Did You Know?
We see more fleas and ticks in the fall than during any other season! Usually we have "thaws" a few times each winter, as well, when we see bursts of tick activity. Remember to continue using flea and tick preventatives on any pet that goes outdoors all year round!
In addition, monthly heartworm preventative will help to prevent your pet from becoming infected with intestinal parasites, which can often be ingested by pets in the winter. It will also prevent heartworm transmission by mosquitos during the early and late winter months, if the weather becomes unseasonably warm for even a short time.
About Us
Albany County Veterinary Hospital is located in Albany, New York, in the town of Guilderland, right across the street from Stuyvesant Plaza. ACVH was founded in 1922 as a mixed large and small animal practice by Dr. John J. Wermuth, a Cornell graduate. Dr. Milford Becker, also a Cornell veterinarian, purchased the practice in 1952 and made the transition to a primarily companion animal practice in the 1960's, before selling it to Dr. Donald Dries in April 1977. Dr. Dries "passed the torch" to Dr. Virginia Jarvis in August of 2006. Our friendly, courteous healthcare team seeks to provide the best possible medical, surgical and dental care for the pets of Albany and Schenectady County and the Capital District Area. Our patients include not only dogs and cats, but rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, other small mammals and reptiles. Please take a moment to contact us today, to learn more about our veterinary practice. Find out why ACVH is Albany's Choice for Veterinary Healthcare!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
While kennels range from the barebones to the ultra-fancy, keep in mind that the frills are meant mainly for owners. The dog really doesn't care whether Chopin plays softly in his sleeping quarters. What is important is general safety and the friendliness and competence of the staff. Click Here To Read More
