Company Description

Your Future as a Veterinarian Starts Here!

At Woodbury Animal Hospital, we are delighted to welcome you and your pet into our caring veterinary community. Our friendly veterinary team is committed to making each visit as comfortable as possible, providing personal attention and the highest quality veterinary care. Whether it’s a routine veterinary checkup or a special health concern, we treat every pet like family and strive to make you feel right at home in our veterinary hospital.

Woodbury Animal Hospital has provided comprehensive veterinary care to the Long Island community for over 15 years.

Our experienced veterinary team offers preventive veterinary care and wellness veterinary services for pets at every stage of life, as well as a range of veterinary surgical services such as dental procedures, spays, neuters, and mass removals.

For specialized or emergency veterinary needs, we maintain strong partnerships with local veterinary specialists to ensure your pet receives the best possible veterinary care, even after hours.

Woodbury is a hamlet in Nassau County’s Town of Oyster Bay. The community is known for its peaceful, tree-lined neighborhoods and convenient access to shopping, dining, and major Long Island destinations.

Woodbury has a population of about 9,000, with spacious homes, highly rated schools, and a strong sense of community. School district boundaries can vary by neighborhood, and residents value privacy, green space, and safe, quiet streets.

Woodbury’s location provides easy access to shopping and dining along Jericho Turnpike, as well as attractions in Syosset, Plainview, and Cold Spring Harbor. The area is more residential than tourist-oriented, but its proximity to parks and cultural sites enhances quality of life.

Residents benefit from an easy commute to other parts of Long Island and New York City via nearby highways and the Syosset LIRR station. The local lifestyle balances comfort, convenience, and access to both suburban and city amenities.
