The Veterinary Referral Center at VREC

Pennsylvania pet parents rely on VREC

Veterinary medicine is constantly advancing. For this reason alone, no single veterinarian can be expected to excel in all areas of the continuum of care.

For this reason, primary care veterinarians frequently refer to the VREC. Your local vet may not have the diagnostic tools, advanced equipment, training or experience to treat all your pets needs.

The Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center is here to support vets and their patients with cutting-edge technology, advanced training, and the hands-on experience that can make the difference.

Our 24/7/365 animal hospital with over 60 veterinarians, veterinary technicians, pet care staff and administrative staff are here to help.

Emergency Center

Our 24 hour veterinary emergency center and critical care unit can manage those life-threatening injuries and diseases. Traumatic injuries, toxic ingestion, or medical conditions with a sudden onset are treated rapidly by our experienced team, day or night.

Surgical Center

Steady hands of our veterinary surgeons treat a wide variety of conditions. Sometimes treatment or diagnosis requires internal examination. From anesthesia, to the operating room, to the recovery room, our team of doctors and veterinary support staff have the best facilities, training and equipment to give your pet the best possible care.

Medical Center

Internal Medicine, neurology, cardiology and other veterinary professionals are available to treat or consult with pet parents and veterinarians for maximum quality of life.

Our facilities and technology

Our dedicated veterinary MRI, radiology department, shockwave therapy and nuclear medicine lab is the most comprehensive facility of its type in northeast and central Pennsylvania.

Our Staff

Any veterinary facility is only as good as its people. Our team is focused on being the best in the business. Our veterinarians are experienced and continuously trained in the latest techniques and technologies. Our vet techs each cover specific areas of expertise. The veterinary support staff know how to handle your pet safely and with affection, and understand that healing has a lot to do with bedside manner. Finally, our administrative team makes sure our facility is well staffed, well-equipped, and running smoothly.
