Whether you adopted your beloved four legged friend from us or rescued them elsewhere, your pet will receive the best possible medical care at affordable rates. Each time you bring them to our Pet Health Center, located on Animal League America’s Port Washington, N.Y. campus, you are supporting our no-kill mission – with every dollar going towards our mission to Rescue, Nurture, Adopt and Educate! That means that not only are you providing top-notch care for your pet, but you are also helping orphaned animals receive quality care and the chance to be adopted into loving homes.

Our veterinarians and medical staff are compassionate and enthusiastic, and provide incredible care at very affordable rates. We are a full service facility with state of the art equipment including digital radiology, endoscopy, on-site laboratory, oxygen therapy, ultrasound, and a full dental suite.

A lifetime of affordable care for your beloved pets

American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)

North Shore Animal League America’s Alex and Elisabeth Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center is proud to be accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association. Fewer than 15% of animal hospitals in the U.S. hold this distinction.
