If I could do negative stars I would. DO NOT take your pet here. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing and just want your money. My poor animal was misdiagnosed MULTIPLE times by BVC. Took the animal to another vet because I was so fed up with BVC. Found out my animal had TUMORS in multiple areas of the body. Meanwhile, BVC told us something totally unrelated. I had little time left with the animal and ended up having to put the animal down. Maybe if BVC diagnosed her properly something could have been done about it. I will NEVER recommend this vet to anyone and they should be shut down. Read Less

We took our 13 year old Shit Tzu to Boulevard Veterinary Clinic to have ONLY three teeth that were already lose and bothering her a lot  removed.  When we picked her up that evening, we were informed that instead of three, the vet decided to removed 8 teeth in total, without consulting us first.  No call, no warning that this was going to happen.  She just went ahead and did it! Our dog was old and suffered from a recently discovered heart murmur.  So, this trauma of removing almost every tooth in her mouth was traumatizing to her.  When we brought her home she was not responsive and in a state a shock.  Saturday, she slept all day, breathing heavily, and we figured it was from the pain in her mouth.  On Sunday night we rushed her to the emergency room where we were informed that her lungs were filled with fluids and her heart was weak.  Sadly, by Monday afternoon after receiving overnight treatments, our dog died.  My complaint is against the female Vet (L.A.) who handle the oral procedure on our poor dog.  She carelessly butchered our baby, without taking into consideration that she was dealing with an aged delicate dog.  That maybe she wouldn't handle the removal of 8 teeth at one, or the extreme pain that came after.  We are devastated and heart broken!  Please, always get the facts, before these Vets gets their hands on your beloved animals. It seems that the only thing they REALLY care about at BVC is the money they charge, which in my opinion is very pricey.  Nothing will bring our beloved dog back. And I blame it on the Veterinarian for her negligence. Read Less

We recently had our 17-year-old poodle treated at the clinic. He was suffering from dementia and was in the final stages. The tech and veterinary staff were kind, compassionate, and did everything possible to keep our little guy happy and comfortable.  Dr. Markowitz provided the best of care and treatment.  As it turned out, we had to make the decision to put him to sleep. The staff handled this very well with both dignity and compassion. We are extremely thankful for the services and care provided during this very difficult time.Ray Candiloro Read Less

Switched to this vet last year and very glad we did. Parking is kind of a pain, but I can usually find a spot on a side street. Reception staff is friendly. Wait time is usually 20 minutes. The vets are very good about telling you the cost of services so you’re not blindsided with a huge bill. I also think this is the first vet I’ve gone to that hasn’t added a bunch of unnecessary shots and treatments which I really appreciate. Read Less

I love Boulevard Vet Clinic. They're local to me, so it's an easy trip. I've been with them for the past 2-3 years and they have taken such good care of us. I don't care what these other reviews say, the team there is great. They adore my cat, treat her with the love that you would want a pet to be treated with. Whether it's for just a visit, or I'm boarding my cat for a few days or a week or so, I trust this clinic to take excellent care of her. We're frequent flyers due to my cats diabetes, and they always fit us in with the doc or make sure supplies are ready for pick up. I would recommend this clinic. Read Less

If I could give zero stars I would. This vet is HORRIBLE. My husband takes his cat here and after she had a dental procedure done, she ended up coming home with ringworm. I also had my husband take my cat here out of quick convenience because she had a lump on her side. The vet there told us it's nothing to worry about and to wait and see what happens with it. Well, I ended up taking her to MY vet to see what they say, and it turned out this lump was an infection that needed to be lanced and washed daily with a medication solution. Had I listened to the vets at Kenilworth, my cat would have ended up with the infection in her organs. This place is filthy dirty, and the vets are what I would hardly call knowledgeable. If you want a good vet to take your animal to, take him/her to Rt. 516 Animal Hospital in Old Bridge, you will not be disappointed there! Read Less

My boyfriend brought his Yorkee to the hospital for years, so I started bringing my cats there when i moved in 3 years ago. I should have thought twice though, considering the Yorkee has horrible allergies that they attempted to treat for the last 8 years, and he still scratches himself raw. Yes, this vet is cheap, and has last minute, late afternoon appointments available during the week, but what’s the point if you bring them in over and over for the same problem with no results? The real tipping point for me was when i brought my cat in, for the second time, for a mystery wound. The vet wanted to put the cat under anesthesia to suture it, which she referred to me as “sedation.” I didn’t realize this meant general anesthesia in veterinary language, and was surprised when the office manager brought me the estimate. The manager insisted that the cat was indeed going to be sedated. I asked if the cat was also going to have a breathing tube, and she said yes. So I said, “that’s general anesthesia.” The manager, then, told me to “calm down.” I said “excuse me? Don’t talk to me like that. You have no idea what I’ve been through over the last 24 hours”. (This was our second vet visit, first being an ER visit for the same wound that the cat had re opened. He was also throwing up the night before, and we were told by the ER vet that he might have a rare metabolic disease and we have to see an IM specialist.) The office manager proceeded to say to me “no, YOU don’t talk to me like that”. I was shocked. I had not raised my voice at this lady or anything. I finally asked her to please leave the room and get the doctor. She stood in the doorway and said that no, i don’t tell her to leave the room. I finally reassured her that i will NOT come back to this animal hospital with any of my pets again. She then said to me “this is bad” pointing to my cat, and left. When the doctor came back, i told her what had happened, and she couldn't care less. She said that maybe I should go back to the vet i saw the night before. I couldn’t believe the lack of compassion I received while my cat had a huge wound in his side, and I was so upset and worried about him and his underlying disease. This is after we have been coming to them with our FOUR pets for the last 3 years. As a medical provider myself (for humans), I would never talk that way to any of my patients or their families. I did not deserve to be treated this way, and I would much rather pay a little more and get some empathy and compassion from the staff, than being treated like absolute garbage the way I was. And by the way, the review below by Alexander about his kitten passing away after having surgery there to be SPAYED absolutely broke my heart. We stopped seeing dr Markowitz a long time ago because he just talks AT you, doesn’t give clear answers any of your questions, and doesn’t actually do anything to help the pet’s problem. But reading that... I realize that bad things happen sometimes, but that’s awful. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Read Less

We have taken 3 pets to Boulevard Vet and every time have felt like we as re part of a family.  We make the trip from Edison, and while not incredibly far, are most certainly passing many offices along the way.  I initially received the recommendation from vet staff at another location due to the complex nature of our pet's needs.  You can tell that the staff all loves animals.  They also have ease of appointment making, which is a plus.  They consistently treat us with great care, compassion and honesty.  As anyone with a pet will attest to, sometimes the industry takes advantage of our wallets, but Boulevard Vet has ALWAYS left us feeling as though we have been fairly charged!  We love them and would/do recommend them to anyone in need of a vet!While all the vets are great, Dr. Fuerst is one of the most down to earth vets I have every met, on top of being so knowledgable and kind.  But truly, all of the staff there is wonderful.

What a bunch of total rip offs!!!! First let me explain my first time there, I took my 5 year old dog there and they told me he had a neck injury. He wasnt getting any better so we brought him back 3 more times and all they did was give him more pain medication. Long story short he DIED and suffered for months saying it was a neck injury when it was cancer all along. Well we bring a second dog in there yesterday, WHY we dont know, but they tried to scam us for HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS!!! They took blood yesterday and said they would call us at 10 we never heard from them. We called them and they told us were gonna have to bring our dog back for 250.00 blood work. Then every 2 weeks another 250. They are GREEDY not to mention rude. My dog is uncomfortable and they had the nerve to say ahhh shes ok. DONT USE THEM. Read Less

We've been taking our dogs here since we moved to town in 2008.  We've had our dogs "fixed" and put to sleep by this vet and seen them in between.   There is little to no turnover with the vets which is a good sign.  The vet techs are always pleasant and friendly.  They will fit you in for an appointment at the last minute if you have an issue.  The wait can be long at times but some dogs need more attention than others.  Each of our golden retrievers over the years have needed surgery and we were completely confident and never had an issue afterwards.  Parking is a chore in that area since they are on a busy road and across from a school.  There are plenty of other options in the area but we are very satisfied here.  Are the prices high?  I don't know because I haven't shopped around.  I've been told there is a more expensive option in Westfield.

DO NOT TAKE EXOTIC PETS TO THIS VET! I'm not the type of person who would ever write a review, but how could you call yourself a vet when you don't even care about animals? If I could give negative stars I would. I brought my chinchilla in to Union Animal Hospital because he stopped eating, he wasn't being active and he was acting weird. I had no idea what it was or what was wrong, so we brought him to Doctor Isabel Perez. She told us our chins teeth were overgrown, and needed to be shaved down. They charged us nearly $400 dollars to fix his teeth. After we brought our chinny home from the "surgery" he looked terrible! He was crying, still in pain, as if they did not use anesthesia when we paid for it. My chinchilla was traumatized after he came back home. A month goes by, my chin still won't eat, he is in pain, crying, symptoms are getting worse, we called and made an appointment again. We brought him in just for them to tell us we needed to go to a specialist. To get x-rays at another place and to get his teeth filed again!! Basically they wanted me to pay for what they were supposed to fix, because apparently they didn't even shave his teeth completely or correctly! The appointment they set for us was 3 days out, meanwhile my chinchilla cannot eat, he couldn't even move. So we called again, and we set an emergency visit, they wouldn't see us at Union Hospital, so they sent us to another vet. So when we got to the other vet Boulevard veterinary clinic in Kenilworth, the staff was rude and displeased to see us again, because it was the same staff as in Union. The vet that attended us this time was Dr. Markowitz. He handled our chinchilla without care, he grabbed him like a rag doll. He pulled him out of the carrier, he held him improperly, ripped clumps of his fur off and said it was normal for that much fur to fall off, and he was forcing open our chinchillas mouth while the chin is in pain and crying. Then Dr. Markowitz grabbed his tools to "fix" his teeth, after we suggested his teeth were what was causing pain, he said that his teeth weren't the problem. Dr. Markowitz then proceeds to shove a wooden tongue stick down my chinchillas mouth and broke his teeth!! Then Dr. Markowitz makes a joke saying " I guess we didn't need the tools to shave his teeth" because he literally broke them with the stick! I am so disgusted with this experience! Read Less

This is a long overdue review. I used this clinic for many years. Even when I moved out of the area, I would  drive 45 minutes just to see Dr. Fuerst. He is wonderful. The entire staff is helpful, kind, friendly and they seem to really care about the animals in their clinic. My cat had a chronic condition and I used to visit them quite often. As soon as I would walk into the clinic they would know who I was and would ask me how my cat was doing. Sadly, my cat has now passed away. Dr. Fuerst went above and beyond in trying to help me find a treatment for him. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Fuerst and the clinic staff for all they did for my Homer and also for my other cats through the years. I have recommended this clinic to friends and neighbors and they have had similar experiences to mine. I'm definitely using them again If I ever move back to the area. Read Less

I haven't been able to take my 12 year dog to here for the last 2 years because I have been out of work that long. I called a online medication place for my dogs chronic ear yeast problem to get mometamax. 2 hours later I get a call from the vet explaining they can not refill the script because he hasn't been there in 2 years. I explained my situation and also mentioned that I have been taking my dog to shake a paw shot clinic for his shots. So he is up to date. The woman on the other side of the phone said sorry but she can not still give me the drops for my dogs ear. So I understand that you want to make sure my dog is well, but going to the vets these days is like yourself going to the doctor. It is very expensive. I can produce the paper work for his shots so why not give me the medicine? Is it because you want that money that I don't have? My whole point of this story is that now my dog has to suffer. Do they care? No! I'm going to try a homeopathic treatment of white vinegar. HOPE IT WORKS.Read Less

Now we have to switch because of their poor behavior.They are overpriced (you can get the same treatment for half the price at other vet clinics), the vet assistants are RUDE, and the vets spend only a few minutes with your pet. They're not the most personable vets, so don't expect to talk very much with them.I recently took my pet here for an annual visit.

She immediately yelled at me and told everyone that my dog bit the other. NOT TRUE. There was no blood or puncture wounds. She also screamed at me to go behind the reception desk. I do not appreciate being treated like this, especially after my dog was not the aggressor. Also, we spend lots of money here. I expect to be treated with some level of respect. We will NOT be returning because of this incident and this unprofessional woman. Good luck if you encounter her.

I brought my lovely sweet Tortoiseshell kitten LUCY on August 12 for SPAY/ABORT assessment. Dr. Markowitz made a quick assessment that he could perform the surgery. He failed to inform me of the risks involved with such a surgery. He did not even use a stethoscope in examining my LUCY. I was not permitted to see my LUCY in her holding cage prior to surgery. Even though I informed BVC that I fed LUCY in the morning, they felt that was a non-issue for surgery the same day. They left LUCY unattended all night long post surgery and she passed away the next morning. When they noticed her in crisis the next morning, they failed to call me right away. I shall never, ever bring another animal to Boulevard Veterinary Clinic in Kenilworth, N.J. I lost a wonderful companion due to their lack of emergency response and neglectful actions. Read Less

Extremely happy with Dr. Markowitz and the staff, right down to the front desk.  The girls at the front desk absolutely love animals, as they visit with my dog everytime we take him in.  Dr. Markowitz is gentle and thorough and discusses every option of care and treatment with us before making a decision.  I am very happy to see they are now open 7 days a week.  I can't stress enough how good this Veterinary Clinic is.  ( A few years back I took my other dog to another vet in another town and what was supposed to be routine shots went bad...they killed my dog).    Dr. Markowitz and his staff are very competent and very well qualified to treat animals.  Dr. Markowitz is also an Avian Vet - he treats birds and parrots - nice to know since there are not many in this area and he's good at that too - especially in treating my parrot for a cracked beak.

I've been there several times since i got my puppy.  the puppy had his 2nd shots and everything that followed at this vet.  they are very nice and i liked them a lot at first, but after dealing with them several times since that first visit i have realized that not only are they a rip off, they will try to charge you multiple times for the same thing.  first example.  when i had him in for the initial vet visit and 2nd round of puppy shots, they said a stool sample was included with the initial visit and gave me a container for the stool.  when i brought the stool sample back on my next visit, the front desk, and front office manager said they charge $40 for lab fee and that lab fee isn't included in that first visit.  i paid the $40.  when i went back for another visit, i questioned the vet about this.  she told me that everything in regards to the stool sample was included.  i told her that they charged me $40 for it.  her response was that i wasn't supposed to be charged.  i asked for my money back, and never got it.  nor was i given a straight answer when i asked for it.second example.  my puppy was getting these tiny red dots all over his legs and belly that would bleed from him scratching them.   i called and made an appointment to see vet.  i was charged for a visit, as expected.  when the vet saw my pup she scrapped his skin looking for parasites and test results came back clean.  i was told it was a form of a rash that puppies get and was given an antibiotic, which i was also charged for as expected.  a month later i called and said the spots haven't gone away and was told to come back in.  when i came back in with the pup, they charged me for another visit, scrapped the skin to check for parasites (test came back clean), and put the pup back on antibiotics for a longer period of time, which they also charged me for.  as stated in example one, i brought a stool sample in.  a couple weeks later i thought that maybe my puppy still had worms and i called the office, asked to speak with a vet, and told him about the possibility of him still having worms.  vet said that a follow up visit was free of charge and that i'd only have to pay for the medication.  this was reasonable and made sense, but made me ask why i was charged for a second, or follow up, visit when i came back in because of the red spot/rash my pup had that didn't go away after the initial visit and end of prescribed medicine that was given.  he said that i should not have been charged.  i was never given a penny back when i asked the front dest for my money back.third example.  getting back to the rash.  needless to say, the spots, or rash, never went away.  i never went back in because i was skeptical about their procedures and diagnostics.  after a few more weeks of my pup still having these spots, which started bleeding again, i asked a random lady that i was talking to at a pet store (not an employee) and she immediately, without hesitation or doubt, stated that my dog had a food allergy soon as she saw the spots.  i took that into consideration and asked someone that worked there and they said the same thing.  i did some research and read the same exact thing on the internet when i compared pics online to the spots my dog had.  i was back at the store buying a few things and saw a lady that represented one of the food brands and asked her about the spots, she too said it was food allergies.  a week ago i was at the animal clinic in hillside getting my dog neutered and when picking up my dog, the vet assistant brought these spots to my attention stating that they were food allergies and instructed me to change food to a grain free product.  i did this and within a week, the spots started to disappear, they are almost gone and it's only been one week.   i'm bring this up because i have to wonder why so many people, random pet owners, random pet store employees, and a vet assistant had all immediately stated with 100% confidence that my dog had a food allergy causing these spots when 2 vets at boulevard vet, who have extensive schooling and years as vets, didn't know what a common person knew.  it seems that they must've known but made money in their improper diagnostic by charging me for multiple visits and the medication.  they would've made no money by telling me to change his diet.  it's very odd that a professional doesn't know something so many common, less educated people knew.  i should be given a refund for the 2 prescriptions i paid for as well.

We were so upset with the treatment our late cat Grania got at Boulevard Veterinary Clinic that we filed a formal complaint with the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General. Its veterinary unit told us in a recent letter that an investigation had raised “certain concerns” about Boulevard. Grania died this summer after Boulevard performed much more extensive surgery on her than it told us it would to remove a small growth on her shoulder. Boulevard forgot to remove a tourniquet it clamped on Grania’s paw, misled us about whether it is staffed overnight, said she needed a blood transfusion and then failed to give her one. Boulevard finally said we should take her to another veterinary hospital where she could get a transfusion, and it then lied to us by promising it would brief the facility where we took her. It didn't. The AG’s Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners unfortunately declined to take any disciplinary action against Boulevard. But it said it did send correspondence to Boulevard “in which it discussed certain concerns raised during the Board’s investigation.” P.S.: We just received a form notice from Boulevard that Grania is due for her rabies vaccination.

We took our cat, Grania, to Boulevard Veterinary Clinic in Kenilworth, NJ, to have a dime-sized growth removed from her shoulder. We got her back that night with a gruesome-looking four-inch slash on her back and a forepaw that had swelled up to what looked like double its normal size because Boulevard hadn't bothered to remove a tourniquet. Two nights later Grania was dead.We thought were were taking Grania in for a simple procedure, and Boulevard did nothing to indicate it was anything more complicated. We were never advised of possible complications or given any indication the size or scope of the procedure would go beyond removal of the small growth.After the procedure, Boulevard pooh-poohed our concerns initially. When Grania began bleeding steadily the next day, they said to bring her in. Then they kept us waiting, first in the waiting room, then in an examination room. We had to shout "Help! Help! Bleeding cat in here - can anybody help?" to get attention from a vet.Boulevard Veterinary kept Grania overnight for observation. When we called the next morning, they advised us she might need a blood transfusion. They called us in the afternoon and said Grania was in serious shape. They had not given her a transfusion. They said we might want to take her to a 24-hour veterinary hospital where she could be under observation and care through the night because Boulevard is not staffed overnight (we were not informed the previous day, when Boulevard told us to leave Grania overnight for observation, that she would spend her final night alone and bleeding, with neither observation nor care).We picked Grania up and sped to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, which Boulevard promised to inform that we were coming. Grania went into respiratory arrest shortly after we arrived. Despite an emergency transfusion and every effort by the Red Bank staff, she died. No one we talked to at Red Bank, incidentally, had heard anything from anyone at Boulevard Veterinary Clinic about Grania.Boulevard had cared for Grania for 10 years, and had cared for our previous cat before that. We trusted them. We should have been a lot more vigilant, and we'll always feel bad we weren't. Read Less

I joined this site just to review these people. We have been going here for years for our two cats, and it was fine as long as nothing went wrong. Then one cat got diabetes and we had to obtain insulin and needles from here once a month and bring him in for check ups. What a nightmare. Just picking up  a box of needles was a complete fiasco. The front desk is the most unorganized mess I've ever seen and will give you conflicting information. If you've got a question about something, don't expect to get it answered. They'll cut you off and send you on your way.  The vets were not at all thorough and would make you feel guilty for not wanting to drop $800 on a teeth cleaning for your cat when you yourself don't even have health insurance.  The final straw came when we finally switched to another vet the next town over and discovered that tiny bottle of insulin we were buying every month was RIDICULOUSLY over priced; we paid $112 a bottle when a bottle 2Xs the size should be $45!!!!!!! Not to mention, he's got a thyroid problem they conveniently missed in his bloodwork. If you want to get ripped off and ignored, by all means come here. For the rest of us, find yourself another vet.

If I could do negative stars I would. DO NOT take your pet here. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing and just want your money. My poor animal was misdiagnosed MULTIPLE times by BVC. Took the animal to another vet because I was so fed up with BVC. Found out my animal had TUMORS in multiple areas of the body. Meanwhile, BVC told us something totally unrelated. I had little time left with the animal and ended up having to put the animal down. Maybe if BVC diagnosed her properly something could have been done about it. I will NEVER recommend this vet to anyone and they should be shut down. Read Less

We took our 13 year old Shit Tzu to Boulevard Veterinary Clinic to have ONLY three teeth that were already lose and bothering her a lot  removed.  When we picked her up that evening, we were informed that instead of three, the vet decided to removed 8 teeth in total, without consulting us first.  No call, no warning that this was going to happen.  She just went ahead and did it! Our dog was old and suffered from a recently discovered heart murmur.  So, this trauma of removing almost every tooth in her mouth was traumatizing to her.  When we brought her home she was not responsive and in a state a shock.  Saturday, she slept all day, breathing heavily, and we figured it was from the pain in her mouth.  On Sunday night we rushed her to the emergency room where we were informed that her lungs were filled with fluids and her heart was weak.  Sadly, by Monday afternoon after receiving overnight treatments, our dog died.  My complaint is against the female Vet (L.A.) who handle the oral procedure on our poor dog.  She carelessly butchered our baby, without taking into consideration that she was dealing with an aged delicate dog.  That maybe she wouldn't handle the removal of 8 teeth at one, or the extreme pain that came after.  We are devastated and heart broken!  Please, always get the facts, before these Vets gets their hands on your beloved animals. It seems that the only thing they REALLY care about at BVC is the money they charge, which in my opinion is very pricey.  Nothing will bring our beloved dog back. And I blame it on the Veterinarian for her negligence. Read Less

If I could give zero stars I would. This vet is HORRIBLE. My husband takes his cat here and after she had a dental procedure done, she ended up coming home with ringworm. I also had my husband take my cat here out of quick convenience because she had a lump on her side. The vet there told us it's nothing to worry about and to wait and see what happens with it. Well, I ended up taking her to MY vet to see what they say, and it turned out this lump was an infection that needed to be lanced and washed daily with a medication solution. Had I listened to the vets at Kenilworth, my cat would have ended up with the infection in her organs. This place is filthy dirty, and the vets are what I would hardly call knowledgeable.

My boyfriend brought his Yorkee to the hospital for years, so I started bringing my cats there when i moved in 3 years ago. I should have thought twice though, considering the Yorkee has horrible allergies that they attempted to treat for the last 8 years, and he still scratches himself raw. Yes, this vet is cheap, and has last minute, late afternoon appointments available during the week, but what’s the point if you bring them in over and over for the same problem with no results? The real tipping point for me was when i brought my cat in, for the second time, for a mystery wound. The vet wanted to put the cat under anesthesia to suture it, which she referred to me as “sedation.” I didn’t realize this meant general anesthesia in veterinary language, and was surprised when the office manager brought me the estimate. The manager insisted that the cat was indeed going to be sedated. I asked if the cat was also going to have a breathing tube, and she said yes. So I said, “that’s general anesthesia.” The manager, then, told me to “calm down.” I said “excuse me? Don’t talk to me like that. You have no idea what I’ve been through over the last 24 hours”. (This was our second vet visit, first being an ER visit for the same wound that the cat had re opened. He was also throwing up the night before, and we were told by the ER vet that he might have a rare metabolic disease and we have to see an IM specialist.) The office manager proceeded to say to me “no, YOU don’t talk to me like that”. I was shocked. I had not raised my voice at this lady or anything. I finally asked her to please leave the room and get the doctor. She stood in the doorway and said that no, i don’t tell her to leave the room. I finally reassured her that i will NOT come back to this animal hospital with any of my pets again. She then said to me “this is bad” pointing to my cat, and left. When the doctor came back, i told her what had happened, and she couldn't care less. She said that maybe I should go back to the vet i saw the night before. I couldn’t believe the lack of compassion I received while my cat had a huge wound in his side, and I was so upset and worried about him and his underlying disease. This is after we have been coming to them with our FOUR pets for the last 3 years. As a medical provider myself (for humans), I would never talk that way to any of my patients or their families. I did not deserve to be treated this way, and I would much rather pay a little more and get some empathy and compassion from the staff, than being treated like absolute garbage the way I was. And by the way, the review below by Alexander about his kitten passing away after having surgery there to be SPAYED absolutely broke my heart. We stopped seeing dr Markowitz a long time ago because he just talks AT you, doesn’t give clear answers any of your questions, and doesn’t actually do anything to help the pet’s problem. But reading that... I realize that bad things happen sometimes, but that’s awful. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Read Less

We have taken 3 pets to Boulevard Vet and every time have felt like we as re part of a family.  We make the trip from Edison, and while not incredibly far, are most certainly passing many offices along the way.  I initially received the recommendation from vet staff at another location due to the complex nature of our pet's needs.  You can tell that the staff all loves animals.  They also have ease of appointment making, which is a plus.  They consistently treat us with great care, compassion and honesty.  As anyone with a pet will attest to, sometimes the industry takes advantage of our wallets, but Boulevard Vet has ALWAYS left us feeling as though we have been fairly charged!  We love them and would/do recommend them to anyone in need of a vet!While all the vets are great, Dr. Fuerst is one of the most down to earth vets I have every met, on top of being so knowledgable and kind.  But truly, all of the staff there is wonderful.

We've been taking our dogs here since we moved to town in 2008.  We've had our dogs "fixed" and put to sleep by this vet and seen them in between.   There is little to no turnover with the vets which is a good sign.  The vet techs are always pleasant and friendly.  They will fit you in for an appointment at the last minute if you have an issue.  The wait can be long at times but some dogs need more attention than others.  Each of our golden retrievers over the years have needed surgery and we were completely confident and never had an issue afterwards.  Parking is a chore in that area since they are on a busy road and across from a school.  There are plenty of other options in the area but we are very satisfied here.  Are the prices high?  I don't know because I haven't shopped around.  I've been told there is a more expensive option in Westfield.

DO NOT TAKE EXOTIC PETS TO THIS VET! I'm not the type of person who would ever write a review, but how could you call yourself a vet when you don't even care about animals? If I could give negative stars I would. I brought my chinchilla in to Union Animal Hospital because he stopped eating, he wasn't being active and he was acting weird. I had no idea what it was or what was wrong, so we brought him to Doctor Isabel Perez. She told us our chins teeth were overgrown, and needed to be shaved down. They charged us nearly $400 dollars to fix his teeth. After we brought our chinny home from the "surgery" he looked terrible! He was crying, still in pain, as if they did not use anesthesia when we paid for it. My chinchilla was traumatized after he came back home. A month goes by, my chin still won't eat, he is in pain, crying, symptoms are getting worse, we called and made an appointment again. We brought him in just for them to tell us we needed to go to a specialist. To get x-rays at another place and to get his teeth filed again!! Basically they wanted me to pay for what they were supposed to fix, because apparently they didn't even shave his teeth completely or correctly! The appointment they set for us was 3 days out, meanwhile my chinchilla cannot eat, he couldn't even move. So we called again, and we set an emergency visit, they wouldn't see us at Union Hospital, so they sent us to another vet. So when we got to the other vet Boulevard veterinary clinic in Kenilworth, the staff was rude and displeased to see us again, because it was the same staff as in Union. The vet that attended us this time was Dr. Markowitz. He handled our chinchilla without care, he grabbed him like a rag doll. He pulled him out of the carrier, he held him improperly, ripped clumps of his fur off and said it was normal for that much fur to fall off, and he was forcing open our chinchillas mouth while the chin is in pain and crying. Then Dr. Markowitz grabbed his tools to "fix" his teeth, after we suggested his teeth were what was causing pain, he said that his teeth weren't the problem. Dr. Markowitz then proceeds to shove a wooden tongue stick down my chinchillas mouth and broke his teeth!! Then Dr. Markowitz makes a joke saying " I guess we didn't need the tools to shave his teeth" because he literally broke them with the stick! I am so disgusted with this experience! Read Less

This is a long overdue review. I used this clinic for many years. Even when I moved out of the area, I would  drive 45 minutes just to see Dr. Fuerst. He is wonderful. The entire staff is helpful, kind, friendly and they seem to really care about the animals in their clinic. My cat had a chronic condition and I used to visit them quite often. As soon as I would walk into the clinic they would know who I was and would ask me how my cat was doing. Sadly, my cat has now passed away. Dr. Fuerst went above and beyond in trying to help me find a treatment for him. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Fuerst and the clinic staff for all they did for my Homer and also for my other cats through the years. I have recommended this clinic to friends and neighbors and they have had similar experiences to mine. I'm definitely using them again If I ever move back to the area. Read Less

I haven't been able to take my 12 year dog to here for the last 2 years because I have been out of work that long. I called a online medication place for my dogs chronic ear yeast problem to get mometamax. 2 hours later I get a call from the vet explaining they can not refill the script because he hasn't been there in 2 years. I explained my situation and also mentioned that I have been taking my dog to shake a paw shot clinic for his shots. So he is up to date. The woman on the other side of the phone said sorry but she can not still give me the drops for my dogs ear. So I understand that you want to make sure my dog is well, but going to the vets these days is like yourself going to the doctor. It is very expensive. I can produce the paper work for his shots so why not give me the medicine? Is it because you want that money that I don't have? My whole point of this story is that now my dog has to suffer. Do they care? No! I'm going to try a homeopathic treatment of white vinegar. HOPE IT WORKS.Read Less

Our family has been going to Boulevard Vet for almost 2 years. Both cat and dog have been treated here. I never had any issue with the vets or their staff. I just didn't have any type of connection with any of them. We kept going there because it was convenient. Now we have to switch because of their poor behavior.They are overpriced (you can get the same treatment for half the price at other vet clinics), the vet assistants are RUDE, and the vets spend only a few minutes with your pet. They're not the most personable vets, so don't expect to talk very much with them.I recently took my pet here for an annual visit. A particular vet assistant (the older one with frizzy, reddish hair) was rude and very unapologetic when she blamed my dog (who has NEVER bitten any person, dog or cat) for biting another dog when they started barking at each other. She immediately yelled at me and told everyone that my dog bit the other. NOT TRUE. There was no blood or puncture wounds. She also screamed at me to go behind the reception desk. I do not appreciate being treated like this, especially after my dog was not the aggressor. Also, we spend lots of money here. I expect to be treated with some level of respect. We will NOT be returning because of this incident and this unprofessional woman. Good luck if you encounter her. I hope the owners Feurst and Markowitz realize they have a rude vet assistant who is not helping them with their business. Read Less

I brought my lovely sweet Tortoiseshell kitten LUCY on August 12 for SPAY/ABORT assessment. Dr. Markowitz made a quick assessment that he could perform the surgery. He failed to inform me of the risks involved with such a surgery. He did not even use a stethoscope in examining my LUCY. I was not permitted to see my LUCY in her holding cage prior to surgery. Even though I informed BVC that I fed LUCY in the morning, they felt that was a non-issue for surgery the same day. They left LUCY unattended all night long post surgery and she passed away the next morning. When they noticed her in crisis the next morning, they failed to call me right away.

I've been there several times since i got my puppy.  the puppy had his 2nd shots and everything that followed at this vet.  they are very nice and i liked them a lot at first, but after dealing with them several times since that first visit i have realized that not only are they a rip off, they will try to charge you multiple times for the same thing.  first example.  when i had him in for the initial vet visit and 2nd round of puppy shots, they said a stool sample was included with the initial visit and gave me a container for the stool.  when i brought the stool sample back on my next visit, the front desk, and front office manager said they charge $40 for lab fee and that lab fee isn't included in that first visit.  i paid the $40.  when i went back for another visit, i questioned the vet about this.  she told me that everything in regards to the stool sample was included.  i told her that they charged me $40 for it.  her response was that i wasn't supposed to be charged.  i asked for my money back, and never got it.  nor was i given a straight answer when i asked for it.second example.  my puppy was getting these tiny red dots all over his legs and belly that would bleed from him scratching them.   i called and made an appointment to see vet.  i was charged for a visit, as expected.  when the vet saw my pup she scrapped his skin looking for parasites and test results came back clean.  i was told it was a form of a rash that puppies get and was given an antibiotic, which i was also charged for as expected.  a month later i called and said the spots haven't gone away and was told to come back in.  when i came back in with the pup, they charged me for another visit, scrapped the skin to check for parasites (test came back clean), and put the pup back on antibiotics for a longer period of time, which they also charged me for.  as stated in example one, i brought a stool sample in.  a couple weeks later i thought that maybe my puppy still had worms and i called the office, asked to speak with a vet, and told him about the possibility of him still having worms.  vet said that a follow up visit was free of charge and that i'd only have to pay for the medication.  this was reasonable and made sense, but made me ask why i was charged for a second, or follow up, visit when i came back in because of the red spot/rash my pup had that didn't go away after the initial visit and end of prescribed medicine that was given.  he said that i should not have been charged.  i was never given a penny back when i asked the front dest for my money back.third example.  getting back to the rash.  needless to say, the spots, or rash, never went away.  i never went back in because i was skeptical about their procedures and diagnostics.  after a few more weeks of my pup still having these spots, which started bleeding again, i asked a random lady that i was talking to at a pet store (not an employee) and she immediately, without hesitation or doubt, stated that my dog had a food allergy soon as she saw the spots.  i took that into consideration and asked someone that worked there and they said the same thing.  i did some research and read the same exact thing on the internet when i compared pics online to the spots my dog had.  i was back at the store buying a few things and saw a lady that represented one of the food brands and asked her about the spots, she too said it was food allergies.  a week ago i was at the animal clinic in hillside getting my dog neutered and when picking up my dog, the vet assistant brought these spots to my attention stating that they were food allergies and instructed me to change food to a grain free product.  i did this and within a week, the spots started to disappear, they are almost gone and it's only been one week.   i'm bring this up because i have to wonder why so many people, random pet owners, random pet store employees, and a vet assistant had all immediately stated with 100% confidence that my dog had a food allergy causing these spots when 2 vets at boulevard vet, who have extensive schooling and years as vets, didn't know what a common person knew.  it seems that they must've known but made money in their improper diagnostic by charging me for multiple visits and the medication.  they would've made no money by telling me to change his diet.  it's very odd that a professional doesn't know something so many common, less educated people knew.  i should be given a refund for the 2 prescriptions i paid for as well.

We were so upset with the treatment our late cat Grania got at Boulevard Veterinary Clinic that we filed a formal complaint with the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General. Its veterinary unit told us in a recent letter that an investigation had raised “certain concerns” about Boulevard. Grania died this summer after Boulevard performed much more extensive surgery on her than it told us it would to remove a small growth on her shoulder. Boulevard forgot to remove a tourniquet it clamped on Grania’s paw, misled us about whether it is staffed overnight, said she needed a blood transfusion and then failed to give her one. Boulevard finally said we should take her to another veterinary hospital where she could get a transfusion, and it then lied to us by promising it would brief the facility where we took her. It didn't. The AG’s Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners unfortunately declined to take any disciplinary action against Boulevard. But it said it did send correspondence to Boulevard “in which it discussed certain concerns raised during the Board’s investigation.” P.S.: We just received a form notice from Boulevard that Grania is due for her rabies vaccination.

We took our cat, Grania, to Boulevard Veterinary Clinic in Kenilworth, NJ, to have a dime-sized growth removed from her shoulder. We got her back that night with a gruesome-looking four-inch slash on her back and a forepaw that had swelled up to what looked like double its normal size because Boulevard hadn't bothered to remove a tourniquet. Two nights later Grania was dead.We thought were were taking Grania in for a simple procedure, and Boulevard did nothing to indicate it was anything more complicated. We were never advised of possible complications or given any indication the size or scope of the procedure would go beyond removal of the small growth.After the procedure, Boulevard pooh-poohed our concerns initially. When Grania began bleeding steadily the next day, they said to bring her in. Then they kept us waiting, first in the waiting room, then in an examination room. We had to shout "Help! Help! Bleeding cat in here - can anybody help?" to get attention from a vet.Boulevard Veterinary kept Grania overnight for observation. When we called the next morning, they advised us she might need a blood transfusion. They called us in the afternoon and said Grania was in serious shape. They had not given her a transfusion. They said we might want to take her to a 24-hour veterinary hospital where she could be under observation and care through the night because Boulevard is not staffed overnight (we were not informed the previous day, when Boulevard told us to leave Grania overnight for observation, that she would spend her final night alone and bleeding, with neither observation nor care).We picked Grania up and sped to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, which Boulevard promised to inform that we were coming. Grania went into respiratory arrest shortly after we arrived. Despite an emergency transfusion and every effort by the Red Bank staff, she died. No one we talked to at Red Bank, incidentally, had heard anything from anyone at Boulevard Veterinary Clinic about Grania.Boulevard had cared for Grania for 10 years, and had cared for our previous cat before that. We trusted them. We should have been a lot more vigilant, and we'll always feel bad we weren't. Read Less

I joined this site just to review these people. We have been going here for years for our two cats, and it was fine as long as nothing went wrong. Then one cat got diabetes and we had to obtain insulin and needles from here once a month and bring him in for check ups. What a nightmare. Just picking up  a box of needles was a complete fiasco. The front desk is the most unorganized mess I've ever seen and will give you conflicting information. If you've got a question about something, don't expect to get it answered. They'll cut you off and send you on your way.  The vets were not at all thorough and would make you feel guilty for not wanting to drop $800 on a teeth cleaning for your cat when you yourself don't even have health insurance.  The final straw came when we finally switched to another vet the next town over and discovered that tiny bottle of insulin we were buying every month was RIDICULOUSLY over priced; we paid $112 a bottle when a bottle 2Xs the size should be $45!!!!!!! Not to mention, he's got a thyroid problem they conveniently missed in his bloodwork. If you want to get ripped off and ignored, by all means come here. For the rest of us, find yourself another vet.
