Providing end-of-life care and bereavement care with distinction

Welcome…

I know how hard this moment must be for you as you search for the best way to say good-bye to your beloved pet.

I am here to help you and to serve both you and your pet in equal measure. I am a licensed veterinarian and a certified Pet Loss Counselor. You’ll be in good hands through this difficult phase.

You may call to speak with me directly at 732-693-7624 and I can set up everything for your appointment. Or you may register as a client of the practice and request an appointment online for yourself. If we haven’t spoken yet when I receive your online appointment booking information, I’ll contact you to confirm all the details.
