Lap of Love assists families and their pets throughout North Jersey, including Hackensack, Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, and surrounding communities. Our experienced veterinarians provide compassionate care for your dog or cat, including in-home euthanasia and hospice. We can also assist with some exotic pets too.

Lap of Love Veterinary Care Coordinators are here to answer your questions 24/7, every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. Appointments with our veterinarians are scheduled throughout the week, please call for availability.

Sometimes pets take a turn for the worse overnight or in a short amount of time, so we do our best to accommodate same-day appointments with a few hours notice, but cannot guarantee that. If this is a medical emergency, please contact your local veterinarian or one of the emergency clinics listed in the Local Resources section.

Veterinary hospice specifically addresses comfort care and pain management for pets. Our telehospice service allows you to speak with a doctor to discuss your pet's quality of life.
