Animal Hospital of Sullivan County combines AAHA accredited care, military leadership, and compassionate veterinary service.

For more than seven decades, the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County has been a trusted resource for pet owners throughout Sullivan County and the Catskills region of New York. Built on a foundation of service, compassion, and medical excellence, the family owned veterinary hospital has earned a reputation for delivering high quality care while maintaining the close relationships that define community based medicine.

Today, the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County continues to stand apart through its combination of military heritage, AAHA accredited standards, long standing community trust, and a commitment to treating every patient and client like family.

A Legacy Founded On Service

The Animal Hospital of Sullivan County was founded in 1953 by Dr. Stanley Glick, a World War II U.S. Army veteran. From its earliest days, the practice was built around a simple mission: providing dependable veterinary care for local families and their beloved pets.

As the community grew, so did the hospital. Over the decades, the practice became known for developing long term relationships with clients, maintaining a family oriented approach to care, and investing in the equipment, protocols, and training necessary to support high quality veterinary medicine.

This commitment to continuity has remained one of the hospital's defining characteristics, supported by a dedicated team and low staff turnover that allows clients to see familiar faces year after year.

A New Era Of Leadership

In 2001, the practice entered a new chapter when Dr. Barbara Bodolosky purchased the hospital.

Like the founder before her, Dr. Bodolosky also served in the U.S. Army. A graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 1993, she brings more than 35 years of veterinary experience to the practice.

Her military service included participation in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm, experiences that helped shape a leadership philosophy centered on discipline, accountability, service, and responsibility.

Those values continue to influence the culture of the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County today, creating an environment where professionalism and compassion work hand in hand.

The Only AAHA Accredited Veterinary Hospital In Sullivan County

One of the hospital's most significant distinctions is its long standing accreditation through the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).

For more than 25 years, the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County has maintained AAHA accreditation and remains the only AAHA accredited veterinary hospital in Sullivan County.

AAHA accreditation is recognized throughout the veterinary profession as a symbol of excellence. Hospitals must meet or exceed more than 900 standards covering critical areas such as patient care, pain management, anesthesia protocols, surgical procedures, pharmacy management, laboratory practices, facility cleanliness, safety, medical recordkeeping, and client communication.

Maintaining these standards requires ongoing dedication and continuous evaluation, reflecting the hospital's commitment to delivering exceptional care at every level.

Supporting Families Through Every Stage Of A Pet's Life

The relationship between a family and its pet extends far beyond routine veterinary visits.

Recognizing the importance of compassionate aftercare, the hospital established Companion Memorial Crematorium more than 20 years ago. The on site cremation service was developed to provide families with a trusted, local option during one of the most difficult moments in pet ownership.

By offering aftercare services within the same organization that cared for pets throughout their lives, the hospital helps families navigate loss with dignity, compassion, and support.

Giving Back Through Warrior Companion

The hospital's commitment to service extends beyond veterinary medicine.

In 2014, the Animal Hospital of Sullivan County launched the Companion Animal Foundation, also known as Warrior Companion, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to supporting veterans and first responders.

The program helps provide pet health care assistance for service animals, reflecting the hospital's deep connection to military service and its desire to give back to those who dedicate their lives to helping others.

Through Warrior Companion, the hospital continues its tradition of service while recognizing the important role companion animals play in supporting the health and well being of veterans and first responders.
