Bay Shore Animal Hospital began its life as a local town animal shelter around the 1920's. The facility was then purchased by a veterinarian, Dr. Fake, around 1935 who opened the first animal hospital in Bayshore at that time. After passing hands to Dr. Sherman, the practice continued to flourish. Around 1968, Dr. Shapiro, who graduated first in his veterinary class at Cornell, brought the medicine and surgery to another level. The current, owner, Dr. Steven Dratch, began working with Dr. Shapiro in 1982 until he took over complete ownership in 1995. Under his guidance, the practice has grown even more building a strong reputation for quality and compassion. His associates, Dr. Terrel, and his newest member, his son, Dr. Joshua Dratch, all contribute to the hospital's success in various ways. With the combined efforts of this team, their expectations are to continue to elevate the level of medicine and surgery through new technologies and constant continuing education

Mission — It is the philosophy of Bay Shore Animal Hospital to give back to the community and therefore, enjoys working with many of the animal leagues on Long Island. The staff understands that although many people love their pets, they may not share the same economic conditions. Keeping that in mind, the doctors at Bay Shore Animal Hospital do everything they can to avoid compromising the quality of care in those situations. The priority has been, and will always continue to be, about the pet's quality of life and his or her importance to the family
