Location & Areas We Serve
History
Established in November 1958, the Connecticut Veterinary Center stands as the embodiment of Dr. Hubert L. Hopkinson's visionary dream. In its early years, the practice was a one-person operation, with Dr. Hopkinson single-handedly managing every aspect, from answering phones to laboratory work, office duties, and even kennel maintenance. It was not uncommon to see "Hop," as he's affectionately known, mowing the grass and washing windows himself.
Today, Connecticut Veterinary Center is still led by a passionate group of doctors committed to upholding the high standards and compassionate care that have been our hallmark since the very beginning. The growth of the practice prompted the introduction of our 24-hour emergency service, which not only serves our clients but also area referral veterinarians and their clients.
Our journey here at Connecticut Veterinary Center is a testament to the unwavering dedication and passion beginning with one man that gave way to an entire team that followed. From humble beginnings to a network of facilities offering top-notch medical care, we've remained committed to the well-being of our patients and the satisfaction of our clients. We take pride in the continuous growth and evolution that have allowed us to better serve our community. Our legacy is one of excellence, compassion, and a deep-seated love for animals, and it's a legacy we carry forward with gratitude and enthusiasm.
