Dr. Kurt Blaicher
About a year and a half ago, Dr.
Kurt Blaicher, a 30 year veteran of
the New Jersey veterinary communi-
ty, decided he’d like to practice in the
Bedminster/Basking Ridge area. Over
the years, he had conferred on
numerous canine reproductive cases
with Dr. Van Zimmerman, the iconic
owner of Bedminster Animal Hospi-
tal. Knowing Van was a bit older
than himself, Blaicher cold-called
him, and bluntly asked, “Van, any
chance you’re thinking of selling
your practice in the near future?”
Apparently, the planets were aligned
that day, and Dr. Zimmerman
answered affirmatively. As of January
1, 2013,
Bedminster Animal Hospital
will become
Blaicher Veterinary
Health Care,
and the two doctors
will work together until Dr. Zimmer-
man retires to his horse farm in Penn-
sylvania later in 2013. Although ren-
ovation of the hospital’s interior will
begin in the spring of 2013, Dr.
Blaicher will maintain Dr. Zimmer-
man’s style of pet AND client-centric
practice, as both doctors are equally
committed to the “creatures” at
both ends of the leash, so to speak.
Their clients and patients can look
forward to not one, but two lifetimes
devoted to healing pets, and helping
their owners, under one roof at 330
Main Street, in Bedminster.
Dr. Kurt Blaicher grew up in Mor-
ris Plains, New Jersey, and attended
the University of Pennsylvania (’77),
earning a degree in Biology, engi-
neering and entertaining Sunday
overnights on WXPN-FM, and also
starting at left offensive tackle for
the varsity football program (GO
QUAKERS!). He graduated first in his
class from the University of Ten-
nessee College of Veterinary Medi-
cine (GO VOLS!) in 1982, and has
worked in New Jersey since gradua-
tion. Dr. Blaicher and his wife, Susan,
owned a successful practice in Plain-
field from 1987-2007, and then
merged their practice with a larger
local hospital. Missing the smaller
hospital atmosphere, and practice
ownership, they are now energized
and elated to have the opportunity
to open
Blaicher Veterinary Care
in
Bedminster.
Dr. Blaicher is a Diplomat of the
American Board of Veterinary Practi-
tioners, with Board Certification in
canine and feline practice. He is pas-
sionate about all aspects of private
practice, but especially enjoys soft tis-
sue and orthopedic surgery, internal
medicine, and canine reproduction.
When not at the hospital, Dr.
Blaicher relaxes by windsurfing, ski-
ing, cooking, playing guitar, travel-
ling, target/defensive shooting, and
engaging in all aspects of photogra-
phy. He is a member of the Stew-
artsville Presbyterian Church Choir,
and he and Susan are long standing
volunteers with Meals on Wheels in
Warren County. Although their chil-
dren are grown, their house is still
full with 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 cockatiels,
and a Hanoverian horse.
Blaicher Veterinary Health Care
is open 6 days a week, including
evening appointments (until 8pm) on
Mondays and Thursday, and until
1
pm Saturdays. Services will include
all aspects of soft tissue surgery,
many types of orthopedic proce-
dures, digital x-rays, abdominal/
pregnancy ultrasound, echocardio-
gram exams, canine semen freezing
and storage, surgical insemination,
canine and feline dentistry, as well as
wellness and breed-directing health
care. Please visit our website at

check our Facebook page frequently,
or call our office at 908-234-0650, to
give your pet the finest health
and
care available.
