Services
We are veterinarians dedicated to helping owners make the most of the time they spend with their pets. Since 1948 and throughout our history, keeping animal companions in the best of health has remained at the core of all we do, all because we know how important your pet is to you and your family. At Long Animal Hospital, we approach the work we do every day with a few simple goals, and one simple mission in mind.
When we first opened our doors, way back in 1948, Long Animal Hospital was a small neighborhood clinic with only a few staff members and basic care services for dogs and cats. While many things have changed since then, our mission as a hospital has remained the same: an unwavering commitment to excellence, doing whatever it takes to help our clients get the most out of their relationship with their pets.
Long Animal Hospital provides cutting-edge veterinary medical services that meet AAHA's accredited standards for your healthy, sick, or injured pet. Your animal companion will always receive the gentle and compassionate care he or she deserves, whether it's a simple vaccination or a complex surgery that requires intensive treatment.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest procedures in recorded history. Traditional Chinese medicine formed the basis of acupuncture (needling certain spots on the body regulates the flow of Qi (energy) which flows through the body nourishing the tissues and organs. We are slowly working on understanding the full biochemical and neurological basis of acupuncture based on research and publications that are occurring on a regular basis.
Learn the symptoms of pet allergies to stay aware, and alert your veterinarian to help keep your dog or cat protected. Depending on the nature of your pet's allergic reaction, our veterinarians will be able to assist in controlling long-term effects. However, there is no cure for allergies. Our goal is to reduce the severity of symptoms through preventive measures and by eliminating allergens wherever we can.

We went to Long for the first time due to an emergency situation with our dog .. during the pandemic.. and they were amazing. They were quick and diligent regarding the situation and made us feel very at ease, especially since we couldn’t be with our girl since we had to sit in the car. We were hooked ever since.
Friendly staff and very knowledgeable!

I can't praise this hospital enough. My baby and I were treated with the utmost respect and care. I drove 3 hours to this emergency to get an electrocardiogram for my dog. When I finally arrived I was told one of the doctors who performs the procedure was not working that day and I would have to wait until the next day. When the receptionist saw the look on my face she immediately went into action. The vet tech took us in a room and he was absolutely remarkable. I explained to him my situation which he had already reviewed all the paperwork from the specialty hospital in my area and he immediately

Very disappointed in this place. Based on the reviews, I anticipated having a good experience. I took in a stray cat to get examined for a microchip, and they were able to do that. But when I asked if I could schedule an appointment sometime that week or later, I was completely dismissed. Luckily, a patron heard the rude exchange and suggested other facilities to take the cat for care. I understand that there is a shortage of staff at many places, but kindness and compassion was lacking. Not to mention, the facility waiting area was extremely dirty. There was dog urine on the floor.

I had an emergency with my dog on Saturday night and while it was a scary and terrible experience for us both, I am so glad I took her here! This was my first time here but the staff immediately took care of us. Dr. Mark was an amazing doctor who took the time to explain everything to me and promptly treated her which I believe saved her life. She had to spend the night at the hospital as well and I received an update in the morning and I was also allowed to visit. They monitored her the rest of the day which shows she received great care and they made sure she really was okay before sending her

Our baby had a bloody nose early this am. We called our neighborhood vet that we have used for a while and they could not fit her in. We went to Long and were treated with the utmost compassion and care. The owners are wonderful and so was DR Deller. Long Animal Hospital ,unlike most vets , are compassionate and allow you to be in with your babies while they receive treatment as long as you are wearing a mask. The pandemic has been so cruel to everyone and has affected the dogs and cats and their owners that have separation anxiety. The dear people at Long Animal Hospital recognize this and are

We admitted our cat with some pretty extensive respiratory issues late on a Tuesday. She has a history of asthma. We did have a referral from the nearest UrgentVet (we went there first since it was closest), but Long was very quick to take care of our kitty. They monitored her through the night on oxygen & called us with an update the next morning. I was thankful for their care. Very informative & understanding.

This animal hospital is incredible! My dog had been having serious stomach issues for about a week. I walked in for a checkup at 7:30AM on a Thursday and was in and out of the hospital in 1 hour. I know their wait times can be much longer but our experience was short & very helpful. The staff was excellent, from the front desk to the doctor herself. They treated my dog Spoon with the utmost care at an affordable rate! I feel I would have paid very similar for the same visit/medications at my normal vet. Will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Puppy shaved. I waited a week to write this post. My Yorkipoo gets matted hair pretty easily, he loves running in wet grass and he wiggles away from me when I brush him. Petco and pet smart won’t accept him because of his matted fur. So I decided I need to start at ground zero. So, I took him to LAH. They shaved him completely! Didn’t speak to anyone about an assessment beforehand. I called back the next day because his behavior turned aggressive and distant. I noticed that his skin was “hot” maybe inflamed. No bumps or cuts. The vet recommended Benadryl if bumps appear (but no bumps).

I have been taking my Schnauzer here for 12 years. Dr. Brown (the only Veterinarian we have ever seen) is very caring, takes the time to thoroughly examine her and truly tries to understand/figure out any issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Brown. The staff is pretty efficient with checking patients in and getting you to a room. They now are a 24 hour emergency hospital. I recently had a friend that had to put their dog down due to serious health issues and she said Long's was amazing for what is just a horrible situation. Long's quickly got them in a private room, calmed the dog and let them
