How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Mountainside Animal Hospital
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.
Compare prescription pricing

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about Mountainside. I first found them when I had an emergency with a cat I'd found in a forest (that's a story for another day), who managed to get her head stuck between chair back slats and fall onto her face... I had been seeing another vet in Kent that just totally shrugged me off. Mountainside got us in right away and I was so impressed with the doctors and staff that I decided this was my babies go-to. They have awesome, convenient on-line scheduling and text-messaging, their front-facing (? I'm in the restaurant industry so not front of house but you know what I mean!) staff is genuine and super sweet, and the veterinarians / nurses are just the absolute best. I have recommended Mountainside to everyone that I can. Ms. Molly as you see here, got a deep dental cleaning and her breath is now not like bad peanut butter. They did such a great job on the cleaning as well as updating this worried puppy mama about sedation. Picture of my sweet lady Molly. Adopted in 2020 and has had the best care from Mountainside since.

Had to visit Mountainside Animal Hospital due to urgent needs of my puppy. Dr. Clark was amazing! Her and her tech were so gentle with my fur baby. She did a through evaluation of her leg and muscles. She gave me her professional opinion on what she believes is going on and she was right. As she explained, the injury looked like the one my puppy would get better in a few days and she did. If it didn’t get better in a few days, I would have gone in for x-rays. Thank you for seeing us right away. I’ll definitely go to them first before trying other Vets in the area.

We have been using Mountainside for a couple of years. 3 cats, 3 Golden Retrievers.2 of the goldens were senior. Our current one turned 1 last week. We got the 1 year old when he turned 7 months, took him for a wellness check and discussed neutering. The current mind set is to leave them intact until at least one year of age. We decided to wait, following their recommendation, until 1 year. What we weren't told was that if you wait 1 year there will be blood work required costing an extra $130. Had I known that from the start I would have had the procedure done a week ago. Not happy. We will be switching to another Vet.

Switched to Mountainside over a year ago and couldn't be happier. Super clean and modern building, front desk is very kind, techs are professional and fun, doctors are knowledgeable and professional. They found a mass on my dog that was removed same day and were extremely transparent throughout the entire process. That's all you can ask for in a scary and uncertain time as a pet owner. Going to the vet is something you don't often look forward to, but I wouldn't go want to go anywhere else.

Staff is incredibly nice and very knowledgeable. I’ve been taking my dogs here for 2 years and I’ll continue to come. Great service, wonderful people.
