Animal Care Center

What Animal Care Center does

Animal Care Centers is a privately held, family-owned companion animal veterinary hospital founded in 1998 by husband-and-wife Doctors of Veterinary Medicine Chris Hallihan and Kristen Casulli. The practice operates two full-service clinic locations — 96 Bartley Flanders Rd in Flanders, NJ, and 112 Kings Highway in Landing, NJ — serving pet owners across Morris County with preventative care, internal medicine, diagnostic testing, surgery, dentistry, exotic pet services, and end-of-life care. Differentiators include AAHA accreditation, Fear Free Certified Professional staff, and Cat Friendly Practice designation, and the practice accepts dogs, cats, and a broad range of small and exotic animals including ferrets, birds, and pigs.

The business combines a fee-for-service clinical model with an emerging retail hardware line. Core veterinary revenue is generated per-visit and per-procedure, with payment required at time of service and CareCredit financing available for client payment plans. Internally, the practice runs on the ezyVet cloud practice management platform, which powers an online client portal for scheduling, vaccine due dates, invoices, and medical records, and partners with My Vet Store Online for prescription fulfillment. Distribution of services is direct-to-consumer at the two physical locations, while in 2025 the practice extended into product sales with the Wyse Total Pet Kitchen — a veterinarian-recommended all-in-one pet food multicooker priced at $399 (sale: $299) — sold at clinic locations and through Amazon.com. Marketing is community-driven, supported by a website, blog, downloadable rehabilitation guides, training resources, and client forms. Headcount, revenue, and ownership structure beyond the two founders are not publicly disclosed.
