Any good Vets in NJ with experience in handeling our special hounds??


  • I have taken suuny to 3 vets in his 5 year life span and dont really like any….......... I always had better luck diagnosing sunnys problems better myself than the vet. I always come back with NO REAL ANSWERS but always a HiGE bill . This month alone i spent 500.00 dollars for two vet visits.

    I can overlook the bill if the i had good resolutions .............

    Any suggestions ....Please help


  • Where in NJ? I mean it's not a huge state but certainly not worth driving from north to south or east to west.

    IF you are near Bristol, PA… just a hop across the bridge... I highly recommend Pets Best Friend, Dr Shirley Jeffers. She was research vet before, utterly great, and her Vet Tech Brenda is my go-to person even though I now live in GA!

  • Wow. that is great . Bristol, PA is not far at all from me. I am in central jersey for another 2 months but then i move to south jersey in burlington county, so from bordentown, nj bristol shows to be only 20 min drive…..............I LOVE IT . i drive 40 for my current vet office.


  • You'll love her then, she does rescue stuff, is simply wonderful.

    Sorry to hear that Oakley went though this, but I have to say thanks for posting about this. I use Xylitol for my own baking/sweetening while I'm dieting… looks like I'll only keep the Stevia in the house... in the highest cupboad!

    When I took my puppy to my vet, he said he had little knowledge of the Basenji, but he would start reading up on them. Since that time, he's thanked me for the opportunity, and says he is learning more all the time - at our last visit for final puppy shots he said he felt he was becoming quite an expert - if you come across a vet who doesn't have a lot of knowledge about them, he could quite easily love the challenge and become great on the Basenji issues. I told him I'd sent for the DNA marker kit and had Shaye tested (thank God, it was clear), and he launched into a really good discussion about the symptoms, illness, etc., and said he was glad I'd done that, but maybe in a while we would do some blood work to be sure of everything. I feel very confident with him now - so, a good vet with a love to be challenged can be an answer too.
