Our History

Dr. Louis J. Crupi founded the Dog, Cat and Bird Clinic of Nutley on February 20, 1988 at our original location on Passaic Avenue in Nutley, NJ. The hospital began as a one-doctor practice with only a few employees, but soon grew to meet the area's demand for a reliable, professional veterinary caretaker for family pets.

Expanding into our current facility, right down the road at 324 Passaic Avenue, the clinic is now a multi-doctor practice with over 15 active support staff of technicians, client care representatives, and kennel attendants.

The caring veterinarians and staff of The Dog, Cat and Bird Clinic have been working hard to better serve the greater North Jersey area for over 30 years, with an established reputation for providing quality care and compassion for our patients, clients, and the surrounding community.

We offer complete pet services including pet wellness, animal diagnostics, and veterinary surgery, our experienced staff work to give every dog, cat, and bird in our community the attentive and compassionate care they deserve.

Appointment Policies

At the Dog, Cat and Bird Clinic of Nutley, we aim to provide the best possible care to our clients and patients.  Since our visits are by appointment only, we feel it is important to keep appointments running on schedule to respect everyone’s time and prioritize patient care. 

We understand that you may need to cancel an appointment occasionally. In such circumstances, please contact us no later than 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment time. You may do so by calling 973-661-0441 or emailing [email protected]. 

If you do not show up at your appointment time, we will consider that a no-show. No-show appointments will be subject to a fee, not to be more than the cost of an exam.  No-show fees are the client's sole responsibility and must be paid in full before your next appointment. 

We know that unexpected situations sometimes arise. In the case of emergencies or extenuating circumstances we may waive the no-show fee. Waivers are determined on a case by case basis, at the practice management's discretion.

If our office must change your appointment with less than 24 hours notice and you choose to cancel, we would not charge you any type of fee. 

If you have questions about any of our policies please call us or email the practice manager at [email protected].

We understand when you are worried about your pet it can be a challenging time, but under no circumstances can that be used as an excuse to be rude or abusive towards any of our staff.
We encourage both our staff and our clients to report any form of inappropriate behavior.
