What happens if I don't renew my Veterinary Facility License on time?

If you don't renew your license on time, your facility may face penalties or be required to cease operations until compliance is restored. It's essential to track your renewal dates carefully.

Do I need a separate license for each veterinarian I employ?

No, veterinarians need to be individually licensed by the state, but the facility itself must hold the New Jersey Veterinary Facility License.

Can I operate my veterinary facility while my application is being processed?

No, you must have an approved New Jersey Veterinary Facility License before commencing operations. Operating without it can lead to legal consequences.

Is a facility inspection required for both initial licensing and renewal?
