Setauket Animal Hospital

We provide Comprehensive Physical Exams to proactively assess your pet's overall health. These exams allow us to identify early signs of illness or disease, ensuring preventive care and timely treatment. We prioritize thorough evaluations during routine wellness visits, geriatric checkups, and before surgeries.

We offer Puppy & Kitten Wellness Packages to support the critical first year of your pet’s life. These customized packages include vaccines, parasite prevention, nutritional guidance, and growth monitoring to ensure a healthy start. Our team provides personalized care and advice tailored to puppies and kittens.

Our Senior Pet Wellness Care focuses on geriatric pets, offering proactive health assessments and early disease detection. With specialized exams and diagnostic testing, we address age-related issues like arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes. Our goal is to extend comfort, mobility, and quality of life for senior companions.

We administer Core Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Parvo) to protect cats and dogs from severe, contagious diseases. For dogs, our DA2PP vaccine (covering Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) is combined with rabies prevention. Cats receive the FVRCP vaccine (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia).

Our Heartworm Testing & Prevention services include annual screenings and preventive medications (monthly oral/past tablets or topical solutions) to safeguard pets against this deadly parasitic disease. We emphasize proactive care, especially in mosquito-prone areas, to prevent severe heart and lung damage in dogs and cats.

We recommend and dispense Flea & Tick Prevention products, including monthly oral treatments and topical solutions, to guard against these external parasites. Our team educates pet owners on symptoms like itching, skin lesions, or tick remnants and offers integrated pest management programs for homes.

We provide Microchipping & Registration with 24/7 retrieval scanners to reunite lost pets with their families. Microchips are implanted during wellness exams, spay/neuter procedures, or separately and are registered in national pet recovery databases. We also verify existing chips using our in-house scanner.

Our Nutritional Counseling includes personalized diet plans for all life stages, from weight management to age-specific needs. We collaborate with veterinary dietary specialists to address conditions like diabetes or kidney disease, and our in-house pharmacy stocks prescription diets for chronic care.

We conduct Parasite Deworming for intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms through fecal testing followed by targeted medication. Deworming is recommended annually for all pets and more frequently for those with symptoms (e.g., weight loss, diarrhea) or outdoor exposure.

We offer Behavioral Counseling to address common issues such as aggression, anxiety, or house-training challenges. Our veterinarians and team diagnose root causes (e.g., stress, medical pain, environmental triggers) and recommend training, medication, or environmental modifications for improved pet-human harmony.

Our In-House Bloodwork includes Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels to detect infections, organ function, diabetes, or cancer. Fast results guide our veterinarians in creating targeted treatment plans, and we use bloodwork routinely during geriatric exams, pre-surgery screening, and wellness visits.

We perform Urinalysis to assess kidney health, detect urinary tract infections, or screen for metabolic diseases like diabetes. This test is part of our standard geriatric care, pre-surgical evaluations, and diagnostic panels. We discuss findings with pet owners to recommend dietary, fluid, or medicinal interventions.

Our Fecal Testing identifies intestinal parasites (e.g., roundworms, giardia) and internal health issues. We analyze fresh samples for eggs, occult blood, and pathogens, and follow up with deworming or further diagnostics. Recommended annually or if symptoms (e.g., vomiting, weight loss) arise, fecal testing is a cornerstone of preventive care.

We utilize Digital X-Rays (Radiography) to diagnose fractures, dental disease, heart conditions, or foreign bodies. Safe and non-invasive, X-rays are essential for pre-surgery assessments (e.g., spay/neuter, orthopedics) and emergency care. Our in-house lab provides immediate results for streamlined treatments.

Our Ultrasound Imaging captures real-time images of abdominal and cardiac structures, aiding in diagnostics for tumors, organ enlargement, or pregnancy. Performed by trained veterinarians, ultrasounds complement X-rays and bloodwork to provide comprehensive insights into internal health, with results available during the visit.

We offer Eye Pressure Testing (Glaucoma Screening) for early detection of elevated intraocular pressure in dogs and cats. Using tonometers, we assess risk for glaucoma—a painful and vision-threatening condition—and recommend medical or surgical interventions (e.g., cherry eye repair, cataract surgery) to preserve your pet’s sight.

Our Blood Pressure Monitoring screens for hypertension, common in senior pets or those with kidney disease. Using Doppler or oscillometric devices, we measure blood pressure to determine if lifestyle changes or medications are needed to protect heart and organ health.

We conduct EKG / ECG (Heart Monitoring) to diagnose arrhythmias or congenital heart defects in pets. This non-invasive test is particularly useful for geriatric patients or those with symptoms like coughing, lethargy, or fainting. Results inform treatment plans, which may include cardiac medication or referrals to specialists.

We specialize in Oral Surgery, including tooth extractions, jaw fracture repairs, and periodontal disease treatment. All procedures are performed under general anesthesia with intraoral X-rays for precision. Post-surgery instructions focus on pain management, dietary restrictions, and oral hygiene to ensure speedy recovery.

We perform Spay & Neuter Surgery to sterilize pets, reducing cancer risks (e.g., mammary tumors), unwanted behaviors (e.g., roaming), and overpopulation. Our team follows stringent surgical protocols, with recovery care instructions provided post-procedure. Ear hematoma repair and foreign body removals are also handled in-house.

We repair Wound & Laceration Repair with advanced suturing techniques, drainage systems, and infection control to prevent complications. Whether from trauma or post-surgical incision care, our team cleans and closes wounds under sterile conditions, followed by monitoring for signs of inflammation or delayed healing.

We provide Oxygen Therapy for pets experiencing respiratory distress, post-anesthesia recovery, or chronic lung conditions (e.g., heartworm disease). Oxygen cages or nasal catheters deliver supplementary oxygen in a calm environment, with close monitoring by our staff to monitor improvement and adjust care as needed.

Our IV Fluid Therapy replenishes hydration, corrects imbalances (e.g., dehydration, shock), and delivers medications for hospitalized or critically ill pets. Administered through catheters, fluids are tailored to each case (e.g., maintenance, bolus therapy) and supplemented with electrolytes or blood products when necessary.

We manage Pain Management for pets via pharmaceuticals (e.g., NSAIDs, opioids), laser therapy, or physical rehabilitation. Prescriptions are individualized based on condition (e.g., post-surgery, arthritis) and monitored closely to balance efficacy with minimal side effects, ensuring maximum comfort during recovery.

We treat Poison & Toxin Treatment with induced vomiting, activated charcoal, or IV fluids to counteract exposure risks like chocolate, lilies, or rat poison. Our team follows protocols from emergency hotlines (e.g., ASPCA Animal Poison Control) and provides 24-hour monitoring for potential hepatic or renal complications.

Our Medical Grooming services address skin conditions, mobility issues, and post-surgical care through sanitary shaves, anal gland expressions, and medicated baths. For pets unable to groom themselves, we provide gentle, thorough grooming to prevent infections and enhance mobility, particularly for geriatric or recovering animals.

We perform Anal Gland Expression to relieve impacted or abscessed anal glands, a common issue in dogs causing discomfort or scooting. This quick procedure prevents painful complications (e.g., infections) and is recommended during wellness exams or whenever symptoms appear.

We offer Acupuncture to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and stimulate healing for conditions like arthritis, neurological disorders, or post-surgical recovery. Licensed veterinary acupuncturists use precise needling techniques combined with herbal medicines to enhance rehabilitation and improve quality of life naturally.

Our Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation programs include underwater treadmills (hydrotherapy), massage, and assisted exercises to rebuild strength and mobility. These services are ideal for post-orthopedic surgery recovery, neurological patients, or geriatric pets, with plans customized to individual needs for optimal outcomes.
