quickly. The vet was professional, and all the staff was very nice to us. The price was reasonable as well.
It’s always going to be expensive when it comes to being referred by your own vet. The great thing about Northwest Referrals is the costs are all up front.
If I could give 20 stars I would. I spoke to Amanda who was super helpful and gathered as much info as she could after speaking to the vets/surgeons.
We travelled from Birmingham… The bill was exactly what we had been quoted.
Not only were they a third cheaper, our assigned vet was professional and explained everything in detail.
Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to clinical excellence, accountability, respect, and evidence-based practice.
