About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Westchester Veterinary Center and exclaimed, ‘I just saw something strange!’ The vet techs exchanged glances but didn’t expect what followed next. The vet techs peered out curiously as the driver pointed excitedly into the distance. 'There’s a pony wandering around your parking lot!' Turned out it was just a neighbor's miniature horse on an unauthorized field trip.

2. A delivery driver arrived with a box of cat treats one day, but when he opened it, he found something entirely unexpected—a small, furry creature that looked like a cross between a hamster and a gerbil. 'What on earth is this?' he wondered aloud, as curious neighbors began gathering outside. Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was just an adorable little guinea pig with big round eyes. The delivery guy laughed it off, saying he’d always wanted one anyway. Soon enough, the tiny critter became a local celebrity, hanging out in the reception area and greeting visitors until it found its forever home.

3. A concerned neighbor once asked: ‘Why does that vet clinic always seem so busy at midnight?’ It turned out they were just vaccinating a particularly rowdy herd of llamas from Westchester County Fair. A delivery driver later joked, ‘Next time I’ll know why my package was late—llamas and vaccines at midnight!’

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver brought in a crate labeled ‘Special Order for Dr. Smith.’ As he walked away, everyone noticed something odd—inside the crate were not just supplies, but dozens of tiny umbrellas. Dr. Smith looked puzzled as she opened the crate. 'Umbrellas?' she asked, raising an eyebrow. A nearby vet tech shrugged and said, 'Must be one of those newfangled weather prediction gadgets.' The story spread quickly among the staff, who spent the rest of the day speculating on how many clouds it would take to trigger their next paycheck.'
