New Canaan Public Schools

New Canaan Veterinary Hospital has always been, and continues to be, a family owned full service veterinary practice located at 7 Vitti Street in New Canaan. At a time when many if not most veterinary facilities are being gobbled up by big business, New Canaan Veterinary Hospital is still privately owned. What that means to the company's clients, q... uite simply, is superlative service and individualized care. New Canaan Veterinary Hospital remains the first and only full service animal health care center in New Canaan. Founded by Dr. James Whitloch in 1949, New Canaan Veterinary Hospital has continuously served the company's local communities for over 60 years. Dr. Paul Potenza took over the practice in 1996. Dr. Potenza is a 1988 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and specializes in veterinary dentistry and abdominal ultrasound, as well as general veterinary medicine. Dr. Marlene Schaefler, a 1999 graduate of Cornell University, joined Dr. Potenza full time in the fall of 1999. Dr. Schaefler, as well as providing excellent medical and surgical care, is licensed to certify pets are healthy for overseas travel. Dr. Stefanie Boggess has worked with Dr. Potenza and Dr. Schaefler since early 2016. She is a wonderful new addition to the practice, bringing a wealth of experience at emergency facilities and both large and small practices. Her gentle manner calms all of her patients and clients during even the most stressful visits. Dr. Potenza and the entire staff at New Canaan Veterinary Hospital strive at all times to provide excellent patient and client care. The company believes that in order to give the best care to your pet(s) the company need to have a trusting relationship with their family. Because of that belief, the company invite you at any time to come to the company's office, request a tour of the company's facilities, and get to meet all of the company's staff.Read More
