About Us
At Mount Carmel Veterinary Hospital, we are dedicated to providing top-notch veterinary care to your beloved pets. Located in Hamden, Connecticut, our hospital has been a trusted name in the community for over 32 years. Our mission is to help you keep your pets happy and healthy by offering a wide range of services designed to meet their unique needs.
Our Services
We understand that pets have a shorter life span than humans and age faster, which is why we emphasize the importance of annual physical examinations. Our thorough examinations and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems, ensuring your companions feel their best. We offer almost all surgical services, including spaying, neutering, growth removals, bone fracture repairs, and intestinal surgeries. Our board-certified surgeons perform these procedures, making it more convenient for owners and reducing expenses.
In addition to surgical services, we provide internal medicine consults, including in-hospital referrals to internal medicine specialists who also perform ultrasounds. We also offer chemotherapy protocols to improve the quality of life for pets with cancer. Our alternative medicine services include acupuncture, which has shown dramatic positive results for many patients.
For your convenience, we offer house calls for patients or clients who are unable to visit the clinic due to extenuating circumstances. We provide transportation for hospitalization and offer euthanasia services to ease both the client and the patient during stressful situations.
Our on-site digital x-ray equipment provides high-quality x-rays to aid in the quick diagnosis of many conditions, which are then reviewed by a board-certified radiologist. We perform ECG and echocardiogram services on-site, as well as consultations with cardiology specialists. Our dental services include routine teeth scaling and polishing, digital dental X-rays, tooth extractions, and oral surgery.
We maintain an in-house laboratory to run routine blood work for emergency anesthesia or sick visits. This allows us to diagnose conditions such as parvo virus, heartworm disease, tick-borne diseases, feline leukemia, and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) quickly. We also send out blood, urine, fecal, and tumor samples for more specialized testing.
To ensure your pet's safety and comfort, we adhere to state laws regarding current Rabies vaccinations for all dogs and cats. We require full payment at the time of service and accept all major credit cards, cash, and checks.

Behavioral advice is provided on common problems such as excessive barking, chewing, spraying, scratching, digging, house soiling, and aggression.
