I grew up in Union City, and subsequently have been going to Carlos for about 10 years. While the…read morewait is very long for routine visits, surgeries, and check ups, he truly does care about your animals AND charges incredible prices, and that's why he's so busy. I've read a few reviews about people being taken in after others arrived first-- but I think I can explain part of the reason why. I grew up with 3 pets over a span of 16 years, and when those animals started showing signs of sickness and suffering in their old age, I was devastated. After fully accessing and making sure that euthanasia was the right decision for each of those pets, Carlos would bump me to the front of the line because he does not want to see both the owner and pet suffer longer than they need to. He's even tried to give me senior pets a chance by providing them with daily fluids and different medications to see if they would improve even if their outlook didn't look so good. After my most recent visit with my cat of 16 years, he comforted me while I was in tears, made sure my cat was the least stressed out she could be, and prayed over us after we said goodbye. There were newborn puppies yipping nearby that he had just assisted birthing, and one of the assistants let me see them (not touch of course) and I was able to appreciate the beauty of the circle of life. I received both the ashes and the paw print imprint in just a few days. Carlos CARES. I will be taking in my new young cats to get their spay and will happily wait the long hours to receive the quality care that Carlos provides. RIP Oreo, Waka Waka and Temone. They got the most respectful send off they deserved.

While searching for our forever furbaby, we came across this place online and drove right on over…read more This no kill animal shelter in Bloomfield was easy to find. We absolutely loved the staff there...every member has such a passion for each and every one of the animals they bring in there. They do their best to take their time to find out all of the dogs and cats personality's and characteristics which helps the pet and their new owner adjust to their new lives together. We wound up adopting an amazing 6 year old Pitbull Terrier named Ray-Ray. The paperwork for the adoption was not overwhelming and the adoption fee was $250- a small price to pay for unconditional love! The day we bright him home- they provided us a collar, leash and a bag filled with food treats and toys to help us get started! They also provided us with the necessary paperwork and tags for proof of check-ups and shots. For those who need this information- surrender fees are $65..which is also a small price to pay if for whatever reason you need to surrender your pet- and at least if you bring them here, they will not be killed and the staff will do their best to find them their new forever home.

This is one of the reasons why a lot of ppl choose to buy dogs because adoption discrimination happens with pets too. I was 100% truthful on the application & left nothing out. I met the dog I wanted & absolutely fell in love with her, but the whole time I got the sense this woman did not want me to have the dog. She mentioned all these things that it felt like she was trying to sway my desire to get a dog but I brushed it off & told myself she just really cares about these animals. I emailed Barbara Fox who apparently makes the final decision to let her know I was interested, 3 days went by & I heard nothing. It wasn't until I sent another email that I received a response saying many ppl were interested in the dog & they will make their decision soon. Only 10 minutes later I received another email (by mistake) from the foster Rhoda Glass assassinating my character. The woman completely lied about the interaction that happened in her tiny apt where she had 5 dogs including the dog I was interested in. These ppl can hide behind the excuse that they care about an animals welfare when in fact they're just bigots. *see email in pictures*

(Visited 11/30/2022 WE @ 2:30pm): Were they and their associates at the height of veterinary…read moreservices!? Since my dear friend moved to Jersey City last year along with a furry family member we shared during the pandemic lockdown in 2020, she found Heights Veterinary Associates as the new place in her neighborhood to take Rasputin, a Scottish Terrier. Needless to say, you needed to do the research and find a comfort level wherever you took your pets, and after a few attempts, she landed at this place. This was my first visit here as I helped her out, so did I have the same feelings about this place after she vetted it out!? PURCHASE Bordetella Booster Shot ($76.00): More commonly known as the medicine to prevent "kennel cough", it was time for Rasputin's 6-month injection. Although I couldn't recall how much we paid for this shot/booster after we first got him, the price seemed affordable and fair. And, I didn't notice any side effects after he received the booster - yay! SERVICE The appointment was easily made over the phone. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a lovely female receptionist, and minutes later a male vet appeared and walked Rasputin to the back. Before we knew it, both male vet and Rasputin were back, they provided Raspy with a treat, a quick payment was made, and off we went. Thanks for taking care of our "little black beast"! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) We simply took the 15-minute one-way walk from my friend's place. Otherwise, I didn't notice any parking lots but seemingly sufficient street parking along the main drag of Kennedy Blvd. and all surrounding roads - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quaint office space with a small front lobby/waiting area that included a tiny reception counter, a couple places to sit, plenty of banners https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=g1UryCiILeVqRNVOm7E-vQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and posters hung on the walls, and finally towards the back looked like a few vet exam rooms where your furry friends were taken for treatment. Plenty of natural lighting came through the front windows and doors while various electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I couldn't recall any TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=aatsq9lYom2qaDE4V7V0Gw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... if it weren't so freakin' cold. OVERALL I found Heights Veterinary Associates to be more than adequate for all of Rasputin's needs and glad my friend found them. I honestly didn't have much to base my opinion upon; however, I liked the positive vibes, and Rasputin seemed to enjoy his time at the vet and seemed like he was even looking forward to the visit! I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $76.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
