About Bergen County Veterinary Center

Bergen County Veterinary Center opened its doors in June of 2015; however, the dream for Dr. Shiffman started long before that. It was Dr. Shiffman’s vision that led to the creation, as well as the construction, of BCVC. In order to stay true to her vision, Dr. Shiffman took very special care in hiring the right people to fill the hospital, from the front desk receptionist, doctors, and techs to the person in the back taking care of the kennels. The goal has always been to provide a warm and inviting environment with compassionate care while employing the most advanced veterinary medicine available.

It is our hope that from the minute you walk through the door, past the brick walls and old barn passageway, you will find the most up-to-date facility run by the most extraordinary people, all to provide you and your pet with the very best care.

In just its second year of operation, the community voted Bergen County Veterinary Center as runner-up in the “Best of Bergen” competition for Best Veterinarian/Animal Hospital. Bergen County Veterinary Center has consistently received this same award, including most recently in 2026. As seen on Google and Yelp, Bergen County Veterinary Center is held in high regard and has received much acclaim from many of its clients. Bergen County Veterinary Center also works closely with multiple rescue groups in the community, including RDR and CATS, which you can read more about on our Community Involvement page HERE.
