Clifton Dog And Cat Hospital

Clifton Dog & Cat Hospital is the oldest animal hospital in Clifton and is thriving despite many practices that have opened in the area. Dr. Unay, the owner of the facility, has been delivering topnotch comprehensive companion animal medical and surgical care services to clients since 1982. Among the many major surgical interventions that Dr.Unay performs are perineal urethrostomy to correct repea

ted, frequent urinary blockage by
preventing urinary struvite crystal (stone) retention in cats and a**l sac total ablation to correct frequent, repeated a**l gland saculitis (infection). Edna, Dr.Unay’s wife, is the Office Administrator and is an RN and has been an OR nurse most of her career. She was the Owner/Administrator of a Senior Residential Health Care Facility in Sparta. Edna coordinates and supervises strict adherence to practice protocols required by the American Animal Hospital Association (known worldwide as AAHA) an international association of veterinarians. and Canadian veterinary hospitals combined become successfully accredited. We pride ourselves in the fact that Clifton Dog & Cat Hospital has successfully maintained AAHA’s highest standard of accreditation since 1989. Sandie Conklin our receptionist and also a very competent animal technician has been with Clifton Dog & Cat Hospital since 1991 and has animal welfare at her core. “ So many wonderful animals and people come through our doors. I have truly been blessed to be able to come to work each day and share it with them! I have worked with Dr. Unay for more than 23 years and would like to attest that he is the most thorough of surgeons who never leaves anything to chance. All our surgeries from a simple neutering to a much more complicated repair of torn meniscus, in 23 years I have never seen any of these surgeries not turn out well. I know that I would not take any of my pets to any veterinarian but him. As a matter of fact technicians and fellow veterinarians from some places he worked before have their pets medically or surgically treated by him.”

Dr. Nicole Holleuffer is our Associate Veterinarian. Dr. Holleuffer began volunteering at the Clifton Dog and Cat Hospital when she was 16 years old.
” I was so thankful for the wonderful opportunity given to me by Dr. Unay. During my time volunteering at the hospital he became my mentor and I gained a great deal of knowledge and experience. During my fourth year of veterinary school, I had the opportunity to participate in an evaluated preceptorship at the Clifton Dog and Cat Hospital, under the guidance of Dr. Unay. Having been exposed to both a large university hospital and the community practice of the Clifton Dog and Cat Hospital, I was able to observe the differences between these settings. We are like a family here and it is a pleasure to come to work each day. I love the personalized relationships with clients and their pets that this practice provides and I am proud to be helping provide quality medicine to my community. The warm friendliness and compassion shown by our staff makes our hospital a comfortable, welcoming place for families and their pets. We offer many services from wellness examinations and vaccinations to high quality diagnostic, medical, and surgical treatments for the life of your pet. We would love to welcome you and your beloved companions into our family here at the Clifton Dog and Cat Hospital.”

May Anne Yap is currently a student at William Paterson University and is aspiring to become a veterinarian. Clifton Dog & Cat Hospital prides itself to having helped many aspiring students fulfill their lifelong dreams of becoming veterinarians. “I first started here at Clifton Dog & Cat Hospital as a volunteer to gain personal knowledge for my possible future career. I was able to observe Dr. Unay perform many examinations and surgical procedures. A few months later, I was offered a part time position which permitted me to have a more hands-on experience in the hospital. In the short time I have been here, I can honestly say that this hospital is a great place to bring your pets. Dr. Unay and all the employees give genuine services to each pet and offer every available option to the owner for the treatment of the sick pet. It is great to know they will do all they can to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. I am very happy and grateful to have the opportunity to be part of such an experience.”
