Companion Pet Hospital is thrilled to offer world-class service to companion animals while continually expanding our knowledge and skillsets. Our hospital has been AAHA-accredited for twenty-five years, and we are proud to be certified as a Fear-Free and Cat-Friendly Practice. Our hospital is host to a very experienced team that delivers individualized, respectful services with an emphasis on owner education. Companion Pet Hospital is very active in the community that has given so much back to us. We currently partner with several rescue groups to provide physical exams to shelter animals.

No matter the service, we strive to ensure we are offering pets the best possible attention and care they can receive, whether that is preventative care, dentistry, or surgery. We offer personalized health care packages for puppies and kittens, mature adults, and animals in their senior years. Companion Pet Hospital is equipped with the latest technology to perform routine and more complex surgeries. We offer spays and neuters in addition to soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery if necessary. To maximize pet wellness, our team specializes in integrative medicine techniques including laser therapy and acupuncture when pets are not responding to conventional medicine.

Fishkill is an upscale town in southern New York. This city retains the communal atmosphere it did four centuries ago while providing residents with a suburban lifestyle. While still in the NYC metropolitan area, Fishkill is surrounded by nature trails, sandy lake beaches, and bubbling brooks. Explore acres of state parks, take the kids for a splash at SplashDown Beach, or enjoy locally brewed cider. Fishkill offers residents a breath of fresh air and a healthy work/life balance with convenient access to all New York City has to offer.
