Central Veterinary Hospital
Since 1959, Central Veterinary Hospital has strived to bring excellent medicine and surgery as well as a gentle, compassionate touch to the pets entrusted to us. We focus on preventive, orthopedic and internal medicine for dogs, cats, pocket pets, birds and reptiles. For more than 30 years, the American Animal Hospital Association has accredited Central Veterinary Hospital.

We are one of only 3,000 hospitals nationwide that voluntarily participate in the accreditation program, with trained consultants visiting regularly to ensure compliance with AAHA's standards for medical services and hospital facilities. Our staff also attends regular training in exceptional client service so we can give you an inviting and comforting experience.
Services
The doctors and staff at Central Veterinary Hospital regularly receive training in the latest anesthetics, medications and techniques to control pain in companion animals. We take a proactive approach, providing appropriate pain medication before, during and after every surgery. You also will receive written home-care instructions and any continuing pain medication to help your pet rest comfortably at home for faster healing.
Dr. Victoria Bruno is a Bay Area native, born and raised in Pittsburg, California. She graduated from UC Davis in 1983 as a Regent's Scholar with a summa cum laude degree in biological sciences. She chose to pursue a career in veterinary medicine because it combined her passions for medicine, diagnostics and animals.
Spaying female puppies or kittens can help them live a longer, healthier life and helps control the pet population at large. Because your pets' comfort is one of our primary concerns, our Fremont clinic, Central Veterinary Hospital & Emergency Services, applies anesthesia and pain management techniques during such procedures.
It has been estimated that some 85 percent of pets over 4 years of age have developed a form of dental disease. This can affect much more than just an animal's oral health; it can also be a cause of heart and kidney disease. Our staff at Central Veterinary Hospital & Emergency Services is concerned about animal well-being, and therefore offers comprehensive cat and dog dental care at our Fremont practice.
In California, infestations can occur during any season, making year-round flea control a necessity. Parasite and tick control medicine can prevent the lodging of eggs and the injections of proteins that come from such voracious creatures. This is important for protecting Fremont pet owners and their families against spotted fever and Lyme disease.

Dr Bruno was our vet for many years before we moved away 9 years ago. A few months ago we moved back to the bay area, to San Mateo. We started using a vet nearby but when our dog had a serious flare up of his inflammatory bowel disease they didn't seem to be able to get it under control, and in fact he was getting worse with changes they made to his medications. We decided driving him across the bay to see Dr Bruno was our best option. And it was! He is completely back to normal a week later. We provided Dr Bruno with his records from the San Mateo vet and found out they had not even told us all

We have been taking our dogs and cats to Central Vet for over 30 years now. I would give this place ten stars if I could. I’ve always felt confident that our pets were getting the best of care.

I called about a rabies shot for my 18 month old puppy. They said they had to do a $60 exam before they would even consider a rabies shot. I told them there’s nothing wrong with my dog, so why would I pay for an exam? Looks like they care more about making money than taking care of dogs and they lost the chance to gain a client. Oh well, it seems I dodged a bullet based on how many bad reviews I see for this place.

4/5 ⭐
Staff is professional and compassionate, the doctor we saw was wonderful...she and my dog, Maggie, became instant friends even after getting a thermometer stuck in her bum and that's saying something because nobody likes that! 4-star rating only because we had to wait longer than I thought was acceptable, which I can't really hold against them because everything takes longer these days because...Covid! Overall...great experience for dog and human. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for all you do for the furbabes!

Dr. Dunlap and Dr. J are just the best! They have such amazing bedside manner and I love they way their compassion and knowledge cone out in everything they do! I live in Manteca and still take my dog their. I won't take them anywhere else. And the customer service from everyone that runs the front, especially Alex is top notch!

Don’t come here if you are a new customer.
It was a pretty long-waiting list, at least two weeks, whereas other vets could always get you within a week.
On the top of it, I finally made a 700am morning appointment 2-weeks ago for my cat’s ringworm (the situation has become severe day by day because of the long waiting), the receptionist says she doesn’t see any of my appointment regardless of how miserable my cat is.
I decided to still go with them because I was deceived by their 4.5 star review, now I will never come back.
