Happy Holidays

We wish you and your entire family a healthy, happy and safe holiday season!
The holidays are busy, fun and sometimes a bit stressful. Keep in mind your animals are creatures of routine and familiar activities will keep them happy. The most special thing to them is time spent with you! Take them on an extra walk if that's what they enjoy or reward them with new pet toys and/ or "cuddle time". Instead of giving them "people" food, share the spirit by reaching for a special pet treat. If your house is full of guests make sure your pets have a quiet place to go to "get away from it all". Remember, the most common emergency over the holidays are stomach upsets due to overindulgence or foreign bodies. Say "no" to feeding your pets from the table and keep an eye out for inappropriate interest in tinsel, ribbons, lights, paper, ornaments and whatever might look like a "toy".
Thank you for trusting us with your furry family's health. We wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season!
Sincerely,
The doctors and staff at Advanced Animal Care Center

Long Island's Mobile Animal Care Unit

Contact : Michel Selmer, DVM
Telephone: (631) 367-7387

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LONG ISLAND’S MOBILE ANIMAL CARE UNIT

Michel A. Selmer, DVM, a Long Island native and resident, introduces the Mobile Animal Care Unit. In these days of cautious spending and in an environment of financial crisis he is fearful that the care of pets on Long Island will be affected. Dr. Selmer has decided to take his services on the road, and is intent on making routine and advanced animal care easily available and affordable.
Mobile animal care services provide convenience for those who have limited transportation (families with young children, seniors, those with disabilities) or time (we can treat pets while their owners are at work, doing household chores, or just cannot squeeze the time to visit the animal hospital). Pets that stress over traveling to a traditional veterinary hospital can now be treated in their homes or in the mobile animal care unit. Families with multiple pets also will benefit greatly. Weekends no longer have to be disrupted by trips to the veterinary hospital, as the hospital will come to you.
Mobile services include physical examinations, routine and preventive healthcare, vaccinations, diagnostic laboratory testing, health certificates, micro chipping, as well as gentle and compassionate home euthanasia. Beyond the basics, there are many common problems in veterinary medicine that can be diagnosed and treated at home, including, for example, itching and scratching, problems with the eyes, ears or skin, mild to moderate arthritis, and minor injuries, wounds, and lacerations.
Dr. Selmer attended Long Island University (graduating Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology) and earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1995 from Michigan State University. He owns and operates the Advanced Animal Care Center in Huntington since 1996. In his hospital, Dr. Selmer focuses on minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical techniques, laparoscopic surgeries, ultrasounds, orthopedic surgeries, and endoscopies. He is an accredited member of the New York State Veterinary Medical Society, as well as the American Animal Hospital Association, and currently is the Vice President of the Long Island Veterinary Medical Society. Dr. Selmer is recognized as one of America’s top veterinarians by Consumer’s Research Council of America for 2006 and 2007.
