Toms River Animal Hospital

Our Story

At VCA Toms River Animal Hospital, we're proud to celebrate 70 years of caring for pets and families in the Toms River, NJ community. Since 1956, generations of families across Toms River and Ocean County have trusted our hospital with their pets' care. Being part of those relationships, from welcoming a family's first pet to caring for pets across generations, is something our team is especially proud of. While veterinary medicine has evolved over the years, the relationships at the heart of our hospital have remained constant.

Today, our approach brings together that history of trusted relationships with a strong foundation in advanced medical care. Led by a board-certified internist, our team supports pets through advanced diagnostics, internal medicine, rehabilitation, and acupuncture. We have extensive experience supporting senior pets and managing complex or chronic conditions, helping families navigate care decisions with clarity and confidence. Every visit is thoughtful, collaborative, and centered on what matters most for your pet's health and quality of life.
