We have taken this puppy off the Fulton Police Department’s hands and he is now in our care. He was positive for Parvovirus, so he has a long way to go but we are hoping to get him healthy again and ready for a new home in the future ❤️ please keep him in your prayers. We just couldn’t put him to sleep 🥺

We had a gosling come in yesterday, tied up in fishing line with a hook through her foot. With some TLC from the FAH staff, she was able to be reunited with her family today. This is why we love what we do!🥰🥰🥰

05/23/2024

We are closed tomorrow (Friday) through Monday. We will reopen Tuesday after the holiday

04/25/2024

We will be closing at 5PM today rather than 6PM due to a staffing shortage. Thank you for your understanding!

04/18/2024

This is a reminder that starting next week (4/22) we will be open 8AM-6PM Monday through Thursday and closed Friday-Sunday. This is a permanent change of our office hours until otherwise announced.

God bless our officers. They literally risk their lives every single day. We pray for these families as they struggle through this senseless tragedy 🖤💙🖤💔

As the community wakes up to this overnight tragedy, we want to offer our condolences to the families of those heroes affected by this senseless act.

To our brothers and sisters in blue, thank you for your continued service to the community. You are always in our thoughts and prayers as you work early mornings, late nights, holidays, weekends and birthdays to keep the community safe.

Stay safe and be vigilant.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God”

Major announcement….
Effective 4/22/2024, we will be altering our weekly business hours to better balance our patient workload and provide our hard working staff with adequate down time. We will now be open Monday - Thursday from 8:00am - 6:00pm and closed Friday - Sunday. Previously we were closed Thursday and open Friday so we're just swapping one day for another to allow uninterrupted down time for our staff.

As you may or may not know, the veterinary field is in a dire situation and there are not enough veterinarians to meet the needs of many communities. We have been plagued by this as well and have been without additional licensed professionals for nearly one year. On a daily basis we are working tirelessly, often without a lunch break, to ensure we can keep up with the demand for veterinary medical care. We always do our best to be there for our patients and serve our community, however, this is a very difficult time in the profession.

We offer several same day sick appointment slots, however, those slots are only available the day of and cannot be scheduled in advance. In the event an emergency occurs at the end of business hours or outside of business hours, we have a list of emergency and urgent care facilities that should be available if the need arises. This is the same as in human medicine. Urgent care and emergency facilities are available for urgent appointments that cannot be dealt with in a primary care office.

Once we find a veterinarian to join this amazing team and help alleviate some of our workload, we will expand our hours to provide additional availability. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time and know that we always do our best to provide the best patient care!

04/01/2024

We will be closed Thursday the 4th through Sunday the 7th this week while Dr. Dattellas is out of town. We apologize for the inconvenience in advance!

In case you had questions…

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — We know that we need to view the eclipse safely, but do our pets know that? Of course, animals don’t normally look at the sun, but do pet owners have anything to be…

PLEASE READ TO THE END…

We are decreasing our hours of operation due to the inability to find a veterinarian after several YEARS of searching. We understand your pets need care, and we absolutely sympathize with you when your pet is in distress. There is a national crisis in veterinary medicine and the industry as a whole is suffering terribly. We only have one vet for the time being. We will continue to search, but we have been looking for a long time. Every practice is hiring in the area and we are trying our best to fill this void. We have a very large caseload and we are trying to keep up as best we can. Please understand that this does not mean we do not care. Until we are successful in finding a veterinarian, our hours will be as follows:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8AM-6PM.
We will remain closed Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

We have several same-day appointments available for sick pets if you call at 8AM. These appointments fill up quickly. Please remain on hold when you are put on hold. When you hang up, you go to the end of the line. We understand our hold times can be long at times, but we are very busy. We also have a cancellation list that we work through each day. We promise we are doing our very best to keep up!! As soon as we are able to extend our hours, we will do so immediately. Please be patient, we are EXTREMELY frustrated as well.

11/22/2023

This is just a reminder that we will be closed all next week. Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We are thankful for all of you and your beloved pets!!!

11/13/2023

We will be closed the week of 11/27 while Dr. Dattellas is on vacation and cannot find a relief veterinarian to cover. We apologize for this inconvenience!! We will put up a reminder post as we get closer. Surgeries and tech appointments that are already booked will continue as scheduled.
