BRIDGEWATER VETERINARY HOSPITAL
We are a full service pet care facility.
The hospital, led by veterinarian Dr. Michael R. Moyer, offers a full range of services, specializing in preventive care exams, vaccinations and surgical care.
We are very excited to announce that we have been working with Bensalem Township and their City Counsel members to help establish an ordinance to protect the stray and feral cats throughout our community. We are so happy to be a part of this project, as it will keep not only our community members safe, but it will establish guidelines for healthcare, food/water, and better shelter options for many cats. We wanted those of you who live in Bensalem Township to be aware of these changes that will be in effect 5 days after it is approved by the Mayor. We will be breaking down exactly what this ordinance means over a series of posts we will put out over the next few days. Please feel free to share!
Great article for all the pet parents 🐾
Birch sugar is the same thing as xylitol and it’s toxic to dogs - Veterinary Teaching Hospital
vetmedbiosci.colostate.edu
Labeled as “xylitol” within the ingredients list for most products, the same plant-derived substance can also be identified as “birch sugar” or “birch sap” in others.Here are a few tips to keep ur pets happy and healthy during these heat waves 🌞Walking ur fur babies in the early morning and later at night is much safer for them then walking in the middle of the day when it’s the hottest.
Make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water.
And never leave your pets outside in this weather.🐾🐾
There is no reason someone has to walk there dogs in 100 degree weather. Selfish
They have crocks for dogs now.
Our office will be closed tomorrow Friday July 28. We hope everyone has a great weekend🐾🐾. We will be open for regular office hours on Monday.
Please take a moment to read this article, it really sums up exactly what not only our office, but every veterinary facility is currently going through. We understand your frustrations about not being able to be seen right away, or not being able to get an appointment within a few days or a week of calling, and we are just as frustrated, if not more so than you guys! We love being a small hospital and being able to get to know our patients and clients well, and we've prided ourselves on always being willing and able to accommodate. But these days, as willing and wanting as we are, we physically aren't able to get every single pet immediately in for an appointment. We are jam packing our schedule every day, working through lunches, coming in early, and staying late to fit in as many pets as we can. But we are only 3 people, we can only do so much, so if your Chewy prescription takes an extra day or so, I promise we haven't forgotten. And if we recommend you take your pet to the ER its not because we don't care, in fact we care too much. We know how expensive they are, and how long the wait is, we wouldn't send you there if we had any other options. We've heard the stories of people being turned away from ERs and we feel just as helpless. We aren't an emergency facility, we aren't a specialty center, we wish we had all the fancy equipment and capabilities that they have, but the truth of the matter is we just don't. We're doing everything we can, but we're drowning in sick pets, so wellness appointments, vaccine visits, nail trims, and anal glad expressions might be pushed out a couple of weeks, and its not because we just like making things inconvenient or making you wait, we're just trying to help our patients that are in pain and suffering at the moment. We love every single one of our patients, even the ones that don't love us, but we would much rather be barked and hissed at by them than their owners 😅 so please just bear with us. Taylor and Christine are doing everything we can to help, even if we can't see you in the office we'll try to get a prescription called in to a pharmacy, or find any alternatives we can for things that are out of stock, etc. But please, yelling at us over the phones and telling us we don't care about your pet, and we're making your pet suffer because we can't see them for a day or 2, is uncalled for. We care more about your pets than you know, and we're still worried about them, crossing our fingers to see good news in the ER reports the morning after we've been cursed out and we'll still call to check on them after we've been called every name in the book. Because. We. Care. 💚🐶🐱💚

There are not enough humans to take care of all the animals.Spike and Sandy (and their humans) appreciate ALL that the three of you do! ❤️
You guys have been nothing but wonderful to our pets, Bella, Bandit (Who recently passed), and our newest addition, Cooper. I love the care and attention we get when we visit, and appreciated more than you’ll ever know the ‘realness’ that Dr. Moyer gave to me when we brought Bandit in at the end of his life. I work in healthcare, albeit the ‘people’ kind ☺️, and understand. The work you do is appreciated. I know I told people I work with all about the wonderful care my pets receive from you guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You guys are the best. I’m sorry you’ve been/are being mistreated. Piper and Ollie appreciate you!❤️
Bailey and Nellie appreciate you (me too) especially with all their aches and pains as they age maybe not so gracefully. ❤️
Please know that everyone in the Kumosinski family, furry and human, appreciate all that you do for us💚.
Sammy, Totes, Mitzy, and Fritz, and their humans love Dr. Moyer, Taylor, and Christine. Thanks for all the wonderful care! We appreciate you!
That sucks that people would yell at you! I love my dogs and if there is truly an emergency I'll go to the ER with one of them. Nikki does need her nails trimmed (yes, you know her and her tap dancing) but I can wait.
Reese and Ruby say hi! We appreciate you guys!
We love you guys! ❤️
We appreciate you!!!!!! I am so sorry yuu have to deal with ither people's attitudes
Murphy, Seamus & Bailey always receive excellent care! We sure do appreciate everything you do for us!
I appreciate very much having Dr. Moyer, Christine and Taylor taking care of my pets. There is no reason to mistreat any of you and I will stand up for you every time! I'd much rather go with a smaller, more personal practice where I feel heard and am treated like I have a brain. I appreciate the honest, practical way Dr. Moyer is and have recommended him many, many times. I have to be as comfortable with my vet and staff as I do my own doctors, so my pets won't go elsewhere, except in emergencies. Please hang in and don't let the nasty people change what you do! Ozzy and Jack will see you soon!
You guys do a wonderful job and Fathom, Tome and I truly appreciate it.
Sounds like this office needs another Brownie Box form Fairytale’s! 😉😉 We got you ❤️ Murray & Luna
You are all wonderful, caring, and very appreciated by my Max and Angus. You showed such compassion when Angus reached the rainbow bridge. So sorry you are going through such trying times.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, they really do mean everything to us and reading these comments is just making our day! We appreciate all of you 💚 and especially thank you for the pictures! We always love seeing our patients living it up outside of the office! 💚
Nya and Pixie also appreciate all, Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Moyer, Christine and Taylor for ALWAYS doing your best, going above and beyond, to try to help us when we’ve reached out. And for ALWAYS having a smile on your face and in your voice! All4paws Dog Training, The All4paws Ranch & myself love you & are always appreciative. ❤️🐾🐾❤️
The three of YOU are wonderful, caring, loving amazing individuals and the reason my pups are so healthy. I recommend you to everyone, and I always speak highly of the care we receive. No one should speak to any of you in any way other than kindness! Betty White is trying to figure out a way for another visit...you know how much she loves coming in! Doug on the other hand...lol. Keep up the AMAZING work, and know that we support you guys-always.
We appreciate the entire team at Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital!! You all are amazing and we are sorry some people are not being nice. Hang in there!!! Love always your favorite girls and Mickey🤪
Thanks for what you do, we love that you are a small office and schedule the way you do rather than sitting in a big too crowded waiting room. Ziggy needs her teeth cleaned. Is there a slower time ? Not an emergency clearly, we will call to schedule one day soon....
Some people do not know a good thing when they have it ,and that would be all three wonderful people who work at Bridgewater Vet Hospital!!!!
I love Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital. Everyone is sweet and amazing.
