“Dr. Cavalieri and the rest of the staff at Central Monmouth Animal Hospital have been nothing but professional, knowledgeable and compassionate at the hardest time in our dog's life. I brought my dog, Ruby, in at the start of January after she had become ill and Dr. Cavalieri helped every step of the way with figuring out what was going on with her. Dr. Cavalieri personally checked in numerous times between appointments over the past month and a half to see how Ruby was doing, brainstormed different ideas, and talked through things when we received our heartbreaking diagnosis. When it came time to say goodbye to Ruby, the euthanasia process was explained each step of the way to assure us that Ruby was not in pain at any point in time and gave us time to grieve. I cannot thank Dr. Cavalieri enough for everything that he had done throughout this time for Ruby and our family and will forever be grateful for the care and compassion that he provided. When the time comes to add a new puppy to our family, I will absolutely return to Central Monmouth Animal Hospital as I could not imagine going anywhere else. All testing, procedures, appointments, etc. was extremely reasonably priced and not in any way exuberant like other veterinarians charge.”
“Dr. Chiosi a great Dr. takes his time to explain things, very thorough with his exams. The staff here are also wonderful. Don't hesitate to contact them if you are in need of care for your pet.”
“This is a small office but every vet that i have interacted with treated my cats with kindness and professionalism. They are careful, thorough and do a good job. Pricey but what vet isn't?”
“We’ve been using Raintree Veterinary Hospital since we moved to Freehold almost seven years ago and they have been absolutely wonderful every step of the way! When we recently had to say goodbye to our dog, Kala, they were nothing but supportive and compassionate, helping us through the process and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. We’re truly grateful for the care they gave our family during such a difficult time.”
“Dr. Cummings is a great Veterinarian for diagnosis, radiology and surgery. Can’t say enough other then he is also so very nice!
The staff is friendly and efficient.”
“Dr has helped several animals in my family. He is patient and doesn't push unnecessary tests... for areas he knows that should be handled by specialists..he advises so your time and money isn't wasted.... he is a good honest person.”
“The Vet was extremely friendly. She answered all my questions and concerns. She took the time to listen. Although I have a snippy dog, the staff handled him with gentleness and kindness. I was recommended this Vet came recommended by a dear friend. Needless to say she was right about how friendly the staff is.”
“When we brought our pups home
We knew someday we would sadly need to say goodbye. Unfortunately, that time came sooner than we could’ve expected for my beautiful Harley girl. From the onset of symptoms to the day we said goodbye the doctors and all the staff were there to answer questions and lend guidance. Our calls were always returned, questions answered, and love for my girl given. We recently brought our boy in for a checkup and the comforting words from everyone meant more than they will ever know. I completley trust my babies in their care. We may not like to hear bad news but it’s taken better when it comes from someone who loves your pet as well. Thank you for being so wonderful during a difficult time”
“Dr. Boulos is a very caring doctor. My experience with him about the service he provides to my dogs Lukie and Loki is commendable. I will recommend his caring service to anyone. He is the best VETINARIAN Doctor in the town. Thank you to the team.”
“I cannot recommend this vet enough. Dr. Sharin is truly the kindest person ever and loves her job. Even during the worst of moments when one of my babies passed away, she was the absolute best and so kind to us. All of my kitties are patients here and will continue to be. Dr. Sharin and the rest of the Barnside staff are beyond amazing!!!”
“Colonial Animal Hospital was initially recommended to me for acupuncture after I decided to go a conservative route to treat my doxie’s IVDD. While my vet was not thrilled and so sure she would not recover without surgery, Dr. Vokral was onboard with trying acupuncture and was detailed in explaining it all. The staff there are all warm and welcoming and will not meet a better group to share in the little victories along the way. I’m happy to share that my girl does have a wobble walk down and would not trust anyone else with girl on this journey, as I’m sure it’s still some journey ahead. You will not find a better place and group to treat your pets.”
“I’ve been bringing my kitten here for the last couple of months for her check-ups and vaccines. All the staff here are very polite and friendly and truly cares for these animals. Dr. Bach and the techs makes me feel at ease with any question I have. Highly recommend for any animal friend!”
“I’ve had nothing but great experiences with everyone at this vet office. The veterinarians and vet techs are consistently empathetic, caring, and incredibly kind to my animals, all of whom were understandably scared to be there.
We had multiple emergency situations, including a cat with kidney disease and a dog with Addison’s disease, and the team was truly exceptional in how they handled everything. They took the time to guide us through each situation, explain our options, and support us every step of the way, which made a stressful time much more manageable.
They are on the pricier side, but considering the level of care, compassion, and expertise they provide, it is absolutely worth it for the wellbeing of my furry loved ones. I’m very grateful for this team.”
“Seamus - our 11 year old Beagle mix - has been a patient of Holmdel Veterinary Clinic for over a decade. (We also have Hopper - our crazy kitty who we adopted from one of HVC's veterinary assistants.)
Seamus just had his senior check up today. Unfortunately, Dr. Sturla found an issue that require's a specialist's care, so I'm a bit nervous and anxious about putting my sweet boy in the care of someone I don't know. I just hope everything goes well. Seamus is FAMILY. My husband and I need our sweet old sugar-faced puppy to live a long, happy, healthy life.
One thing I can say with complete confidence is that Dr. Sturla and his entire team truly care about their patients. My dog hates vet visits, but the staff at HVC are always so calm and gentle with him. I appreciate that they try to make the experience as stress-free as possible. (For both of us.) I'm an annoying "dog mom" who worries about every little lump and bump - but the staff at Holmdel Veterinary Clinic is always patient and accommodating. They take the time to answer every question and address all of my concerns. I never feel rushed or ignored. I am so grateful I found a veterinary clinic with such great staff! Everyone at HVC is always so welcoming and they make a such a fuss over Seamus. (He's such a little rock star!) It melts my heart to see how much they care. The people at HVC are true animal lovers. I knew I'd found a kind, compassionate vet the time I caught a glimpse of Dr. Sturla kissing my boy on the head. It was a small, sweet gesture, but it meant so much to me. It's definitely something I'll always remember.
Thank you Dr. Sturla and everybody at Holmdel Veterinary Clinic for so many years of kindness and compassion. Our crazy kitty is due for a check up soon, so we'll be seeing you again really soon! Warning: Get your thickest gloves ready - unlike his sweet canine sibling, Hopper's a bit of a tough guy!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about this office and about Dr. Connelly. From the moment you walk in, the entire place is spotless, professional, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. You can tell they truly care about both you and your pet.
Dr. Connelly is honestly one of the best vets I’ve ever met. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and always takes her time during each appointment. She never rushes, explains absolutely everything in detail so I fully understand what’s going on, and gives such helpful guidance. She also doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed and she breaks everything down in such a clear, calm way.
One of the things I appreciate most is how easy she is to reach, even via text. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing I can reach out if I’m worried or unsure about something with my cat, Boots. She always responds, always cares, and always goes above and beyond.
Finding a vet you trust is everything, and Dr. Connelly truly is exceptional. I’m so grateful for her and the whole team. Boots is in the best hands possible.”
“Fantastic clinic amazing diagnostic affordably priced. I traveled from Connecticut with both of my horses for additional diagnostic testing and care. Dr. Smith and her staff were professional, caring, and extremely thorough. So satisfied with the care that I drove 5 hours one way and will drive back in a second!!!”
“Best vet ever! Have been taking all our pets here for 3 decades and the care is superb! Dr. Boulas is a true professional yet kind and compassionate. Highly recommend him to all in need of a vet. Office staff is great as well!”
“Dr. Manziano is an amazing doctor!! She is kind, effective, and highly knowledgeable. We have brought our dogs and cats to her for years and totally trust her. Highly recommend.”
“Dr.Hughes recently came out to see my horse Gambino when he was colicking, and she was so great. I was so grateful, since we are not clients of Colts Neck Equine but my usual vet was not available, and she still drove from over an hour away to come take care of my boy during an emergency. She did such a wonderful job helping us manage his impaction colic on the farm, coming back again later in the afternoon to give him more fluids when he needed it and checking in with us by phone over the next couple days. Thanks so much to Dr.Hughes and the Colts Neck Equine team!!!”
“I brought my dog in for an eye issue and something else. They followed Covid guidelines and took my dog from the parking lot. They took great care of him as usual, and diagnosed a cataract in one eye. Referred me to an ophthalmologist for appropriate treatment. Thank you!”
“I have been going here for almost over 10 years. Absolutely amazing doctors. Even when they change front desk or nurses. Let me tell you the service is always 100% above and beyond. They all love animals.”
“I been going to Dr. Rose for years for my 3 legged Coonhound. Over the years Dr. Rose has paid so much attention to my baby girl Abbiemae. With all the issues Abbiemae has from gastrointestinal to chiropractic Dr. Rose addresses the issues. I will continue bringing Abbiemae to the Coltsneck Animal Clinic to see Dr. Rose Manizano she is the best”

“Jan. 2026
Our 1st time at the Country Animal Hospital. We saw Dr. L. The Dr. Was very knowledgeable with a great bedside manor.
The place is very clean and the staff is efficient and pleasant.
They were on Time, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes.
Parking is Plentiful, there is even a great Pizza/Restaurant next done in the same parking lot .
Lets talk money ?, I have driven past this place 100's of times. I always thought, this place must be expensive.
After trying so many vets, then found out they misrepresented them selves and who they represented.
It turns out that Country Animal Hospital,
On Texas Rd in Old Bridge, NJ was the most reasonable. Along with the animal along with their parents are aloud to go into the facility and actually speak to a human being face to face.
I strongly recommend Country Animal Hospital on Texas Rd in Old Bridge.”
