Excellent place for my 'exotic' dwarf hamster. He got a little surgery and now he is so happy and active! The vet was super nice, clear and kind! She made the physical exam with such an incredible confidence, her explanations were clear and the attention was better than I was expecting. The prices are not low but which veterinarian service in US is cheap? I strongly recommend ACM for your exotic pets. Read Less

I’ve officially had it with Morris Plains Animal Clinic. They are purely a money grab. Been a customer for years with my animals. Had my dog in for regular checkup/shots in January and back 3 weeks later for boosters. Assumed all shots handled and she was covered. Needed to board her for one night for a business trip. (Should have been $41) Came back to a $217 bill!!! They gave her another $82 office visit and then 2 more shots (another needs a booster on 3 weeks again). I was told today that I needed to ask for the bordatella and flu shots when I came in for the regular visit. REALLY?!? Do I look like a vet??? I pay you money to tell me what I need. Read Less

Beware .... the vets really care for the animals which obviously is important but not quite sure who is actually in charge of this establishment. The front desk does not follow through with what you are told by the vet and charges what they want. We where over charged not once but twice and when questioned the staff got very nasty and defensive. Once the vet came out it was fixed but should not happen at all. Very poor customer service from the front desk which is sad because the vet is actually quite good but not worth getting robbed over. Double and triple check your bill and ask what everything is they won’t like it but it is your right and they are over charging in hopes people won’t ask or realize. Read Less

Our bird was a picker and picked his feathers badly. They recommended a cone, but first shaved our bird’s beak too short. When he was experiencing depression the next day and having problems eating, the dr who dealt with birds, had a personal emergency and the closest vet for birds was down the shore. Needless to say, our bird died. Do NOT take your bird here. I also just heard bad reviews from a friend about taking their dog there. Read Less

They were so prompt, professional and caring when we took our little bunny for GI stasis. They saved her life and brought her back to happy health. Their nurses and doctors always kept us up to date on our bunny's condition. I was so scared to leave my bunny overnight, but now I am confident that this clinic will take excellent care of my pets. Their pet manner and pet parent instruction is superb. They also accept Care Cards which is a good option if your looking to finance extensive medical care. I am so happy with their service and staff. Your loved furry ones will be in good hands! Read Less

Emergency Doctors available 24/7? Sure, as long as your pet doesn't mind an hour long wait... Compassionate care? Not so much. Their 2 stage euthanasia was brutal! He never fell asleep.... Endured extreme fright, drooling, and head weaving until someone came to 'check on him' for the final needle. Horrible! I would never have known this if I had not stayed with him through the whole process. Also charged 100% for the botched euthanasia. Shame on them for all of it! Read Less

We love the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains! They've taken care of our parrots for 15 years and we couldn't be happier. They treat our birds with such care that we never worry when we go away and board them. They're always happy to see us, but they have a good time dancing on top of their cages while they're there. I recommend them for any exotics for their expertise. One of our parrots died while being treated there and we knew that she had had the best possible care. She had acute leukemia and couldn't survive, and our only regret was not being there with her. She had her best chance with these vets. I can't say enough about the amazing care they provide.

Unfortunately you can't give ZERO stars. Our healthy 9-year old female golden retriever had a urinary tract infection. Dr. Powell gave her the first injection of Convenia with 2nd injection to follow 14 days later. None of the side effects of drug were disclosed prior to Dr. Powell administering EITHER INJECTION. (This drug has 14 side effects of which our pet experienced 7 - which included death, seizures, hemolytic anemia, inappetance; vomiting, diarrhea & acute pulmonary edema. This information can be found on the Convenia Drug insert which available at the Zoetis web site. In addition, this drug is labelled for bacterial skin infections. Two weeks later we brought her back for 2nd injection of Convenia. Again, we were not informed of any of the side effects. This drug can remain in the body for up to 65 days. No urine test was done prior to the injection to see if the infection was improving as per drug manufacturer label instructions. Less than 4 weeks after 2nd injection she had two seizures within a 10-hour period and was taken to back to ACOMP. Phenobarbital and Clavamox were prescribed and she was also given an injection of Atropine. More seizures followed and then she started having clots of blood in her water bowl. Back to ACOMP. Unfortunately Dr. Spitz was on call since it was a Sunday morning and he was giving possible reasons for the blood clots in her water and he only agreed to see her after I hung up and told him I was taking her to an Emergency Vet Clinic. He then called back and agreed to see her. He prescribed with Doxycycline and Prednisone. Two days later back to ACOMP for more blood work as she was not improving, where she stayed for two days. Dr. Powell said he couldnt help her and referred us to the Emergency Vet in Fairfield where she was immediately diagnosed with Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia and Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia. She stayed there for nearly a week and then came home on a ton of meds. Three days after she came home she had 6 seizures in a 12 hour period and she was put back on the Phenobarbital. Back to Emergency Vet for bloodwork and checkup. She was having great difficulty with her mobility because of all the meds she was on. Six days later back to Emergency Vet for more bloodwork, still having difficulty walking. Two days later she could not walk at all. She would not eat. She was breathing very heavily and we took her back to the Emergency Vet at 4:30 AM. We were told she had fluid around her heart and possibly had a blood clot to her spine. The vet described her condition like she was drowning and couldnt keep her head above water. She had been too good a companion and felt we had no other choice but to euthanize our beloved girl. We did not want her to continue to be in any more pain. We strongly believe we lost our pet due to the two injections of Convenia that she received at ACOMP. I called Zoetis, the manufacturer of this killing drug to inform them that we had lost our pet after she received two injections and they told me that Dr. Powell had already notified them of the adverse reaction that our girl experienced. I asked over and over if the Convenia shots could have been responsible for her illness and was told no every time, so why did Dr. Powell notify the drug manufacturer that she died after being injected with their lethal drug? We lost our healthy dog because she had a urinary tract infection and was given injections she never should have received. Read Less

I needed a local vet for one of my 7 dogs. Tried this place after looking at reviews. I actually got the owner of the practice who clearly is just going thru the motions . He kept referring to my dog as she when he is a male. He paid no attention to the dog at all which should have been my first clue but with a sick dog I was just hoping for good care. Never ever again. 3 days later on my way to Fairfield emergency to the true professionals. This place was a joke. All about the in and out daily appointments. If you have a real issue don't waste your time or money on these guys. $650 later they never bothered to even call and check. Let's not forget I have 7 dogs, could have been a big client for them. But as usual no one cares.Read Less

We did not want her to continue to be in any more pain. We strongly believe we lost our pet due to the two injections of Convenia that she received at ACOMP. I called Zoetis, the manufacturer of this killing drug to inform them that we had lost our pet after she received two injections and they told me that Dr. Powell had already notified them of the adverse reaction that our girl experienced. I asked over and over if the Convenia shots could have been responsible for her illness and was told no every time, so why did Dr. Powell notify the drug manufacturer that she died after being injected with their lethal drug? We lost our healthy dog because she had a urinary tract infection and was given injections she never should have received. Read Less

I needed a local vet for one of my 7 dogs. Tried this place after looking at reviews. I actually got the owner of the practice who clearly is just going thru the motions . He kept referring to my dog as she when he is a male. He paid no attention to the dog at all which should have been my first clue but with a sick dog I was just hoping for good care. Never ever again. 3 days later on my way to Fairfield emergency to the true professionals. This place was a joke. All about the in and out daily appointments. If you have a real issue don't waste your time or money on these guys. $650 later they never bothered to even call and check. Let's not forget I have 7 dogs, could have been a big client for them. But as usual no one cares.Read Less
