Very thankful! My dog is aggressive at the vet, and started to get aggressive towards me out of the blue. Was recommended from a dog trainer to get a second opinion for vets since my old vet said it was just aggression getting worse... Southern Ocean Animal Hospital was highly recommend & got my dog to be seen right away. Turns out my dog had a broken tooth and abscess. From the front desk staff to the animal tech to the doctor everyone was extremely nice and wanted to help. You can tell they care about your animals here! Very happy new client. Thank you!

I recently had the necessity of visiting Southern Ocean Animal Hospital with my 9-year-old Labrador, Elsa, and I can't express enough how positive our experience was.From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The reception team made us feel right at home and the waiting room is well lit, spacious and clean.They were efficient in getting us into the examination room and handling paperwork. The technician spent time with me to review the current situation and treated Elsa like royalty - she certainly enjoyed getting her treat.Dr. Dan took the time to thoroughly examine Elsa, explaining each step of the process and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. It was evident that the SOAH team genuinely cares about the well-being of animals, and has created a trusting and comforting environment for pets and pet parents.The clinic's facilities were clean, well-maintained, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This made the overall experience smooth and efficient, ensuring that Elsa received the best possible care.I am very appreciative of the personalized approach to Elsa's care. Dr. Dan provided me with valuable insights into her current health, and offered preventive measures and tips for maintaining her well-being as she enters her golden years.The entire staff at SOAH was friendly and approachable, from reception to billing and everywhere in between. Their genuine love for animals was palpable, and it reflected in the excellent care and attention they provided.I highly recommend SOAH to fellow Ocean County pet owners seeking top-notch veterinary care in a warm and caring atmosphere.

I have a female Rottweiler who is extremely nervous in a clinical setting. The team at Southern Ocean treated her with respect and kid gloves. Even through her fear and nervousness, they examined her and took blood for testing. They also gave her breaks in between to decompress a bit. A very good experience overall. I highly recommend Southern Ocean to any pet owner looking for great care for their fur babies.

After being misdiagnosed at another facility, my sweet Sherri was getting sicker by the second. Called SOAH and the wonderful staff got her in almost immediately. After being PROPERLY diagnosed by Dr. Pascetta, we were able to get the medication we needed and are on the road to RECOVERY!! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this facility!! If you are looking for sincere and compassionate care for your fur babies, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!! Sherri and I thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts!!❤️

I could easily write paragraphs of endorsements for the owners and staff of Southern Ocean Animal Hospital. Dr Dan, Megan, Gail, Kim, Jessica and the rest of the staff are fantastic. They do care about my 2 Labs health and I don't feel rushed when I have questions. When your dogs are a part of your family and yes, I mean that, it's very comforting to know they are there to provide the best guidance for Gunnar and Cooper's best life. Thank you!

Dr. Dan and the entire team at Southern Ocean Animal Hospital are my heroes! They have always provided best-in-class care for our dogs but my most recent experience further solidifies that they are the absolute BEST, most knowledgeable, most skilled, and most compassionate Vet practice there is (on top of being really wonderful people!).Our dog (Chance) has had many health complications over the years and was recently being treated for an eye infection, which took a turn for the worse one Friday evening. We immediately called Southern Ocean and Dr. Dan and the team stayed late to squeeze him in. What happened next is nothing short of heroic. During the evaluation, Dr. Dan realized that Chance's eye needed to be removed. He and his team stayed into the late night (Friday night) to perform emergency surgery to save our baby. On top of that, knowing that Chance would need special post-surgery care, Dr. Dan and Megan took him HOME with them to ensure he was supervised and had medical care!I truly don't have the words to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for Dr. Dan, Megan, Gail, Jessica, Kimberly, and the entire team at Southern Ocean Animal Hospital! They are simply the BEST!"Not all heroes wear capes, some wear scrubs!" <3

Staff are all outstanding.. warm and caring! My pup was to be a new patient and when I explained her chronic anal gland condition, she was given an appointment quickly. Dr Dan was attentive, I was not rushed, she was given a thorough exam. Within 2 weeks, Dr Dan operated on her and as soon as I got her home I could see she already felt so much better. She’s is healing wonderfully. Previous vet did nothing to help her, just kept telling me to give it time and it would improve but after 4 months it was time for a change.. so glad I did! A++ experience, highly recommend!! ?

We took our new puppy to Dr Dan, he was very kind, very informative, and took the time to talk and explain everything to us. I was very pleased with our visit. The only thing we didn't like was when they performed the shot to the puppy they took her away from us. That made us feel uncomfortable, we're new to the area, and in North Jersey and never had that experience.

I can’t say enough about this Animal Hospital! On the third day of my vacation in LBI, I noticed my Frenchie was having ear pain (scratching, rubbing it on the carpet, etc.) so I called around to a couple different vets I found from a Google search. I spoke with Megan on the phone and she was so friendly and informative. Although it was just a potential ear infection, it’s unsettling not knowing where to bring your dog when they don’t feel well in an unfamiliar place. Megan reassured me that we’ll get my dog taken care of. I hung up the phone, submitted my intake form online and was in the waiting room within 40 minutes of my initial phone call. Then I was taken in and seen by the awesome doc (and techs) in less than 10 minutes. They even called my usual vet and had my dog’s records in hand when we entered the exam room. They were wonderful with my nervous Frenchie and gave him a quick diagnosis and treatment - they even sent me home with an ear wash to help him in the future. We were back home within 2 hours of my initial phone call and that was all mainly travel time! I am so grateful to the incredible staff for their skill and compassion - and even more grateful that I now know where to bring my dog on vacation if ever needed again. Thank you all!
