Swift Referrals

"Our boy started having seizures and was referred to these as a matter of urgency. Swift is the other side of the country to us, but they were able to take our boy on the same day the alarm bells were ringing. They were thorough with identifying what the issue was, and went above and beyond to ensure the little guy was getting the right level of care and treatment to get him back on track to hopefully live out many more years. They had our little sausage for over a week and provided daily updates and pictures. We've just got the little man back yesterday when writing this, and although we're in an experimental phase of his recovery, Swift has ensured us and our local vets that they will support and provide guidance for such a complex condition. We can't thank them enough for all their efforts. Thanks again Swift Referrals."

"A big thankyou to all at swift referrals, scooby came in beginning of the year to have his leg operation due to his growth bone which caused him to be lame and often limped after walks and could not run, here he is enjoying his favourite game of ball, he's now able to run without limbing afterwards. And best of all he is no longer in pain after exercise! He is now enjoying full activities thankyou again and all staff was amazing with the care they gave to scooby"

"We were referred to Swift in July 2021 following our dogs diagnosis of diabetes which at the time, despite many things done by our current vet, we just weren't able to get the diabetes under control. We saw Rory Bell who was amazing. He explained what they did and why and we were always given more than enough time for our appointments to get all our questions answered. Unfortunately for us, despite the tremendous efforts of Rorys expertise, our Bella didn't make it and was pts in October 2021 due to severe complications with her diabetes. As a family we were, and still are heartbroken however we live in the knowledge that because of Rory and his team, we did everything we could to save Bella and that helps ease the pain. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Swift to anyone needing specialist help and support with their animals' illnesses. (Pictures are of Bella before she became ill)"

"We were referred to Swift at Wetherby after our dog Nell had a terrible cliff fall, resulting in some serious injuries. We were distraught, there was a good chance that our beautiful dog was going to die. She had unknown internal injuries, collapsed lung and a very badly broken thigh. We had been told by the original referring vets that she may have to lose her leg and that her injuries were as yet unknown, they prepared her for the journey. When we arrived at Wetherby, we were met by a team of people who were highly professional, sensitive and kind. It was explained to us that they would take Nell's care hour by hour, a step at a time and whilst being highly professional and not making any promises, they tried to offer us a degree of optimism. We appreciated this honesty as at this point we thought she would die from her injuries. We could call any time, we received updates, the communication was second to none. As the hours progressed, not only did they pull her through, but they stabilised her further so eventually she was operated on and her leg saved. They put our dog back together, but they not only saved Nell, they saved me too. She has been such an important part of my life this year and I was devastated I may lose her. We cannot praise them highly enough for their professional integrity, kindness and honesty. At every point we have been more than impressed, every visit we made to her, every phone call and subsequent appointment has been conducted with exactly the same professionalism. Nothing is too much trouble, no explanation is too much. We really appreciate everything they did. Nell continues to go from strength to strength. Thank you doesn't seem enough, but we thank them from the bottom of our hearts and cannot praise this team highly enough. We have no hesitation highly recommending this amazing centre."
