Dr. Demeo has been caring for our pets (3 dogs,and at one time 2 cats and a parrot) for over 13…read moreyears now. Dr. Lichtig joined the practice several years later and has seen our beloved dogs through some tough times as well. Many of the staff have also been there for well over a decade. The entire staff are caring, compassionate, professional and true lovers of animals. Dr. Lichtig diagnosed our Bandit with cancer about 5 years ago and the surgery she performed gave him another 5 good years with us. We have always been able to count on Dr. Demeo for dependable diagnoses and prognoses and a full and realistic presentation of treatment options. Her advice is equally tempered by her professional knowledge, her experience as a pet owner and her love and empathy for the animals in her care. The practice is also up front with and considerate of the cost of care (though we were never able to wrangle a family discount for our brood). We lost our dog Samantha a few months ago at 16. Bandit (14 years old now) has been struggling with mostly mild symptoms of Cushings Disease for the past year but took a dramatic turn for the worse overnight and is clearly in pain today, unable to move. We fear we will have to let him go today. Unfortunately and unusually, although we called first thing this morning, Atlantic Highlands Animal Hospital are unable to see him until early this evening. They have always been able to get us in during emergencies before, but there are special circumstances today. Bandit is suffering right now and it is difficult to allow that to continue for several more hours. We contacted and considered the Red Bank and Garden State emergency hospitals, but my experience with those institutions has not been great. They have been quick to recommend costly, unnecessary or even futile tests and treatment plans in the past. As I write this, I realize that there's no way I can make a final decision for my boy without the attendance and advice of a vet I trust completely. Those are the doctors at Atlantic Highlands Animal Hospital. We'll wait a few more hours and keep Bandit close in our arms until then.

I have an 11 month old duck toller puppy. I brought him to Atlantic Highlands vet since he was 4…read moremonths old. Shots and neutering were fine here. A few weeks ago my dog broke his toe and when I brought him in they told me he needed surgery and there was a risk his toe needed to be amputated. We were referred to Garden State where we went the next day to fine out no surgery necessary and also no amputation. He was put in a splint and given a 4 week healing period by Garden State. I called Atlantic Highlands Vet to schedule getting my dogs splint changed every week and they said they would have to sedate him each time to change the splint. That he wasn't calm when he was x-rayed so sedation was necessary for splint change. I did not agree with weekly sedation for 4 weeks to change a splint, so have been going to garden state each week and they are changing it without sedation no problem. Today I called Atlantic highlands because I just got my dogs splint changed at garden state yesterday and something is bending strange. So I asked Atlantic highlands if they could have a look today since they are so much closer to me than garden state. I explained we have had 3 splint changes at garden state without sedation and still today they would not see me to help me without sedation. I could understand if my dog was vicious at all but he's a puppy and has been totally fine for garden state. I asked Atlantic highlands to email me ny dog's paperwork and I will never go back.

The staff is very nice but the one tech is not very well trained and while I believe it's important to train people they should not be left alone with clients patients yet and they should not also be allowed to do certain things until they're more competent and confident, especially if it's on an old already sickly dog. Also, after the procedure, the veterinary did not come back out to speak to me had the tech do it, which I found very annoying because not all my answers could be answered and I paid a lot of money basically left me there leaving hanging so that now I have to go to another vet to get the answers.

Eddie was so caring, gentle, respectful, and just amazing in every way. He made us feel warm and welcome when we came for our appointment. He explained the process and answered all our questions. He then brought us in to see our dog "Valentine" who was so beautifully laid out. Eddie gave us all the time we needed in private to grieve. He was so very kind and made us feel very comfortable. Eddie called us a couple hours later to inform us the ashes were ready. They were presented so beautifully and the engraved label was perfect. Eddie exceeded every expectation I had for the entire process. I feel so grateful to him for showing us such kindness in our final goodbye to our fur baby.

I was told he's doing great and coming out of his shell as he was nervous when I dropped him off. I didn't hear from anyone until Tuesday October 5th (the day before pickup) when I received a voicemail from Mallory that she needed to speak with me. When I returned her call I was informed that my dog had a rash on his neck and wanted to tell me before picking him up the next day and it shouldn't be a "cause for concern." She stated that the day after he was dropped off, staff noticed a tiny itchy, dry spot on his neck that progressively got worse. She continued to repeat that they didn't want this to be a cause for concern and naturally concerned, I asked to be sent a picture of the rash. This was no rash at all. The picture I was sent showed my dog next to a trainer with a raw, oozing wound where his jaw meets the base of his neck. It looked very infected and he definitely needed medical treatment so I immediately went to the facility to pick him up. When I arrived, I did not find my dog in the same condition as shown in the picture I received just an hour earlier. His wound was dry and completely scabbed over. The staff stated the wound looked much better than before (because it was healing). I immediately took him to the vet for a thorough exam and our vet diagnosed a skin infection of the hair follicles caused by injury to the skin. He also estimated that the original picture I was sent earlier that day was taken at least a few days prior. The vet also estimated that this injury occurred at least a full week prior to the training staff notifying me. Not only did my dog have an infected injury on his neck, he also had an infected wound on his testicles, had lost a significant amount of weight, as well as developing upper respiratory infection. Prior to sending him to the facility he was a big overweight with a very thick coat. The dog I picked up had lost at least 10 lbs and his spine and hip bones can be felt to the touch. The picture I was sent from staff showed a very obvious infection and the staff neglected to care for my dog or notify me that he needed medical treatment and attempted to treat this wound themselves with only A&D ointment. When asked about the 24 hour veterinarian on call mentioned on the training facility website, the staff stated they do not have a veterinarian on call. A bit misleading. After examining the neck wound we noticed small bumps around the sides of the wound that seem consistent with a pronged collar. We don't know how these injuries occurred but it's very clear our dog was NOT properly cared for and the staff neglected to provide our dog with basic medical treatment or at the very least inform us that our dog needed to see a vet. I will NEVER recommend the Dan Gentile Training to anyone.

I'm writing now because we now have a new puppy and I was looking for training places and this place came up and brought up bad memories so I felt I needed to write our experience. We dropped our dog off and went on a trip so she could go through the program. Coming back to pick the dog up we couldn't wait to see our dog thinking she would be so excited to see us but to our surprise our dog was subdued and looked defeated. No tail wagging or anything. Before the trainer showed us what they did, she commented that if WE didn't follow directions we had to put $25 in this jar. We laughed it off as though she was kidding but to be honest I don't think she was. They walked us through what they did and the "progress" and mind you they had a spike collar on the dog so when you pull it digs right into their neck. The trainer was showing us and she pulled so hard my dog let out a painful yelp! It looked like torture to be honest. We immediately said we are done here and left ASAP! My dog eventually recovered and we found a dog trainer that used positive enforcements and she became her happy self again
