Dog Cat & Bird Clinic of Nutley

This place is very clean and nicely updated, but it’s very open without any sound dampening. So, my reactive rescue dog was scared and barking a lot … and it was like echoing throughout the building! Lots of tile and high ceilings are unkind to loud girls! So I had to take her outside and wait. It’s a VERY BUSY office, but it wasn’t a terrible wait. They took us in the side door to bypass the lobby. The room was clean and decent. They had tubs of precut treats like cheese! The vet was very nice and made fast friends with our sweet baby! The vet was thorough, and we discussed all of our baby’s issues, meds, vaccines, etc and came up with a game plan for the next 6 months or so. So I feel very comfortable having our fur babies come to this vet clinic! Aside from the issue with the waiting room, I will note that this vet is very pricey. But you get what you pay for (usually)! I will happily pay more for great care! Highly recommend!

I was referred here by a friend and I’m so happy that she did. I’ve since referred more friends here as well. I couldn’t ask for a more caring, heartfelt staff. The facility is always clean, warm and welcoming. The doctors and staff are so knowledgeable, friendly, and compassionate. They are the perfect example of what a veterinary practice should be. Most importantly, they always made my pets best interest their top priority. Overall, they have been an absolute blessing in my life, as well as my pets life, and I couldn’t ask for a better facility.

I have used the service's of the Nutley DC&B Clinic since 2007 for my Devon Rex cats. They have been compassionate professionals with prior senior cats and great with my new kitten. They return phone calls and follow up. This is a trustworthy place for your loved ones.

We’re so grateful to this incredible team for the love, gentleness, and compassion they showed during the passing of our beloved cat. Saying goodbye was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do, but your kindness and understanding made such a painful moment a little softer.🐾❤️ Thank you for the beautiful commemorative gifts to remember him by, they mean more than words can express. ✨ Your compassion will never be forgotten. 🐈‍⬛

The people in this office are nice, however the vet killed my bird. Don’t go here for your pet birds. I had a small budgie, who just was sleeping a lot and less lively, so I brought him here. Turns out he had a lung infection so the doctor gave him 2 injections, 1 the first week, 1 the following week, and everyday medicine for 2 weeks in his mouth. I followed the directions exactly how he explained. My budgie loss complete mobility after all those injections and so much weight, his balance was horrible, he couldn’t fly properly anymore, the poor animal was waiting to die. He just passed away today, if you have a bird who’s kinda sick just go to a designated AVIAN VET. Also spent almost 300$ trying to make him better. RIP Tweeti 🦜

Have been going for over 10 years. Last year both of my puppies had seperate rare and very serious sicknesses. Dr. Crupi and all of dog, cat, and bird clinic went above and beyond to help us and treated the dogs with exceptional care and compassion... Thankfully, both puppies are thriving.

I want to start by saying that I’ve been coming to this vet for years. The staff has always been incredibly kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and I truly appreciate the care they’ve provided. However, over the past few years, my cat has struggled with severe respiratory issues—frequent sneezing fits and mucus discharge. My vet believed it was Feline Herpes, likely due to his history as a rescue who spent time outdoors. Because of this, for years, I was bringing him in every few months for what we thought were flare-ups. I take full responsibility for not pushing for further testing, but I also was never informed that there was an option. Recently, during another flare-up, I decided to take him to a different vet, whom immediately suggested doing an upper respiratory test. The results showed that he has Bordetella (B. bronchiseptica) and tested negative for Feline Herpes. He’s been suffering from this for almost six years, receiving incorrect antibiotics all this time. Also, possibly giving my other pets the same bacteria. This discovery has been heartbreaking, and after over a decade of coming here, I don’t know if I can continue bringing my pets to this office. I’m sharing this not out of anger, but in the hope that it encourages more thorough diagnostic options for other pets in the future.
