About

At Saint Francis Hospital for Animals of Sayville and Oakdale, we understand the bond you share with your four-legged companion. In fact, it’s that same connection we share with our own pets that inspires us every day. It also allows us to relate to you and your pet on a more personal level.

Our mission is to provide exceptional medical care in an environment that feels safe, comfortable and homey. Unlike other hospitals that emphasize technology and modern treatment options, we believe these things come in second to a warm, personal touch. Our honesty, integrity and genuine love for animals have kept generations of pet parents coming back.

Puppies can certainly get up to no good! If you suspect that your pet has ingested something they shouldn't, it is always best to get them checked out. It's important to know where an item might be in the digestive tract, the potential for damage, and what your options are-- if an item might pass on its own, if it could puncture or tear something, or if it may need to be surgically removed.

#WalkWednesday🐾 This week's Walk Wednesday Tip of the Day is all about LEASHES, taken from an article by Mikkel Becker- a certified trainer, dog behavior counselor and the lead animal trainer for #FearFreeHappyHomes Types of Leashes ➡️Fixed-length leash: A standard, fixed-length leash is an absolute must because it's the perfect tool to help teach dogs to walk politely. Leashes that stretch or are retractable can actually teach and reinforce pulling behaviors. Instead, a fixed-length leash is just that, meaning there's no guesswork on the amount of space the dog can venture away from its owner before hitting the end of its rope (err … leash). The set length is important for teaching the dog that the freedom to move forward doesn't come until the dog feels slack instead of tension. There are a variety of options within the fixed-length family: 🐶LENGTH: A 6-foot leash is ideal for most dogs. A 4-foot leash increases the likelihood that the owner will grip too tightly on the leash without allowing for slack, thereby increasing the likelihood of tension in the dog (and increasing the likelihood of reactive behavior). 🐕MATERIAL: The standard nylon leash can be an excellent choice, but climbing rope material leashes are an increasingly popular option. Both materials are ideal for their strength, durability and limited flex. In most cases, a leash with built-in bungee stretch will cause challenges for owners trying to teach loose-leash walking skills. It can also make it more difficult to reel in the dog when needed. However, for owners with pain or mobility issues, these options can help reduce the jarring pull to joints if the dog suddenly lunges and hits the end of the leash. 🐩OTHER FEATURES: Some leashes are equipped with carabiner clips that allow for a quick clip to an eye bolt or around a fixed point (like a tree) for a hands-free training session or around the waist for a mobile, hands-free walk or training session. ➡️Rein in Retractable Leashes Retractable leashes prove problematic in almost all situations. These are not devices to use in crowded spaces like sidewalks, the veterinary office or a training class. Rather, they need to be limited to an open area, such as a large park, where the dog can actively move and sniff with freedom without impeding upon other dogs. If using a retractable leash while leash training, use a back clip harness rather than one that clips in the front or clipping the leash to a flat collar. This can help the dog differentiate the situation and, by extension, reduce the unwanted pulling. ➡️Waist-Worn Leashes Waist-worn leashes are excellent hands-free options for jogging and multitasking situations (such as pushing a stroller and walking the dog at the same time). They can also work well for dog-training class or training while out on walks as the owner's hands are free to reward the dog for right behaviors. Look for waist-worn leashes with a quick-release option in the event of an emergency, such as the Buddy System Hands Free Leash. 🏃‍♀️Jogging-specific leashes may use a stretchy material for the length of the leash. This can be beneficial for reducing the jolt to both the owner and the dog as changes in pace or direction are made. However, for teaching and retaining loose-leash walking skills, the stretch can cause problems. ➡️Long Line Leash: Long line leashes allow the dog to have more freedom without the owner losing control. Lengths vary, but 15-, 20- and 30-foot options are common. Long line leashes are a better way to allow a dog to explore at the end of its leash than retractable ones. Like retractable leashes, these are best used in open areas where the dog has enough space to explore without interfering with others. Check back next week for more tips!

Although ear infections in cats are rare, they can still occur. These are a few factors that may contribute to your cat having an ear infection.
Let's try a poison prevention awareness trivia question: One day, when Covid-19 is over and you're having friends over, you put out a tray of snacks on a low table. Some sliced red apples, some carrot sticks, a bowl of macadamia nuts, a bowl of popcorn, and cheddar cheese with ritz crackers. Before you know it, your puppy has helped herself to some of everything! You call us right away (because timing is always important when your dog eats something she shouldn't). We're going to ask you for your dog's approximate weight, how much she ate, and how recently. After eating such a variety of anything, we would expect your pup to experience some GI upset, possibly vomiting and diarrhea. But something at your dinner party is a bigger concern: which of these snacks is a potential neurotoxin, causing lethargy, fever, difficulty walking, and more? 🤔

#PetPoisonPreventionMonth Let's try another poison prevention trivia question! 🤓 You have a mostly indoor cat who has a habit of getting out to explore your yard once in a while. You know he likes to nibble things. It's finally springtime and you're picking up some new plants for your garden. You choose some mint, roses, daffodils, sunflowers, and impatiens. ⚠️Wait! Which of these pretty flowers (along with the stems and leaves) can cause vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias if consumed by your cat🤔? *Remember- eating anything foreign can cause some GI upset, and spiky plants cause their own problems, but certain plants are more toxic than others.
