About this service

An independent reading of your animal's file by a vet who has not treated them. Useful before agreeing to surgery, when a diagnosis has not settled, or when you simply want a second view before deciding.

You will get a written opinion rather than a conversation, which suits a question that turns on records and images. It arrives in plain language, with the reasoning shown, so you can take it back to your own vet and discuss it.

What's included
  • Upload of records, imaging and bloodwork
  • Written opinion within three working days
  • Plain-language summary of the findings
  • One round of follow-up questions by email
How it works
  1. Buy the voucher. It arrives by email with your redemption details.
  2. Send the records the Expert needs, using the route given on your voucher.
  3. The Expert reviews them and writes back — Reply within 3 working days.

From the provider

Your voucher code arrives by email as soon as payment clears. Reply to that email with the records attached. The written opinion comes back within three working days, and you may ask follow-up questions for fourteen days afterwards.

What to send

Have the records ready as PDFs or clear photographs — consultation notes, any imaging, and the most recent bloodwork. The more complete the file, the more useful the opinion.

What happens to your records

The records you send go to Dr Marta Lindqvist, who decides how they are used and is the controller for them. They are used only to prepare your opinion, kept for as long as professional record-keeping rules require, and then deleted. Karuvia carries them on the provider's behalf and does not use them for anything else. You can ask either of us for a copy or for erasure at any time. Privacy Policy

Suitable for

  • Emergency or out-of-hours advice

Your statutory right to withdraw

Separately from the terms above, EU law gives you a right to withdraw from a service contract within 14 days. Where you ask for the work to begin inside that period, different rules apply once it has started. How withdrawal works
