Our Story
An animal clinic with a history of attentive service, care, and advocacy for pets.
We have been serving the Queens community for 30 years.
Founded by the Dinetz husband and wife team, FMAC quickly became a friendly neighborhood business staple. Clients came from all parts of Queens and the clinic continued to grow. In 2014, Dr. Jeremy Cohen took the reigns as Medical Director/Owner and improved upon the existing stellar reputation and overall appearance of the animal clinic.
These days, FMAC strives to offer personalized attention for your family pet needs. We have extended our office hours to accommodate the busy city lifestyle of our Queens families. Dr. Cohen makes himself accessible through email and phone communications, which our clients really appreciate. We have added pet grooming services and doubled our support staff to greater serve your pets medical and wellness needs. We are committed to shorter wait times, and cost effective, reasonable rates. All this has contributed to a growing client base that often recommends us to their family and friends. People have realized that we aim to treat your pet as we do our very own.

What is your RX prescription policy?
We do require a 24-hour notice for any prescription refill. If you are requesting a refill from an online pharmacy different from our online pharmacy store we require you to pick up a handwritten prescription that you can mail. We have you sign a waiver because manufacturers do not provide guarantees on their products when you buy from outside sources, as they cannot guarantee the quality of the product since it was not directly purchased from them.
Are you appointment only?
We do go by appointments to minimize your wait time. An appointment is typically 20 minutes in duration. This allows the doctor ample time to perform an exam and answer any questions. Currently, due to COVID-19, we do the exam in the room with your pet and the consultation in person afterward with the clients, to maintain distance/safety.
What types of pets do you treat?
At FMAC we currently treat only dogs and cats! For exotics (birds/hamsters/ferrets) we recommend the specialist center BluePearl Pet Hospital Forest Hills or Long Island Bird & Exotics Veterinary Clinic in Great Neck.
Do you see emergencies?
Serious health problems, injuries, and illnesses require immediate care. When your pet urgently needs to see a veterinarian, FMAC offers quality emergency and urgent care during regular business hours as well. Please call for availability!

Vaccines and Wellness
Don’t underestimate how important regular visits to the veterinarian and current vaccinations are for your pet. Regular wellness exams can ensure your pet’s health is maintained, and vaccines can prevent your pet from contracting infections and fatal diseases. Have your pet examined by our professionals today to keep them in the best of health for years to come.
Advanced Diagnostics
Even with the best of preventive care, sometimes our pet’s still get sick and need a diagnostic visit to their veterinarian. We give sick pets our greatest attention, especially in the case of an emergency. With every pet visit, we extensively analyze your pet’s previous records as well as any current symptoms to get to the root of the problem, along with a full physical examination.
Grooming Services
Grooming your pet regularly is extremely beneficial for their well being. That’s because a trimmed coat and a thorough ear cleaning can reduce infections. Carrying years of experience, our groomer will gently handle your pet to make sure they have a positive experience.
