ER Referral

The team at Central Island Veterinary Emergency Hospital is happy to provide support with day emergencies, overnight care to your patients, and surgical services. Our team is here for you.

We understand you want your patients to be in the best care. Our goal as an emergency hospital is to provide your clients with a 24-hour option. As you are their primary veterinarian, we ensure you are kept up-to-date with any treatment or care that is given. We value your trust and are committed to providing the same level of care as your client and patient are used to at your own practice. With clear communication between veterinarians, our referral program is designed for our hospitals to work together in the best interest of your patient.
