Cranbury Animal Hospital

When I moved to NJ 11 years ago, I had a cat that was in the last stages of terminal cancer. I was recommended to Dr. Young and have been bringing my animals to him ever since. I knew he was great when he went on his knees to be level with my dying cat and kept on petting her as he spoke with me. He is so caring and the staff is extremely knowledgable. Recently, I had to put my 20-​year-​old cat to sleep. She was 9 when I first started bringing her to Dr. Young. For that past 3 years she suffered from constipation and numerous urinary tract infections when she would stop eating and drinking. Every time they fit me in as an emergency and Dr. Young brought her back from the brink. And my dog Zoe, loves him too. There are great people that work here.

Been taking my four pets here for over a decade. Dr. Young and the staff have been great with Dr. Y going over and above board for my sick kitty on New Year’s Eve/​Day. I don’t post often but reviews like «don’t let them take your pet our of your sight» get in my craw as part of the overall venomous and corrosive internet snark. Highly recommend based on personal experience.

please just be vigilant. don’t let them take your pet out of your sight.

I have always been happy with Dr. Young and his staff. Buddy has gotten amazing care here and his staff has always been very sweet and gentle with him. During an emergency with Buddy, one of the staff Sharon, actually saved his life by suggesting I get to the Robbinsville Center ASAP after hearing his symptoms. Her quick and honest thinking was right on. He would’ve died without that advice. And they will always make time to see him. Dr. Young genuinely cares about him and always seems happy to see him. And he has never restrained him in my presence for any of his exam or care, which definitely puts my beagle at ease. The place is immaculate and the communication excellent. This is the only place I would ever consider taking my best friend.

I moved to the area a little over a year ago, and in search of a new vet for my dogs, Dr. Young was referred to me by a friend. I made my first appointment for a regular check-​up and rabies vaccinations.
My two dogs take a little time to warm up to new people (especially in an environment such as a vet’s office) as they are a little timid and shy. We were taken back to the room for their exams and the first move from the vet tech is that she wants to take their temperatures. They both were squirmy and I suggested skipping the thermometer up the butt thing as they were already uncomfortable in being there. I was horribly shocked when the vet tech, instead of politely suggesting an alternative, rudely informed me that I «should go ahead and leave because the doctor won’t see my dogs without it». At that point I asked to speak to Dr. Young. He came in and everything was fine. my dogs warmed up to him nicely and he was very apologetic about the behavior or his employee. End of that visit. Dr. Young saved the day because I would have NEVER gone back to Cranbury Animal Hospital had I left with only the experience of the unprofessional vet tech.
Today, I took my Great Pyr in for a visit because I discovered a lump on her neck. We go back and the same vet tech (named either Amanda or Nicole — whichever one has the dirty blonde hair) was there to take her temperature. Again, my dog wasn’t very cooperative so the tech suggested taking her into the back room to check her temperature. I agreed; however, Vegas (my dog) was scared and did not want to go. So what did the tech do? She did NOT coax her with treats, she did NOT take it slow, pet her, talk to her, etc. Instead, she pulled her lead around her neck so tight that Vegas was gasping for air and struggling to get away. She then JERKED my dogs neck in the direction of the door. Is this really happening? Is my dog being abused right in front of me? No way that’s happening. I said it’s not okay to handle my dog in that manner and CHOKING her. Her suggestion? For me to step out of the room so I didn’t have to watch. Great. so you can CHOKE my dog and I won’t be able to see it. Makes it perfectly fine, right? The girl continued with her terrible attitude and even began to raise her voice to me. At which point, I again had to ask to see the doctor. Also, the walls there are paper thin, so it’s really nice to hear her saying things about you when she steps out of the room.
There was a different doctor there today. Each time I see the doctor, my experience is a good one. However, what I have to go through to get to the doctor is not worth it. We have lived in 3 different cities and have never had a bad experience at a vet until this one. I will happily take my business to Twin Rivers.
Please do not leave your animals unattended at this vet, it’s scary to think the way they treat them when no one is around.
