We offer specialty medicine and 24/7 emergency/critical care for pets. Proud to be AAHA-accredited.

Long Island Veterinary Specialists (LIVS) is one of the most respected centers for specialized veterinary care. This reputation of excellence was forged over the years by dedicated and extensively trained professionals whose main goal is to provide the best advanced medical and surgical care. We at LIVS recognize the importance of the bond between companion animals and their families and strive to preserve and promote the quality and length of life of our patients. We appreciate the anxiety that pet owners experience when a beloved pet is confronted with an illness, and will do our best to reduce this anxiety by optimizing patient care as well as communication with pet owners and family veterinarians. Promoting and reinforcing the bond between pet owner, family veterinarian and the veterinary specialist is a fundamental principle of our hospital.

What an amazing time at the NY Vet Show 2026! We had such a wonderful time attending this year and working alongside our incredible Ethos Veterinary Health North East hospital family! One of the best parts of the event was connecting with so many amazing veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and fellow veterinary professionals from near and far who stopped by our booth to say hello! It was a fantastic opportunity to share ideas, make new connections, reconnect with familiar faces, and celebrate the passion we all have for veterinary medicine.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited our booth and to our fellow Ethos hospitals for making this such a fun and memorable experience!
One NVA/Ethos family, working together to make a difference in veterinary medicine!

OUR TECHS ROCK, AND GIL IS A CHAMPION!
What an incredible surprise during National Veterinary Technician Week! We are bursting as we celebrate our very own Gil, recipient of NVA's 2026 Veterinary Nurse Championship Award!
When critically ill patients need advanced imaging, anesthesia, or emergency surgery, Gil is someone our entire team can count on. From his exceptional expertise in complex neurological cases, MRI imaging, and advanced 3D CT reconstructions to his willingness to answer the call for emergency procedures on nights, weekends, and holidays, Gil consistently goes above and beyond for our patients. But what makes Gil truly special goes far beyond his technical skills. Having grown from a veterinary assistant into an extraordinary technician and team leader, he is always willing to share his knowledge, mentor others, and help his teammates succeed. Gil represents the very best of what veterinary medicine is all about.
What a wonderful moment it was for our LIVS family to come together and celebrate this well-deserved honor!

Congratulations, Gil! We are SO proud of you! Thank you for everything you do for our patients, their families, and your LIVS teammates. We are incredibly lucky to have you on our team!
