At Bay Shore Animal Hospital, our staff has more than eight decades of veterinary experience and provides exceptional, outstanding services. Our practice belongs to numerous associations including - the Long Island Veterinary Association, the New York State Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Heartworm Society. Call us today for unparalleled assistance. Bay Shore Animal Hospital began its life as a local town animal shelter around the 1920's. The facility was then purchased by a veterinarian, Dr. Fake, around 1935 who opened the first animal hospital in Bayshore at that time. After passing hands to Dr. Sherman, the practice continued to flourish. Around 1968, Dr. Shapiro, who graduated first in his veterinary class at Cornell, brought the medicine and surgery to another level. The current, owner, Dr. Steven Dratch, began working with Dr. Shapiro in 1982 until he took over complete ownership in 1995. Under his guidance, the practice has grown even more building a strong reputation for quality and compassion. His associates, Dr. Terrel, and his newest member, his son, Dr. Joshua Dratch, all contribute to the hospital's success in various ways. With the combined efforts of this team, their expectations are to continue to elevate the level of medicine and surgery through new technologies and constant continuing education. The hospital provides all types of veterinary care, including digital X-rays, in-house laboratory with immediate blood results' capability, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, ultrasound, and dentistry. A majority of the animal hospital's staff has been employed there for years and has developed a close relationship with their clients and patients.
