Providing professional, experienced veterinary medical care, advice, and compassionate attention
for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, ferrets, rodents, and other exotic companion pets.

The Central Animal Hospital provides experienced veterinary medical and surgical care for dogs and cats in Tucson. In addition, our experience allows us to offer complete veterinary services for the more unique pet - birds, reptiles, ferrets, rabbits, and other exotics.

The Central Animal Hospital is well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and we are equipped with the good sense and experience to know when to use it. Our tools include:

  • A high-frequency computerized x-ray machine, which provides the highest quality films with the least exposure of the patient to radiation.
  • An automated x-ray processor for rapid results.
  • On-site lab services for pre-anesthetic screening and rapid testing results when needed.
  • Isoflurane anesthesia, one of the safest available. A respiratory ventilator for both large and very small patients.
  • A high-speed dental machine for excellent results and the greatest degree of comfort for your pet.
  • A radiosurgical unit for oral surgery, control of bleeding and surgery for the smallest of our patients.
  • EKG units and a pulse oximeter to monitor surgical patients, as well as help diagnose heart disease.
  • Bear Hugger forced-air heating to keep our surgical patients warm and safe.
  • A digital video endoscopic system to visually explore and biopsy our most delicate patients in a minimally invasive way.
  • And much more.
The Central Animal Hospital is staffed by a small, friendly, communicating, and caring group of people, which includes our Head Veterinary Technician Steve DeCamp,CVT; our Veterinary Assistants Kurt, Adrienne, Shannon and Gabrielle; and of course, Doctor Miller and Doctor Samuels.
