Deborah A Rue, DVM

Unfortunately, I found Deborah Rue very demeaning and cold. Wasn’t very comfortable with her.

We have been using Dr. Rue for all our pets for the last 16 years.
On Saturday, we had to put down our beloved Basset Hound, Bailey. Bailey was the most sweet and gentle living thing that anyone could imagine. Everyone loved her very much, including Dr. Rue and her staff. Bailey used to LOVE coming to see Dr. Rue and Dr. Rue used to love seeing her. Dr. Rue used to refer to Bailey as «Girly Girl» and she would always be personable with Bailey and speak to her like you would speak to a human. But like I said before, we unfortunately had to put Bailey down after her 16 ½ long years of life. Dr. Rue told us that it was an honor to have Bailey as a patient. In addition, 2 days after Bailey’s passing, we received flowers and a sympathy card from Dr. Rue and her staff which was very comforting.
Now, we continue to take our 13 year old Dachshund named Jake to Dr. Rue, as well as our cat, Hannah.
Thank you Dr. Rue for always taking care of my pets. And rest in peace to my beloved Bailey. We all love you and we will miss you immensely.

I have been a client of Irvington Pet Hospital since 1981 and Dr. Rue and her glorious staff have helped me with 1 dog and 4 cats. My pets have been well cared for and have boarded with during my travels. Most recently Dr. Rue helped me rescue a cat. I found a very undernournished stray cat and brought her in to Dr. Rue. Boo Boo Kitty (as I named her) was in good health with the exception of a thyroid condition. Dr. Rue absorbed the costs of saving Boo Boo Kitty’s life and she is now recovering beautifully, gaining wait, has no fleas, AND is purring up a storm. Thank you Dr. Rue and Staff for saving Boo Boo Kitty from what could have been a long and sorrowful life. I am grateful and so is she.

Update 9÷25÷08: We now have a dog named Smarty, and yes, we take her here, too, and she loves everyone and is loved by everyone here. It’s very nice to have faith in people to care for your loved ones the way we do when we bring our animal family here. :-)

Dr. Rue is awesome. She’s the one we take our cats to. Actually, she’s the reason we have more than one cat.
I think she liked how we were taking care of Markos, our cross-​eyed kitty that actually adopted US when we bought our current house. He had all kinds of problems, and she helped us to fix him. Also, when he got in a gnarly fight with an interloper cat, she helped get him fixed up. When we were checking in on him, she had this little black and white whippersnapper out, and he was playing with our feet and batting at our ankles.
She was completely honest with us and told us that he was out so that he could entice us to take him home. She said we could have a sleepover while Markos was in the hospital, and that if things didn’t work out, we could bring him back. He started out his life named «Tux» and is now our stinker «Beckham». We could never give him back, though she has an open door policy on pets that she adopts out. (From what I understand, they do this often. They love animals here.)
We trust everyone at this facility, and we are very comfortable taking our cats here. If I had a dog, I’d take him here, too.
They’re not super expensive, and they really do take good care of your pets. We’ve boarded our animals here when we’re on vacation for longer than a few days. When we get them back, they’re not sick or traumatized. It’s $ 25 a night, I think, to board your cat here.
If you’re looking for a safe place to take your pets for care, I recommend this one.
