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. The hospital was founded under the leadership of Dr. W. S. Bentham, which later continued under his son, the late Dr. W. H. Bentham. Today, we keep many of the same goals and expectations of the founders in mind as we service the Fremont community. We believe that quality medicine is best achieved when a family mindset fosters our expectations of service for our clients and team.

Our pets are our family, and we want to protect and enhance their health and happiness throughout every stage of their lives. From spay and neuter procedures and recovery support to excellence in geriatric care, Central Veterinary Hospital is your family's trusted healthcare advocate for your furry best friend.
Integrative medicine incorporates elements of multiple medical traditions to create a more individualized, wellness-driven care plan that supports your pet's unique needs. This approach to veterinary medicine takes into account your pet's medical history, health habits and concerns, and lifestyle to focus not only on healing and disease prevention, but also on overall health and wellness for a long, happy life.
Oral health is one of the most fundamental aspects of your pet's well-being that goes far beyond bad breath and dental disease. Poor oral health can be one of the leading causes of kidney disease and/or heart failure, so it is extremely important to us that we provide the best possible dental care for your pet at every age.
Central Veterinary Hospital is a family pet care experience rooted in the ideals of combining compassion with professionalism and innovation to create an environment that is as supportive of our clients as it is for our team.

The vet is lack of knowledge about cat. They cannot tell what is wrong with my kitten and my kitten is allergic to the medicine prescribed by the vet.

Great doctors but the front end staff is extremely unfriendly, nasty attitude and have no business dealing with people. Not an isolated occurrence but an ongoing practice. Taking my pup somewhere else.

Dr. DUNLAP communicates clearly and is methodical in his approach. He is conservative in his approach to vaccinating and prescribing medication. He took wonderful care of our senior pup. He is now caring for our new puppy.

Since they refuse to make an announcement I'll do the public service; they've raised their rates about 140% since February. So don't get blind sided like me at the register after the services have already been rendered. EDIT: The response to my review is false; they do not offer competitive pricing in the area - as the first place I called offered the same service for $25 less. Also, they did not offer any type of warning of the price increase. Price went from $50 to $80 for an exam and was told at the register with my credit card in hand. I'm not the only reviewer with this same issue, go look at Yelp too.

I was lucky to get an appointment here when I really needed my dog to be seen immediately. Our new vet is Dr. Sharma and we are very impressed with her and I believe and feel she took excellent care of my dog and explained everything that was going on so I understood it and how we would continue treating her in the future and I like that she told me to make a follow up appointment. I've never had that in my other vets and I can understand her 100% I am very happy to be at Central Vet with my dog Little.

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.

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 the findings in tests they'd run on him. I can't recommend Central Vet and Dr Bruno highly enough! We will never take our little guy anywhere else again!

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.

They are such a great place to take your pet. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Linda and she was wonderful with our American Bulldog. She truly loves what she does and it shows by her love for the pets. I wouldn't want to take our dog anywhere else.
