Important and Exciting Changes to Oldwick Animal Hospital’s Weekend Availability!

Please note important changes regarding ALL weekend appointments!

Dear Clients:

We are excited to share the news that Oldwick Animal Hospital is now part of a collaborative group of trusted, local, privately-owned veterinary hospitals working together to expand availability and share resources – all to better serve you and your pets!

We will continue to serve our patients as usual during the week, and offer more care and peace of mind with expanded weekend hours as part of the group on:

Saturdays:  8:00 AM - 4:00 PM for scheduled Wellness and Sick/Urgent Care
Sundays:     8:00 AM - 4:00 PM for Sick/Urgent Care only.

All weekend appointments will be seen at nearby Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital, staffed by doctors and team members from all the group hospitals – including Oldwick.

FAQs

What does this mean for my pet(s)?

More access to care than ever before. You will have more availability to see a conveniently located, trusted veterinarian, and a greater chance of avoiding stressful, costly emergency room visits.

When is this change happening?

Starting Saturday, October 4, 2025, all weekend appointments will be seen at nearby Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital, 411 US Highway 22 East, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889 — just 3 miles down the road.

Will I be able to see my usual veterinarian?

Yes. To keep your care personal and familiar, an Oldwick Animal Hospital doctor will be on staff at the Hunterdon Hills location on most Saturdays, along with support staff from the Oldwick team. You may continue to schedule with your doctor of choice if you wish to see them on a Saturday. You may also see another doctor from the group.

On Saturdays, the Hunterdon Hills location will be staffed by three doctors and support staff from the family of group practices, on a rotating schedule. The Oldwick team will be working alongside two other doctor teams from the collaborative group.

There will be occasional Saturdays when an Oldwick doctor will not be scheduled, but there will be three doctors from the family of group practices who will have access to your pet’s records and will be happy to provide excellent care for your pet.

How do I make an appointment for Saturday care?

Simply contact Oldwick Animal Hospital as usual, and our receptionists will schedule your weekend appointment at the Hunterdon Hills location. While the Oldwick location will no longer be open on Saturdays, our Oldwick reception desk will be staffed on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM to assist you. You may also call Hunterdon Hills at 908-534-2321 to schedule your Saturday appointment.

What if I need to pick up my pet’s food or medication on a Saturday?

You can. Our Oldwick location will no longer be open to the public on Saturdays, but our Oldwick reception desk will be staffed on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM to answer your calls and assist with scheduling, medication pickups, and general information. Medications that were approved and prepared prior to Saturday can be picked up at the Oldwick location on Saturday; just contact us to make the arrangements.

Can I schedule a Sunday appointment?

Yes. We are excited to be able to offer Sunday urgent care appointments for our patients.

Sunday appointments are reserved for urgent care and sick pet appointments only (not wellness exams). Please call Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital at 908-534-2321 if your pet needs urgent medical care on a Sunday.

Oldwick Animal Hospital doctors are not staffing Sundays, but a trusted urgent care doctor from our group will see your pet for Sunday urgent care and sick appointments.

Who else has access to this weekend care?

Only clients and patients of the group of our collaborating animal hospitals can make weekend appointments at Hunterdon Hills. We hope this will provide more care and address urgent medical concerns, while keeping you and your pet close to home and out of emergency rooms.

Will my veterinarian know if I am seen at Hunterdon Hills over the weekend?

Absolutely. Records from weekend appointments will be transferred to Oldwick by Monday.

How else will this collaboration help my pet(s)?

By joining this collaborative network, Oldwick Animal Hospital clients now have access to, and priority appointments for, expanded care options across our local family of hospitals, including:

  • Oncology services for advanced cancer diagnosis and treatment
  • Specialty surgeries performed by board‑certified surgeons
  • Behavior consultations with experienced veterinary behaviorists
  • Expanded holistic care appointments such as acupuncture, laser therapy, and integrative approaches to alternative medical care

We are proud to continue innovating and expanding so that you and your pets always have access to the highest-quality care, exactly when you need it – and to do so as a 100% locally, privately-owned group of veterinary hospitals. Our roots are right here in the community, and our focus is providing the very best care for your pets.

Please contact us if you have any additional questions or would like to schedule an appointment.

Warmly,
