Client Reviews & Testimonials

We at First Avenue Veterinary Hospital have been dedicated to providing quality veterinary care to the New York, NY community since 2017. We strive to treat your pets with the same care and compassion as if they were our own.

I absolutely love First Avenue Vet! My dog and I recently moved to the NYC area and picked First Avenue Vet because it was conveniently located near our apartment. They were always one phone call away and their walk-in appointments make it extremely easy to get medical advice for your furry friend on a moment’s notice. I cannot recommend this veterinarian enough because they genuinely care about the health and wellbeing of your pet and do their best to address your concerns!

The staff and doctor were amazing. They explain everything thoroughly and are super kind and caring. We come all the way from Brooklyn for them! Bring your fur baby, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Temple and her team are amazing! I've only had amazing experiences with First Ave Vet - all of the vet techs are so gentle, patient and personable, and the front desk staff are always willing to help, and always follow up to make sure everything is ok with our dog.You know a vet is amazing when they're honest with you. The team never tries to get you to do more than what is absolutely necessary, especially when pet care in NYC is so expensive. We've had a few really stressful situations with our dog, some while out of town, and the staff always keeps a pulse on what is going on and will happily help you navigate a situation over the phone. I'm so grateful to live near such a thoughtful, sane, veterinary hospital.
