Somerset Veterinary Group

What Somerset Veterinary Group does

Somerset Veterinary Group is a full-service small-animal veterinary hospital located at 1074 US Highway 22 East in Bridgewater, New Jersey, serving pet owners across Somerset County including Raritan, Somerville, Bound Brook, Hillsborough, Branchburg, and Bedminster. Founded in 1936, the practice operates as a single-location animal hospital providing preventive and wellness care, vaccinations, dental care (including digital dental radiology and dental surgery), general and orthopedic surgery, advanced diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, echocardiography), therapeutic laser treatment, and allergy/dermatology services for dogs and cats. The practice is Cat Friendly certified by FelineVMA and employs a Fear Free approach to reduce pet anxiety during visits.

The business model is fee-for-service veterinary care, with revenue generated from one-time service charges across the medical and surgical service catalog and from pharmacy and pet product sales (both in-clinic and via the integrated OurVet online pharmacy for home delivery). Client access is multi-channel: phone scheduling, 24/7 online booking, a PetDesk-powered mobile app for iOS and Android (added in March 2024), and walk-in availability for established clients. Underlying technology consists of conventional veterinary diagnostic equipment (digital radiology, ultrasound, echocardiography, therapeutic laser) and standard client-engagement software; there is no proprietary technology platform, AI component, or data product disclosed. Marketing is primarily local, content-driven, and reputation-led, anchored by a 4.6 Google Reviews rating, an educational blog, and a single headquarters location. The practice is managed by VetCor, a Norwell, Massachusetts-based veterinary management company. Headcount is stated at 11-50 employees.
