For Referring Veterinarians

True North accepts referrals from general practitioners throughout Manitoba and beyond. Your clients remain your clients - we keep you fully informed at every step.

When to refer

  • Behaviour has not responded to initial management or training recommendations

  • Aggression poses a safety concern requiring specialist assessment

  • Anxiety, fear, or compulsive disorder is suspected

  • Pharmacological management requires specialist oversight

  • The case needs more dedicated support than a general appointment allows

How to refer

01 Submit the online referral form

Takes approximately 5 minutes. Include the client's contact information, the pet's signalment, and a brief description of the presenting concern. You can also attach the patient’s up-to-date medical records at this step. Additionally, you can direct your client to the For Pet Parents page to schedule directly.

02 We contact your client

We reach out directly to schedule the appointment and send the intake package. If not already received, we will reach to you to obtain the patient’s medical records.

03 You receive the visit summary after the initial appointment

After the consultation (in-person or via telemedicine for eligible clients), A full written report, including diagnosis(es), behaviour observations, treatment recommendations, and any medications prescribed, is sent to you after each appointment.
