What Makes Us Different
The North Shore Veterinary Hospital’s Commencement Tale:
North Shore Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1931 on Vernon Valley Road in Northport, NY, by Dr. Arthur Fredericks upon his graduation from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. In the ’30s, Dr. Fredericks spent his early years as a farm veterinarian, caring for all types of animals.
In the early 1930s, people traveled on dirt roads via horse and buggy. Penicillin had not yet been invented and old wooden crates were used to house pets. Food scraps were collected from local restaurants to feed them, and boarding was only 25 cents a day.
Dr. Fredericks continued his veterinary career for the next 60 years, becoming a well-respected ‘character’ in the local community.
