Yes, We’re Open to Care for Your Pets

Central Veterinary Associates’ Main Hospital in Valley Stream remains OPEN 24/7 for Emergencies throughout the Covid-19 Health Crisis. Scheduled appointments are available throughout the day. Please call the closest location to schedule an appointment.

CVA remains committed to providing the best care to our valued patients during this unprecedented period. To ensure the safety and well-being of our clients and staff, all appointments now occur without clients ever needing to enter the hospital or clinic.

When you arrive at either the Main Hospital or one of our satellite offices, we will ask you to stay in your car and call our front desk.
The doctor will call you on your personal cell phone to learn about your pet’s needs.
When it’s time for your pet’s appointment, an CVA staff member will take your pet into the building.
Once the appointment is complete, you will receive a call to begin the checkout process.
Following check-out, you will be notified when your pet is ready and a staff member will return your pet, along with any necessary medications, directly to your car.

Please arrive at our office with your phone fully charged to ensure you can communicate effectively with our medical staff.
