I highly recommend Jennifer. Look no further. She is a kind caring and knowledgeable care giver…read more She came to our house for 3 days. She is a responsible, dedicated, and trustworthy person. Plus her background with animals working for a vet and as a zookeeper was impressive. She took wonderful care of our pup.

We texted her a lot and she answered us right away, reassured us, and sent pictures. She gave us tremendous peace of mind. Also her prices are extremely reasonable considering her knowledge, expertise, and flexibility. We can't thank her enough!

This place, and the caring people in it, made a very difficult day more bearable…read more I came in knowing that I was going to have to put my almost sixteen year old cat down, and as we pet parents know, Sidney was more than a cat to me - he was family. He got me through some REALLY tough times over the past ten years, and honestly I'm not sure how I would have gotten through the pandemic without him. So knowing his time with me was coming to a close, I left it in his hands to tell me when it was time to go. And, unfortunately, that was the day he woke up and his eyes said simply, "Enough." The staff was attentive and kind from the jump. An examination revealed the options, but it was obvious that whatever was happening was quite serious - and I was given a breakdown of potential next steps. Of course with Sid's age, putting him down was also an option, and I already knew this is what we were going with. I did not receive any pressure to run any preliminary tests, procedures, or additional costs. I was simply told what the options were, and provided with an honest opinion of what the outcomes could be. And all options sucked. BUT it was obvious that the people helping me genuinely cared, and it made the heartbreak just a tiny bit easier. I had never had to do this before and I came in with Sid alone, so the vet guided me through what we were doing, what was next, and gave me ample time in between to say goodbye. Again, no real way to make these things less painful, but there was something in the attention and care I was receiving that made me feel like I wasn't going through it alone. The staff was going through it with me. I also received a beautiful card in the mail from them afterwards, hand-signed with a personal message from each - and this small gesture brought such warmth to my heart that I felt I had to share it. Highly recommend this place.

My second visit to VEG, two years after my first, was for a completely different issue for my cat…read more Once again the team descended upon me and my boy immediately, and calmly and thoroughly triaged him and took me through all the intake questions. I spent 3+ hours there but it didn't feel like it. I was able to be by his side the entire time, there was hydration and snacks, and I was comfortable. I feel like every nurse checked in with us at least once. Even my cat felt chill enough after a while to curl up and nap in his large cage (they were quite busy and all rooms were taken). As off Feb '25 it was $200 for just the most basic care, for what it's worth, and in our situation it was very much worth it. They sent everything to my usual vet, including recommended follow up testing. Flippin' awesome and so helpful for moving forward after a terrible Sunday!

Dr. Russell, Nurse Shannon, and the entire team at VEG Northern Liberties were absolutely amazing…read more From the moment Stella and I walked through the door, we were warmly greeted and immediately assisted. We were taken directly into the treatment area, where I was able to stay right beside my fur baby. They checked her vital signs, made sure I knew where the restroom was, and even showed me the complimentary snacks and beverages. We didn't have to wait long before Dr. Russell came over, listened carefully as I explained why we were there, and thoroughly evaluated Stella. He quickly identified what was causing her pain and explained everything clearly. Stella received pain medication by injection, and we were sent home with additional medication to keep her comfortable. When it was time for Stella's injection, my sweet girl became a little grouchy. The team handled her with such patience and compassion, moving us into a private room so they could safely care for her away from the open treatment area. That thoughtful accommodation meant so much to me. We arrived at approximately 5:30 a.m. and were home within one to two hours. The cost was absolutely worth it to know my baby had been properly evaluated, treated, and relieved of her pain. I would definitely return, although I sincerely hope we never need another emergency visit! Thank you, Dr. Russell, Nurse Shannon, and everyone at VEG Northern Liberties ER. You took wonderful care of my Stella, and I am eternally grateful.

The emergency room veterinarians and technicians were amazing. One ER doctor called me multiple times over the course of 2 days just to keep me updated on my baby. How amazing! Then Jasper was transferred from emergency medicine to the internal medicine team. This is when we met Dr. DiBenedetto- our hero. I cannot say enough amazing things about this man. He showed true compassion towards me and Jasper, he worked extremely hard to determine what was causing Jaspers illness, spent a great deal of time providing me with all the details of his illness, treated him appropriately, and SAVED HIM! Nine days after discharge, Jasper started to feel unwell again. Luckily we already had a follow up visit scheduled, so off we went to Redbank again. Dr. DiBenedetto promptly determined the diagnosis, explained to me in detail what we could do to help him, and provided me with honest and empathetic options. We decided to treat Jasper at home, as funds were tight after a 4 day hospital stay. Now two weeks after that last visit, Jasper is THRIVING!! He saved him for 2nd time!! Jasper turned 9 on June 6th and I owe it all to Redbank's amazing staff- especially Dr. DiBenedetto, his tech Liz, and the rest of the internal medicine team. The empathy, compassion, thoroughness, respectfulness, and intelligence that Dr. DiBenedetto possesses is truly exceptional. Thank you!!!! PS- I also love that they have a coffee station, water, tea, and a vending machine. The establishment is always very clean and the front desk staff are polite. All the techs have always treated me and my pets with respect and compassion.

After 6 1/2 years of bringing my duck, Dudley, to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, I left today…read moreabsolutely appalled by how we were treated. After this experience, I would strongly caution exotic-pet owners before trusting this hospital with their animals. Dudley is an indoor pet duck and has been a patient here for 6 1/2 years. Today's appointment was nothing more than a routine nail trim. I specifically spoke directly with the exotics department when scheduling the appointment, so they knew exactly what type of animal I was bringing in. When we arrived, however, we were told to go through the emergency department. Emergency then sent us back to the regular waiting room. About five minutes later, we were suddenly told that Dudley needed to wait outside and that someone wearing full PPE would come get him, take him upstairs without me, trim his nails, and bring him back. I explained that this was not acceptable to me. Dudley is a pet who knows and trusts the people caring for him, and having a stranger dressed head to toe in protective equipment take him away from me would have been unnecessarily frightening and stressful for him. I asked to speak privately with a manager. Instead, the manager came into the lobby accompanied by the veterinarian and a technician dressed head to toe in PPE. We were then confronted in the middle of the lobby and told that Dudley is a bird and this is now "protocol." What I cannot understand is this: **Where was this information when I scheduled the appointment directly with the exotics department?** If Red Bank Veterinary Hospital has implemented a new policy for birds, why wasn't I told BEFORE I brought Dudley there? Why allow a longtime client to schedule a routine appointment, arrive at the hospital, get sent from one area to another, and only then announce that their pet will be handled completely differently than he has been for the previous 6 1/2 years? And perhaps most disappointing was the complete lack of compassion for the animal at the center of all of this. Exotic pets are not disposable, interchangeable animals. They are beloved family members. Their stress, fear, comfort, and individual temperament matter just as much as they do for a dog or cat. A veterinary hospital with an exotics department should understand that better than anyone. I was particularly disappointed with my interaction with Vicki in Exotics. After trusting this department with Dudley's care for more than six years, I expected communication, compassion, and at minimum some recognition of why I was concerned about suddenly handing him over under circumstances he had never experienced before. Instead, we left without even having his nails trimmed. I understand that veterinary hospitals may establish infectious-disease protocols, and I am not suggesting that employees should disregard legitimate safety requirements. What I find unacceptable is the **complete failure to communicate those requirements before the appointment**, the chaotic way this was handled once we arrived, and the apparent lack of concern for the stress their proposed procedure would cause a longtime exotic patient. Had I been informed when I called, I could have made an informed decision about whether this arrangement was appropriate for Dudley. Instead, we wasted a trip and put him through unnecessary stress only to leave without receiving the service we scheduled. After 6 1/2 years, this experience completely changed the way I view Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. If you have an exotic pet, particularly a bird, I would strongly recommend asking detailed questions about their current handling and PPE protocols **before you bring your animal through the door.** Do not assume that because your pet has been treated there for years, you will be informed in advance if the hospital dramatically changes how your animal will be handled. Dudley deserved better communication and more compassionate treatment than what he received today. After 6 1/2 years of loyalty to this hospital, so did I.

Perhaps if our animal was not breathing, or if he was having a near death experience we would have felt differently. Our pet had alarming symptoms that all signs pointed to getting immediate care. We did not get immediate care. When my husband arrived with our cat, his temperature was 104.5 and he was lethargic. Their solution was put them in a cool room. My home is air conditioned. They never came back to check his temp or help lower it. After 2 and a half hours we had to beg for updates and the staff used answers that didn't pertain to our pet when explaining what was happening. Again we had to solicit for answers. I understand short staffing and critically ill patients and having to wait in an emergency setting. I do not understand waiting six plus hours for nothing to have been done and absolutely NO communication that our pet was stable. I do NOT understand dismissing our concerns and not providing basic supportive measures (fluids, anti nausea). I do NOT understand taking our pet for an assessment and not bringing him back and not telling us why and not giving us information that was promised. It was stressful for every one of us. In the end he was stable enough to have waited for our normal vet appointment (which took 1 and a half hours, included supportive measures, xray, and bloodwork read in that time). Communication from the Blue Pearl staff saying he was stable and we could either wait for them but it would take a looooong time OR we could safely take him home and go to our vet would have made this experience exponentially different. I don't mind paying to know he is stable. I do mind being left in the dark. $300 later to have been told it could be a GI issue or it could be anything else is not helpful or warranting payment. We have alternative options lined up for the future if need be. Hopefully this Blue Pearl location can get its act together. We have always had a good experience with them in other locations in the past and this was truly anger provoking and disappointing.
