East York Veterinary Center to be SPCA’s 2010 “Season Sponsor”
In conjunction with the SPCA’s partnership with the York Revolution, the SPCA is pleased to announce that the East York Veterinary Center will be supporting the SPCA as its own “season sponsor!” Located at 1997 Industrial Highway in York, the East York Veterinary Center sees all types of animals, dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, pocket pets, and even an occasional wildlife patient. Dr. Valerie Miller, the owner of East York Veterinary Center, has been a member of the SPCA Board of Directors since 1989 and is a long time supporter and advocate of the SPCA of York County. Dr. Miller also co-hosts the SPCA’s Meet the Pets program. “My staff and I have always admired the SPCA for its dedication to animals and the services it provides for the betterment of our community,” said Miller. “We are excited to support the SPCA and the animals in its care through this sponsorship.”
The East York Veterinary Center recently completed a major expansion, and now features a large reception atrium, luxury pet condominiums, and a comfort and consultation room. Other improvements include a dedicated dental suite, expanded surgery suite and heated recovery compartments (trained nurses hold each patient until they are fully awake), state of the art medical technology, a dedicated ICU room, and expanded exam rooms to improve the outpatient experience. The facility has closed circuit cameras for patient safety and clients can even log in to see their family member from afar while staying in the lodge. New patients and appointments are being accepted on a daily basis at (717) 840-1025. Whether your needs are pet wellness services, medical attention, education or boarding, you can find it at East York Veterinary Center. The York County SPCA is very grateful to the East York Veterinary Center for its sponsorship and support!
