Welcome To
Bridgeport Veterinary Hospital
For a long time, veterinarians have been focusing on how to practice better medicine. While this is critical, we believe the industry has ignored an important idea: your experience matters too. Chances are, you’re busy. You don’t have time to sit idly in a waiting room. Chances are, you want communication with your veterinary practice to be at your fingertips.
We have built a different kind of veterinary hospital. One that makes no sacrifices on the quality of medicine but strives to make the process more convenient and enjoyable for you. We want to show you how we do that.
“We are serious about re-imagining a new kind of experience for you. We think it’s a long time coming.”
Because our premises offer plenty of space, we do not have a waiting room. Upon arrival, you and your pet will be placed immediately into an exam room. Nothing good ever happens in a waiting room. In a veterinary hospital all of the fears and anxieties of both pets and owners are magnified by the waiting room experience. Healthy animals encounter sick ones. Sick animals and their owners encounter healthy animals that may be aggressive or fearful. Cats meet dogs.
We hope to eliminate this point of anxiety and provide the best first impression possible for you and your pet. Contact us for more information.
There have been incredible advances in veterinary science and technology. Your pet deserves access to these advances. We have cutting edge equipment and techniques that extend the possibilities in animal healthcare to amazing new levels. It is important to maintain state-of-the-art equipment because we take your trust very seriously. And we believe your pet deserves nothing but the best.
Stress Free
It is incredibly important to minimize your pet’s stress during their visit. When a pet is stressed, their body’s physiological systems are affected – such as their heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. We rely on these systems for diagnostic purposes so stress can mask a real problem or make us suspect problems that aren’t really there. That’s why we make the experience as stress-free as possible for your pet.

Kind words from our clients
This is one of my top two veterinary clinics, ever! My #1 retired, so he'll have to hold the top spot out of respect, but BVH is spectacular from their front desk staff to their website to their techs and docs. Terrific patient experience. 5/5 would recommend.

I absolutely love this brilliant find. Bridgeport is already full of understated but wonderful businesses staffed by incredible people, and yet, this place is an absolute standout. Everyone is blessed with an abundance of empathy and intelligence. I feel welcome here. My dog didn't want to leave because she completely loves the staff. A complete win, and they're also a place to board! Highly recommended.

We have been coming to Bridgeport Vet for a few years, but I've had a few absolutely stellar experiences lately that I need to share. First of all, I have a very anxious pup- particularly when it comes to seeing the vet. I think she had a bad experience at a previous vet, so she has been suspicious of all vet visits since. Bridgeport has always been so caring and patient with her, and at a recent routine visit, one of the techs recommended "happy visits" where we can just bring her to the vet, weigh her, and give her a treat so she can start to develop a good, or at least neutral association with the vet! I was so impressed with that suggestion and I do plan to bring her back for those, but unfortunately we had a slight emergency situation before we were able to start those! Due to a fireworks scare while she was home alone, my dog became destructive, so much so that she broke off most of one of her canine teeth before we were able to get home! I was so upset and worried about her- I rushed her to the emergency vet when we got home at around midnight, but the wait there was 4-5 hours, so they recommended I return the following day- but luckily I was able to squeeze in an emergency visit at Bridgeport the next day! Per usual, they were so patient and sweet. Given the short notice, I wasn't able to medicate her like I normally do for vet visits, so they did as little as possible to upset her or stress her out at that appointment. They gave me advice for her treatment and antibiotics/pain meds to start, and we were able to schedule a surgery (on-site) in about 2 weeks to remove the rest of the tooth. I have to say, Evie is very important to me, so in the ~2 weeks leading up to the surgery, and the day of her surgery, I called the office with questions about her symptoms and care SO many times, and they were still so sweet and responsive to all of my questions. Evie was with them for most of the day today for the surgery (which required more anesthesia and an additional 2 tooth extractions that weren't expected), and the cost of everything was still very close to the original estimate they gave me (and honestly a good $1,000 cheaper than I was expecting it to cost). Not to mention, they included ear cleaning, trimmed her nails, and also used "cold laser therapy" (which I had never heard of) but they said was used to reduce pain and inflammation and stimulate healing. They truly cared for my dog as if she were their own, and I am so grateful for that. She is home and sleeping, but they very obviously took good care of her. This is only my second vet experience I've had, but I have to say that Bridgeport Vet is in a world apart from my previous vet, and I couldn't be happier with how well they have cared for Evie (and also my own anxiety/stress) through this process. Thank you so much to everyone at Bridgeport! -Leann and Evie (post-op pup selfie included)

Kind, loving, professional and so much more. You can see from the minute you make an appointment to the very end of that appointment just how much they love what they do and how knowledgeable they are. I will recommend them again and again!
