My wife and I have had many different vets in our lifetimes, but none that have gone so above and beyond for our dogs. We absolutely love Dr. Stacey, Dr. Feddersen and their team. They're so passionate and competent with our dogs specific needs.

First time i went to Little Silver Animal hospital i have used another local vet for over 15 years.My cat who is 17 yrs old needed attention for her paw. I was pleasantly surprised how helpful and caring the staff was. My poor cat was nervous and they were very understanding. The doctor explained her condition to me and gave me medicine to treat her problem for next two weeks. I was not taken advantage price wise the doctor did not try to push any unnecessary test as some animal hospitals do and i appreciated it. If you have a pet that needs medical attention i would highly recommed Littke Silver

Blown away by the level of care my dog is getting here. I recently switched to Little Silver after being at another vet for 6 years that is two minutes from my house. I now drive 20 minutes each way to go to a vet that cares as much as I do about my little girl. The love they show towards animals is clear, the level of care they give is incredible and the patience with me (never rushed, very thorough, compassionate delivery) is sooooo refreshing. Im thrilled that this is my new vet. This is the way all animas and owners should be treated!!

The care and compassion at Little Silver Animal Hospital is exceptional. My sweet kitty, Maya had the best care for the past 9 years. When she got sick, the vets helped tremendously with their sound advice and responsiveness. Dr. Stacy and Dr. Fedderson gave my sweet girl the best care and helped me understand her condition. They empowered me to give her the care she needed up until the very end.
Once she passed, the entire staff made a very difficult day a little bit easier. I highly recommend them! A very special thanks to Donna and Sharon. You are all wonderful humans and should feel good about

I came here for a second opinion and I am so glad I did. Little Silver Animal Hospital is so informative and knowledgeable. I will now be switching vets because I know my dogs will get the best care here. The veterinarian and staff are so welcoming.

I adopted my dog through a local rescue and was directed here for his neuter. Good experience on drop off and pickup on the day.
