Scotch Plains Animal Hospital

I really need to thank Amanda and Scotch Plains Animal Hospital. Quite honestly, I never got to even see the doctor, however, my 5-star review is based on stellar interaction, clearly responsive empathy, and the very obvious gestures that were enacted by this facility. They proved they really care which is all any pet parent needs, especially during emergency situations.

My cat was recently diagnosed with possible cancer, possible foreign body, either way he was severely obstructed and critically sick. I had literally called every facility from Clifton to Mount Laurel, willing to drive him to any distance at all, but absolutely no one was willing to see him.

I called Scotch Plains and I interacted with Amanda, who not only was the sweetest and most knowledgeable person, but she and Dr. Schafer went out of their way to review all of my cat's medical history from simple writeups to ultrasound reviews and fit me in at a time I know they should have been closing for the day instead.

Unfortunately I had to bring my cat to emergency for critical care the night before his appointment, but even just the communication, care, effort, and critical thinking given by Amanda, Dr. Schafer, and the hospital was enough comfort and indication that this hospital, the doctor, and their team truly care about what they do and who walks in.

I 100% would recommend this hospital, and I plan to bring my cat in once he is able.

nicest staff and the doc knows his stuff. We are so fortunate to have found such a loving and caring team. they are very affordable.

I love bringing all of my babies here and I can’t recommend this place enough! The doctor and staff are so kind and helpful. You can tell they have a passion for what they do. This place doesn’t rip you off, instead it offers kind and valuable service. I wouldn’t bring my babes anywhere else.

The fabulous Dr. Schafer has been looking after my cats for close to 20 years. My, how time flies. His staff is absolutely awesome and accommodating. They are such a great and caring team for several generations of my cats. They all love him and his staff. It is like family.
When they would not let me give them their meds or clip their nails at home, they offer themselves up to Dr. Schafer without any resistance at all. No problem.
What's his magic? Experience and caring atmosphere that all my cats and I trust.
I highly recommend Dr. Schafer and his team at Scotch Plains Animal Hospital in a heartbeat. They are genuine and the best.

Dr Steve is the best vet by far! Was able to see our 10week old sick kitten. He knew within seconds what was wrong. He was caring and gentle and made our kitten better!
You can see he really cared! The staff was also incredible! Thoughtful,caring, and efficient. Fettuccine our kitten is a patient of Dr Steve forever!
