Overview

The Barnegat Animal Clinic is a full service veterinary hospital. It is our goal to provide the highest quality veterinary medical care to our community. We strive to keep the cost of quality health care for your pets affordable

The Barnegat Animal Clinic was first established by Dr. Eric Muller in 1970. Dr. Steve Wurst purchased it in April 1984. It started as a three-bedroom house. The first change came with removing some walls and creating a prep/treatment area and a sterile surgical suite. At that time all of the pets were kept in a small bedroom. The next change came in 1986 with a 20 by 24 foot kennel room and indoor dog run area on the North side. As we continued to grow we needed more space and added a third examination room, a doctor's office, and an employee lounge on the Route 9 side. In 2003 we started the long process of doubling the hospital size. The latest expansion is now complete, which includes: doubling the square footage of the existing building, individual dog and cat wards, seven more dog runs, a larger surgical suite, a phone center, a conference room, advanced digital x-rays and ultrasound technologies, seven total exam rooms, an outpatient treatment room, a larger reception area, and a complete renovation of the whole building
