Veterinarian Clinic Eligibility and Referral Process

 

ELIGIBILITY:

Clients MUST NOT:

·         Have an existing veterinarian-client relationship

*Clients must be referred to the clinic by a case worker OTHER THAN OW/ODSP workers (Referring agencies include CMHA, ACTT, Community Health Centres, Options Bytowne, YSB, Community Laundry Co-op, etc...)  The case worker can be a nurse, social worker, housing worker, etc. as long as he/she knows the client. Clients should not seek out a case worker for the sole purpose of getting a referral.  If clients do not have a case worker, they should contact vet clinics in Ottawa to request a sliding scale.
