A neighborhood practice with a clinical backbone.
Pure Paws Veterinary Care of Hudson Square is a full-service small animal hospital on Hudson Street in downtown Manhattan. We blend warm, unhurried care with the diagnostics and protocols you'd expect from a specialty practice — because the pets of this neighborhood deserve both.
Dr. Kurtzman
Veterinarian · Co-Director
Dr. Kurtzman built the weight loss program around the conversations that matter most: how families actually feed and love their pets. Her approach pairs APOP-based clinical assessment with the kind of practical guidance owners can keep up with.
Dr. Liff
Veterinarian · Co-Director
Dr. Liff brings deep internal medicine experience to every consultation — screening for endocrine disease, orthopedic concerns, and the comorbidities that make weight loss harder, so we can plan around them from day one.
What we believe
Pet obesity is the most common preventable disease we see — and one of the most loaded. Food is love. Treats are how we say "I missed you." Walks are quality time. We start every weight loss conversation from that truth.
Then we get specific. Measured portions. Honest treat math. A plan everyone in the household can follow. Phone calls when the bag of food runs out. In-clinic weigh-ins that don't cost extra. The slow, sustainable arc that adds years to a life.
Come see us.
