- BCBeth CushingJun 5, 20265.0Really great experience at Lumbry Park when our kitten, Olive, was very unwell. All staff members involved were fantastic. Xavier was brilliant at explaining what was wrong with Olive, the best course of action and answering all of our questions. Amy was amazing as keeping us up to date, reassuring us, answering questions and offering ongoing support. Cannot thank the team enough, we felt our girl was in the best hands possible the entire time.
- KSKay ShawJun 3, 20265.0Our cat was referred to Lumbry Park due to an ongoing cardio issue which required further investigation. The whole process from making the original appointment through to the day of the visit everything was explained thoroughly and with sensitivity. We were seen by cardiologist Will. Time was taken to discuss the issue, the tests to be carried out and possible treatment options. We felt that Hockney's welfare was primary at all times with the team. The report sent to our vets was comprehensive for any ongoing queries. We may have to return to Lumbry Park with Hockney and will not hesitate. Thanks to Will and the whole team.
- MDMichael DawsonJun 3, 20265.0When my pup developed a nasal problem, my usual vet referred him to Lumbry Park. This was the second time I had visited the hospital. The first occasion was with my other dog, who had a serious eye ulcer. So when I was referred, I had no hesitation. On both occasions, I met with a specialist in the field and was talked through the issue. AMAZING, truly, both dogs are now doing great, and I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone who needs specialist care
- AWAndrew WeedenMay 31, 20265.0Dobby was suffering severe back problems. He needed a full specialist investigation to determine what was happening in his spine. And this happened during a bank holiday weekend. Lumbry Park provided all that was needed at considerable speed. They offered a very professional approach with excellent scanning equipment. They provided feedback to us swiftly to ease our concerns. Dobby was treated with great thoughtfulness and kindness. They determined the reasons behind his back problem and we were provided with a detailed plan for his recovery. He is now very much on the road to recovery and we are grateful for that.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists
How do I make an appointment?
As we are a referral only clinic your vet will need to refer you by completing an online referral form via our website to start the referral process. Our reception staff will then contact you using the information provided and an appointment can be arranged at a mutually convenient time.
What will happen during the appointment?
During your appointment, we will obtain a detailed history of your pet’s medical background as well as information on the current problem. A thorough clinical examination of your pet will then be performed and any findings and provisional diagnoses will be fully discussed with you at that time. We make every effort to perform investigations and possible surgery during the same visit.
How long is my appointment going to be?
A first consultation will usually be around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the circumstances.
How long will my pet be in the hospital?
This is entirely dependent on the problem. Our reception staff will be able to give you approximate time scales and help you plan your trip.
The Specialist referral practice is a long way away. Will I have to go back many times?
Not necessarily. Often follow-up tests will be performed by your own vet and future care is overseen by your Specialist. We work with your vet to minimise journey times whilst optimising care for your pet.
Why should I travel further to see a Specialist?
A Specialist is an expert in their particular field and your vet will refer you to the appropriate specialist according to your pet’s presenting symptoms and needs.
What is a Specialist referral?
A referral to a member of our expert team gives you the peace of mind that your pet is in the very best of hands.
A Veterinary Specialist is similar to a consultant doctor. To become a Specialist, a vet must focus entirely on their area of specialisation for three to five years, training under an experienced Specialist in that field. During this time they will examine, diagnose and treat a wide range of cases, publish clinical research in this field and prove themselves to be at the forefront of their discipline before completing advanced examinations.
How do I claim from my insurance company?
If you have pet insurance, you will need to inform your insurance company as soon as possible that you wish to make a claim. They will inform you of the process and, depending on your insurance company’s processes, you will need to bring a claim form, or your policy number, with you to your appointment. Any excesses should be paid at the time of consultation or discharge.
Direct claims – A direct claim is when your insurance company reimburses the veterinary practice. Each insurance company varies with their policy on paying a veterinary practice so please check with your insurance provider prior to your appointment. Please note, we do charge a Direct Claim Fee for this service. Please call us for information.
Indirect claims – An indirect claim is when the insurance company reimburses the policyholder. In this case, you would pay your pet’s veterinary bill in full before the claim can be processed and the insurance company will send you payment directly.
In the unfortunate event your insurance company refuses to pay your claim, or the cost exceeds your policy limit, please be aware that you will be responsible for the full payment of your bill.
How much is a consultation?
We will inform of the cost of the consultation appointment at the time of booking and endeavour to provide you with an accurate estimate of treatment before any investigations or procedures are performed. The team will always keep you up to date about charges on your account.
