Our clients are our neighbors as well as customers, and we value your continued trust and goodwill. Courtesy, Patience, and Excellence in Service are our highest priorities.

Our Facility: Greenwood Lake Animal Hospital’s facility has been completely renovated and expanded to incorporate the newest technology and enhance patient and client comfort. We take great pride in our clean and friendly office. Our equipment is up-to-date and well maintained.

We provide quality, physical examinations to evaluate pet's overall health. Eyes, ears, heart and lung sounds, teeth and gums, skin and weight are assessed.

 

Our Story: Established in 2014, we offer a unique approach to high-quality, affordable pet wellness care. Our founders, veterinarians Susan Sickels, DVM, and R. Reed Stevens, DVM identified unmet needs for dogs and cats within the community, inspiring the creation of our clinic.

Areas of Care:

• Complete physical exams
• Vaccinations
• Common health concerns (fleas, ticks, ear infections, allergies, worms, etc.)
• Educating pet owners on how preventing disease is less expensive than curing them

Our Values: Compassion, affordability, and excellence are at the heart of everything we do.

Our Mission & Goals: Our mission is to provide accessible veterinary care to all pet owners, regardless of their financial situation. We strive to ensure that every animal receives the professional attention and treatment they deserve, promoting their health and happiness.
