DR. ARNOLD LEITNER

 

Dr. Arnold Leitner lives in Ridgefield, CT with his wife Laura. Their daughter Melanie is a student at Indiana University. Dogs are represented by Bruno the Bernese Mountain Dog and a Husky named Inuk who thinks he is really a wild wolf with just a little bit of dog in him.

Dr. Leitner worked in small animal practices as an associate in Washington D.C. and Norwalk, CT. before going into practice with Dr. Jeffrey Hubsher at South Salem Animal Hospital. In 1992, Dr. Leitner with his Bernese Mountain Dog organized and participated in an animal companion program at Ballard Park in Ridgefield, CT to allow people confined to their houses to have canine companionship.

Dr. Leitner is an active member of the AVMA, CVMA, AVDS, FCVMA, and NYVMA and participates annually in the continuing accreditation program that NYVMA sponsors.

Dr. Leitner graduated veterinary school in 1980. His special interest is internal medicine of dogs and cats, as well as pediatrics (he likes puppies.) Besides being a vet almost 24 hours a day he enjoys golf, skiing, and basketball.
