Patients treated at Valley Central must be referred by their family veterinarian and will only be treated for the condition for which they were referred. No routine procedures, such as vaccinations, spay/neuter, parasite control, are offered here. Twenty-four hour patient care is provided for all of our hospitalized patients.

DAILY UPDATES
If your pet has been hospitalized, we know you are anxious to receive an update as soon as possible. The technicians are able to give the most complete information after the doctors have done rounds and lab work has been completed. Rounds are between 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM, therefore we ask clients to call after 10:00 AM. After business hours updates may be given by the emergency staff at (610) 435-5588.
VISITATION
We know and understand how difficult it is to leave your pet in the hospital. If your pet must be hospitalized, you are welcome to visit the day after the procedure. Valley Central hours for visitation are Monday – Friday, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM. We ask that clients limit the visitation to 30 minutes or less. Visitation may also be arranged after hours, through Valley Central Emergency, by calling (610) 435-5588.
PHARMACY
After your specialist’s approval, prescription refills in-house can be filled by faxing the information to (610) 435-6378 or by leaving a voicemail. When refilling prescriptions by fax and phone, please allow 24 hours for prescriptions to be filled. Prescriptions may be picked up during normal business hours, Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
