The staff, the vet tech and the doctor treated my cat Sofia and I with compassion, empathy, kindness and hands down best experience I've had at a vet. They showed me how to administer both medications. 1 in an eye dropper and other inside the cats ear. This is my first Yelp review and they definitely deserve 5 stars. My experience couldn't have went any better thanks to the people working 9/17/26. Ask for Michael Schindewolf if you're not sure is the best advice I can give. Ps Sofia is doing much better!

She almost caused me to poison 1 when she told me to put a full can of pumpkin in each meal. Luckily a friend is a Vet but lives in VA. When I mentioned it's 1 tsp per 10lbs she struggled with why we were there is we had a vet already. Explained a few times she lives states away. Then she accused my fiancé brought a different woman when she first began with our mate brothers, but it was always me as I found them! Very unprofessional. Always need to ask for answers, whether it's an anal gland expression or a serious ear infection. We wanted everyone to be made aware that she is wrong giving advice and can be very sarcastic if you ask a question! Save yourself the nightmare as I did not want to return after her refusing fiancé to hold his dog while being put down. We did see her when we got our rescues and my fiancé witnessed her disrespect and rude responses, trying hard to shame ya if you ask a question! If your pet is considered a family member like ours are, look for a caring and trusting vet elsewhere as we have many we wish we went with first!

By the comments left here, people either loved or hated with no in between. Personally I would…read morerecommend this particular vet for a number of reasons. The first is they will prioritize the visit schedule and will not make you wait if you pet is on death's door. Some of the other reasons include a thorough and complete exam with options for treatment and concerns discussed along the way. We had an incident with our 10 year old cat and his chronic asthma who was turning blue and couldn't breathe. We called several local vets including one that was new to our area with no luck scheduling an appointment despite the graveness of the situation. Excuses ranged from "you haven't been here in 2 years to no appointments until late next week." Choices beyond Little Egg Harbor are few and far between. As a last resort, we searched google for Animal ER/hospitals and discovered Jersey Shore Veterinary and made the call. After listening to us the response was "bring him right over now". The cat does not travel well so going to Barnegat was a challenge but thankfully a little O2, steroid shot and some loving kindness from the doctor literally saved his life. I see some had bad experiences, passed judgement on staff's outward signs of immaturity, doctor's dismissing input from owners but that was as far from our experience as possible. Going forward, we used the vet several more times and never waited for an appointment more than 24 hours for routine care or an hour or less for urgent/emergency care. The best part they are interested in your animals health and not "upselling" unnecessary procedures and studies. As with most pet owners, the health of one's companion is priority #1 and this office shares that feeling with every pet that comes through their door.

The care was great, and always professional, it was family and personalization. Fast forward to today, Dr. Steve Wurst passed away and his son Dr. Andy has taken the reins.

For all the changes and additions, the care, the expertise, the compassion, and the personalization has never changed, Dr. Andy Wurst and his dedicated staff have seen to that. And that my friends are why Barnegat Animal Clinic has constantly received 4-5 stars for customer service and reliability.

I prefer a holistic approach, but it's hard when In my experience many holistic vets don't want to deal with the mainstream side of medicine (tests, procedures, medication, etc.) when just managing the holistic side is a full-time job. As a result, I usually have to have two vets and they don't always agree on a treatment approach, which can be a problem. But somehow, Dr. M manages to do both and make it look effortless. It's the ultimate one-stop shopping for pet care. She offers cutting edge technology that I was not able to find anywhere else so I gladly made the three-hour round trip from my home. And look forward to doing it again anytime I need to. I appreciate that she is so knowledgeable and generously shares that knowledge - talking to her is like chatting with a friend, a brilliant friend. As busy as she is, she never makes you feel rushed and gives you all the time you need. The whole staff is amazing - shout out Anthony, Laura and Danica! Everyone is kind, compassionate and friendly, and the office is so homey it makes you feel like you're going to visit friends who just happen to be amazingly talented.

We were there before 4, I had trouble getting my dog and cat in the car which I explained to them when I was on my way. We get there and everything seemed fine until it wasn't. If you have a young dog it's extremely difficult even getting them to the vet let alone keeping them in a small cubicle sized room. We waited for over an hour, I spent an HOUR trying to keep my anxious dog calm. When I went out to ask what was going on the lady at the front desk was extremely rude telling me I was over an hour late for my appointment (not true). I tried showing her my appointment confirmation time but she didn't even want to see it. I have had pets my entire life, have been to many vets, and have never been treated with such nonchalant attitudes.
