At Guardian Veterinary, we know that being a "guardian" means looking out for the whole familyโboth the four-legged members and the two-legged ones! ๐๐ซ
Many of our team members recently completed Human CPR training to become certified. While we hope we never have to use these skills, we want our clients to feel safe knowing that if a cardiac episode occurs, we are prepared to jump into action for pet parents, too.
Because at the end of the day, Guardian Cares about you just as much as your pets.
A BIG thank you to the Katonah Bedford Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps for providing this vital training to our staff! ๐

After an exam, Dr. Berg walks a client through their treatment options for this very cute pup named Coconut. Our doctors will always give their opinion on what they think the best options are for your pet, but will never try to force a decision on our clients. Ultimately, the decision will always be yours to make. ๐

Itโs fairly common to hear that people in vetmed are in it for the moneyโฆbut if you ask nearly anyone in veterinary medicine, this money everyone is speaking of is nowhere to be found. ๐๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ

๐ Forget the gold, weโve already hit the jackpot! ๐
The best treasures donโt sit at the end of a rainbowโtheyโre usually found napping on the sofa (or nudging us for dinner).
We want to see your lucky charms!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! ๐

Our Lucky Charms Have Four Paws!๐พ๐๐
We aren't just "lucky" to have these brave Superheroes; we are absolutely honored. Every time a blood donor visits our hospital, they are providing a life-saving gift to a pet in need. Thank you to our most recent donors:
As we celebrate our 8th anniversary, weโre proud to reflect on one of the ways we give back to the animals and organizations that need it most.
Through our 50% rescue support program, Guardian Veterinary Specialists has contributed $7,266,664.09 in medical care to animal rescue organizations over the past 8 years.
This program helps ensure that more rescue resources stay focused on what matters mostโsaving animals and finding them homes.๐๐
Itโs one of the many ways Guardian Caresโfor pets, for the people who save them, and for the communities we serve.
Thank you to the rescue partners who allow us to be part of your mission.

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. Bergโs 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.
