Dr. Monica Kennedy, a native New Yorker and the daughter of Irish immigrants, grew up in Marine Park, Brooklyn. She knew that she wanted to be a veterinarian since the age of five. While growing up she was always compelled to rescue and provide a safe haven for sick and abandoned pets. She also spent many summers on her grandmother's farm in Tipperary, Ireland caring for all of the farm animals.
The building of Sutton Animal Hospital has been a challenging and exciting journey for Dr. Kent-Miller and Dr. Kennedy. The hospital has the best medical diagnostic tools to give your feline and canine family members the personalized care they need and deserve. Every detail of construction has been carefully considered to insure your pet's optimal medical care.
Feeding for young kittens should be at least three times a day. When your kitten gets older, you can feed them twice a day. Kittens should ideally be on kitten diet until at least 6 months of age and then by 1 year of age, they should be transitioned to an adult formula. You may feed either dry food, canned food or a combination of both.
We highly recommend and promote spaying (females) and neutering (males) your puppy or adult dog. Spaying or neutering is generally performed at 6 months of age. Ideally, a female dog will be spayed prior to having a heat cycle. Multiple heat (estrus) cycles can lead to future infections within the uterus, mammary cancer, and uterine cancer.
Every year, thousands of pets go missing, and many don't make it back home. Even if your pet wears a collar and identification tag, collars can break and tags can become damaged and unreadable, so these forms of identification may not be enough to ensure your pet's safe return. The doctors at Sutton Animal Hospital recommend that your pet have a microchip placed.

We had been taking our puppy to Dr. Lily Primason for 3 months and loved her! She seemed like a wonderful vet (from what we could tell over the phone as the practice was not letting people inside since we began with them). When we went last week to get some pre-spaying blood work done, as of July 6th, the practice was still operating on a drop off only protocol. Once Dr. Primason was on the phone with me and we had exchanged hellos and she shared some basic pre-spaying info, I said I wanted to inquire about the ongoing drop off protocol as I was feeling very nervous about my dog being fixed due

Dr. Kent-Miller definitely misread and misdiagnosed my dog that cost my dog to suffer and put me on the wrong path for treatment. Feel free to read thoroughly for those who take an extra interest in their pets… health and well being.
I’m a trainer, of approx 10 years now. I brought my dog to her last W or Th saying that I thought my dog had a physical issue that might’ve been impacting him. He was yelping while doing certain actions (I couldn’t pinpoint them as they were sporadic and quick) inside the home for 3-4 days prior to our visit to Sutton. As a trainer, I thought

We love Sutton Animal Hospital! Dr. Kent-Miller and Dr. Kennedy are incredibly diligent and kind, and take amazing care of our two cats and our dog. Our rescue dog was diagnosed with heartworm when we adopted him, and the team at Sutton Animal Hospital was amazing with supporting us and our dog through the difficult 6 month treatment process. All the techs are so kind and caring, and our dog loves his visits. I would recommend them to anyone!

We are so grateful for Dr. Kennedy and her wonderful staff! Our pup Skip had a tough first year with tons of medical issues, including testing positive for heartworm. Through it all, Dr. Kennedy was kind, understanding, clear and thorough. We know Skip is in great hands with her and we're so thankful we found her!

The only regret I have is not knowing this amazing vet earlier.
Dr. Cuttler & Dr. Kent-Miller are compassionate & knowledgeable, we are grateful for the care and compassion they have provided to our dog. The supporting staff is awesome as well. If we have a pet again in the future, this is no doubt our first choice.

We have been going to Sutton Animal Hospital since we brought home our goldendoodle puppy in January and could not be happier! Both Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Kent-Miller are incredibly talented and very attentive. They make sure to fully explain any and all procedures, outline costs ahead of time and will take time to answer any questions to make sure you're completely comfortable and satisfied with their services. The staff is always very helpful and goes above and beyond to answer emails and return phone calls and check-in on the health of your animal as needed. I highly recommend Sutton Animal

They are very nice and competent but don't expect to be taken if your animal has an emergency.
On (3) separate occasions, I was told they are booked and I would have to wait a day or two, for emergency care.
If your animal is very sick, you can't wait!
They recommended that I take my dog to a Veterinary hospital instead...
If this happened once I could understand...BUT 3 times?!
I am moving to a different practice.

This is a terrific veterinary practice. I arrived in New York from Europe with a sick dog. Dr. Kent-Miller and the staff did an extraordinary job listening to what Elsa's symptoms were, and explaining to me the steps necessary to get her better.
When Elsa was bitten while I was away, they took care of her and got her stabilized.
My dog adores going to this vet.

I have to credit Yelp for this amazing find. My boyfriend and I just rescued a 2 year old terrier mix and needed a good vet in the neighborhood. I live on 78th and 1st, so Sutton vet was fairly convenient. The reviews for vets closer to us were not promising, so I decided to take a chance and go here based on the Yelp reviews I read.
I made an appointment with Dr. Kent-Miller and scheduling was easy. It was nice that the person answering the phone was helpful and somewhat knowledgeable about costs and what to expect, etc.
As a new pet owner, I was nervous for my first time at the vet and so

Expect to wait at least 30 minutes in their lobby, I have each of my 5 visits. They also "surprise" me with line items on the bill every time...including a cost to take a bandage off. They never warn me of things they have to do, like doing an annual exam (even though my dog had just had one.) Prices are insane and they offer no up front hint at where you'll end up cost wise.

Exceptional Quality animal care--a excellent diagnostician and a caring, thorough vet
And one who has treated my dogs from her beginnings in practice, when she was at Park East. When we moved away from NYC, she became our touchstone of how we evaluated other vets--we selected those that compared favorably to Dr. Kent-Miller, although nothing matched the original. Now I'm back in the city and so happy that I discovered Dr. Kent-Miller has opened her own practice. I no longer have to compare and contrast. I know I have the best!

I love the staff here! My dog is scared of everything. When we first arrived, he was a bit nervous, but he was able to warm up to the staff half way through the visit. The staff was incredibly loving, affectionate, patient and gentle with my dog. I feel very comfortable bringing my dog here and trust that he will be well taken care of.

Everyone in this practice is A-1! I have a feisty, 11 year-old Calico cat, and they treated her like gold when I brought her in. I was recommended to this practice by a family member, and I was very pleased with the way they handled my cat. Lucy had 4 mats and needed dental work. Dr. Kennedy took care of these problems in just one day! Now my cat… is running around like a kitten, purring all the time. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my baby.The people at the front desk also assist with the animals and you can tell that they really care. I would highly recommend the Sutton Animal

Dr. Kennedy has been caring for my Bull Terriers for years! When other vets wrote off my old Bully, Dr Kennedy was not certain their diagnosis was accurate and was able to have an additional 2 healthy years with him! For that I am eternally grateful!
This new office is amazing! My dog LOVES the amount of light that shines through and that he can people watch while waiting (which is a major stress reliever) :) I may travel far for visits, but it is well worth it!

Dr. Kent-Miller has been caring for my maltese for many years. Her kindness, expertise, strong network of specialist-consultants, and diligent problem solving gave my ZoZo extra years of wonderful life, letting her enjoy a fine old age. Now she looks after Mopsie, who loves her so much she dances into this beautiful new hospital eager to see her friends. We love her a lot, we trust her, and we rely on her. And we admire her mentorship in her field, and the staff she cultivates and empowers.
