“My passion for animals started at a very young age and being a veterinarian was the only thing I could ever imagine as a profession. My path to pursue dentistry and oral surgery came when I was able to witness the incredible transformations in the lives of pets following treatment of their oral diseases. It’s fulfilling to see the improvement in the quality of life of both the pets and their owners when the gifted team at VDS diagnoses and surgically treats their diseases. We have long known the importance of oral health in human medicine, and it is my goal to provide that level of comfort and care for our beloved pets!”

Resident in Dentistry & Oral Surgery

“While I was working in a primary care setting, I noticed the resounding difference that treatment of dental disease made in my patients’ overall health and happiness, and the great improvement in quality of life that they experienced. I have now found the best job in the world, helping relieve pets from dental pain every day, and educating pet owners and other veterinarians about the importance of preventative and therapeutic dental care.”

She believes that she has found the best job in the world, helping relieve pets from dental pain every day, and educating pet owners and other veterinarians about the importance of preventative and therapeutic dental care.

“My passion for veterinary dentistry began as a general practitioner when I witnessed firsthand the positive impact dental care had on my patients. Seeing the dramatic improvement in pets’ lives once their mouths were pain-free has been one of the most rewarding aspects of veterinary medicine for me. I feel fortunate to work at VDS with talented specialists who have all trained in different programs. By bringing together their clinical experiences from both academia and private practice, their collaborative efforts help achieve the best possible patient outcomes.”

She then completed an internship at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, and returned to her home state of New Jersey and worked as a general practitioner and medical director for many years. This was when she discovered her love for veterinary dentistry.

Time and again, Dr. Hunt witnessed firsthand how treating a pet for oral disease and alleviating oral discomfort could dramatically improve their health and quality of life. She never tired of hearing comments like “My dog is acting years younger since his dental procedure!” or “My cat is eating much better now after her dental procedure!” In addition, she benefitted from the unique opportunity to work alongside board-certified veterinary dentists throughout her career. These experiences led her to pursue advanced training in veterinary dentistry. She completed her veterinary dentistry and oral surgery residency at Veterinary Dentistry Specialists (VDS) and became board certified in 2024.

I found that my patient’s quality of life improved after helping them obtain a healthy and comfortable mouth. My choice to work with VDS was simple: the standard of care is exemplary and I wanted to be a part of that. I can practice the highest level of medicine for my patients with cutting edge technology while working in a supportive environment with my colleagues. I am so fortunate that VDS has a network of brilliant veterinary dentists and anesthesiologists that allows me to collaborate with them to provide the best care to my patients if needed.

“Effective and safe pain management is one of the primary goals of VDS. In many instances, control of pain associated with dental or periodontal disease is one of the main reasons pet-owners seek oral care. In addition, many dental procedures are painful, and postoperative pain may persist for days. As a specialist in veterinary analgesia (pain management), my role is to provide the most up-to-date, safe and appropriate pain-relieving therapies for your pet. Working at VDS provides me this opportunity, using the latest in local regional techniques and oral and injectable pain-relieving medications. VDS also gives me the ability to collaborate with several other board-certified anesthesiologists and pain management specialists. This type of collegiality enhances the level of care provided to your pet and can only be done at VDS.”

“Being diagnosed with a possible heart problem is very scary when it affects a beloved four-legged family member. As a veterinary cardiologist, diagnosing and treating the disease is the first step, but I believe in educating pet parents. Teaching about heart disease, how we treat it, what to look for, and how pet parents can help at home is an integral part of our success. My goal is more tail wags, purring, and great time together.”

“My years in general practice taught me the transformational effect of dental care. Many pet owners have shared that a dental procedure has transformed their dog or cat into a youngster again! Specialty training taught me the finer points of life-saving procedures, such as removing oral cancers and jaw fracture repair, and these are some of the most rewarding cases.

The great thing about VDS is our uncompromising patient care. Each patient receives the best care in the finest facility from the best staff and world-renowned specialists.”

“My career in veterinary dentistry began after realizing how little I knew about dentistry and oral surgery after graduating from veterinary school. Oral disease is the most common reason dogs and cats visit the veterinarian and very few people know how to manage these diseases appropriately. This prompted me to pursue a residency training program in veterinary dentistry and oral surgery. I love the immediate gratification I receive when I see the difference a pain-free mouth can make in an animal’s life. That gratification is also what led me to open Veterinary Dentistry Specialists.
In creating the vision for these practices, my priority was to provide world-class clinical care experience combined with concierge-level service. Together, with our board-certified veterinary anesthesiologists, and our skilled and compassionate team members, we have brought that vision to life. We have been honored to serve the animals in need and look forward to many more years of providing care at various locations.”

The founder of Veterinary Dentistry Specialists, Dr. Rice is a board-certified veterinary dental specialist and Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC), with a strong track record of both academic and professional achievement.

He completed an internship in dentistry and oral surgery at Florida-based All Pets Dental Clinic under the mentorship of renowned veterinary dentist Dr. Jan Bellows, former president of the AVDC. He then completed and academic residency at the University of Wisconsin under the mentorship of Dr. William Gengler, also a former president of the AVDC. Dr. Rice then became the attending clinician of the dentistry and oral surgery service at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Rice has authored several research publications, lectures nationally and internationally on topics relating to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the mouth and face of dogs and cats.

Dr. Rice serves on the Board of Directors for the Southern New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association (SNJVMA). His term as Secretary runs throughout 2021-22.

“I found my passion in veterinary medicine early, I was in my second year of veterinary school, first week of classes, and I fell I love with anesthesia. For me, anesthesia’s draw comes from its need for a combined knowledge of medicine and physiology with an acute demand for problem solving. In clinical practice, anesthesia is vital for so many facets of veterinary medicine and the ability to facilitate procedures to improve animals’ quality of life is incredibly fulfilling.

At VDS I have the opportunity to manage anesthesia for high-risk patients and ensure patient comfort while working with a tight knit group of people that are passionate about what they do; make pets’ lives better!”

Biography

“Veterinary anesthesiologists are a small group, with the vast majority remaining in academia. After completing my residency, I knew that my goal was to bring that same level of expertise and care to the private practice setting. I wanted more patients to have access to an expert level of care. At VDS, I have achieved that goal. Finally, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to help patients in need of oral surgery and those who have complicated medical histories or are geriatric pets. Ordinarily, these patients are deemed poor anesthetic candidates and are unable to have a procedure. However, here at VDS, we regularly help.”

Biography

Board-certified in veterinary anesthesia and analgesia, Dr. Caniglia’s goal is to provide a pain-free and safe anesthetic experience for all types of patients and procedures.

Dr. Caniglia completed her veterinary degree and a three-year residency in Anesthesia and Analgesia at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.

Board-certified in veterinary anesthesia and analgesia

Biography

Dr. Stephanie “Bryce” Dooley has lived in six different states and two different countries but calls the Jersey Shore home. After growing up with a love of horses, she earned her veterinary degree from St. George’s University School Of Veterinary Medicine with the intent of becoming an equine veterinarian.
