What is the Veterinary Referral Process?
Minnesota Law requires that a chiropractor obtain a referral from an animal’s veterinarian before providing services to that animal.
Although this adds an extra step before the initial visit can occur, it is truly in the best interest of your animal! It ensures that bridges are built between the professions and that your pet is receiving integrated health care.
The referral process is generally quite simple and takes just a little time. It is handled entirely by our staff after your initial contact with us. If your veterinarian has any hesitation about providing the referral, you will be notified and steps can then be taken to aid the process.
What can you do to help the referral happen as quickly as possible?
After you have asked us to obtain your referral, call your veterinarian. Tell them that you would like them to provide the referral and indicate your reasons for wanting chiropractic care for your companion.
What information will we need to obtain the referral?
- Your name, address and telephone number
- Your animal’s name, species, breed, gender, color, age, and spay / neuter status
- Your reason for wanting chiropractic care for your animal (specific condition, wellness, etc.)
- Your veterinarian’s name, clinic name, and telephone number
