I cannot thank Dr. O'Rourke and the Staff at Small Animal Veterinary Associates enough for the kindness and compassion showed to us during a very sad and difficult time. We were vacationing from out of state when we had an emergency with our 15 year old Westie and they immediately made time for us. They were extremely caring and compassionate.

I love the staff. My baby was almost 21, a beautiful black cat who adopted me in 1997, when I had to let her go a year and a half ago. They were incredibly compassionate and helped me through a very sad time. I’ve since been adopted by two adult cats from Ocean County Animal Shelter and I still go to TR Small Animal Hospital. They are not the least expensive, but they are the best!!

SAVA is the best. We were nervous to leave our old vet when we moved to Toms River, however SAVA made the transition seamless. We have a senior cat, with lots of medical issues and the vets, especially Dr. Sydlowski, are patient, kind and thorough every time we come in. I cannot say enough good things about this team!

The staff is SUPER friendly and very nice! They are a great vet and take care of my dogs which I appreciate more than anything. We went to another vet before this, we switched here when an issue happened with one of my pups and they were able to squeeze us in same day and I’m grateful that we did. I am very happy here. I will be telling everyone how amazing they are and will recommend!

My dog ate a combat roach bait and I panicked. They took her in and did an exam and called the poison control center for animals. They took such great care of her. Staff was extremely friendly and caring!

Dr. O'Rourke and her staff have taken care of our mini-Poodle, Cosmo, for 19yrs. The office visits have been friendly and professional ever since he was a 10 week old puppy. Each phase of his life span has been carefully monitored.

They really came through for us last week. While we have used them before for other pets and occasional ferals from a local colony, they never saw Max, who we rescued in July. When Max and my husband got attacked by a loose dog, I called SAVA to see f they could see Max on an emergency situation.

I'm very happy with the care my puppy has received so far. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. All decisions and tests/procedures have been explained well.

Small Animal Veterinarian is truly a very welcoming animal hospital. I've been there when my cat was very seriously ill and they pointed me in the right direction. Now have 2 new cats and have gone back to make sure things were good. Would recommend this vet office. Doctor's and staff are super pleasant and efficient.
