Our office opening hours for general enquiries or in-patient enquiries are
8.30am – 6.30pm, Monday - Friday.
If you are contacting us in writing, please state clearly on any
correspondence all appropriate names (Owner's, pet's, Vet's) along with a
one or two word description of the nature of your query (eg. “Insurance”,
“Clinical”, “Internal Medicine” etc.) in order that we can ensure that your
query is addressed by the appropriate person as quickly and efficiently as
possible. When contacting us by e-mail please include these details in the
subject line.
Is your pet an in-patient with us, or has your animal recently visited a Pinnacle Specialist?
If your pet is an in-patient, please don't worry; our Case Nurses or
Specialists will usually try to contact you twice a day with updates - more
frequently if there are concerns. Quite often they will call you outside our
normal office hours (8.30am - 6.30pm). At Pinnacle, we are fortunate to have
24 hour care provided via both our own veterinary staff and the experienced
veterinary staff at PETS Ltd (the Pet Emergency Treatment Service) who are
co-located at The Veterinary Hospital, Newnham Court. If you do need to
contact us outside normal office hours, please call on 01622 734054 (please
note this is an out-of-hours number for the owners of in-patients only or
for those owners whose pets are actively under current treatment or have
recently been seen by a Pinnacle Specialist).
Are you a Veterinarian in need of help? Emergency Referrals: out-of-hours contact for vets
Referring veterinarians with urgent queries (either for pre-existing cases
or for new emergencies) can contact us out-of-hours on 01622 734054. In the
first instance you will reach a member of the Pet Emergency Treatment
Service (PETS Ltd) who can direct your call to Pinnacle Specialists.
Please note that Pinnacle Specialists and the primary care practices
(Newnham Court / PETS Ltd) are separate practices co-located at The
Veterinary Hospital, Newnham Court. Pinnacle Specialists is a REFERRAL ONLY
practice. PETS Ltd veterinarians see emergency cases only from other
registered primary care practices; they do NOT take referral consultations
for Pinnacle. They can at your request, refer a case onwards to Pinnacle
Specialists.
We will always refer your client back to you, their primary care vet. Please
note; animals that you have referred to Pinnacle Specialists will not be
registered with the primary practices (Newnham Court / PETS Ltd) co-located
at The Veterinary Hospital. This is an understanding which has been formally
agreed between all parties.
Pinnacle Specialists are registered and regulated by the Royal College of
Veterinary Surgeons.
In addition, our Specialists are registered and regulated by the recognised
Specialist Registration Boards (European / Royal / American Colleges).
