Partnership with the Chesapeake Veterinary Referral Center (CVRC)

The PET+E.R. team shares its facilities and refers patients to the Chesapeake Veterinary Referral Center (CVRC) when specialty treatment is needed.  The CVRC is a group of highly-trained specialty practices that include cardiology, oncology, internal medicine, neurology, dentistry and surgery.  This partnership allows the PET+E.R. to offer its patients a wide range of specialty treatments – all under one roof.
