Hometown Care at Shop City Animal Hospital

Here at VCA Shop City Animal Hospital our mission is to provide the best quality of veterinary medicine for each and every pet. We provide services to all of Central New York including Dewitt, Lyncourt, Mattydale and Liverpool.

Our compassionate and friendly staff believes in the strength of the human-companion animal bond and treats each and every patient as if it was our own. We are also firm believers in education, not only for our staff, but for our clients as well. All of our medical staff undergoes a rigorous continuing education program so that we are always up to date with the latest diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. You can rest assured that we will take the time to help you understand each and every diagnostic test being performed on your pet.

With three wonderful doctors and available weekend and evening hours, we have the flexibility to accommodate your busy schedule. We will see each and every pet that comes through our doors whether it be on an emergency, medical or routine preventative visit. Our doctors also have the backing of a large network of VCA hospitals and specialists across the nation. We perform the most reliable and advanced diagnostic testing available in veterinary medicine, though our Antech Diagnostics division.

Local Medical Issues

In our local area, we have certain medical concerns that every pet owner should be aware of. Heartworm disease can affect cats as well as dogs, and preventions should be given throughout the entire year. Internal and external parasites can affect pets and people and should likewise be treated year-round with preventative medicine. Lyme disease has also become a big problem in our area. Even right in the city! We definitely recommend yearly testing as well as preventions.
