SHOEMAKER AVENUE ANIMAL HOSPITAL
hoemaker Avenue Animal Hospital was originally opened in 1979 by Dr. Robert Bishop. Upon his retirement, in April 2013, Dr. Sara McGarry, a native of the Greater Pittston Area, took over the practice with Dr. Bishops blessing.
Since Dr. McGarry has owned the practice there have been many advancements made, all of which have be in an effort to continue to provide high quality medicine throughout the life of your furry family members. We understand that the human-animal bond is very special and aim to treat you pet as if they were our own.
Waiting Room Policy: For the protection of your pet, as well as other pets in our office, all dogs must be on a leash and properly controlled. All cats must be in a carrier.
Appointments and Emergency Care: We operate primarily by appointment and do our best to accommodate your schedule when making an appointment. We also try to get your pet in for an appointment as soon as possible, especially when they are not feeling well. Please understand that our appointments generally fill up quickly and while we try to reserve time for unexpected sick exams every day, there are times when we do not have immediate or next day openings. In times when your pet needs emergency services, there are two local emergency hospitals that are open 24/7 for your pet’s needs. We always make our best attempt to see your pet as quickly as possible, but in the event we are unable to see your pet in a timely manner, we ask that you consider taking them to one of the Emergency hospitals to allow for immediate care. In the event that your pet is seen at the Emergency hospital we of course encourage you to follow up with our office so that we can provide any follow up care that is needed.
