Secaucus Animal Hospital was founded in the late 1930s by Dr. Morris Ziskind. Dr. Ziskind graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1934 and moved to Secaucus to work with food animals and meat inspection. He later opened the first small animal hospital of its kind in the region on 1190 Paterson Plank Road. The practice moved to 1250 Paterson Plank Road, the current location, in the early 1940s. Dr. Ziskind's biography can be found at
