Loving Care Animal Hospital

Fargo loves his vet and the staff there too. They are so friendly and listen to your concerns. The vet is great, gives informative information and very nice. I trust them to take very good care of my boy! And when your dog likes them too.. you know you’ve got your forever vet care!

Loving Care Hospital in Largo FL is so nice. My dog needed to be seen. They said fine. The minute I walked in I was greeted. They put me and my dog in a room. Immediately a tech came in to take information. She then gave it to the Dr. Dr. Richard's came in smiling. My initial thought was kindness walking thru the door. He checked out Brinkley completely. He made sure he was out of pain. I cannot say enough goods things about this Vets office. I'm so happy I selected to go there. Thank you.

Took my dog in last Wednesday as I was new to the area. She was in pretty bad shape and was diagnosed with an auto immune disease and given steroids on Friday. By Tuesday I had called back and spoke with the Dr letting him know she was still losing weight, not eating and doing worse. He told me we're not working miracles here and that she needed 7-11 days for them to work. I took his word for it and gave the drugs one more day. Called Wednesday evening, no answer. Called 3 times Thursday before noon and no answer. I took her to another vet where her levels had dropped below 10%, they were 18% when tested the previous Wednesday. She needed an emergency transfusion and there was no blood in the area including tampa or pasco areas. Thank goodness I have another dog who could donate and I did not wait until my follow up appointment with these guys on Saturday because she more than likely wouldn't have made it. The emergency services cost almost $4,000 and when I asked for a partial refund on the $1,000 I spent at this office I was told absolutely not! Figured as much but thought it was worth the ask considering the mistreatment and lack of care.

Will never take my dog back here. I took my puppy here to get spayed and brought him back a couple months later for his annual shots. He was absolutely fine with the girl techs and when the male vet walked in he started growling and snarling at him. We have never seen this behavior from him and he’s around males daily.We didn’t think much of it and brought him back on a sedative. Same thing, girl vets came in he was fine and as soon as the vet came in he was barking and being defensive again. I’m not sure what they did with him but he remembers something about him he does not like. He has never acted like this anywhere else and he’s gotten shots at 2 other places.

This veterinarian killed my boxer. He was treating my boxer for three months with all kinds of signs showing that she had cancer. After telling me to keep her on steroids for another two months after being on them for one month previous I finally said no, and took my dog to specialist. Which within a week and a half diagnosed her with intestinal melanoma. They could not believe that my previous veterinarian had not seen and diagnosed with all the signs that my dog had. She died three weeks later. I would never ever take any animal to this vet.
