My 2 year old charly had a good visit. They made it easy for him. Anna was great, made him feel comfortable. He got his shots and was a good boy. If your new to the area. Please go here with ur pet/s.

Super kind and quick to my puppers since moving to the area. My mini schnauzer had an accident the week prior and had a drainage tube placed right before our move where we lived prior (go figure) but most of the staff and doctor handled it quickly and so kindly. They didn’t seem to try and oversell or charge us on anything unnecessary which is a bonus. It’s a bit hard to find on G-Maps as it takes you to a house behind towards a dead end which caused us to be very late so hoping that gets fixed soon but other than that my boys are happy and healthy which makes this dog mom happy :)

I’ve really waited to place this review because I wanted to push through. I’m really done with this Vet. I’ve been going here for years. Vets have changed and they are not kind at all. Somehow every time I visit I leave feeling like a failure with my dogs. The vet’s that work here do a good job of making you feel small and uneducated. Instead of providing encouragement, feedback and guidance, they actually speak to you like they are the owner of your own dog. If you don’t spend that astronomical invoice they put together for you then you’re treated as if you shouldn’t even own your dog. I thought this was just me but my family also brings their dogs here and when I told them how I felt they absolutely agreed that they experienced the same thing. They are going somewhere else too. I’ll take my money and my dogs elsewhere.

New to the area and made an appointment to have our 9 year old Portuguese Water Dog seen for a small fatty mass on his side. They were able to take him in the next day. The front desk team was very nice. The vet tech dis the check in and explained that he may need a lot of tests. I explained that we have had a similar situation and I’d prefer to have him seen before adding services. They said he had to be seen in the back, not in the exam room we were in and that I could not go with him. I asked why and said I was not comfortable. She said that’s how they do it. My usually happy, friendly, timid Portie was hiding behind me, shaking. That’s never happened even at new places. The experience was already uncomfortable. The tech left and came back with another tech. They asked me to help hold our guy so they could draw blood. She took a catsup sized bottle of alcohol with a tube on it and sprayed his whole leg with it. She then began poking him repeatedly and “could not find” his veins. She was moving the. Weekend around in his leg and he was clearly in pain. No luck and she had the other tech try. Same thing. Alcohol bath and repeated jabbing, gripping and twisting his leg and pulling the skin around while digging for veins. They said “this happens sometimes” but in all of the decades of vet visits this has never happened. At that point I told them I’m not comfortable with his care and we were going to go back to our usual vet in Vero. The staffing crisis is real but when you are dealing with the wellness of a loved one, never compromise. I see why they have next day appointments when everyone else is booked out for weeks.
