County Animal Hospital

Charlie is a small Shih Tzu-Bicon mix. He will be 2 years old in September. He is neutered. Charlie's owner is moving and can't take him with her. So he is lookiing for a new fur-ever home. Charlie is already neutered. Just look at that cute face and his dapper bow tie! If you are interested in adopting Charlie, Please call County Animal Hospital at 845-634-4607.

A Reminder: County Animal Hospital will be closed on Labor Day, Mon., September 2.

Happy August 1 oops, I mean HAPPY DOGUST 1 !! Today is the day to celebrate the birthdays of a shelter pet whose actual birthday is not known.

Here's one of Wendy's dogs, Bean.

As the July 4 holiday approaches, we just want to remind you that County Animal Hospital will be closed on Thursday, July 4. We will be open on Friday, July 5. Remember also to watch your pet(s) to be sure they don't get any foods they should not eat! If it is hot out, be sure to leave them plenty of water and be careful that the patio, cement, stones, etc. are not too hot to burn their paws! Don't forget that most dogs do not like loud sounds. See last week's post about fireworks with suggestions to make it less frightening for your dog.

We hope you and your pets have a fun and safe holiday weekend!

Fireworks entertain most of us (humans), but our pets? Not so much. Please take a look at the flyer below for some things you can do to make it safer for your pets. By the way, Dr. Weiner and Dr. Neiman, as well as our Licensed Techs, are all Fear Free Certified professionals. If you have any questions not answered below, be sure to call us at 845-634-4607 for guidance.

County Animal Hospital is closed on Thursday, July 4th. We are open on Friday, July 5th. We wish everyone a safe July 4th Celebration.

Happy 1st Birthday Clarice!! You may recall that last year some kittens were born on someone's porch and the homeowner brought them here. One of our Tech Assistants, Bridget, adopted one of those kittens. Yesterday Clarice turned one year old!! Here she is celebrating with a balloon and her dinner, disguised as a cake with a candle!!

UPDATE: If you already sent your pictures since yesterday, Please resend pictures to [email protected]

My apologies! One of the features of our new software is we can now attach a picture of our patients to their chart. When you are here, please ask if we have a picture of your pet(s) in their file. If we don't, please send us a picture to [email protected] so we can add it. This will assist all staff when connecting pets with their name and their owner. Be sure to state your pet's name in your email! We love to see those happy pups! Thanks. 🐾🐾🐾

As we posted last month, we recently changed our electronic medical records software. The transition went smoother than expected, but there are still some kinks that need to be smoothed out. One of those things is the appointment reminders we send you. If you receive an appointment reminder and you have recently been here or already have an appointment scheduled in the next month or two, please ignore the reminder that asks you to call us to make the appointment. We should have this fixed in the next few weeks.

We thank you VERY much for your patience. Thanks,
County Animal Hospital.

Thanks to everyone who inquired about and/or sent a resume regarding the open position of Kennel Attendant. Our offer was accepted by one of the candidates. This position is now filled. Thank you so much for your interest in working at County Animal Hospital.

Thank you everyone! We are very proud to continue to be a certified hospital of the American Animal Hospital Association AAHA as we have been for 53 years. The benefit is not the plaque on the wall…it’s the commitment to continual improvement by this wonderful hospital staff. Personally, I couldn’t be more proud of all the people that I am blessed to work with.

County Animal Hospital just completed the evaluation-again-with AAHA (American Animal Hospital Assoc.). This makes 53 years! Only 12% of Veterinary Practices are accredited. We are so proud to be one of them! GO TEAM!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxDe1a3NZ_E
