A Note from Dr. Jonathan Wald

Welcome to Central Broward Animal Hospital. As a pet owner and veterinarian, I know how important it is to have a doctor you trust, especially when your pet is sick or something just doesn’t feel right.

Our hospital has been family-owned in Broward County since 1987, and we chose to remain independent so we can practice medicine the way we believe in—with time to listen, continuity of doctors, and recommendations based only on what’s best for your pet.

Thank you for considering us as your veterinary home. We’re honored to care for the pets of Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond.

Finding a Veterinarian is Easy, Finding Exceptional Care is Hard.
