No…read morecompassion or concern for animal care, but a clinic that appears more concerned about the old mighty dollar. Just to mention one of the issues, the doctor would not give us a script for a different medicated food without an office visit. My cat was seen by her 3 weeks prior. The UTI food was not for a new diagnosis she's been on UTI food for years. My kitty was barely eating her current medicated food due to a side effect of a new thyroid medication. I wanted to to try a different brand, but the doctor could care less because she was more concerned about charging for a office visit that really wasn't necessary. Addionally they can't handle their current amount of patients because they don't return calls or emails for test results. Very frustrating and stressful.

Gave the wrong antibiotic and had did little in the way to correct the problem. Just by chance I found Raritan Valley Veterinary Hospital. I called after 2:00 in the afternoon and explained my situation to Dr. Jitesh Toshniwal. He told me to come on down ASAP and him and his caring staff started working on my Big Boy right away. The office is situated across from RVCC College. They were very professional with a smart caring team! They were very transparent about pricing and IMO very reasonable. They treat your pet like a king, seriously! I was so happy and grateful to find them at the time I did and will be going back for a follow up on kidney numbers and discuss other options. Thank you so much for your Professionalism. Great looking office as well. Very clean & neat. A great atmosphere! Would also like to thank Kim for her help and saving my cats special Orange Box :-)

I have had 2 very positive experiences at Oldwick Animal Hospital. I went there first (a few weeks…read moreago), for a second opinion for my 10 year old Standard Poodle with a diagnosis of Salivary Mucocele (basically, leaky salivary glands). Our first visit was with Dr. John Heigerd, he spent over an hour with me explaining the problem and my options. He throughly reviewed all the previous medical records and blood work. Surgery would be an option and Dr. Heigerd suggested we make an apt. with Dr. Scavelli at Garden State Veterinary Associates in Tinton Falls. In addition to the salivary gland concern , G has a history of a problem with his legs, most likely an old neck injury. Throughout the past 5 years G has been on and off steroids for this problem. I wanted to give acupuncture a try in an effort to reduce the steroid use. We met w/ Dr. Kerry Scholz today, it was an excellent meeting. G is a pretty easy going dog so she was able to use quite a few needles, and I am hoping for good results. More importantly she took quite a bit of time to really explain and educate me regarding my options for G. We are going to work together on a plan so G can be as strong and as comfortable and as healthy as possible! In a world where everyone is in a rush and everyone is busy, I truly appreciate the TIME that BOTH Dr. Heigerd and Dr. Scholz spent with G and I !!! As a family, we have decided to move both of our dogs to this practice. I truly have never experienced the level of care and concern I saw in these two doctors! I highly recommend this practice!!!

When one of our dogs had an emergency and needed an operation. Having never been there before, they took our pup and performed the surgery, even staying late. The vets have all been great every time we go. But just recently we took our little 11 year old in, trying to figure out what was going on. We saw Dr Jan Cailles and she was wonderful! She took her time examining and had us return promptly when things progressed very rapidly. She listened to our concerns, worked with the options we were willing to use, and was there checking in, consoling us, giving necessary information, compassion and understanding tye entire time. We said goodbye to our baby and she helped in every way. Dr Jan understands how our pets are family and the connection that's shared. Our pup was her first concern. She was masterful and knowledgeable as well as comforting to us. She made an upsetting illness easier for us with her guidance and care. Our pup was very lucky to have her at the end of her life. She, and her staff were, once again, great. Highly recommend.

I never really came here all that often on my own, and the hospital itself has been completely…read morereconfigured and renovated since I made my last visit some years ago, but it left a very positive impression. We always had animals when I was growing up, primarily cats because my mother was allergic to dog dander. I had nothing against cats, but...being a boy...I really wanted a dog. Give my sister her due-- she did the due diligence and learned that the Keeshond breed, because of its plush fur, would be less likely to cause an allergic reaction. While still living in Wayne, we got a Keeshond named Kiku. My sister was right; my mother wasn't allergic. It basically became, almost by default, my dog. I walked it before school, after school, and in the evening. It had an unpredictable disposition and scared a lot of people, but I loved that dog. When it had to be put down, my father was the one who actually brought the dog here to have it done. I sometimes accompanied Dad if the animal needed shots or needed to be "fixed," but not for this. I didn't come along this time; I wasn't up to it emotionally. My father missed Kiku (as did I), and acquired another Keeshond named Cookie, a female. I don't know if the different temperament was due to the different sex, but Cookie was a gentle sweetheart. Again, she was basically my dog. I had to walk her in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. One night, in my late teens, I came in very inebriated, and basically collapsed on the floor downstairs before I could take Cookie out on her nightly walk. When I awakened groggily a few hours later, Cookie sat there not far from me, looking at me reproachfully, her "business" still undone. I rectified that by belatedly taking her outside and offered up what apologies I could. Being a good-natured lass, she seemed to forgive me. When Cookie had to be put down, it was still my father who did it. I still couldn't bring myself to participate in the process. Unfair to Dad? Yeah. But it was one of my more pronounced weak points. I had trouble dealing with the death of a loved one, animal or human. When I got my own place, my sister "gifted" me with a feral cat named Bella. I didn't really want the cat, but I didn't say no. I figured she'd be company. She destroyed my furniture, raked my arms with her claws when I tried to be friendly, sometimes threw up on my carpet. But, like 2 uncongenial inmates sharing the same cell, a "bond" inevitably forms in time, and so it did with us. As she got older, and became sick, I brought her to Basking Ridge Animal Hospital and an operation was performed (I can't remember at this point what her exact ailment was). It bought her more time, and...maybe because of the "trauma" of the operation...she was more affectionate after that, coming to sit on my leg when I came home from work at night, resting her paws on my kneecap. Not too long after that, she abruptly stopped eating and drinking. I bought several cans of cat food, opened them all, and spread them around her, desperately hoping to tempt her out of whatever was ailing her. She was oblivious to my efforts. I knew her end was near, and I hoped she could die "peacefully" in what had become her home, but I knew that was unrealistic. Was she in pain? Was she suffering? I had no way of knowing (she was silent, not even offering up a plaintive meow), but I couldn't deal with the thought of her dying in silent, protracted agony. With a heavy heart, I put her into her "cat carrier" and brought her to the hospital. The doctor examined her, and said, "I think it's time. You've done all you can for her." Reluctantly I petted her goodbye and left (I really do hope she didn't feel I was abandoning her). Like the kid whose father attended to the "dirty business" of putting a suffering, aged animal out of their misery, I couldn't bear to be there for the "final act." Dad wasn't around anymore, though. I had steeled myself to come this far, but I couldn't stay in the room for the finish. Maybe I was a coward, or maybe I just felt things too deeply (I've been called by someone who has known me for decades "a gentle soul.") Whatever it was, I hope Bella understood, and forgave, as much as any animal can understand and forgive. I went back into the main office, paid the bill, and left. On the way to my car, I'm not embarrassed to say that I cried like a baby. Not long after that, the hospital sent me a "sympathy" card for my loss. It was a thoughtful gesture, and I appreciated it. I recognize that death is an inevitable part of life, but I've never had another animal since. But my memories of Basking Ridge Animal Hospital are...as much as they can be when dealing with sickness and death...positive ones, and I'd recommend this place to anyone. In my experience with them, they impressed me as caring, dedicated professionals with compassionate hearts.

Obi primarily sees Dr. Hollo but has also been seen by Dr. Rotella and Dr. Blachek, I would recommend any one of these vets for your loved one. I can't thank Dr. Hollo and everyone at Basking Ridge Animal hospital enough for taking such amazing care of my pup. I don't know what I would have done without their guidance, care and support during my puppy's rough patches and I'm so happy to know I have them there for the future.

I am so impressed…read more We have a HIGHLY fearful dog at the vet. To the point where his old vet did all his visits outside and didn't actually accomplish anything other than his yearly vaccines. We moved to the area and I called BVH to make an appointment. They called our old vet, got all of his details, and made sure they scheduled him on a procedure day to make sure they could sedate him if needed. We arrived and they gave him a bandana with happy pheromones to help make him comfortable. Dr Silvers tried the exam with a muzzle, but our pup was not having it. We agreed to come back later that day when they could sedate him. We could have left him, but didn't want to add stress to the situation so we appreciated being given the option to bring him back. They also gave us the estimate up front, so that we could make a decision before moving forward. Dr Aulisio was our vet when we returned and she was wonderful. We quickly muzzled our pup for the sedative and she was able to do the entire exam (something he hasn't had in the 2 years we've had him!). He got all of his vaccines, blood drawn, nails clipped, the works, with almost no stress put on our pup. We just received a call to check in on him. Truly a wonderful experience, we are so happy we changed vets.

We've tried several trainers and boarding facilities in various cities and states. We even resorted to trying a famous YouTube trainer and he came back worse and even more anxious. Typically, these expensive "board and trains" we've participated in have ended with medication recommendations and a "good luck". One final trainer recommended we try Mind Of Dog because she also wasn't able to break through. I'm so grateful we did. He's thriving and comes home exhausted. An added bonus is the people training we've received. The best part of all of it, is that he's finally getting the exercise and structure he's always needed and deserves. They handle the dogs calmly, but with lots of structure and clear boundaries, which our dog desperately needs. We can finally go to work and travel without worrying that he's being mishandled or ignored. We're so grateful to have found this place and I have to admit, I was waiting for him to fail again, because we had lost all hope. I highly recommend that you give Mind Of Dog a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as we were. Thanks, Mind of Dog! Senna loves you all and is so grateful to be able to play with dogs without fear and anxiety.
