At Central Animal Hospital, our veterinarian in Scarsville offers a wide range of services to suit your pet's health and wellness needs.

Our Veterinarians are dedicated to providing your pet with the best possible medical care available. They are current and active members of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the New York State Veterinary Medical Society (NYSVMS), and the Westchester/Rockland Veterinary Medical Association (WRVMA).
As per New York State law, veterinary technicians must meet professional education requirements and complete a licensing examination to practice in this field. Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVT's) are always supervised by a veterinarian, as they assist in surgery, dentistry, and treatments, prepare and administer medications, take radiographs, induce anesthesia, collect specimens, and perform laboratory procedures and other nursing duties.
Having your pet go missing without a trace is a heartrending experience - and during such an anxiety-filled time, the last thing you need is the additional worry over whether his collar ID tags are still attached to him. It's absolutely imperative that you make sure your pet can always be identified by a veterinarian or animal shelter so you can be reunited with him.

We have come to Central Animal Hospital a few times and each time has always been a pleasure. We had friends that recommended Central Animal Hospital and it was a great choice. During Covid, the pet owners waited outside for their pets to be checked and as we were new, we spoke to several pet parents and they highly recommended it and said they received great services and the doctors and staff were very caring. Glad we made the choice to come here

I recently brought my new puppy there, I love Dr. Gross, she was very thorough. The next day the puppy had to go in for A problem she was having, we saw Dr. Cohen, she seemed good too. Dr. Woltz called me with my puppies results over the holiday weekend which I was happy about. I think this veterinary practice has become very expensive, unfortunately, this may cause me to look elsewhere.

I called Central Animal Hospital and got put on hold for 20 minutes. I hung up and dialed again as I thought my call had been forgotten about, upon calling again I was asked if I could hold, I explained I had already been put on hold for 20 minutes. The receptionist rudely replied “We are trying our best!” and continued to click the hold button without even asking if this was an emergency. I stayed on hold for a whole again until the receptionist picked up and asked what I needed. I explained that I needed records for a pet sent to me. When looking up the pet, the receptionist told me that

My family has been a client of Central Animal Hospital since I was young. Now, 45 years later, I am still going there even though I moved to Rockland County. From front line staff, to assistants, techs, and doctors, service has always been the best. My numerous pets and I continue to be grateful for their care.

Dr Woltz is our veterinarian. He is wonderful. He’s very relaxed and very friendly. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains things as he goes. He doesn’t recommend extra blood test, X-rays, etc. unless he 100% thinks they are necessary. So you are not paying for things you may not need at that time. He’s honest and very engaging.

I have been a licensed veterinary technologist for over eight years who has worked in anesthesia and emergency and critical care and am heartbroken over the loss of my family dog at the hands of Central Animal Hospital and greatly disturbed by how Dr. Gross spoke to my mother as she grieved the death of our dog, Rufus. My father called me on September 28th to let me know that he and my mother had picked up Rufus from Central Animal Hospital in extreme respiratory distress, after he boarded there for six days while we were on a family vacation. My parents had taken him immediately to the emergency

This animal hospital is extremely expensive and for absolutely no reason whatsoever!!! was recommended by someone to use this hospital and extremely disappointed with the vet, and the overall experience. To make matters worse my pet insurance reached out to them a few times and they were uncooperative to help me get reimbursed. I now switched vets and I'm very happy to do so

I am so disappointed. I have been going to this vet for ten years or so with all my animals. I loved the staff and the doctors are very knowledgeable but I called to get my cat seen because she has asthma and needs a steroid shot which I have done for the past several years without issue. I was told I could not get an appointment until 3 days out and I asked if I could just bring her in for the shot that day like I always did. I was told the Dr. could see her but there would be a $135 emergency fee. I know that they are overwhelmed and do not have the staff to accommodate the clients (as are

We've been taking our dogs to Central for over 20 years. When I called yesterday the receptionist was rude, but was very clear in the fact that the fee for emergency care would be an additional $205.

I was very disappointed at her lack of care abs concern. Needless to say we're looking for another vet.

I'm fairly new to this practice and have some concerns. My first puppy was there last fall and things went smoothly. With my new puppy, things seemed to have changed, prices have been increased. The first thing that I dislike is that they charge your credit card before they tell you how much the charges will be. I have explicitly asked twice that they call me before they run the card. If they can make you wait in the car for several minutes, they can take the time to call you and also give you a receipt onsite when they return your pet. Either they should provide a cost schedule for

They mostly run on time.
Solid, clear communication.
Convenient hours.
Extremely forgiving cancellation policy.
Competent doctors who answer questions patiently and expertly.
Friendly, professional, caring, responsive, helpful support staff.
I was lucky enough to find this practice during the pandemic, and I’ve made them my family practice.
I have a dog and two cats and am thankful to have a practice I can trust with their care.

When visiting a vet you want a few things -

Simplicity (don't make this hard!)
Punctuality (be on time.... we all hate waiting)
Friendliness (to me and my pup)
Fair prices (who doesn't love to save money?)

These folks provide all this! The measure taken for COVID were well thought out and easy to adhere to. They took care of my pup and were transparent when pricing mattered (i.e., for certain treatments) and overall pricing was more than fair for the area. Will come back.

As you may expect there are times you may have to visit Central Animal Hospital and it is t expected to be pleasant. Our dog Princess was not feeling well at all. She has been having issues we never experienced before. We had went to another local vet in the Bronx and was highly disappointed. I called CAH on a Saturday morning and explained we were scared our pup and they gave a appointment right away.

When you arrive, you must park in a marked parking space and call the main number. A staff member will come out and get your pet. You wait in the lot and the doctor will call you and perform visit

This was my first time coming to this Vet. It was recommend by my girlfriend who also brought her cats here as well. The experience was great. You park in any of their parking spots and call them up and you let them know either the letter or number spot you are in and they come out and bring your pet inside. They do this because of the corona pandemic and to not get any of the animals sick inside. I was new to all this so they do bring out a form for you to fill out and then the doctor calls you up before they bring your pet inside. The receptionists all the way to the doctors are extremely nice

I had a 3.5 month old English Bulldog, and had to take the dog to Central Animal hospital due prolapsed nictitating membrane (cherry eye). Dog can go blind if untreated. I had no issues with my puppy and brought dog immediately to vet once I observed the cherry eyes on my puppy. At this vet office, the vet had the assistant grab my pup and they attempted to wash his face. The assistant then said she needed to go to the back without us. A few minutes passed and the assistant rushed back to inform us that the dog fainted, but was okay. Several more minutes passed and the assistant came back more

Not happy with the treatment of my dog at the end of her life. Instead of recommending to put her down and letting her pass away with some dignity they made me leave to take her to a 24 hour hospital. As soon as we were leaving she was gasping for air and the staff blamed it on the way I was holding her...essentially she suffocated to death in her fluid. Unethical! Would not recommend this place, no compassion...just want the money!

They were really nice with my cat and the people at the front desk were very nice. However I asked the vet how much the total amount would be. He gave me one price but the out cone was much more. I wanted to know how much everything would cost total and the amounts did not match. I was not prepared to pay that amount. The woman at the front desk said she would cancel the test so I'd only pay for the exam which was thoughtful but I did not put my cat through that just to not have the results cause of cost.

In short although the people are nice there make sure you get the price before you

My dog just died (before we could arrive to the vet's hospital), but before he did we always took him here. Dr. Woltz always was great with him. He had a genuine love of animals you could tell and was very good with him. My dad and his dog will continue to go there. I would highly recommend this place.
