Your Trusted Partner for Veterinary Services in Flanders & Landing, NJ
Founded in 1998, Animal Care Centers has dedicated over two decades to redefining veterinary care through personalized, compassionate service. Our roots run deep in Flanders and Landing, New Jersey, where our husband-and-wife founders, Drs. Chris Hallihan and Kristen Casulli, established a hospital prioritizing both medical excellence and emotional support for pets and their families. We specialize in treating a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, miniature pigs, and exotic species, ensuring every patient receives individualized attention. Our clinics feature modern diagnostic equipment and surgical technology, complemented by partnerships with institutions like IDEXX Laboratories and Crown Veterinary for advanced care. The practice emphasizes preventive medicine, offering wellness exams, vaccinations, and parasite prevention tailored to each pets life stage.

For more complex cases, our team provides internal medicine diagnostics, surgical interventions with laser therapy support, and dental services addressing both routine and advanced oral health needs. The hospitals philosophy centers on community integration, with a team known personally to clients who value transparency, empathy, and consistent communication. Our multi-disciplinary approach combines decades of experience in avian medicine, oncology, feline care, and surgical specialties through a team of five qualified veterinarians. Each location maintains a welcoming environment designed to minimize stress for both animals and owners, reflecting our belief that veterinary care extends beyond medical treatment to emotional well-being. This commitment to holistic pet care has solidified our reputation as a trusted medical partner for families across Morris County.
