Creatures Large & Small Animal Hospital

Staff was kind n personal to my Bestie K-9 as well as being compassionate to me as well. I will be taking his little sister for her K-9health needs should they raise! Thank You !

Customer for life! I have known Dr. Russ for over 30 years and I have taken all my pets to him. I have tried other Veterinarians since I moved 2 hours north, but I didn’t get the kind of care I expected. So now we all get into the car and take the drive for my dog’s checkup.

Loving and attentive staff who make your pet feel like one of their own. Classic veterinary practice without all the pushy upsell of newer "modern" places. You will never leave here feeling like they didn't do everything possible to make your pet feel comfortable.

Always a pleasure dealing with Dr Russ and staff. Have been with them for 14 years and always have been there for me and my pups! Very responsive to calls and care about your pet as if they were theirs.

I just love Dr Russ & Diane they are the excellent with your pet they treat them like it was their own dog or any animal they took amazing care of my late Gizmo aka Gizzy who was a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel that Genetically have heart issues which my Gizzy did it was terminal but Dr Russ did everything possible to treat my Gizzy he was really bad when first diagnosed & Dr Russ gave me an extra year with my Gizzy with him not suffering but it came to the end of his heart disease & even the cardiologist said that there was nothing else that could be done medications were not working anymore so I had to do what was the hardest thing ever but the most loving & kind thing to stop his suffering he had 12 pounds of fluids in lungs & around heart & in his tummy I miss him so this June 1st 2019 will be 3 years he crossed Rainbow Bridge 😪🙏 I was so very depressed from grief I wouldn’t get out of bed I had Gizzy from 4 months old till almost his 8th Birthday then my groomer/friend at Leslie’s Grooming in Brick on Rt 88 who her & her hubby run are so amazing they treat all the dogs they groom like they were there own very gentle in fact when Gizzy got his bath & facial from Cliff he fall asleep but Leslie called me & had a old time friend that had to get rid of one of their dogs due to a moving situation so I gave my Regan her 2nd & last forever home & she immediately was my baby girl & wouldn’t leave my side or lap & followed me everywhere she fit right in & loved me unconditionally immediately & helped with my grief & took over my Gizzy job of loving me unconditionally & watching over me & taking care of me due to me being on disability & Dr Russ & Diane are taking excellent care of her she just got diagnosed with Heart disease called Mitral Valve regurgitation Which when I found out I was crying like a baby & just was so concerned for my baby girl Regan after what I went through with Gizzy & Dr Russ & Diane were so great they calm me down & immediately did X-ray which showed her heart was enlarged & had little fluids though her heart disease is different from my late Gizzy it has the same symptoms so he ordered her 1st echocardiogram which the cardiologist comes to the Dr Russ office & does the echocardiogram himself & have her diagnosis so she was put on medications now she had a reaction to one of the medications & had to rush her to office after hours & Dr Russ gave her a shot to counteract the reaction & gave her a 1 time shot & couple pills for that night to calm her so she could sleep & didn’t charge me a dime he just so understanding of my situation on being on a fix income & he does what he can to help & the new medication with the other 2 medications has worked wonders she had her 2nd echocardiogram last month & her heart has shrunk to almost normal size her heart is beating as it should now & no fluids no leaking from her Mitral Valve & as she still has to take it easy only 1 walk a week on the beach & Inlet her favorite place sometimes & 2nd short one every month & half I’ll take her fir 2nd short walk for that week she has energy she play with her favorite Sabra squeaky toy or shall I say beat up her Santa squeaky toy (which used to be Gizzy’s ) Regan actually beat the squeak out of Santa he don’t squeak no more & any toy that has to do with Christmas she either beats up or plays hard with it I tell her Santa gonna give her coal fir Christmas if she keeps doing it lol but I spoil her on Christmas & everyday lol she has a lot of toys of her own & passed down from my late Gizzy who I say he sent her to me from Rainbow 🌈 Bridge lol but Dr Russ & Diane are amazing with her & every animal that is his patient or who he takes care of he give them the best care ever I recommend that you bring your animal to him ❤️❤️❤️❤️
