Compassionate care in a green facility
A full-service, AAHA-accredited animal hospital rooted in the Tewksbury Township community.
A full-service hospital you can trust
Oldwick Animal Hospital is a full-service hospital offering medical, surgical, and dental care. Our staff prides itself on providing progressive, compassionate, and individualized medicine in a state-of-the-art "green" facility.
We believe client communication and education are essential to great care. We are proud to be AAHA accredited, placing us among only 15% of animal hospitals in North America that meet these higher standards.
Oldwick is part of the Symbios Animal Health family, a group of independently owned New Jersey hospitals that share records, specialists, and extended weekend coverage across 6 locations while staying rooted in their own communities.
The vision of Oldwick Animal Hospital is to be an integral part of the community. We provide unparalleled care for our clients and pets, and serve as a "safe haven" in times of natural disaster or family emergency.
Our vision also includes:
- Setting an example for progressive energy efficiency and green consciousness.
- Participating in community activities and helping to support community initiatives.
- Fostering the development of the community's youth through programs that introduce adolescents to proper animal care, and mentoring high school students interested in a career in veterinary medicine.

A calm environment

Pain management
Use pain-management protocols, when appropriate, to strive for zero patient discomfort.
