About Central Hospital

Central Hospital is a partner in your pet’s health care. We share  all records of the  treatment we provide with your family veterinarian.  We are one of the first veterinary hospitals to use the rVetLink system to keep your family veterinarian connected to your pet’s care while in the hospital.

Our in-house staff includes 26 doctors, seven of whom are dedicated to emergency care.  Our veterinarians are supported by a diverse hospital team of nurses, technicians, handlers and administrators. 

Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine was founded in 1975 by several local veterinarians to improve their individual abilities to practice veterinary medicine through centralization of staff, equipment, facilities and ideas. We are a small-animal practice, meaning our primary focus is on cats and dogs. Over 200 veterinarians refer patients to us for emergency and specialty care every year.  We are committed to providing the highest standard of veterinary care whenever you may need it 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

Recently we moved from our long time location in downtown New Haven, CT to a new larger facility in North Haven, CT. This move allows us to provide you with expanded medical services in a more comfortable environment, with plenty of parking, a large reception area and an enclosed state of the art walking area for hospitalized dogs.
