Wolf Rock Animal Health Center

We help you achieve optimal wellness for your beloved companions through personalized, integrative care that honors your preferences and your animal’s unique need

Dr Liz Hassinger has known since childhood that she wanted to become a veterinarian—a dream rooted in her passion for science, deep love for animals, and naturally empathic nature. After earning a degree in Animal Science from the University of Rhode Island, she went on to graduate from Tufts Veterinary School in 1989 and completed a post-graduate internship in small animal medicine and surgery at a busy emergency and referral hospital in Rochester, NY. Though well-trained in conventional medicine, Dr. Hassinger often found herself telling clients, “I’m sorry, there’s nothing more we can do.” Determined to offer more, she began exploring additional ways to support her patients' health. Since 1995, she has pursued thousands of hours of advanced training in a wide range of alternative therapies, all while continuing her education in conventional care. In 1997, as a single mother of two young children, she founded Wolf Rock Animal Health Center with a clear mission: to provide veterinary care grounded in what is truly best for each patient. Free from corporate influence, Wolf Rock is an independently owned veterinary hospital centered on gentle, effective, and holistic approaches. Since then, Dr. Hassinger has helped thousands of animals live longer, healthier lives, and has built lasting bonds with the clients who trust her care—many of whom have stayed with the clinic throughout generations of beloved pets
