Chester Animal Hospital

My dog had a tumor and originally we went to Dr.Dave just for a second opinion. We had been going to our previous vet for 7+ years, but after the initial visit and seeing how thoroughly Dr.Dave examined my dog, we knew he was the best person to treat our pup and eventually amputate his toe to remove the tumor. He made accommodations to perform the surgery ASAP. On the day of the surgery, his staff promptly followed up with us throughout the day. My dog is petrified of many things and will refuse to go inside somewhere he is not comfortable....we were shocked that after the surgery he happily ran inside the office for his follow up appointment! Dr.Dave quickly got back to us with his biopsy results and has been super helpful with next steps and referring us to an oncologist.

it is scary whenever something is wrong with our fur babies, but the whole team at Chester Animal Hospital has helped to make this tough time be as easy as possible and I could not recommend them more!! We are SO HAPPY we found them.

Dr. Dave and his team are awesome. I’ve been taking my golden, Hank, there for 6 years now. While he might not be the biggest fan of going to the vet, there’s nowhere else I’d rather bring him. Trustworthy, friendly, caring, and knowledgeable staff. Happy to call Dr. Dave and his team our primary veterinarian.

We travel 45 minutes to see Dr. Dave. No other veterinarian has given the same level of soul to my pets that he gives.
The staff is THE TOPS as well!

After our long time vet from Long Valley passed away, we struggled to find another small town vet. One of our friends then mentioned Chester Animal Hospital and thought we should give him a try. A few years later we are still taking our pets here and have found the Dr and staff to be very friendly and caring. Our pets are happy too !

We've been going to Dr. Dave and his staff for 20+ years and couldn't be happier. We've had many rescued cats and dogs, and Dr. Dave has proven his diagnostic skills time and again. We love the small town \ home town doctor feel and the attention that we get. Dr. Dave is an asset to our community.

One of our beloved cats was diabetic. He lived for 18+ years, 10 of those years as a diabetic who needed insulin twice a day. Dr. Dave was able to suggest the proper diet, show us how to monitor his blood sugar ourselves at home, and give him the proper amount of insulin. We were able to help the cat recover from a serious case of diabetic neuropathy. The cat lived a long and healthy life and we owe it to Dr. Dave and the Chester Animal Hospital staff. If we had caught the diabetes earlier, there would have been a good chance he could have been cured of it all together. Amazing. When it was time to let our beloved cat go, the staff was compassionate and caring. Dr. Dave explained exactly how everything would go and was patient and caring during our grieving.

Lastly, no one likes to see those huge bills when they take their pet to the doctor. Dr. Dave has always kept his prices reasonable, and I think that might be attributed to the low overhead that he has. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles, just a humble family veterinarian and his animal loving staff.

We consider ourselves lucky that we've found Dr. Dave and for the care and compassion our pets received.
