From a kitten’s first visit to a senior dog’s ongoing care, we’re here for every stage of your pet’s life — with the kind of attentive, familiar service that comes from decades in one community.

Why Choose Miller Place Animal Hospital
Our accreditation tells much of the story: we earned our 50th consecutive year of American Animal Hospital Association accreditation in 2024. Only about 15% of animal hospitals in the U.S. and Canada are accredited at all, and fewer than 1% have held that standard for 50 years. Accreditation means we’re regularly evaluated against hundreds of standards covering patient care, safety, equipment, and more — a level of accountability that not every practice takes on.
Beyond the credentials, what sets us apart is longevity and familiarity.
We’ve been a staple of this community since 1968, welcoming pet families from Miller Place, Rocky Point, Mount Sinai, Port Jefferson, Stony Brook, and the surrounding towns. Our doctors and support staff know their patients, remember their families, and uphold the highest standards of veterinary medicine and surgery at every visit.

“I took my dog, Buddy, to the Miller Place Animal Hospital for the first time. Everyone there was so nice, thoughtful, and very caring. They were so good with Buddy. He’s a senior dog, and their kindness was so obvious. I found Dr. Hirsch to be excellent. He and his assistant were both very thoughtful and caring. I am very happy Buddy will continue to be their patient. It was a very nice experience and a good decision. I truly feel Buddy is in very capable hands and that he will always be well cared for.”
