    About Coastal Veterinary

    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.
