Our Mission

For nearly forty years, Central Veterinary Hospital has been providing quality care to patients residing in the Capital Region. Established in the heart of downtown Albany in 1982, Central Veterinary Hospital has been owned and operated by Dr. Michel Hardaker since 1990. Since that time, our staff of highly trained veterinarians, technicians and administrators continues to serve our clients in an outstanding manner each and every day.

At Central Veterinary Hospital we are committed to providing the best care for all animals. From owned and loved pets, to the many lost or abandoned strays and large numbers of animals cared for by the various animal welfare groups. We treat all of our patients equally. We offer care and compassion with the latest high-tech medical equipment and expertise to deliver the best medical treatments possible to all patients, all of the time.

We cherish the opportunity to follow our patients from their earliest stage of life through their adolescence and long into their golden years. We promise to help get you and your pet off to a healthy start and to be there to assist, care, and support you both when the road ahead gets bumpy. We are proud to say that for nearly three decades, clients have invited us to share in life’s journey with them. Now, we invite you to come travel the road with us.
