Your Future as a Veterinarian Starts Here!

Companion Pet Hospital is proud to offer exceptional services to companion animals while continuously improving our skills. We have been AAHA-accredited for twenty-five years and hold certifications as a Fear-Free and Cat-Friendly Practice. Our experienced team provides personalized and respectful care, emphasizing owner education.

We actively support the community by partnering with rescue groups to provide exams for shelter animals. Our goal is to deliver the best care, whether through preventative services, dental care, or surgery. We offer customized health care packages for puppies, kittens, adults, and senior pets, and our facility is equipped for both routine and complex surgeries. In addition, we specialize in integrative medicine techniques, including laser therapy and acupuncture for pets who do not respond to conventional treatments.

Fishkill, located in southern New York, combines a rich communal atmosphere with a suburban lifestyle. Surrounded by nature trails and parks, residents can enjoy activities like SplashDown Beach and locally brewed cider, all while having easy access to New York City.
