Dr. Fritz started as a mobile veterinarian in 2003 and as his clientele grew he saw the need to open an office. At that time Amy, his wife and veterinary pharmacist, joined Coastal Veterinary and they opened a small office in Seaside Heights close to the Cranberry Inlet. This location served our practice well until Superstorm Sandy wrecked that office. Luckily, we were still growing and needed a larger space, so we were already in the process of renovating our current location in Toms River. We opened in Toms River days after Superstorm Sandy and quickly finished this office as we worked to continue serving our clients.  Our new location had more space and we continued to grow so we added more staff. We searched long and hard to find another veterinarian that would be a good match to our current practice and continue with the mindset of why we are so well liked in the community. We brought in Dr. Mindy Feldman in December 2017 and continued to grow so we have now brought in Dr. Dustin Pascal in January 2023.  We are still currently serving our Toms River and surrounding areas with our friendly family like veterinary team providing the best care to your pets as if they were our own.

Diagnostics &amp; Imaging: Getting Answers, Guiding Better Care When your pet isn’t feeling their best—or when something just seems “off”—diagnostics and imaging help us find the answers quickly and accurately. These tools allow veterinarians to see what’s happening inside your pet’s body without invasive procedures, making it easier to diagnose illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and plan effective treatment.Why Are Diagnostics Important?Pets can’t tell us what’s wrong, and early signs of illness are often subtle. Advanced diagnostics help us catch problems early—when they’re most treatable—and ensure we’re not guessing when it comes to your pet’s health.Whether it’s a routine wellness check or something more urgent, in-house diagnostics give your veterinarian a clearer picture of your pet’s internal health.What Types of Diagnostic Services Do We Offer?Our hospital offers a wide range of diagnostic and imaging tools, including:Bloodwork &amp; Lab Testing<ul><li>Complete Blood Count (CBC)</li><li>Blood chemistry panels (organ function, electrolytes)</li><li>Thyroid and hormone testing</li><li>Tick-borne disease screening</li><li>Feline leukemia/FIV testing</li><li>Heartworm testing</li></ul>Urinalysis &amp; Fecal Testing<ul><li>Detects infections, crystals, or kidney issues</li><li>Screens for internal parasites, Giardia, and more</li></ul>Digital Radiology (X-Rays)<ul><li>High-quality imaging of bones, chest, abdomen, and joints</li><li>Useful for identifying fractures, arthritis, foreign bodies, tumors, or lung disease</li></ul>In-House Laboratory<ul><li>Fast turnaround for urgent or same-day cases</li><li>Supports more accurate diagnosis and quicker treatment decisions</li></ul>When Might Your Pet Need Imaging or Lab Tests?<ul><li>Vomiting or diarrhea</li><li>Limping or pain</li><li>Labored breathing or coughing</li><li>Weight loss or appetite changes</li><li>Lethargy or behavioral changes</li><li>Monitoring chronic illnesses</li><li>Pre-surgical evaluations or senior wellness screening</li></ul>What to ExpectYour veterinarian will walk you through the purpose of each test or imaging recommendation, what the results may tell us, and next steps.
