Questions? We’re Here to Make Things Clear.

At Plumtrees Animal Hospital, we take care of our own. We diagnose, treat, and hospitalize patients who are sick or in critical condition, and offer personalized, overnight nursing care when necessary. This means that we can effectively diagnose and manage your sick cat or dog, conveniently under one roof, without the need for back-and-forth travel.

Our doctors have specialty training in emergency medicine, with experience in the stabilization and treatment of most serious emergencies.

An internship is a rigorous postdoctoral program that a veterinary graduate must be accepted into. Internships provide advanced training to veterinarians who are interested in furthering their knowledge and skill by allowing them to work closely with specialists in the fields of emergency and critical care, internal medicine, surgery, cardiology, and neurology. Drs. Baff, Kotwal, and Goldstein have each completed highly coveted internship programs, making Plumtrees Animal Hospital the only general practice in the Greater Danbury area to have only internship-trained doctors.

A veterinary specialist is a veterinarian who has completed a rigorous educational and practical training program in a specialty field of veterinary medicine. Many specialists have completed up to 5 years of additional training after graduating from veterinary school. We offer our patients quick access to our own group of specialists in the fields of internal medicine, critical care, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, and cardiology.

We will ask that you do not give your pet food or water after midnight prior to the procedure, and no breakfast the morning of the procedure. Your pet will be scheduled for an admission time the morning of the procedure, typically between 8:00 and 9:00 am. Once the procedure is completed, you will receive a phone call to discuss the details of the procedure, and a discharge time will be scheduled, typically after 5:00 pm. Most often, pets undergoing routine procedures will be discharged the same day (i.e. outpatient).

We practice multimodal pain management to ensure that your pet is comfortable before, during, and after his or her procedure.

We require a comprehensive patient workup, including physical exam, patient history, and in most cases bloodwork, to ensure that your pet is a healthy candidate for anesthesia. We use the most up-to-date surgical and anesthetic protocols, including close monitoring of patient vitals such as blood pressure, pulse oximetry, temperature, and ECG.

Pet Insurance is an insurance plan that helps to alleviate the financial burden if your pet is ill or injured.

We facilitate all paperwork and claims to make the insurance reimbursement process as seamless and stress free as possible. We work closely with all insurance carriers and plans.

We accept credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and Discover, as well as debit cards and cash. For your convenience we also accept CareCredit, an affordable financing plan.
