About Us

In 1977, a group of Suffolk County’s leading veterinarians joined together to establish ANIMAL EMERGENCY SERVICE, P.C. The reason was simple: creating a strong connection between veterinarians and the emergency hospital produces a greater continuity of care for all of their patients. Today, we’re proud to have two exceptional emergency hospital locations in Commack and Selden. We feature the most comprehensive and compassionate professional emergency services, as well as continuous care for injured and critically ill animals. We also provide prompt relief for a wide variety of non-life threatening ailments and injuries that are nevertheless quite painful and of serious concern to a caring pet owner. Our fully trained office staff and technicians, and our experienced veterinarians, make sure that when you and your pet need us most, we are here for you.
