About
Bridge Veterinary Hospital is a general-practice animal hospital on Bridge Avenue that says it has served the Point Pleasant community since 2015. It cares for cats, dogs and exotic pets such as birds, rabbits and reptiles, with wellness, preventive and diagnostic services.
The hospital is a privately owned practice with several veterinarians on staff, and it is open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 8 am to 3 pm, closed Sundays. Its service pages go well beyond checkups: digital X-ray and abdominal ultrasound, cardiology, dermatology, allergy and behavior care, pain management, rehabilitation and physical therapy, integrative medicine, microchipping and senior care. Exotic patients include birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and reptiles, and the practice also sells puppy and kitten wellness packages and helps with paperwork for domestic pet travel.
New clients can request an appointment online or by phone. The site asks owners to send prior medical records ahead of time, bring a fecal sample if possible, and have dogs leashed or cats in carriers. Arriving 5 to 10 minutes early leaves time for paperwork. Owners call from the parking lot to check in; a technician then records the pet's weight, diet, history and medications before the veterinarian's exam, and any take-home medications are reviewed in the exam room.
The hospital does not run overnight hours. For after-hours emergencies, its website directs owners to 24-hour referral hospitals, naming NorthStar Vets in Brick and Robbinsville, Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Toms River and Eatontown, and Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. Prescription refills can be ordered through an online pharmacy, and clients have access to a pet portal.
