     Branford Veterinary Hospital is a female co-owned locally rooted 85 year old practice. We are NOT corporate owned or managed. Our greatest strength is truly our work culture. We strongly believe in supporting all our employees, and encourage their personal and professional growth. While many corporate practices struggle with staff turnover and burn out, we’re proud to say that many of our employees have been with us for 5 years or longer. Our CVT’s gained their hours, experience, studied and passed their exam with our practice. We regularly send staff to local CE events, and try to send 2 employees to VMAX in Orlando every other year. We utilize and empower our team to their fullest potential, and the result is confident, capable, enthusiastic nurses and assistants. Corporate offering you a “wellness website”? No thanks! Come see how our work culture can reduce your work day stress and truly allow you to enjoy a better work-life balance!
