We couldn't be happier with our experience. The woman at the front desk was so sweet to Charli when we walked in. He seemed to forget all about me as he wandered around behind the counter sniffing everything in his path. She asked me a few questions about the type of 'cut' I wanted for him and I left feeling comfortable that they would do a good job (leaving him is still not easy). Charli looked great when I picked him up a few hours later. We will definitely be returning to Animal Kingdom South!

UPDATE: We've been back here a few times for minor things; my 3 legged dog is prone to needing his…read moreanal glands expressed, stuff like that. But today Dr. Povol and Mammas saved my boy's life. It started last night when WWD (world's worst dog) found a hole into the crawl space under the deck and came out with a rib bone from God only knows where or when. After a protracted tug of war this 3 legged brat looked me right in the eye, yanked his head so I lost my grip and gave a cartoonish GULP and swallowed that bone. Efforts to make him vomit from hydrogen peroxide were a threat to my life and limbs so we trekked off to VEG urgent care in Millburn at 11 pm. They were super nice and got him to vomit up a whole can of food but the bone stayed stuck in his stomach. After much discussion I chose to bring him home for the night because if he did need surgery I knew it would be twice as expensive at an ER facility. I called Dr. Povol at 8 am and they got us right in; 2 hours later Able was in surgery. The whole staff has been exceptionally kind and thorough, keeping me posted throughout the day and calling to check in once I got Able home. The surgery was about $2800 total which I know from experience is more than fair. He's got a belly full of sutures and is sleeping it off but he will be just fine, soon to continue his reign of terror. From last year: I'm on an extended visit with my family in Bayonne and one of my dogs got an eye infection. I've lived in Los Angeles for 25 years where we have truly human-grade medical care for pets so I wasn't sure what to expect in Bayonne. Wow was I impressed. This is a wonderful hospital. We got a same-day appointment which was really nice of them because they were busy. Every single staff member was kind and courteous and caring and professional. Once we got into the exam room we had to wait about 20 minutes and the super-nice tech came in to apologize and explain they'd had an emergency. I certainly understood and didn't care, but not every place bothers to explain what's going on. Dr. Povol came in and I loved him. He was incredibly thorough, explained everything. I saw another review where he was described as no-nonsense and I'd basically agree but he's kind and was laughing at the ridiculous histrionics of my other dog who was crying because he wasn't getting all the attention (!). I will absolutely return, my other dog can get cold laser treatments on his back and needs a dental. On top of everything else, the bill was a fraction of what I would pay in LA or at other hospitals around here. They even have their own garage for parking! Worth every penny and I recommend this hospital with 5 glowing stars. I came here because of the great reviews; there were some negative ones on Yelp that were from 2-4 years ago and they DO NOT reflect the experience I had. You will always find someone who had a terrible experience and write a review. Most times when people are happy they just go about their business, but when people are upset they are quick to post a review. I TOTALLY recommend this hospital.

I'm so glad we found Dr.Mamas and this vet!! I can't express enough how wonderful they all are and…read morealways a pleasure visiting here! Finally found a place where the doctors truly care about all the animals and not just look at it as a quick visit to get money. I needed to get a second opinion bc the first place had everything negative to say about our Frenchie and surgery that he might have had to do but getting a second opinion from Dr. Mamas has truly made us feel at ease and no surgery was ever even needed! Dr.Mamas is a very compassionate and knowledgeable doctor and his honesty for our pets is very rare to find in situations like ours with our Frenchie. Both Doctors are absolutely amazing and can't recommend enough! Friendly and welcoming staff and especially the cutest dog that the staff has and always a pleasure greeting everyone! There is available parking right outside the clinic and very reasonable prices especially compared to other clinics. Furthermore, We needed a pet health certificate to travel overseas to Europe and it has always been a great and always on point experience! We are grateful we found Dr.Mamas and the entire staff and definitely Recommend!!

I scheduled an appointment for my dog's routine vaccinations and informed reception in advance that…read morehe has allergies and I would like an allergy injection, as has been done during previous visits. During the appointment, the new veterinarian conducted a brief examination-listening to his heart and checking his ears, where I had specifically noted his allergies tend to present. The entire exam lasted approximately seven minutes, largely due to my dog being restless. I am aware that this practice is generally on the higher end in terms of cost, and I anticipated a bill in the range of $200 based on prior visits. However, I was presented with a bill exceeding $400, which was unexpected and shocking. I was informed that prices had increased this year, though I did not receive any prior notification by email or see any posted notice in the office. I was also told that because there was "something wrong" with my dog, the exam fee was higher. This was confusing, as I had already disclosed his allergies when booking the appointment and this was not something 'found' during the exam. Due to the significant and unexpected increase in cost, I declined to proceed with his vaccinations at that time. I requested to pay only for the exam, though I expressed concern about the pricing given the limited scope and duration of the visit. I was told that the standard exam fee is $93, but that it now increased to $115 due to the allergies identified during the visit. I reiterated that this was not a new finding, as it was the stated whilst booking the appointment. Unfortunately, the receptionist was unable to provide clear answers to my questions regarding the pricing. She then concluded with an offer to provide my dog's medical records and I should "seek care elsewhere." Overall, I was surprised and disappointed by this experience. While I understand that costs can increase, a significant and uncommunicated price change (particularly without clear justification) was both unexpected and frustrating.

On Day 5 of my vacation as I visited a very dear friend for the Christmas and New Year holidays, she decided to take me on a walking tour of Historic Downtown Jersey City, and our first stop was at Fussy Friends Pet Supply. Apparently, the fluffy black beast loved this place, so since he came along we had to stop in. Since it was Christmas Eve, I figured a treat or two for the little fella would be cool. I already knew he was a fan of the place, but would the same be said for me!? PURCHASE Kong Squeakair Tennis Ball ($3.99): He loved tennis balls especially ones that squeaked and he already destroyed the previous ones before his move to the east coast, so this was a no-brainer to buy as a gift. Here he was Christmas morning on my chest showing his approval of his new toy https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=PBgTVj5o1MldBroAsTKEfQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Spot Farms Chicken Training Stix ($7.99): My friend said this was one of his favorite treats, so into my basket it went. I wasn't aware of this brand, but he liked it which was all I needed to know. Chewy Stick ($1.99): This was a purchase by default because as we walked around the shop, he grabbed this from a tray and started chopping away; you bite you buy https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0uNkvJ4hxWe1zGqsFpWigA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE Greeted by a friendly young gentleman behind the counter, we merely planned to roam around until we checked out, so we barely needed his service. All was good. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) We walked, so this wasn't an issue. However, I didn't notice any private lots or structures but there appeared to be plenty of parking along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all surrounding streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A small store filled wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling with a plethora of pet products of both well-known and small brands placed on the floor and shelves. It was a bit cramped for my liking as they definitely maximized every inch of square footage. The burning incense was a nice touch. Decent natural lighting came through the large front windows and door while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs, but chillout music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=y1uNQPunyybbD-v4KPmkfQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Temperatures were in the 40s, so I was bundled-up from head-to-toe. Otherwise, this place was totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Fussy Friends Pet Supply was cool and a nice option for your pet needs, but I felt the product inventory and selection were a bit lagging probably due to the size of the store (they were completely out of the wet food he liked). In addition, I didn't know if they provided other services such as grooming, training, and the like. I guess I was more used to the major chains of Petco and PetSmart along with some of the places in my neighborhood back in my hipsterhood. The prices and service were fine. And, it was always a pleasure to support small local mom & pop businesses like this one https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-ENMHXDhfu0oQcQWfSt0FQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $14.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
