Fanwood Animal Hospital

"Very compassionate Physicians and staff. Definitely you can see the love they have for there profession."

"I chose FAH when I moved to the area in September based on the quality of the vets and the positive reviews. My dog, Noodle has food sensitivities and she has been in for several appointments over the past few months - the reason I am giving more than 1 star. Noodle started vomiting last night, and continued to throw up almost the whole night, then she had horrible diarrhea this morning. I was able to get an appointment this morning, brought her in, and she was given fluids under the skin, anti-nausea injection and I was sent home with antibiotic pills. From the time we arrived home, my dog started having bloody diarrhea. I needed to get the antibiotics onboard, but Noodle refused to eat or drink - even her favorite peanut butter. I had to put the pill in her mouth and wait for her to swallow. When the diarrhea got worse called the vet and while I was waiting for them to call back, I read online that in these situations it was best to keep your dog hydrated. So here I am, very sick dog who is sick from both ends - not eating or drinking, how am I supposed to keep her hydrated?! The vet returned my call and said, try to keep her hydrated and eventually the antibiotics would kick in. Well for 4 hours this afternoon, I couldn't get any fluids into my dog and the frequency of diarrhea increased. I called back late in the afternoon because I really didn't know what to do. A receptionist called me back and told me the vet said to go to the ER if I felt like Noodle needed to be hydrated. Now, my bill from the earlier visit was $772.00, yes over 700 dollars. I am shocked that when I called back during regular business hours because my dog's symptoms were worse, that I was told to go to the ER because they were not able to help with hydrating my dog. I chose this veterinary practice, and in our time of need I discovered that they were unable to supply what I consider basic care. You can decide if these are the people you want caring for your family. I am taking my business elsewhere."

"They are super friendly to begin with. The doctor was very professional and gave me a comprehensive run down of the situation with my cat, expectations and recovery. They were very efficient and did the surgery on the same day as the consultation. I'm very satisfied with their expertise and service."

"Took my old 21 year old family dog here today. (Yes 21 long eventful human years!) I called and they just so happened to have an opening in 2 hours. Our dog was living her last few days in pain and it was time for her to go to heaven and be in peace. The staff especially Dr. Ottosen was very compassionate and was very gentle with our girl. They were very thoughtful and I liked how they respected our time with our dog and even told us we can leave out the back if we wanted (so we wouldn’t have to see the other happy dogs in the waiting room.) It was very difficult to let go of our dog but we knew it was the best so that she wouldn’t have to live in pain anymore. I was so afraid it would seem very surgical and heartless but it was the opposite. They made the process easier and I am grateful. The paw print keepsake made me cry. Thank you to all the staff that made this difficult process an easier one."

"The visit was quick and we had great service! The vet and vet tech were so friendly and helpful. They got on the floor with my dog and gave him lots of love and treats. I appreciated the gesture!"
