In 2008, Dr. Lucy Faulkner purchased Central Houston Animal Hospital and continues to provide the highest quality veterinary care possible by focusing on the individual patient and owner’s concerns. Our staff of doctors, veterinary technicians, receptionists, and kennel technicians works as a team to provide a stress free environment for our clients and patients.

In 2018, we simplified the named Central Houston Animal Hospital to CHAH. With this came a new logo, website, and plans to remodel the clinic. Lots has changed over the years, but one thing never will: our commitment to providing the best veterinary care possible.
