Pet Emergency Services
If your pet is experiencing an emergency, please call ahead so we can either prepare for your visit (during business hours) or direct you to one of the 24-hour emergency hospitals in the area, depending on the severity or issue as well as the time.
At Central Veterinary Center, we understand that emergencies can be overwhelming and unpredictable. When your pet is in distress, you need quick, reliable care from a trusted team. That’s why our experienced staff is fully equipped to handle a wide range of urgent medical situations during our regular business hours. If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, we encourage you to bring them to our hospital in Chalfont immediately. If possible, call us ahead of time at (215) 692–8954 so our team can prepare for your arrival.
As a leading emergency veterinarian in Chalfont, we’re dedicated to providing prompt and compassionate care when your pet needs it most. Whether it’s a sudden illness, injury, or unexplained behavior, our facility is equipped with advanced diagnostics and life-saving tools to deliver the critical care your pet deserves.
It can sometimes be difficult to decide whether a situation requires emergency veterinary attention. In general, if you believe your pet’s condition is serious and cannot wait for a regular appointment, it’s better to err on the side of caution. However, here are some signs that clearly indicate the need to visit our emergency veterinarian in Chalfont:
- Difficulty breathing or constant coughing/choking
- Uncontrollable vomiting or diarrhea
- Bleeding that won’t stop
- Acute abdominal swelling or pain
- Seizures or loss of consciousness
- Sudden collapse or extreme weakness
- Electric shock or exposure to toxic substances
- Symptoms of heatstroke, including excessive panting or lethargy
- Inability to urinate or defecate
- Extreme temperature fluctuations (over 104°F or under 100°F)
If your pet is experiencing any of the above symptoms, don't wait—bring them to Central Veterinary Center as soon as possible. Our team is trained to assess and stabilize emergencies quickly, ensuring your pet receives the appropriate care without delay.
As a trusted emergency veterinarian in Chalfont, we also work closely with local 24-hour emergency hospitals in Bucks County. If your pet's emergency occurs outside of our business hours or requires overnight care, we’ll guide you to the appropriate facility so your pet receives continuous treatment.
Emergencies are stressful, but you don’t have to face them alone. Central Veterinary Center is here to support you and your pet with expert care, fast response times, and compassionate service when it matters most.
