In the early 1930's, people traveled on dirt roads via horse & buggy, penicillin was not yet invented, old wooden crates were used to house pets, food scraps were collected from local restaurants to feed them, and boarding was only 25 cents a day. Dr. Fredericks continued his veterinary career for the next 60 years and became a well-respected "character" in the local community.North Shore Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1931 on Vernon Valley Road in Northport, NY by Dr. Arthur Fredericks upon graduation from the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

About Us
Report
In 1969, his son Richard W. Fredericks joined the practice after also completing his Veterinary degree from Cornell University. Dr. Fredericks built one of the largest Large Animal Veterinary practices on Long Island while maintaining a strong small animal practice, and was one of the first to become licensed in using acupuncture techniques to aid western medicine. In 1985, Dr. Richard Frederick moved the practice from the original Northport, NY, and changed the concentration to smaller companion animals.

Acupuncture
Report
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting small needles at specific points of the body to balance the flow of energy and is sometimes used with a machine that creates electronic pulses to stimulate the areas in which the needles are inserted. This type of alternative medicine has been used in the veterinary field to treat arthritis, pain management, and the treatment of certain diseases. One day my ten-year-old Golden Retriever was unable to stand. I was so worried that this was the beginning of the end for my beloved dog.
