This will be my first time ever writing a review. However, I feel the need to do so for those that loves their animals. Let me start by saying that Dr. Felix is the first vetanerian that I met who truly cares about your pet and is sincerely compassionate. He diagnosed my dog Pookie with cancer after going to several vets and not being convinced with the reports. One vet informed me the only problem Pookie has is that she is getting old and is the reason for her limping. When I took Pookie to Dr. Felix, he took the time to examine her thoroughly. Unfortunately, I did get the bad news my little Pookie is dying. She is now under the care of Dr. Felix, whom also took the time to call me after hours. He gave me instructions on how to care for her. I truly recommend Dr. Felix for those that wants the best service and is looking for compassionate and caring Doctor. I don't know how long I will have my dog with me. However, my family and I can now understand what she has been going through and can spend every little minute cherishing our time with her. read more

Doctor, assistant and staff are all very caring, skilled and professional. Whenever my pups were ill and or needed immediate attention they were very accommodating. I received great service for over 2 years. read more

Bloomfield Animal Clinic apparently is only taking new patients of 1 year or younger. I told them my 16 year old cat was vomiting all night. Receptionist recommended a place in Nutley and said "good luck" read more

So happy to have found Dr. Felix at the Bloomfield Animal Clinic. It has a convenient central location, clean facility and friendly family operated workers. Just know they are very strict with appointments and will tell you upfront about there fees. read more

I don't recommend this place. Upon arrival the Dr gave us his prices as if it we did not have the money to pay. I took my two Shih Tzu's for a check up. One was peeing blood clots and the other had mucus coming out his eye and ear infection. I was told both dogs are doing fine and the one peeing blood clots may be due to his diet. Apparently we were over feeding him. The dog was 20 pounds and ate twice a day half a cup of food. It made no sense. When I explained the dogs eating habits the Dr he didn't listen and said stop over feeding him. After spending 600 in check ups and x-rays, I decided take both dogs to the vet office I use for the French Bulldog as a second opinion. The Dr at the new office immediately noticed the dog who peed blood clots was pale, dehydrated and weak. She ran another x-ray, administered fluids and requested and full lab analysis. The Dr believed the dog may have a tumor in his bladder. The new Dr requested an Ultrasound of the bladder to confirm her belief and it turned out that the dog had a tumor in his spleen. The specialist set us up with an appointment for surgery but my dog did not make it for surgery. My dog all of a sudden stopped breathing and lost consciousness the day before surgery. I took him to the pet ER in Clifton where he passed away. He was only 8 years old. This crushed me and my family. There was nothing wrong with my dogs diet. The Dr at this office never mentioned a possible tumor, he never requested labs or an Ultrasound. Could we have caught this sooner if the Dr ran the same test the new Dr did? Did this Dr not run additional test because he thought we could not cover the expense? I have to deal with these questions every day. My second Shih Tzu has bad allergies, is losing his eye sight in one eye and has a chronic ear infection. The new Dr gave us allergy medication which is helping and eye drops to help produce tears. She also odered a full lab analysis. My second dog also had a tumor in his testicles and a mass growing on his rectal area. This is the same dog the Dr at this office said was fine. No testing was requested by this Dr for this dog either. The new Dr sent us to a specialist to see if surgery can be done for the second dog since he is 12 years old. Lucky for us the dog was fit for surgery and it went very well. He is now recovering nicely. read more

We have been bringing our furry family to Dr. Felix for years. He and his staff are wonderful,professional and most important caring. I find it amazing our pets are so at ease there like they can sense it. thank you Dr. Felix,Mrs. Felix ( sorry don't know her first name) and Veronica!! read more

Dr. Felix and his staff are truly outstanding. We have taken both of our dogs to him and he is always so thorough, caring, and informative. He always diagnoses issues quickly and effectively and his staff are always very sweet and patient. The prices are very affordable- probably the most affordable we have ever seen within the nearby areas, which is a huge plus. Recently, we had to make the hardest decision for a pet owner, and that was to put our pet to sleep, due to a severe illness. Dr. Felix and his staff were absolutely amazing during this tough time. They were all very reassuring, comforting and an overall blessing to my family. I recommend Dr. Felix and all of his staff at Bloomfield Animal Clinic to any and every one who owns a pet. You will be so glad you made the choice once you decide to bring your pets to this establishment. 5++++ stars! Thanks again Dr. Felix and staff :) read more

Took my dog to get shoot update doctor told me my dog was up to date took my dog to daycare and they told me that he needed some shoots call the vet back they tell me that they don't believe in that shoot fml DONT BRING YOUR DOG THEIR HE JUST TAKING MONEY MAKING DECISIONS FOR PPL read more

Great doctor, patient and honest. Other vets seem to always push tests and shots and he doesn't.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. My mother in law had two dogs which one he left with an infection so bad and did not even see the dog when she called he gave antibiotics and told her to bring her in two weeks. When she went he said why didn't you bring her and she said when I called you, you told me to come in two weeks. Did surgery on the dog who had a tumor and massive infection and the dog died two weeks later probably due to the infection which was never cleared up in the first place. Before he would even do the surgery they had to pay for the surgery like they would not have paid it, they have been going there forever. They do not care for the pets at all, its about the money. As for her other dog, she had a seizure on Wednesday or Thursday and she called but he was afraid of the dog so didn't see her, come to this weekend, her other dog started having seizures continuously and would not stop, my aunt called and left a message on the answering service pleading with the doctor to call her which was sunday morning as of this date, still no call. I called my vet in Rockaway on Sunday received a call back in 5 minutes and we took the dog to my vet within a half hour later which they took her she ended up passing away due to a brain tumor but she was comfortable and they did everything they could to keep her alive and they did not even get paid yet and it was not even their patient. The difference is they care for the pets and the first priority is to save the pet. Do yourself a favor stay away. read more

This vet is outstanding!!!! Dr. Felix is a dedicated lover of animals. He has taken care of my 13 year old Weimeraner, and knew my husband Michael who died in February 2018. He is kind and always available to me and all of his patient's parents. I love that he listens to me even if we disagree with the care and treatment of my girl since I know her so well. Veronica his receptionist is so accommodating to my needs for an appointment especially since I live 40 minutes away. The doctor's assistant is caring and loving to Charlie & me. read more

My English bull dog needs surgery, I have had to search for a good vet and reasonable prices this Vet explained everything he was going to do and what had to be done the price is fair. I feel confident that this Vet is going to save my dog. To be continued.... read more

This so called veterinarian did not give me a good feeling. I went to the clinic and took the cat that got hit from the front of my house. Once I got there I was really scared and just wanted to know if she was alive and because she was pregnant, I wanted to see if the baby were as well. He was very rough with her and when he told me that she was dead and even squeezing her belly. After he tells me this is you cat so you have to do something with her. Obviously I thought I brought her. Don't bring any pets here, he isn't nice and just wants to get paid. Rushed me out cause they were already closed and he had to go see another client. How ? If you were already closed. It was complete rush and inconsideration. read more

I just want to say this is a great place. Earlier today my cat got caught in between our reclining chair. I truly did not think she was going to make it. After finally getting her out, we rushed her to the Bloomfield Animal Clinic; luckily it's right around the corner from my house. They're not a hospital so I knew it might be an issue to help her but they took us right now. The staff and doctor were so helpful and welcoming. They assured us that she was going to be ok and that he was going to keep her for observations and we could get her a little later. So thankful for this amazing clinic and would highly recommend to anyone. read more

We brought our indoor Bengal cat here for 1.5 days of vomiting 5-7 times and refusing to eat or drink. Dr. Escudero seemed incredibly concerned, but slightly judgmental about the fact that we had a Bengal cat and about the fact that they are high maintenance and sensitive, and susceptible to IBS. However I work with animals for a living, and am very familiar with many different animals, exotic and domestic, and we take very good care of our pets. He suggested bloodwork, urinalysis, and possibly x-rays because she might have been impacted (which would have required emergency surgery). She had a slight fever at the time, a little over 103, but normal for cats is 102.5; she could have had a higher fever due to the stress of being at the vet, but I trusted his judgment and concern as he had such great reviews on Google. He noticed there was some diarrhea on the thermometer, and instead of taking a fecal sample he wiped it off and threw it away. I should have known right then and there that he should have taken a fecal sample, but again I trusted his judgment. Due to money concerns, I agreed on giving her antibiotics and doing bloodwork and urinalysis (ended up being $360) prior to doing x-rays. Not surprisingly, she was getting worse after I brought her home, and the next day I didn't receive a call back about her results until 3:30PM the next day, and they were inconclusive, showing slight dehydration which wasn't shocking since she hadn't been drinking or eating. This meant that we would have to move forward with the x-rays ($170), but they "did not have any time" for us to bring her in that day for x-rays, and they didn't have any open slots available for the next day until 4PM. Mind you, this is a cat that is clearly suffering and is getting worse. They finally agreed for us to drop her off the next morning at 9AM, and gave my boyfriend a call around 11AM to come pick her up so they can talk about the next step. The vet explained that the x-ray results were fairly inconclusive, he couldn't tell if she was impacted or not and the best bet would be an ultrasound (which they don't have in their office) and/or exploratory surgery (are you kidding me? This is not only expensive, but incredibly invasive surgery) that they wouldn't have time to do until the next week because it was Friday. Our cat's condition was worsening, and if she was impacted, I'll say again that she would have needed EMERGENCY surgery or she had a very high chance of dying. After another $350+ dollars, he sent her home for us to closely monitor her after giving her fluids and more antibiotics and testing her for FIV and FeLV (which we tested her for in the past and she was negative). Almost $850 dollars was spent already. Soon after we brought her home, she used the litter box and we noticed there was a fairly large worm in her stool. He called the vet immediately and he brought her back to be de-wormed (another $50 or so..). Once home, she was immediately feeling better, starting to play and eat wet food for the first time in days. If he had just taken a fecal sample on day 1, we would have only had to spend less than $200 and our cat would have felt better much sooner. I'm not sure if he assumed he could get a lot of money out of us because we have a Bengal cat, given the fact that he has so many great reviews. But I wanted to share my story so nobody else has to go through this. If we hadn't noticed that worm in her stool, we might have gone through with the exploratory surgery because we just wanted our cat to feel better and we wanted to get to the root of the cause. I will never be going to this vet again and absolutely do not recommend him. read more

Okay, so I haven't had much trouble with the quality of care at BAC. Also, Dr. Felix's family staff is great. The reason that I'm reviewing them this way is because I feel like when they first opened they had reasonable pricing and that they cared and took time with your pets. Now I feel like they're only here for your money. The office visit price used to be like $30 or $40 and it's almost doubled. The medication there is also expensive. The heartworm preventative is like $10.66($) a pill for the month which seems pretty reasonable until you go online and do your research and get your promo codes etc. and I ended up getting a 12 month supply of preventative for $70 which is the cost of 6 months when you buy directly from them. I was looking for a preventative plan for my dog and when I asked them if they would think about offering something they said that they were "private" and would not be doing that. Most importantly, when I first started seeing Dr. Felix, he would spend time with me and my dog. He would give a physical examination even if it was quick, no matter what we were there for. He would take the time to thoroughly explain everything and really make me understand what was wrong and answer all my questions. During my most recent visit, he didn't take the time to give my dog a look over at all and I felt so rushed and he seemed annoyed with any question that I asked him. Just last month I had called in with a problem and I was asking if they thought I should bring him in and the girls at the desk are really great about returning calls and answering questions so they had the doctor call me directly a few hours later. Again, he was rushing and told me to try something with my dog and I asked him what he thought the problem was and he said "you probably fed him something he should have because people are always feeding their dogs things they shouldn't be feeding them." I think it's important to note that I only feed my dog his proper food--grain, gluten and filler free treats and food, and everything is as natural as I can get it. He might get the occasional piece of fruit but nothing that isn't organic and pesticide free and in the most limited of quantities. My pets eat better than I do. So for the doctor to accuse me of giving my dog something that would make him sick was extremely offensive. Going forward I did what he told me to do with my dog and he said call him a few days later if it didn't work... It didn't work... So like clockwork I called back and wanted to schedule an appointment to have him examine my dog. They had no appointments available until the following week. I went and found a vet (with 5 stars and NOTHING BUT GLOWING REVIEWS) that was able to see my dog that same evening and I didn't even need to leave work early. That vet didn't charge me for the office visit which was amazing, they only charged me for the medication.How often does that even happen?! They also offered a preventative plan and gave my dog great care. I bought the preventative plan and had a teeth cleaning and update on everything and urine and fecal testing in less than a month... and it didn't cost me anything but my monthly preventative premium which has already paid for itself through the rest of the year. I used to feel comfortable taking my dog to BAC and I don't anymore because I wouldn't want a doctor to rush through my exams and I definitely don't want my pets to be treated that way either. read more

Dr. Felix is a kind, caring, and compassionate veterinarian who uses his exceptional knowledge of pathology to find the root cause of your pet's problems. After going to several vets in an attempt to find out why my cat was getting recurrent urinary tract infections (as previous vets had diagnosed), Dr. Felix performed some lab work himself and discovered that it was actually not a UTI, but a different issue that could be managed by changing her food. I've also been to vets who encouraged me to perform a lot of tests before trying different medications or less expensive options. Dr. Felix will do what he can to avoid unecessary pain for your pet and expenses for you. What's really important to mention is that his fees are VERY reasonable. ..more reasonable than any vet I've ever visited, and his care is superior! I highly recommend the Bloomfield Animal Clinic! read more

We love dr Escudero. We started bringing our dog to him two years ago and it was like night and day from our old vet. He has a great bedside manner and does not push overly expensive treatments. The office space is very nice and the staff is friendly. read more

Very knowledgable and caring veterinarian. Spends a lot of time with the patient and answers all questions.

Although knowledge, this vet allowed me to take my sick cat home because I couldn't afford to pay almost $250 for blood work to confirm an obvious hyperthyroidism diagnosis. read more

The bloomfield animal clinic is amazing.. have my 3 dogs that needed their shots and they were so attentive caring and quick. prices are reasonable and the dr is straight to the point but compassionate about our feelings as the owner. my male dog didn't have his testicles drop all the way down so he explained the risks of breeding and option to not operate and how it would affect my dog in the long run. he advised for surgery but was not pushy and send me home to think about it and when I decide I can return on my own time. the staff is very courteous and can squeeze you in same day for emergencies. I recommend them very highly read more

I found this place through the Internet and it was the biggest mistake I've made in a while and I don't want anyone else to make the same one. I genuinely believe that dr.felix saw an opening to take advantage of my situation with my dog and tried his best to do so. he clearly didn't think I was going to get a second opinion that day. Thank god I did because if I followed his advice I would have spent thousands of dollars for no reason. Dr.felix told me by dog needed a biopsy, to go to a cardiologist for a heart test and an ekg, an oncologist, made my dog do a heartworm test, charged me for a urinalysis that I never brought back because he wasn't going to do anything with it he just wanted and excuse to charge me even more money. I found out that day that from a reliable doctor that my dog didn't have a heart problem, didnt need a ekg, didn't need a heartworm test, definitely didn't need a biopsy, what he needed was blood to be taken from his tumors and to be sent in to a lab to test if they were cancer. That's the only thing that needed to be done at the time and Dr.felix didn't do that or even mention that at all. Dr.felix saw how upset I got and how much I cared for my dog and saw that I was willing to do anything for this dog and he tried to take advantage of me because of that. My gut instinct told me he was trying to scam me and that's exactly why I got a second opinion after I just wasted $400 to give to scam artist Felix. Please do not take your pet here! Horrible person for him to see a sick animal and concerned owner and to try to take advantage. read more
