41 Morristown Road Bernardsville, NJ 07924 908-766-0041 Founded in 1957, the Bernardsville Animal Hospital has been operating at the same location for almost 60 years. In that sixty year history, the hospital has changed hands only twice. Once in 1961 and again in 1995. The clinic was built by a veterinarian named, oddly enough, Dr. Argue in 1957. We found his name stenciled on the back of fiberglass cages that were upgraded to stainless steel 20 years ago. Much has changed in the world of veterinary medicine over the past six decades. Veterinary medicine is as advanced today as most human medicine. From laser surgery to MRI’s to radiation therapy for cancer, all are available for treating today’s companion animal. 1957 2015 Dogs slept in the owner’s back yard Dogs sleep in the owner’s bed Spaying and neutering Widespread adoption of early spay/ was uncommon neuter to control pet populations Surgery with a scalpel Surgery with a LASER Little or no pain management Focus on providing pain relief Vaccines based on cost Vaccines based on safety Human-Animal Bond not recognized Celebration of the Human-Animal Bond Film and chemical Radiographs Digital Radiographs Use of human labs Large Veterinary Laboratories as well as In House Laboratories Untrained kennel workers Professional trained Veterinary Staff Cats lived in the barn Cats receive complete veterinary care Few women Veterinarians Women outnumber men in Veterinary Colleges Life span of under 10 years Many pets live past 15 Little or no cancer therapy Advanced options for cancer management Little or no Behavior counseling Behavior counseling commonplace Pets were “just animals” Pets are part of the family At the Bernardsville Animal Hospital, our health care team has some of the best trained, most compassionate, friendliest care-givers in the companion medicine community.
