I recently gave my guinea pig over to this animal hospital and paid for her to be cremated and returned to me. Instead they did a group cremation and lost my animal’s remains. They claimed they never spoke to me about private cremation when I spoke to two people about it and want to refund me half of what I paid. Absolutely not. Very poor communication and extremely unprofessional. No compassion. You don’t even deserve one star. Shame.

Awsome on the phone!!! This is my first cat 🐈 and first pet I've ever had. Sphinx has a check up on Friday September 3rd. We are so excited!!!!!!

My name is Tom Savage. First review ever (really don't enjoy publically growling, snapping at peeps). Age around about 11 or 12 years; 140-150 lb Italian Mastiff/Cane Corso. My owners are Jeff & Lori Rosen. Everyone luvs my mom. My Dad; He’s an M.D. and others have told me that he can be a real P.I.A. I’m sure they are probably right since his bark hurts my ears sometimes, but he rescued, rehabbed me – taught me manners, and I luv him deeply. You could say I’m his Shadow (which is what they named me at the Philly jail)…at least when I am up and around.I sleep a lot now. Originally, I’m from a tough neighborhood, bad situation - a Philly ASPCA somehow pulled me from a gang when I was younger. My family rescued my sister a year or so before me (a mastiff like me; she was smaller, sweeter, and less rambunctious), and we were inseparable for a decade until she started getting really bad neck pain last summer; lots of doctors visits, tests. She was crying, yelping a lot. The house was filled with worry. I could feel it. I was sniffing and pacing looking for her, the whole family was crying for days. She had cancer I found out, but not the kind that could be cured from an operation like I had a couple years ago; mine was near my kidney and liver. My sister and I (and my parents prior dog kids) had always gone to Oak Tree animal clinic since we were puppies. Few docs I got attached to and even let them rub my head – like Dr. Shauna; they all seemed to leave. I’ve had a rough time since my cancer operation which was well done by one of their referral surgeons a few years ago. I developed something called GOLPP. Basically, my bark got hoarse, trouble swallowing, and my back legs got really weak; something to do with nerves and being old. Lots of arthritis all over my body…. x rays look like I'm 25 dog years old. Still, at times I can actually shuffle and hoist my way into the car or truck – but I can’t manage to get out. Those darn back legs give out. My parents bought an ugly orange dog stretcher on Amazon and stuck it in the basement just in case. I get a special homemade diet that my mom cooks daily for me; I can swallow it without choking and need to eat at an incline; I also take a thyroid pill that I have been on since my tumor surgery. My Dad & his peeps get really angry when people abandon us 4 leggeds, or other living things; humans turn us into pounds or shelters because we get too old or sick or for no particular reason. My Dad never thought to abandon his ill Covid patients and kept his medical office going – even though many closed, hid, ran out. He went where he was needed. I don’t understand why this group of vets wouldn’t refill my thyroid pill when asked. And it is not the first time something like this or worse has happened. They refused - despite us going to them exclusively, regularly since I was a pup. They refused my usual refill bottle (well – they didn’t totally refuse having conceded to give me just enough till my next appointment but less than standard refill bottle). They insisted that I go to the office even though I really can’t anymore. They know my condition. They know that I just want to be kept comfortable. Just doesn’t make sense. My dad even offered to let them do a video visit or house call with me.They may try to refute these ruff words, but we –including Mom & a few others -witnessed, heard the whole thing. U don't like him-fine- but what did I do to deserve this? My parents say only one word describes this: Abandonment. Vets, like human doctors, should not abandon their elder care-seeking & debilitated patients. Especially those who have been going there, loyal since childhood/puppyhood. There is always a creative solution. Doctors should never do that to any elder- infirm canine or human. He says something happened to this vet group during the last decade or so; Somewhere along the line, they lost their humanity; somewhere along the line, they lost their soul.

They called me after I was 3 minutes late for an appointment and I was literally pulling into the parking lot. Not exaggerating it was 3 minutes. Normally you have to wait 45-60 minutes for your pet to be seen and I have never complained as I know life happens. When I was leaving I addressed this with someone from the admin department and she said she “didn’t agree” that this was inappropriate. I should not have been late but 3 minutes…? This is not the first time people have been rude. Vets are great but support staff is not spectacular. Also beware- They try to price gouge.

I always trust the advice the vets have given to me. I feel like they have my pet's best interest in mind. My dogs are reactive and very scared but, since almost all of the staff is fear free certified, their visit was better than I expected! #FearFree for the win!

Dominic has been so empathetic and helpful whenever we call about our pups. If he answers the phone when we call, I know we’re going to be well taken care of. He is very knowledgeable and makes everything so easy. Thank you, Dominic!

I made an appointment for my dog who was very sick. I paid the $50 deposit because I was a new patient. I just moved to New Jersey and hadn’t had a chance to find a vet for my dogs yet. The gentleman on the phone was super nice and told me in case of an emergency to bring my dog to Redbank before my visit. Well my dog passed away and when I called to cancel the appointment the office staff was extremely compassionate and expressed their sympathy for my loss. They also refunded my deposit because of the situation. They didn’t get a chance to see my dog but I will be bringing my other dogs to them. Just the 2 phone calls I had with their staff tells me this is the Dr. I want to care for my animals. Thank you Raritan Animal Hospital for your compassion and empathy for my fur baby.

The girls who took care of my yorkie were so gentle & loving to her & the vet explained every detail diagnosis & treatment plan step by step. Thank you all for making this nervous dog momma feel it ease!

Very happy with the care my cat received. The entire staff was incredible. Everyone was very caring and compassionate.

I truly couldn’t boast enough about this hospital. They are always so patient and compassionate, have great vets and incredible bedside manner. If you’re on a waitlist to be brought on as a new patient, the wait is worth it. Their staff, from doctor to vet tech has always treated me with such kindness. Will always refer other pet owners to this place!

Took my sick cat and services where a little strange with covid. But he is doing better. The staff and the doctors amazing.. doctor was very sweet and explained everything that I was able to understand. Highly recommended.

Just switched vets for my puppy, the service they provide is great. The people who work here are friendly and caring. I knew they were going to treat my pet as more than just another animal. They were also very informative and answered any questions I had. They weren't sales people and never pressured me to buy or purchase anything. They provided a first time puppy package which was awesome and had treats, a leash and some informative packets.

This place is incredible. Everyone will complain about the higher prices, but this place is the epitome of getting what you pay for. My dogs are nervous, they're large and they used to hate the vet - but they LOVE Raritan. Raritan has a very animal centric and stress free environment that I can't even put a money value on. The way they remember their patients and make everything so calm and fast, I really cannot say enough good things about Raritan and the staff. Roscoe and Zeus approved! If you have a nervous dog or are sick if vets that do not care, please check out Raritan.

Nice place. A little confused on why you still cant go in…and sit in the car for a hour but it is what it is. Also 100$ for my dogs 1 month supply of pills and 90$ for the rabies vaccine is a little high since the town will do it for free…but it is what it is…been going here for a while and they mostly have a nice staff. Will return

They have been my vet for about 3 years now. Always fast with prescription refills and great at communication during visits.

The vet and care that our dog received was wonderful … the overall experience and office staff were not. When I dropped off my dog in the morning for surgery, the process was slow and frustrating. I stayed on hold for over ten minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge me and come out to get the dog. They were mostly polite but fairly terse. My dog waited so long for surgery that when she came home, she hadn’t had enough time for the anesthesia to wear off and we were up till after midnight with her until she could eat something and take her post surgery medication. It was definitely a frustrating experience and I’m glad that they aren’t my primary vet.

Dr Spodnick and Dr Mayer are truly the best vets I've ever come in contact with. My dogs love them. They are so kind and compassionate. They always know exactly what's wrong with my dogs and fix the problem immediately. Love them so much.

Very, very spensive. Front desk service horrible. They throw doors all the time. Bad customer service. No compassion 💔 at all.

Dr. Levine and Dr. Mayer were so helpful and friendly. My family feels grateful they were able to do so much for Beastie and figure out what was causing her medical issues. We’ve been to several vets and only Raritan was able to provide real care and actually get us answers. Thank you guys so much.

Had an emergency with my little dog who has been a patient here since he was born and they told me that they wouldn’t take him because “they don’t handle emergencies”, I had to run and find a new place after 18 years be treatment here, worst service for a loyal patient. They did give me a name of another vet who takes emergencies. The other vet they suggested was 30 minutes away. 30 mins away is absolutely not helpful in an emergency.

Great staff. Great service. Lily made new friends.
