Cat Kennels

Behind The Scenes

Hamilton Specialist Referrals was designed and built with the wellbeing of patients, clients and staff firmly in mind. Our clinical facilities are second to none and to ensure our patients stay as happy as our wonderful staff, we have a no-bars policy and all our spacious kennels have been fitted with glass doors.

In addition, the lighting and ventilation systems provide ambient light and regular fresh air changes to keep the environment fresh and relaxing. We have set aside quiet kennels for more nervous patients and a Sonos sound system for those dogs who prefer to have the radio on for background noise.

We also have a modern, glass fronted lift to allow easy access to our physiotherapy and hydrotherapy suites.

We invest in our facilities to ensure pets receive first class care in a welcoming and relaxing environment.
