What a wonderful facility! My cavalier puppy was really sick and I could not get an appointment at our regular vet. I was welcomed warmly at Peconic Bay by Kelly the receptionist and Victoria the Medical Assistant. They were wonderful and Dr. Frosch was so kind and gentle with my scared pup. They went above and beyond to take wonderful care of my little guy and he will be a regular patient at this facility. It was clean, modern and affordable. I highly recommend Peconic Bay Animal Hospital.
