We loved NLVC when we started with them. Everyone was great and our dogs were loved by the vets and staff. We have changed vets for Jasper, our 13 year old Jack Russell/Besenji mix. Our Kolby passed on 12/22/25 with undiagnosed (by NLVC) kidney cancer, he was 11 years old and very active in July. On August 5, 2025, we took Kolby to NLVC and saw a "new to us" doctor, Dr. Callan, because he had a seizure/passed out over the weekend, not eating well, vomiting and peeing in the house. Dr Callan did a urinalysis and Sr. Wellness Panel. Kolby was put on Proin for peeing in the house. (One month prior to the seizure, Kolby had a wellness visit on July 10th with a "new to us" doctor, Dr Paul, and everything was ok). After the seizure he acted like he felt fine but we obviously wanted him to be checked out. Dr. Callan did the bloodwork and said for us to just watch Kolby and video him if he has another seizure. The bloodwork showed everything as pretty much normal and the Proin seemed to help with the uncontrolled peeing. On September 2, we had Kolby's meds refilled (Proin and something for nausea). On November 18, 2025, we took Kolby back to NLVC and saw another "new to us" doctor, Dr. Omlor. We took Kolby because he was losing weight due to his decline in appetite, vomiting and chewing his hair off. Dr. Omlor gave Kolby IV fluids and an injection for nausea. Keep in mind, my husband and I trusted this veterinary clinic and thought we were doing the best for our Kolby. On December 9, 2025, due to Kolby's decline in appetite, weight loss and hair loss, we took him back to NLVC. Again, he saw Dr. Omlor for a recheck. Kolby had a significant behavior change in the past week. He was barking at nothing, staring into corners and peeing in the house again. Dr. Omlor said that "The behavioral changes you're seeing could be related to something called cognitive dysfunction syndrome, which is similar to dementia in people." At this point we should have asked them for x-rays, but we aren't doctors. By Saturday, December 13th we headed to Urgent Care in Newark. They immediately performed x-rays and found a mass in one of his kidneys. They made us an appointment for Monday morning at Pinnacle Veterinary Specialist in Glen Mills, PA. They performed an ultrasound and found that the kidney mass was cancerous and had now spread to the other kidney. He also had a blood clot that could move at any time. They suggested that it would be compassionate to go ahead and euthanize him. We couldn't leave him there. We opted to bring him back home and make him as comfortable as possible. We did and one week later we had to let him go. There are no words to say how much that little Prince was loved and horrible to think how much he suffered from August to December. We truly believe if we had a regular vet who was the only one he was seeing, they would have suggested other measures to diagnose him. NLVC failed us. We called today to get Jasper's records and I let them know about Kolby. The girl who answered the phone didn't identify herself and when I said something about the vet revolving door, she said that they "have a lot of veterinarians". We needed consistency and someone who would love our dogs. There have been several staff members there who were wonderful and we also love Dr. Meredith and loved Dr. Gruber. Unfortunately, Dr. Gruber left long ago and we never see Dr. Meredith anymore. It also appears that many of the staff members that we loved so much have also left the practice. The young lady who answered the phone today was just doing a job. No heartfelt compassion - all that I got was a "sorry for your loss". Yes, and we are sorry that we have to leave and cannot recommend your services. RIP our sweet Kolby - aka Little Prince... read more

New London Veterinary Center - Kolby's last Christmas - he loved his stocking. - Veterinarians Near Me - Newark, Delaware

See all

Took my new kitten because he had extremely dirty ears. Vet doused ears with cleaner and used big qtips and took 15 minutes to clean them. One week later his ears were filthy again. Took him to VCA people's plaza and vet said it was an ear infection and put my cat on medication ear drops. Vet said his ears should not have been cleaned. Ten days on ear drops, and infection is gone. Looking at reviews on yelp, and my own experience, I'm wondering if the "vets" at New London are really vets? Is there any kind of agency that checks on this kind of stuff? Anyway, don't take your animal there if you care for their wellbeing. read more

Will not be bringing my pets back here. My family and I had used Dr King for years before she was taken over by these so-called vets. After attempting to weigh my cat, they couldn't properly, so they guessed bc the scale was broken. Dr. Gruber came in the see my cat for his annual check up and to check out his Stomatitis (inflammation of gums). Dr. Gruber did not stay in the room long enough as he is afraid of cats. A vet, afraid of cats. The nurse carried on with exams where she proceeded to administer two temperance shots.. She then proceeded to tell me he will need his teeth removed bc of stomatitis. After telling her medication has always helped and kept his teeth in check she still insisted that teeth removal would be best. She carried on with only 1/2 of his annual exam, charged me for the full. After receiving the medication, they did not give me a syringe, I had to ask for one. The did not tell me how many times a day to administer meds/how much/any form of protocol. After leaving I noticed they gave me a powder. Turned back to where they added water to mix meds together. Do yourselves and favor and take your animals elsewhere. read more

We would not recommend this vet. Avid dog owners, of both lab and retrievers. Dr. king came highly recommended however her replacements are very disappointing. Took two visits, that we were charged for both only 3 days apart to diagnose a routine ear infection. Last sick visit they tried to charge us for an ultrasound or X-ray for diarrhea. Go somewhere else! read more

I took my dog there initially due to his picky eating and kidney issues. I appreciated how they were so practical with their approach and did not perform diagnostics that were not useful to the situation. I finally had to put him asleep and they couldn't have been kinder. They gave me time and I was able to hold him as the vet administered the shot. The tech was also wonderful during this time. I don't plan on having another dog but if I did, I would go there. read more

I was referred here by someone I know. They are a closed practice so they need referrals. I found an injured stray cat and needed to find an inexpensive vet. I called them up asking for an estimate. The receptionist told me they don't disclose prices to non-clients and also it depends on what you get done and they don't know what is wrong with the cat so she doesn't know. I asked them what the basic exam fee would be so I know what to expect. She told me it depends on the visit. I ask her for an estimate and she says I don't know. So what she's saying is I could be hit with a $40, $60, or even $100 fee for an exam just for walking in the door but I wouldn't know what it is until I get charged! I'm sorry this is ridiculous. If I go get a service, I need to know the price. I guess it's their way of saying, if you have to ask, you can't afford it? read more

Save yourself the hassle. This is all truth!!!!! Jim, Clyd and Jess are all liars and the rudest ppl you will ever talk too. They are back stabbers as well two faced!!! They don't care about your animals. They want your money only take referrals only as they want to sucker you in to see if you got the money to spend. If you don't well that's something else you probably will figure it out down below which does say something for real!!!!!! Well let's start the review. I'm sure you can figure this out on what to choose yes or no to use them . I say I would not recommend this place at all. The staff is very rude and lies to you as they make up stories just so they can cancel your appointment. My animal has some serious medical issues and all I did was ask how much is initial fee to walk in the door and they couldn't tell me as it was policy. I have every right to know how much that I'm going pay when I walk into that door not counting any tests or any kind of lab work. The girl said that I was rude and that's why they're canceling the appointment. I talk to the manager Jim and he said that everything will be fine and you can bring the cat in as they will look at him with the doctor. Jim gave me his word!!!!!! My wife also heard it from his mouth!!!!!! I called the day before his appointment to verify that he was coming and they tell me that they canceled it despite what I was told two days ago that he was welcome in. I told them to ask Jim!!!!!! When they asked him about what he said about the appointment was still on and we be OK. Jim denied it all the way that we even had this conversation and my appointment was still canceled I also should've listen that some of the negative reviews that people post it because it's the truth. Reviews are everything and please take my advice!!!!!! I would not advise you to take your animal here because you don't know what kind of service you're going to get along with the animal care as well. In the future if anybody ask me for any vet to take an animal too? I would definitely not on my deathbed recommend this veterinary clinic. It's how they handled the situation as they are non-professional to run even a business like that and say that we treat animals but deny their special care. WTF!!!!!! ‍‍ In my opinion it was probably about all about the bill because they got burned before and they probably thought I'm one of them people. I was just asking how much the initial visit would cost just so I have an idea. If that's how they work then once again I would definitely not recommend them just because of how they are, heartless, non-caring, and non-reasonable in any manner whatsoever when is their mind is made up. I'm glad I found another vet that will take my fur baby. So I'll be very glad when he gets the care that he needs now from another office that doesn't want to play circus game and tell lies because they have their policies. Please don't go here!!!!!!!!!!!! They even called the cops on me bc I said that I wanted to go up there and discuss this with them. Cherry Hill Dog and Cat Vet was a place I was told about from word of mouth from my neighbors and I was so pleased how well they took care of my animal. New London Vet is nothing but politics and money. They don't care about you honestly its your wallet... read more

We have been bringing our dogs to Dr King for 7 years . Love her! She takes excellent care of our greyhounds and Sprinters. We trust her and have confidence that all she does, she does for the well being of our girls. Thanks to everyone! read more

I took my bearded dragon here after he stopped eating for almost two weeks, they have one exotic pet vet and she is fantastic. She was kind, considerate, and straight forward. She was able to tell me what was wrong and how to prevent it in the future. The appointment was relatively inexpensive for the quality of care I received and the medications were fairly priced as well. Unfortunately my beardie didn't make it, to no fault of the vet, they did absolutely everything that could have been done to save his life. read more

I usually don't leave reviews but I just called to schedule an appointment and the individual I spoke to on the phone was VERY rude and hung up on me...would not recommend this place read more

We love New London Veterinary Center and will really miss the staff there when we move out of the area. Everyone remembers us when we go in--with or without our pets. When the pets come along, they get showered with love and affection. The quality of the care is wonderful--Dr. King was able to diagnose irritable bowel syndrome in our cat, who now eats a special food prescribed by Dr. King that also cured her gingivitis. Extra props to them for discounting care and donating vaccines and puppy exams to THREE of the dogs we have raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, as well as two other puppies currently in the program--and they have sponsored many other local Guiding Eyes dogs, too. We recommend them to everyone we know! read more

Where do I start, Dr. King and her staff have been so good to our family over the past 15 years. Dr. King has always been there for us in both the good times and bad. Her staff is always upbeat and helpful and has always greeted our pets (and us humans) with a smile. We are very happy and feel extremely blessed to have and continue to take our pup to New London. read more

They are not accepting new patients unless one has a referral from a current client. I guess that means they're good...or that the population density here is high (it is; this is a college town)...or that there's a shortage of vets (don't know if that's true for small animals, tho it is true there's a shortage of lg. animal vets.) read more

Our dog has been a patient at NLVC for 6 years. We love this practice and plan to be here for as long as we have pets. Every vet we have seen at this practice is warm, engaging, knowledgeable, kind, and gentle. The front desk staff is fantastic; they remember our little dog and love her like she is a long lost friend every time we come in. They know how to make a pet and her owner feel special. Dr. King, the owner, is truly living her passion -- taking care of animals. She runs a great practice. read more

I would love to be able to take my cat here, especially because it's right next door to my apartment complex. I can see the building from my living room. Unfortunately, you need a referral from a current client/patient to be seen here. I find that so terribly unfortunate. What are you supposed to do if you just moved into the area and don't have any friends yet? Should I try to befriend people with pets in the hopes that I'll be able to bring my cat here someday? I don't think it would bother me half as much if I didn't live right next door to it. read more

We have been with New London and Dr. King for almost 26 years!! And 3 dogs!! Can't imagine life without her and her staff, they are angels on earth! Dr King has the best heart and she educates us with everything we need to know. We consider her and her staff as part of our family because they truly care about our pets well-being. Not only do we love this place but our pets have always loved it too! Dr. King and her staff are warm, compassionate, reliable and professional. No vet is better than Dr. King!! read more

My dog is wonderful, but not the easiest patient. Everyone at New London has been absolutely wonderful and so patient with him. I also never feel like they are trying to sell you any type of care that is not nessissary. I am sorry I need am moving and need to change vets. They have fantastic costumer service and are very good with what they do. read more

We just had to put our cat to sleep and you couldn't ask for a more compassionate vet, vet techs, and office staff.
