Care Center - Dayton (CARE)

Your 24-hour emergency and critical care hospital with board-certified specialists available for you and your pet. Our Dayton location was established in 2008, and through the years our team has proudly cared for thousands of pets in this AAHA accredited hospital. In June of 2019, we moved to a brand new, 15,000 square foot facility. Our new hospital, located nextdoor to our previous location, is home to 24-hour Emergency Care, Cardiology, and Radiology, Surgery. Our hospital is also AAHA accredited

After working together in an after-hours emergency care facility that closed at 8am, Dr. Daniel Carey, Dr. Douglas Hoffman and Dr. Sharmila Ruparel knew that the referring community and general public had a need for a 24-hour veterinary hospital that housed not only emergency, but other specialties as well. A call to Dr. Hoffman's former classmate and Cincinnati native, Dr. Michele Muldoon, brought a board-certified surgeon to the Care Center and the four partners opened in December of 2000, as the only 24-hour emergency and critical care referral practice in the Tri-state area. Relentless in our dedication to excellence, Care Center well-received by referring veterinarians and pet parents, outgrew the 6,800 square-foot facility. Care Center remodeled adding 14,000 square feet to the current facility. This provided space for advanced treatment and imaging modalities, including CT scans and radiation oncology, doubling Care Center's capacity to treat sick patients. This was all done while remaining open 24-hours a day. As Care Center added specialists and ER doctors, veterinarians from further and further away started sending patients to us. Dayton was quickly becoming a major source of referrals for Cincinnati, so in 2008, we opened the Dayton Care Center as a 24-hour emergency and critical care satellite. In 2014, as part of our ongoing commitment to provide the highest quality of care and service Care Center became accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) in both our Cincinnati and Dayton facilities. Care Center's founders took an exciting step to expand our network and resources within veterinary medicine. In 2015 Care Center joined forces with Compassion First Pet Hospitals. On June 3, the staff at Care Center Dayton said a bittersweet goodbye to their 5,000-square-foot hospital and moved directly next door to their new, expanded, 15,000-square-foot, 24-hour veterinary emergency and specialty center. The nationally recognized hospital features cutting-edge technology to further elevate patient care while also expanding its veterinary services. With 11 doctors, including five board-certified veterinarians, and more than 40 support staff members, Care Center has never been closed a single day, and that tradition has continued, even as the hospital transitioned to its new location

Mission — Care Center dedicates itself to recognizing the sanctity of the human-animal bond. We work towards this by creating a state-of-the-art facility that is recognized as the leader in veterinary medicine in the region. Our success is achieved by providing rewarding careers to all of our staff members, and by being a compassionate, competent and ever-present resource for our referring community and pet owners. Above all we achieve our goals best collectively, and no one person or department is more important than Care Center as a whole
