This came out of a dog this week. Tap through to see what it ate.

The dog is doing well. Keep the leftover Halloween candy up high. If your pet gets into it, call us right away at (631) 757-0522.

Most people think of ticks as a summer problem. On the North Shore the adult deer ticks are out in the fall, in the leaf litter and the tall grass along the trails, and this is the time of year we see the most of them.

Nothing to worry about, just worth a habit. After a walk in the woods, run your hands over your dog and check the ears, the armpits, under the collar and between the toes. Keep the monthly prevention going through the fall rather than stopping after summer.

Call us at (631) 757-0522 if you find one and aren’t sure how to remove it. We are glad to do it for you.

Meet Atlas, this handsome boy came in for his first puppy visit riding in the welcome home box his family made for him.

At nine weeks he has a full course of vaccinations ahead of him, which means we will be seeing a lot of this face between now and the holidays. No complaints here!

If you have a new puppy at home and are not sure what their first year of visits should look like, give us a call and we will walk you through it.

The Suffolk County Department of Health Services reported on September 10 that two more raccoons found in the county have tested positive for rabies. One was found outside a Northport residence on September 2, the other outside an Islip residence on September 3. There was no reported human or pet exposure to either animal.

These are the 41st and 42nd positive terrestrial rabies confirmations in Suffolk County since February 7, 2025.

Rabies is most often seen in raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes, but any mammal can be infected. The best protection for your dog or cat is a current rabies vaccine. If you are not sure when your pet was last vaccinated, call us at (631) 757-0522 and we will look up the date for you.

Do not touch or move a wild animal. If you see a raccoon acting abnormally, call the Suffolk County Police Department non-emergency line at 631-852-COPS or the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation at 631-444-0250.
