Did you know that Valley Central Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for pets?

HBOT is an advanced treatment that delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing oxygen to reach injured tissues more effectively and support the body's natural healing process.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may benefit pets with:

• Severe wounds and bite injuries
• Surgical complications
• Skin grafts and reconstructive procedures
• Burns
• Snake bites
• Severe infections
• Crush injuries
• Carbon monoxide toxicity
• Neurologic injuries and swelling

By increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues, HBOT can help reduce inflammation, fight infection, improve circulation, and accelerate healing.

As one of the few veterinary hospitals in the region offering this advanced therapy, Valley Central is committed to providing innovative treatment options that help pets recover faster and return to the families who love them.

To learn more about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or to discuss whether your pet may benefit from treatment, contact us, 610-435-1553

The recent warm weather has increased the instances of heat related emergencies at our office. Please remember to limit your pets time in heat and humidity, especially for the older pets, brachycephalic breeds and dogs prone to laryngeal paralysis.

We are incredibly honored to receive this Keystone Certificate from the Allentown Police Department in recognition of the care provided to K9 Luka.

A very special thank you to Dr. Hodges and Dr. Carter for their compassion, dedication, and exceptional care throughout Luka’s treatment. Their commitment to helping both our patients and our community is something we are truly proud of.
