- CBChloe BaldersonMay 15, 20265.0⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Orla was referred to the orthopaedic team due to significant lameness, and this was the same referral centre she attended 3–4 years ago for fracture surgery. Steve, the vet who looked after Orla, was absolutely amazing. He kept me fully updated throughout, treated Orla with so much care, and most importantly made sure every decision was truly in her best interest. His professionalism, compassion and clear communication gave me complete confidence in her treatment. I can’t thank Steve and the team enough for looking after Orla so well. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone needing orthopaedic care for their pet.
- MCMargaret ColemanMay 11, 20265.0My dog Mabel has been seen by Steve a couple of times. I find him to be very caring and understanding . He explains results in a way that I can easily understand. I would have no hesitation in recommending MVS to anyone who wants excellent care for their pet.
- JAJake AckerleyApr 25, 20265.0Honestly couldn't recommend MVS enough. All of the staff that work there have been brilliant but a massive shout out to Ben. Our bulldog has had issues with her hips/legs for a while and we kept getting told it was one thing then another for months. We had a consultation with Ben and he finally pin pointed the issue and went into detail for over an hour reassuring us that things wasn't as bad as we thought and that he will have her fixed up no problem. Everything went to plan during the surgery and she's recovering well. If like us you've been referred somewhere your unsure of, then have a consultation with MVS, you won't regret it. Thanks to all the staff at MVS for looking after our girl!
- OOOliviaApr 9, 20265.0My very old dog Lucy came in for a dental procedure. Laura, Alex and there team took exceptional care of her. They followed up constantly and always took the time to answer my many questions. Thank you to the whole team for really looking after my Lucy :)
- HRHaylea RawlinsonApr 1, 20265.0Absolutely amazing from the start, so informative Milo our Lab x Rott was lame we took him here after our vets referred us Ben pretty much as soon as he looked at Milo told us what was wrong! He then had a CT scan to confirm and the following day had his operation we are now 10 weeks since the op and Milo has recovered amazing and back running around playing happy as can be. Thankyou to all the team at MVS
Frequently Asked Questions About Manchester 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.

Will my pet need to be hospitalized for a long time?
The length of hospitalization depends on your pet's condition. Reception staff can provide approximate time scales to help you plan accordingly.

Not necessarily. Follow-up tests are often performed by your own vet, while Manchester Veterinary Specialists oversee your pet’s future care to minimize journey times.

Specialists are experts in their field, with three to five years of focused training. Your vet will refer you to an appropriate specialist to ensure your pet receives expert care tailored to its needs.
