Overview

We’re here to serve you and your pets every day. Our goal is to elevate and inspire the level of the human-animal bond through our dedicated, compassionate, and, above all, CARING veterinarian-centered team

After practicing strictly out of a mobile vet unit to get his start, Dr. Spinks constructed the original Animal Hospital of Sussex County in 1986. Using architectural plans that meet the standards of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), a complete renovation and expansion was completed in 2000. The state-of-the-art hospital undergoes biennial review to maintain its membership in this prestigious organization

Mission — We strive to deliver the highest-quality veterinary care while building trusting relationships between our staff and clients
