Spring is here, and so are fleas and ticks! 🐾 Warmer weather means more time outdoors—but it also means a higher risk for these pesky parasites. Keep your pets protected with year-round flea and tick prevention!
A recent graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Divya grew up in Chappaqua, NY, and now calls Tarrytown home with her fiancé, their adorable dog Rufus, and Zoink the cat (who apparently has other plans for her sleep schedule! 😹).
Outside of caring for our furry friends, Divya loves checking out new brunch spots 🍳, getting creative with embroidery 🧵, and traveling. ✈️
Fun fact alert! 🤩 Divya grew up with a golden macaw that sang Happy Birthday! 🦜🎂
We're so excited to have her passion and skills on our team! Welcome, Dr. Persaud! 💜

Our AMAZING Armory team is committed to helping as many pets as possible during this very challenging time. We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has offered their support. 💜
On March 27th, we had a devastating fire in our building. 😔🔥
We are so grateful that no one was hurt, but we are heartbroken by the loss of Dr. Burchman's cherished 50-year-old parrot, Smith, and his three companion parakeets. 💜🌈🐦🐦🐦
☺️We are deeply moved by the flood of outreach and support by the community, our clients, the town, and our partners. As Armory transitions into a temporary service structure of house-calls and mobile units, we will continue to support our staff, clients, and patients as best as we can. Any donations collected will first be directed to the tireless staff caring for patients and to help further provide services to those directly affected by the fire. Funds will be eventually transitioned towards a memorial for what has been lost.
To schedule an appointment or medication refill, please call (718) 367-4350 or email [email protected].
We stand together. 💪
We are Bronx Strong.
Thank you, PIX11 for your coverage and support.

Our hospital serves pet owners and their pets, and community veterinarians in Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester, Fairfield, Orange, Rockland and Bronx counties, and surrounding communities in the Northeast.
Guardian Veterinary Specialists is founded by Jason Berg, DVM, DACVIM, a highly respected, board certified neurologist and internist with over 22 years’ experience in practice and as a veterinary business founder and owner. A much sought-after lecturer and instructor, both nationally and internationally, Dr. Berg is also a published author with articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as the American Veterinary Medical Association, Veterinary Internal Medicine, and American Animal Hospital Association, among others. He has held multiple positions with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, and he is president of the Westchester Rockland Veterinary Medical Association. In addition, Dr. Berg has received numerous accolades and awards for his compassionate work with the shelter and rescue communities, and he is currently on the advisory board for the Westchester SPCA. Dr. Berg has devoted his life to practicing veterinary medicine with a difference. Incorporating compassion and sensitivity to pet parents and their pets with professionalism, integrity, and values, he strives to make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and toward advancing veterinary medicine. With the opening of Guardian Veterinary Specialists, Dr. Berg’s goals are to provide the most compassionate and expert medical care and the latest technological and therapeutic advances available anywhere to help pets back on the road to recovery and live happy and healthy lives to the fullest.

Using a collaborative team approach and working in concert with your family veterinarian, these medical experts focus entirely on providing the highest quality medical care to your pet to help ensure his or her recovery.
Ensuring that we meet all of our patients, clients, and referring veterinarians’ needs with unsurpassed medical expertise and advanced technology under one roof, our 2-level hospital houses 3 state-of-the-art surgery suites, 14 examination rooms, a large intensive care unit (ICU) and isolation ward.

Our entire staff is comprised of the most dedicated and compassionate individuals with a great love of pets, and we’ve devoted our lives to helping them. We’re pet owners ourselves and completely understand the stress and worry involved when a furry loved one becomes ill or injured. It’s our mission to help you and your pet in every way along the path from admission through diagnosis and treatment then recovery.
