Background
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved team member, Amanda.
Amanda was a bright light within our Dix Hills Animal Hospital family — her kindness, her compassion for every patient, and the love she brought into our building each day touched all of us. She was also incredibly knowledgeable and endlessly generous with that knowledge. Many of us learned new techniques, treatment approaches, and new ways of thinking about patient care because of her. She made all of us better.
Amanda leaves behind her cherished cat, Puffin, who she adored. As a team, we are committed to giving Puffin all the love, care, and security he deserves. Many clients and friends have already asked how they can help. In response, we have created a Puffin Care Fund through Ever Loved, where contributions will go directly toward his ongoing care and support during this transition.
Through the Ever Loved page, you may also share memories, photos, or stories of Amanda. These messages of love and remembrance will mean so much to her family, her friends, and to all of us here at the hospital who were lucky enough to work alongside her.
If you feel moved to contribute or share a remembrance, you may do so here at Ever Loved.
We are deeply grateful for the love, generosity, and support our community has already shown. Please keep Amanda’s family, friends, and our team in your thoughts as we navigate this heartbreaking time together. Contribute
