I've been coming here for 23 years. My first experience with Dr. Hallihan And Dr. Cusulli was when my dog needed emergency eye surgery. We weren't even a patient yet. It was a snowy afternoon and Dr. Cusulli came in and saved her eye. They have taken care of all of our pets ever since. Including an annual checkup for my daughters ducks. They are kind and understanding bunch of people. The entire staff treat us like family. Thanks for always being there! read more

We take our Macon Bacon to the Landing Office & board him at the Flanders office. We and Macon couldn't be happier with either office. The veterinary staff & employees are above & beyond the best. Highly recommend them. read more

Very Nice Staff & Vet. Very gentle with our Bermedoodle. They were very accommodating and compassionate too. Thank You!!!!

We were with Dr Casulli and Dr Hallihan since they First started out. We had Tiger (cat), Midnight (cat), Myra (cat), Little (cat), Reese (dog), Jack (dog), Parker (cat) adopted From Animal Care Center and Fenway (cat). Parker is with a Friend of my daughters. Our other Furbabies have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and I miss them all. I am looking for a new Furbaby and will back to the Animal Center soon I hope. All of Our Furbabies were well taken care of at the Animal Care Center. Our Furbabies all loved to go there. We loved taking them there and I would recommend that if anyone is looking for great Veterinarians then go to the Animal Care Center they are the Best and the Staff are all really nice too. I have never regretted one day of taking our pets there , they were well taken care of. We have always felt like one of the Family. ANIMAL CARE CENTER WE LOVE YOU ALL. HAVE GREAT HOLIDAYS AND STAY SAFE. read more

On a Monday morning our rabbit Hazel exhibited signs of the potentially deadly gastrointestinal stasis: not eating, not pooping, limited movement. It requires immediate treatment, and rabbit trained vets are scarce. To our distress we learned her vet had left the practice. Calls to find a new vet in Sussex county were answered with a clueless "We're booked today, would you like an appointment tomorrow?". Only the reception and staff at the Flanders Animal Care Center seemed to understand the need for Hazel to be treated within hours - and Dr Casulli fit her into an already busy schedule. Today Hazel is recovering thanks to the timely attention she received. And we found a veterinary practice that really does care. read more

After a deadly diagnosis (no testing done or xrays) my dog received at her prior vet (will no longer go back) and being told they would not help me because I couldn't afford the 30% down of an estimated bill. They then pretty much turned their backs on my "dying" dog. The following morning I called Animal Care Center in Flanders and spoke with Jillian. She immediately told me to bring my dog there and let's look at her and get her treated. We saw Dr. Hallihan who was WONDERFUL with us. He did bloodwork and an X-ray which showed it was not a deadly illness it was gastritis. Simple problem simple fix and my dog is almost 100% back to her old self and my bill was a fraction of what the other dr told us. We obviously have a new vet and so happy with the care, concern, and time they took with us. They all are a caring wonderful group. read more

great caring service. excellent staff throughout both locations. I travel 1 1/4 hours to bring my pets there.

Highly recommend this practice. We've been using them for years- usually for routine services like shots and nail clippings for our dog, and hoof trimmings for our pet pig. Recently we had an emergency. Our dog, Cookie, cut the pad of her foot deeply. The staff at animal care centers was able to talk us through how to properly care for her until we could get her there in person. They then took care of her in person when we were able to bring her in. They're always friendly, accommodating, and informative. They're animal-centric instead of money-centric like many other local practices. They follow COVID protocols. We feel that our pets are family members, and Flanders Animal Care Center treats them that way! read more

My wife's cat has been scratching for awhile and recently has had stomach issues. This cat is difficult to get in a carrier as she was from a shelter and hates cages. We scheduled an appointment on Monday for Friday and even took off work. When we arrived they had no knowledge of the appointment and although we could show the exact time and length of the call on our phone they were not helpful at all. Another past visit they ran the wrong test for the cat and said the only option was to bring her back to redo it. They seem to be lacking detailed focused employees so I recommend staying away from this place. read more

Dr Halahand and Monica at Anmial Care Center in Flander made our experience great. This was our first time going to the doctors with our pet boston terriers during the COVID-19 we were very nervous because we are normally in the office with them. However it was a great experience because Monica kept us informed and explained everything after the visit. During the visit doctor Halahand called us on my cell to advise and discuss what he found with our boys. Wow what a treat team they really treat you like family i love going to them and would give them more the 5 stars if i could. Thank you for all the great work and kindness. We really appreciate it read more

I have been going to animal care centers for yeas. The staff is so nice and caring. I have taken all four dogs there. Back in Match I had to put my Napeleon down. It was so hard for me. Dr. Valere and the entire staff were so caring and kind. They were with me the whole time and comforted me. It was tough. Now I have a new puppy that I bring there too. I highly recommend the practice. All the vets and techs are great and so close by. read more

I have a difficult dog that hates the vet and they did a great job helping us get through it Pleasant staff of waiting room overall A-Plus

My first visit here was very welcoming and I was very excited to find a vet closer to home . My dog had breathing difficulty and wheezing so I took him for a second visit here at this visit they weren't as friendly. The doctor recommend a x-ray and told me something going on in the lungs and I should get a Ultrasound so I agreed to one. The next day I received a call from Dr.Hallihan he told me my dog had DCM a heart condition and that there is fluid in his lungs . My baby needed his Taurine levels checked come back in for a injection of a diuretic and was put on 3 different medications for the heart. After a few days of no improvement and breathing getting worst I called back left 2 messages no return call. I called the after hours line and Dr.Hallihan returned my call told me to come in on Thursday or Friday for another x ray. Friday I brought my Baby in had Xray and Dr. Villari diagnosed him with a bacterial infection gave him a injection of Ampicillin and put him on 10 days of claramox. When I asked about the fluid in the lungs he ask me who said there was any fluid because he didn't see any. I ask for a copy of Ultrasound . The following week I spoke to Dr.Hallihan about the fluid in the lungs and why his partner had a different diagnosis. He asked to hold on to review the Xray again and came back on the phone to tell me he is concerned it might be cancer. I should follow up with a cardiologist was his recommendation and we will talk tomorrow that was a week ago with no follow up from him or his office. My baby 's breathing kept getting worst so I rushed him to the American Animal Hospital in Randolph . First of all they stayed open for us the Doctor did a Xray diagnosed the Lung cancer read all his prior results and took him off all the heart meds. His heart condition is borderline. The Doctor asked me to film and count Marleys breaths and email him. The very next morning he called me back . My heart is broken knowing that I will lose my boy but I feel so disappointing in the care he got here. All the extra testing and medication that were not needed also the lack of compassion and follow up. Today I called because I am still waiting for the Taurine Bloodwork result and was asked "the doctor wants to know how Marley is doing ?"when I said he was diagnosed with lung cancer and that was disappointed with the care he got .Her respond was I will call the lab and find out why we haven't gotten the results back. As I sat there I have to say I have never seen so many people come in to pick up medications for their dogs I feel this place only cares about selling you unnecessary test and medications. read more

Don't bother. The Vets tell you things that are not true. The wait time is unbearable, and the staff would rather talk on their phone, than ask the person in front of them if they could be of service. Dr. Vallari doesn't remember the instructions he has given. Nor do they know what the visit is for. The practice is too large, and you become lost in the huge practice. read more

The staff here are nothing but friendly and helpful. They have helped me through end of life care for my one cat Jack, as well as, being incredibly patient with my cat Smudge when she needed treatment. I recommend this vet to any and all people looking for a vet. read more

Every time we have ever needed anything this practice has been there to help us...from new puppies to end of life services. The team - all of them - are just fantastic. So grateful to have them as our practice. read more

I've been to this vet twice now. The first time was with Dr. Casulli. She was incredibly nice and caring, and took time to talk to me and my dog. The second time was to see Dr. Villari. I found him to be incredibly rude, condescending, and misogynistic. He barely took two minutes to see my dog, and barely even touched her, at that! I am incredibly upset that I spent $68 for this man to ignore my concerns and treat me like an idiot. If I go back it will certainly not be to see Dr. Villari. read more

I've been going here for years. Great place. My diabetic dog would have died if it weren't for these great people

The doctors and staff took wonderful care of my Labrador Retriever for 13+ years. Always calling to follow up after a sick visit and reachable after hours whenever we had a problem. In the end when it was time for us to say goodbye they were once again compassionate and accommodating. We will be back again once we are ready to adopt again. read more

I have been going to Animal Care Centers for as long as I can remember. It may have been right after they opened their clinic in Landing. They cared for two of my cats, Princess & Tigger, both of whom were sick for a long time. Despite their illnesses, Princess lived until she was 19 and Tigger (he was FIV+), lived nearly 16 or 17 years (never had his actual age). It was a lot of work on my part as well, but I could not have done it without the entire team at ACC, especially both Drs. Villari & Hallihan. As for the staff... I can't say enough great things about all of them. Thank you ACC for all that you've done for me over the years. You treated me and my pets with care and compassion... and for that, I will be forever grateful. read more

DO NOT USE DR. VILLARI. My dog had pneumonia that progressed under his care to pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension. When things got critical, I suggested taking her to Oradell Animal Hospital and he said it would be fine if we took her home for the night and brought her to Oradell in the morning. He promised that he would be available all night if an emergency arose. We were smart enough to not listened to his advice, but asked for him to include the x-rays in the paperwork they gave us. When we got her to Oradell an hour later, they said she had a 40% chance of surviving the night ON OXYGEN. We realized that we didn't double check that his staff included the paperwork in our haste to get to the hospital and the x-rays were not there. To top things off, the doctor who promised he would be available was not. We tried calling him multiple times throughout the night because my dog was not stable enough for another set of x-rays. She was in Oradell for 9 days, on oxygen for 8 of them. Luckily, she survived (with some permanent damage). Our bill was under $16,000. Most of this could have been avoided had Dr. Villari been competent. read more

I can't say enough about the staff at this office. Makes me and my pets feel so at ease. They deserve tons of praise!!!

Dr. Villari was sarchastic towards me as he refused to euthenize my dog. My dog is 14 years old and I love her to death. But she is incontinent for more than 6 months and getting worse, tripped and fell on her face twice while I was walking her to the car, is nearly deaf, wanders around as if senile an hour or so each day, and only sleeps otherwise. She is not happy (I know because I've owned her for her whole life). I spoke with the office twice before bringing her in and they said they would take care of it when I arrived, at the end of the day, which is what they have done for me at this office 5 times since I've lived here over 30 years. After a 45 minute wait, Dr. Villari insisted on evaluating my dog first, then refused to euthenize her, saying "she's a healthy dog. She's just a little unstable" And then, when I tried to tell him the reasons, he interrupted me, sarchastically telling me I wanted this done for my own convenience. Sadly, I left feeling it wasn't the place I had experiences over many years: one that trusts and shows compassion towards an owner who is already extremely upset over his pet's health and making this very difficult decision, like they used to do here. UPDATE: Dr. Hallihan called me that evening and was very apologetic and kind. He also took care of Maggie the next day and was very kind, as was the staff. I am grateful and look forward to being able to keep my animal Care here. read more
