The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center is the world’s largest non-profit animal hospital with 130+ veterinarians providing the highest quality medical care across more than 20 specialties and services.


Our pioneering clinical research advances veterinary knowledge, and our education programs train the next generation of veterinary leaders and provide pet owners with quality pet health information. AMC is proud to offer our services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center began in 1906 as the brainchild of Ellin Prince Speyer when she founded the Women’s Auxiliary to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Believing that there were “branches of humane work especially suited for women,” Ellin and her friends developed their organization as a way to supplement the activities of the male-dominated ASPCA. The first major activity organized by the Women’s Auxilliary was the Work Horse Parade. Held on Memorial Day in 1907, the parade encouraged streetcar drivers, peddlers, and other horse owners to treat their animals better. Thousands turned out for the event, forecasting a bright future for the organization that would one day become the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center.


Spurred by their initial successes, in 1909 the Women’s Auxiliary set out to establish a dispensary and outpatient clinic for all animals whose owners could not afford to pay for medical treatment. The clinic opened in 1910 on the Lower East Side in the heart of New York’s largest immigrant community. Several veterinarians volunteered their services on a part-time basis while Auxiliary members and friends donated money and resources. The clinic treated 6,028 animals in the first full year.

Enzo was diagnosed with lymphoma at AMC . From then on he has received the most compassionate and professional care.
Thanks to medical and non medical staff

My dog regularly visits the AMC Neurology department and they have been nothing short of amazing. Always communicative, friendly and always looking out for my pet. I trust them all implicitly and can’t recommend them enough.

this place is absolutely horrific...the vets and technicians I encountered were heartless and cold...the atmosphere is the same...this is a business plain and simple with little to no compassion for the animals they tend to...stay away from this place at all costs!

I am extremely satisfied with AMC from regular vet visits, to emergency care, to the care and empathy they have when it is time to say goodbye. I wish they weren’t quite as expensive as they are but I make it work.

So happy with my experience here after visiting another ER. They made me feel so at ease and safe with my geriatric dog.

Don’t let them talk down to you. Your pet is ill and needs care. That doesn’t mean people can take advantage of or mistreat you.

Out 13 year old Cavalier King Charles had a cataract surgery at AMC 10 years ago and have been seen 3-4 times a year for follow ups. Absolutely horrendous customer service combined with extreme difficulty to make and to alter existing appointments have always been the case. We have decided to stick to AMC eye care only for the sake of seeing dr. Von Der Woerdt who performed the surgery for my dog and whom we trust.

Dr. Jasmine Zaibek is extremely knowledgeable. I was not able to make the appointment due to my daughter being sick and had family take my dog. She allowed me to speak with her on the phone the entire appointment. She was so thorough and made sure my Kobe was in good care. I could not recommend her and AMC enough.

The cardiology department was amazing. They took very good care of my fur baby. Explained everything to me clearly and even told me about an app that would help me monitor my dogs breathing so I would know if she was in distress and needed to go back to the AMC urgently. I would recommend AMC to anyone for top care. The wait wasn’t long, and they are handling the current construction well by checking people in before they go up to the hospital area.

AMC is the place to go! I went for a first check up with Dr. Slade (internal medicine) in April, and this week for the follow up. Stuff and Dr. Slade are amazing: caring, professional, knowledgeable with a fantastic communication. Also Dr. Slade always replies to email and he is very nice. I feel secure in giving my baby to them

I simply cannot say enough GOOD THINGS about great team of specialists at the AMC. Rachel St-Vincent, spent 2.5 hours on my first consultation to come up with the proper treatment plan for my dog, who was recently diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma grade 2, as a fast-growing and aggressive, where every day was important so it doesn’t spread. In less that 5 days, she was able to set up a CT Scan, and work on further evaluation using her knowledge and professionalism accompanying with Rachel Lordahi (oncology resident - very compassionate and loves animals), and an anthrozoologist Maria McKenna. A special THANK YOU to Fazia Mangru ( oncology coordinator), who went above and beyond to assist with expediting/ coordinating the process. AMC is known, AMC is big, yes there is a waiting list, but nothing can be done when there is a high demand and every staff member is on extreme working schedule to help most needed animals…

Dr. Moore, KatieJo and Dr. Brown along with the Avian Team have been incredible saviors for my birds. They truly care for animals and have shown my family (birds and all) and I such love and support. Words cannot describe my level of appreciation for them. In the hardest times, they helped make things better in every way they could. Thank you Dr. Moore, KatieJo and Dr. Brown for all that you do to save animals. We need more people like you in this world.
