Our team handles urgent medical situations during regular business hours and coordinates immediate referrals for overnight care or complex surgical cases. We maintain partnerships with local emergency hospitals to ensure continuous care for critical patients while offering immediate triage and stabilization services at our facility.
Pet Dental Care
Our veterinary dental services include comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, and treatment for periodontal disease. Using digital dental radiography, we diagnose and address tooth decay, gum infections, and oral trauma. Our team performs dental prophylaxis procedures to maintain oral health and prevent systemic diseases that can originate from poor dental hygiene in pets.
Diagnostic Imaging
We offer advanced diagnostic imaging services including digital radiography and ultrasound for accurate internal examinations. Our board-certified radiologists provide rapid interpretations of X-rays and ultrasounds to diagnose conditions affecting bones, organs, and soft tissues. This technology enables early detection of issues like fractures, tumors, and organ abnormalities while minimizing radiation exposure for patients.

The team utilizes modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment to ensure patient safety. We perform orthopedic repairs, tumor removals, and emergency surgeries while maintaining strict sterile techniques and post-operative care protocols for optimal recovery.
Wellness Exams
Regular wellness examinations form the foundation of our preventative care approach. During comprehensive nose-to-tail assessments, we evaluate body condition, organ systems, and dental health while monitoring for early disease indicators.

Report
Our pets have been treated at Otterkill for over a decade. All seemed to be fine until this June when following up from a trip to Emergency Care on Route 211, Middletown, NY, Dr Melanie examined my dog and her initial diagnosis was lymphoma. Urgent care MISSED that one and as far as I am concerned so did Otterkill since my dog had an full exam in April with all the blood work and I was informed all was fine.
How her health went from fine to stage 4 lymphoma in 2 months seems like a major miss. When I brought this up I was informed that I took good care of my dog who took top notch supplements and was fed human grade food that the vet did not believe this could happen, but it did. I continued with holistic supplements until she passed away on August 6th. That morning I notified Otterkill and DID NOT receive any call or sympathy card or anything, since then. You would think a simple I am sorry about your loss would have been professional and compassionate, BUT NOTHING. My advice please be your vet and advocate.

I always feel like they treat my dog Minnie like she is one of their own. Minnie always comes back to me with her tail wagging.

Took off work for appointment. Canceled my appointment 15mins before as I was driving there. This is after they sent me a text saying see you at 5. She knew I took off work for this. Told me I could come next morning at 9:30, which means I would have to take off work again. I wouldn't be upset but they could of called me sooner, not 15 mins before as I was driving. Told them I'll find another vet. Such garbage on their part.
