Loving Care Veterinary Hospital
Dr. Kristie Steele and her dedicated team bring advanced diagnostics and genuine warmth to every visit.
Since opening in September 2019, Loving Care Veterinary Hospital has built something genuinely rare on Union Valley Road: a modern, fully equipped animal hospital where the technology rivals specialty clinics and the staff still knows your pet by name. Dr. Kristie Steele, DVM, leads every aspect of care with the kind of hands-on attention that earned the practice a 4.6-star rating across more than 116 patient families.
The facility was designed from the ground up to keep almost everything in-house. Digital X-rays, dental radiographs, on-site laboratory testing, ultrasound, laser therapy, and an in-house pharmacy mean fewer referrals, faster answers, and lower out-of-pocket costs for West Milford pet owners. That commitment to affordability without cutting corners is the throughline of every review clients leave.
Dogs and cats from across Northern New Jersey make the drive here because the combination of Dr. Steele's calm expertise and a staff that genuinely cares is hard to replicate. One client brought her 20-year-old dog, Buddy, when her regular vet closed unexpectedly. She found exactly what she needed. That kind of trust is what Loving Care is built on.
Loving Care Veterinary Hospital covers the full spectrum of preventive and diagnostic care under one roof. Wellness and preventive care visits keep healthy pets on track with age-appropriate exams and vaccinations, while digital radiographs and digital dental X-rays give Dr. Steele a precise look at what's happening beneath the surface.
For deeper diagnostics, the clinic offers on-site laboratory testing and ultrasound so results come back the same day rather than days later. Laser therapy supports pain management and healing for pets recovering from injury or surgery. The Nu Q Vet cancer screening panel is one of the more forward-thinking offerings in the area, catching potential concerns early when outcomes are best. Dental care, including cleanings and digital dental X-rays, rounds out a preventive approach that keeps pets healthy from nose to tail.
The in-house pharmacy lets clients pick up prescriptions at checkout instead of hunting down a separate supplier. Every service is priced to be accessible to the Northern New Jersey community that Dr. Steele set out to serve when she opened the doors five years ago.
