How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Beach Animal Hospital and Specialty Services

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Beach Animal is an independently owned and operated facility that is special in so many ways. From all the Doctors, technicians and staff you and your pet are immediately welcomed and given the best services available. The entire group is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, experienced and up to date with their training which makes your pets experience the best and most comfortable it can be. When difficult decisions needed to be made I was well informed with the Doctors communication that was clear and understandable. My wife and I have been pets owners for many decades and have been to different animal hospitals (that want to use every piece of equipment and technology on your pet $$$) and veterinarians and by far Beach Animal Hospital has been our best experience yet.

It is really sad that a vet in a small town doesn’t leave open room in the daily schedule for “drop in” stuff. There are old people on social security in this town that don’t have cars and dog gets sick randomly. Shame on you guys.

It’s taken me over a month to write this. For years, my family and I have traveled from Toms River to Point Pleasant. Dr Moreau was the best Vet, we loved him. Part of why I gave 3 stars, I really liked Dr Siddons too! However, I had an appointment at 930 for my puppy to have a vaccination. Let’s be honest we know how long that takes, not long right? What 10 mins if that? As I mentioned I come from Toms River. Well that morning my daughters bus was a few mins late, which in turn made me a few minutes late. I’m talking a few minutes. I’m emphasizing few minutes, because when I was pulling into the parking lot, my phone rang and it was the receptionist explaining to me that I MISSED my appointment, it was 934!! I explained I was here and apologized, and she said Dr Siddons next appointment is already here. 4 mins after my booked time?! I was apologizing and she cut me off and said “you can come back at 130!!” I was in the parking lot! I found this absurd. I’ve worked off of appointments for over 24 years. I have never turned away a client, not even being 15 mins late. There are circumstances that arise and you have grace. I still cannot believe that 4 mins past my arrival time I was called. That experience was enough for me NEVER to bring my two dogs back, all because of that receptionist…maybe she could learn to have some compassion. I posted a photo of when my phone was called.

Our sweet Chloe had been going here for years and the level of comfort and care from the staff and vets was amazing. What really set this veterinarians office aside from others is when she passed. They sent the most beautiful card from everyone in the office signed with memories of Chloe. They also included hair clippings and paw prints for every member of our family. This extra gesture touched us so greatly in one of the toughest times, we will forever be grateful for this staff and office!
