Pet boarding/training near Metuchen

“When my Holly goes for daycare or a pupcation, she is always taken care of so well! She gets so excited, all we have to do is mention Houndstown
and she sits at the door waiting to go! I highly recommend them to all!“

“Vet is very knowledgeable and caring with the animals. Visits are easy but sometimes the wait can be a little long. I have been taking my dog for years now.“

“Dr. Chiosi a great Dr. takes his time to explain things, very thorough with his exams. The staff here are also wonderful. Don't hesitate to contact them if you are in need of care for your pet.“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Four Paws. As someone whose dog is genuinely the most important thing in the world to me, trusting people with him does not come easily — but I trust Four Paws completely. From daycare, to boarding, to grooming, every single experience has been incredible.

The staff is so kind, patient, and reassuring. They answer every question I have, call to check in, send updates, photos, and videos, and truly make me feel like my sweet boy is safe, loved, and cared for at all times. Even when he’s not exactly being the “best boy,” they somehow still make me feel like he is.

Ashley especially is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She treats every dog like they’re one of her own, and you can genuinely feel how much she cares. I recently used their grooming services for the first time, and I was blown away by the constant updates and reassurance throughout the process. Seeing videos and pictures of my boy being loved on the entire time meant everything to me.

Their daycare program has honestly been the best $40 I’ve ever spent. I have spent so much money trying to mentally stimulate my Golden Retriever at home, and NOTHING compares to how fulfilled and exhausted he comes home after a day at Four Paws. The convenience is amazing too — I can drop him off on my way to work and my husband can pick him up after.

Boarding there gave me such peace of mind. Being able to watch videos of him, get updates, and know I could reach out with any question at any time made all the difference.

And the BEST part? The second my dog realizes we’re pulling onto Main Street, he completely loses his mind with excitement. I have worked SO hard on leash training, but the second we pull up in front of Four Paws, I genuinely cannot hold him back — he is THAT excited to run inside and see his friends. That alone tells me everything I need to know.

I also really appreciate all the events and photo opportunities they do for the dogs, the safe socialization they provide, and even their kindness to the community. I recently donated some of my dog’s old items there, and anything they couldn’t use would be donated to local shelters in need, which I thought was so thoughtful.

I truly do not have a single bad thing to say. Every experience I’ve had has been positive, and I am so grateful Staten Island has a place like this. If I trust them with my dog, you can trust them with yours too.“

“We love Dogtopia ! The excitement of our dog as we turn into the parking lot says it all . He runs to their door.“

“Desiree has been helping my pup Dixon for a bit now, as I have hit my knowledge limit for doing it myself. She has helped refine my commands training process, and Dixon is showing clear improvements already! She has been fantastic! 6 stars!“

“The Westfield Animal Hospital has been taking care our pet dog Benji for years! Doctors, Technicians and Staff always attentive, caring and helpful. After visit, routinely get call with follow up testing results. Benji has also had dental cleaning and procedures. Highly recommended!“

“Came here to get my dog treated and the team was very attentive, educated and helpful.“

“Great experience every time Dr Jablecki is excellent we have a very complicated dog and she’s able to diagnose everytime. They’re the best from front desk to vets !

This was my review from a long time ago, service has gone downhill since Dr Jablecki left and all the front desk people and tech people left we used to know them all and were great. The new hires have no clue and are happy to pass you on to other vet hospitals, being a long time client meant nothing. Also the last time we took our friendly for nail clipping he was bleeding we didn’t realize until we got him in the car. Hope things change soon. Last call with the receptionist was good.“
