Dr. Jack Bregman graduated from the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary Medicine in 1966. He established the first of the Bregman Veterinary Group hospitals in 1970 in the Midwood Section of Brooklyn. His son Eric joined the practice in 1995 and his son Allan joined the group in 2002. In June of 1998, the Bregman Veterinary Group expanded to Williston Park Long Island with the purchase of The Cat Hospital.
The Cat Hospital is a feline only practice that offers a full array of veterinary care for your feline pet in a quiet, stress free environment. In 1999 we established the Feline Hyperthyroid Treatment Center at The Cat Hospital. For the last twelve years, we have been able to offer Radioactive Iodine therapy for hyperthyroid cats.

The American Veterinary Medical Association provides a website full of resources for clients and veterinarians alike. The Companion Animal Parasite Council Website is a fantastic resource for pet owners.
Laparoscopy (also known as minimally invasive surgery or videoscopic surgery) has allowed surgeons to perform the same procedures as in traditional open surgery, using small incisions (keyhole surgery) instead of large abdominal incisions. Studies have shown major benefits to the patient in terms of reduced post operative pain, increased post operative comfort, reduced hospital stay and quicker return to normal physical activities.
What is Hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism is a metabolic disease that is caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone. It is most often caused by a benign tumor of the thyroid gland.

A solid good place that does really care. I am fairly blunt myself so I love the honest communication that happens here and I don't see the issue with it. Front desk staff is the kindest and sweetest. I ask a million question and am not the easiest, they are great!! The doctor knows his stuff and does indeed really care about animals. I have a few friends who feel the same about this place, it really deserves more credit than it gets. They always take care to save us money as well.

DO NOT GO here if you have an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL. They charge $50 per AIRLINE to fill out a single page form.
This used to be a good place to go in Williamsburg. It has changed.
Poor bedside manner from Mr Bregman.
If you decide to go, see the female veterinarian. That is the best advice I can give.
Vaccinate elsewhere.

I am so grateful for Dr. Allen, Aja and team! I felt I was wildly taken advantage of by my previous vet visit in Greenpoint, so gave Paws N Claws a shot and feel so much better!
My poor kitty got a case of worms, and the previous vet was expensive, and didn't even cure my cat (also very rude). After noticing the problem had not been solved, I took my cat to Paws and Claws.
The team at Paws N Claws saw my cat right away, was affordable, timely, and even threw in some free high-fiber food for his diet! I am confident with the medication Dr. Allen prescribed and very happy they are here to

Mosalita and I had been coming to this place for 7 years. She was not a fan of vet hospitals but was always treated well by the medical staff.
Recently she was diagnosed with IBS and we tried different diets but the weight continued to fall off. She started to deteriorate rapidly.
This week my 13 year old cat Mosailta who was now very much under weight had stopped eating all together. She was projectile vomiting and the prognosis was not looking at all good. On Thursday after she collapsed I called and was given a 1pm appointment.
Dr Bregman and his staff were very understanding as I came

SUMMARY: This vet appears to know his stuff, but he is overdramatic in his delivery, defensive when asked questions and withholds information as he sees fit. In particular he misled me about a controversial vaccine and ordered a more expensive test than was needed. Not the vet for me.
DETAIL: I came here with two young kittens. Before they even were out of the carrier, this vet told me they were some of the sickest cats he's ever seen and I needed to prepare for their long, emotional, and expensive journey to recovery. I knew the kittens had an upper respiratory infection, but I was surprised

This clinic charged me $375 for a heath certificate for travel(!!!), a visit that took 30 min or less and required NO vaccines/treatments, simply a signed piece of paper stating that my pet is good for travel. I was absolutely shocked when the receptionist told me the amount (I should have asked for an estimate before hand but could never have imagined it was almost $400).
I even called other vets in the area afterwards to compare their prices for this and no one even charges half what this clinic charges. Another clinic closest to them charge only $106! Total rip-off froths place.

I absolutely love the staff here. Dr. Bregman is so nice and patient with my less than friendly cat (he's so skiddish). The location is great and the prices are the lowest in the area. Their vaccination prices were half of what a vet wanted to charge me at a place in Greenpoint. They have weekend appointments, which is pretty much all that will work with my schedule. Also, there is always plenty of parking out front (at least there is on Saturday). Highly recommended!

This place is cold.
Started coming here with our two new Italian Greyhound pups last winter. The doctors and staff always felt very terse and unhelpful. Webster, our boy, had giardia shortly after we brought him home so we started out vaccinations on an uneven timeframe. There was never any willingness to help from front desk staff to schedule the appointments together to minimize office fees. It was a minor annoyance, but nothing major.
He seemed to pick up a parasite again in the summer so we brought him back in. We brought a fecal sample and left with a medicinal plan (Metronidazole) to

Been going to this vet for a while. I have 2 dogs and one cat. For a while I didn't understand the negative yelp reviews- but now I do.
Recently they brought a new vet on staff- fresh out of college. Unfortunately this doctor really doesn't know what she's doing. Not to mention she's on schedule like five days a week. She never as answers and it's completely frustrating. Recently our male cat was having urinary issues and the doctor only took an ultrasound, said his bladder was inflamed, gave us general antibiotics and didn't know what else to tell us. The next day

Worst service ever. 2 years ago they wouldn't get me an emergency visit for my 14 year old Italian greyhound. She died at another vet 2 hours later.
Today I call and ask if they sell dog food for my 11 year old mutt who has a bladder stone and am told I need a prescription. The empty bag from my current vet isn't good enough--they need a prescription (my current vet doesn't open for another hour) or its a $50 visit. Really? It's dog food--not xanax. It's funny how a simple call for dog food reminds me why I would never take my 3 dogs or 2 cats here for anything but
