North Jersey Animal Hospital

Had an emergency with our oldest dachshund who had something wrong with his eye on Christmas Day. We called north jersey day after Christmas after two other vets who were completely booked and wanted to charge emergency fee. North jersey came through with availability and affordability. They were amazing! So kind and extremely thorough.
Our dog Cooper had an abrasion on his eye an would have gotten worse if we couldn’t have had him seen.
His eye is so much better and loved that I got a call to see how he was doing. Very professional.
I highly recommend north jersey animal hospital.
They are our new vet.

I have always had dogs and approximately a year and a half ago I switched to this practice after reading the good reviews on Unilocal.I can’t say enough good things about both Dr Gabby Reidel and Dr Mark Reidel. When my older Bichon was getting to the end they were kind caring and most importantly extremely knowledgeable. They provide answers they are patient and they don’t charge exorbitant fees. They also board your pet if needed. Another plus is the office staff also provides your pups with plenty of TLC. For the first time my dogs don’t shake when they go to the vet instead they wag their tails!

Update: Shortly after our dog Chica’s ashes were returned, we received a call from North Jersey Animal Hospital. Dr. Reidel called personally to leave a message of condolence for our loss. While I cannot let my wife hear it because she would break down, I will tell her that the doctor did call. This is exactly the type of care and service that I had come to expect, and had always received from Dr. Reidel. Again, while we were NOT happy with the billing and treatment provided by one of the covering doctors (Kevin Shimel), the REIDELS are as good as it gets.

I’ve been going to North Jersey Animal Hospital for 30 years through their various veterinarians with my many dogs. Dr. Mark and Dr. Gabby are great. They are very knowledgeable and never rush you through a visit. The staff is great and I don’t ever have a problem seeing a doctor, even on short notice. They have referred me to the proper specialist when necessary and have helped me keep my 3 dogs healthy.

We took our shih tzu puppy here for his first check up as soon as he arrived to us. The vets and staff were so kind and helpful. They played with our puppy and made him feel relaxed. We had our children with us and they gave them coloring books and crayons while we were waiting. When the vet came he checked our pup and even let the kids listen to his heartbeat. They were so excited. We have been back for routine visits and he explains everything he is going to check for and explain the vaccines he is giving.

Yet another satisfying visit to this exemplary practice! I have seen both Drs. Riedel and they are thorough, relaxed, and down-​to-​earth. Practical recommendations, willingness to answer questions, even about alternative treatments (homeopathic, over-​the-​counter, homemade). I switched to this practice because they provide boarding, and it was confusing to verify that shots were up to date when it was time to board; the other practice was a bit more hurried, and we would end up seeing a different Dr. every visit. Here, even the techs/​assistants know my dog’s name even though she only boards once or twice a year – fabulous. Another thing to recommend them is that they are active with animal rescue, and usually have a few cats/​kittens available for adoption on display in the waiting room. (I never give 5 stars, but if I did, they’d be the ones to get them.)

My two ferrets, Bailey and Jameson, have gone to the North Jersey Animal hospital since they were babies. I absolutely love it there! Dr. Frantz is soooo knowledgeable about ferrets and always answers all of my questions no matter how ridiculous. You can really tell he loves working with animals and is always great with my ferrets. There aren’t a lot of vets in the area that specialize in the care of ferrets so I feel like I really lucked out when I found Dr. Frantz! I have recommended him highly to all of my friends.

I found these guys on a recommendation. I have been there a few times. Thankfully, the staff was mostly very pleasant and helpful. Dr. Frantz seems to know what he’s doing. They diagnosed something in my dog that 4 other vets couldn’t and it helped relieve her of some discomfort. My puppy passed away there :(and they were helpful and spent lots of time with me. The doctors are not very warm (in fact, quite cold) in a very dire time (Frantz and Riedel). I was distraught and if it wasn’t for Christine (at the front desk), I would have been in big trouble. So, they’re very knowledgable but don’t expect much sympathy from the doctors.

I will forever be in the debt of Dr Reidel — he got my cat off insulin. she was on 3 units 2x per day. that’s a LOT of insulin for a cat. Granted it was the special diet — hills DM prescription — that probably was the main factor, but still, no other vet had been able to make it crystal clear that this food, and strictly and only this food, would improve her ability to metabolize glucose.
i had said in my previous review that the front-​desk staff was very warm and friendly. well, i hadn’t yet met the «office manager». she’s quite the charmer. i think the rottweilers and pit bulls were more even-​tempered than this woman. she is rude and unhelpful and won’t look up at you unless you speak directly to her and then she sighs like it’s a big interruption. sometimes the female dogs aren’t the only bitches in there.
