Services
Schulhof Animal Hospital is a family owned full-service, holistically oriented, teaching animal hospital that has been operating at its current location in lovely downtown Westport, Connecticut, since 1946. Over the years, we have made a number of important changes to our facility, both structurally and technologically.
D., is the wife of Dr. C. Christian Benyei and has worked at Schulhof Animal Hospital under her current title since 1998. She has been involved with the animal care field in one capacity or another since 1972. Her responsibilities include Human Resources, visioning new directions for the Hospital, managing major purchases, financing, staff and facility supervision, resolving client issues, and just generally coordinating the whole picture.
As the oldest and premier animal hospital in Westport, Connecticut, Schulhof Animal Hospital believes that it is impossible for a caring and thriving veterinary practice to be divorced from the community it serves. Without our many friends and neighbors, we simply would not be what we are today. For these reasons, we enjoy being a good neighbor and take every opportunity to do our part to sustain and strengthen our home of Westport.
Thank you so much for the donations in Jamie's name. It will help so many others in the future who need to find forever homes (WASA), need control and cure of cancer (Animal Cancer Foundation), and all health issues (Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine). What a wonderful way to help our precious pets and remember them in such a meaningful way.

Our cats Boom and Shadow had the best treatment during their boarding. Excelent staff, they are very kind, and I highly recommend them to your pet. Thank you very much Schuloff Hospital.

Top notch vets, phenomenal staff, my dog loves going to the vet and that should be all you need to know. They also have play groups, grooming & spa, as well as boarding! All of which we've used and our dog loved it!

I am not a client of this place, but my wife's Aunt has been going there for around forty years. I have taken her there a few times and have always been impressed with how nice everybody is. They not only care about the animals, but their owners as well. I have no problem recommending them to anyone who wants their pets taken care of in a fantastic environment.

Dr Westerfield treats my dog as if it's her own. I have total faith and trust in her which is the most important thing to me. She also communicates very well and my dog seems to respond to her treatments advice. She is a very good Vet and has always impressed me with her care.

I have been taken my dog for 14 years and I did liked the vets very much. This week I called to ask to speech with a vet in the phone before an appointment on Saturday. I want to have blood work before my appointment. Secretary named Melony extremely rude and not willing to help. Stated I couldn't have blood work before my appointment and I could not talk to the vet in the phone, unless is a phone visit.

I wanted just blood work done before my visit to expedite the process. I always pay the full bill, I have never used dog insurance. My dog and it is written in his chart is very anxious and due to covid I could not go inside with him. I explain all this to Melony, but with no avail. Rude, unprofessional. They will lost a client or future Referal due to Melony. Magda siqueira

As new puppy owners, we were very particular about the future care of our baby. Schulhof came very highly recommended and did not disappoint with the compassionate care that we have seen from our first visit. Everyone at Schulhof has demonstrated such kindness and expertise from the receptionist answering our calls to the staff and doctors handling our puppy.

Dr. Westerfield is a remarkable vet and human being. She truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. There is no one else I would trust my Bibi with.

Such sweet veterinarians. We've been bringing our pets here for years and they've always taken excellent care of them. We've seen a few different vets depending on who was available and they're all wonderful.

I was traveling with my dog and found that her eye was red. Received an appointment within a day and the kind vet who cared for her wrote a very detailed note for my vet back home which was very helpful. My dog received the best of care and her eye was healed within a few days.

I can't say enough about the fantastic care and advice I have received from Dr Benyei and all the vets at Schulhof over the past 9 years. They always check-in and follow-up, and have often advised the non-invasive or drug store solution when possible over expensive vet bills. My lab runs in the door for his cookies, and clearly has had nothing but positive experiences in their offices.

I board my dog, use their veterinary services as well as grooming. They are top notch. They treat my dog like gold, the vets are AMAZING, caring, empathetic, bright and on the forefront of pet care. The staff is always friendly, courteous and love my dog and he adores going there. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Westerfield just operated on my dog and was truly astounding. Aside from her great skills as a vet, she shows a true understanding of how deeply one can love their pet.

My office is directly across the street from Schulhof. The other day my cousin found a cat he believed to have been hit by car, so he calls me. I head to the office with a towel and blanket with the plan of getting the cat. Thought I would stop in Schulhof first, because I didn't know what I would do with the cat once caught. Christian Benyai couldn't have been more helpful. Grabbed his gloves and cat carrier and a fabulous co worker and headed accross the street to the rescue.

Unfortunately cat disappeared. Christian gave good warning about rabies and the hazard of just going and trying to save it. They are vaccinated for rabies. my point is, they were and are happy to help with any animal in distres, even if not your pet. They will go and get the animal in distress or you are welcome to drop off. Not to many places do this. A truly wonderful animal hospital. Thank you Christian and the staff at Schulhof!!! I will be recommending you whenever I can.
