South Beach Animal Hospital

This place used to be amazing, but the last two years it’s gone downhill. They only do drop offs which takes hours and is not personable, I want to be in the room with my pet instead of them being locked in a cage all day. My dog has also now become afraid to go to the vet where he never was like that before. It’s stressful for a dog to be in that environment especially when they aren’t feeling well. The most frustrating part which is now why I’m going to be finding a new vet is my dog broke his toe and they took X-rays, I made an appointment at another vet for second opinion per their suggestion and called immediately for the X-ray to be emailed. When I got to the specialist appointment, I found out they never emailed them and I called right away while I was in the waiting room AT the specialist with my dog. I had to call again to be told they were working on it. Had they done what was previously requested, me, my dog, and the other vet could have had access to care much quicker and efficient.

This place is the most loving place for animal. I have three Persian kitties and the vets here have been their primary care vets since 6 years ago. AMY the office manager is such an animal lover and takes care of my kitties personally, she is always watching them in her office. Every time I take my babies in for check ups or grooms, I can hear the staff baby talking to all the pets that are in there and being boarded. The staff here truly loves animals! I think they offer pet day care services too. Reina and Laura are long term staff members there and they are always so accommodating. I live alone, and when emergencies arise, I am so grateful that I have the team at South Beach Animal hospital to rely on!

I've been a customer here for YEARS, and ever since Banfield took over the place is completely unusable. All the vets that used to work here quit. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have an elderly dog, to make an appointment SUPER EARLY on Banfield's own advice (so she spends as little time in the vet as possible) only to be told the wait will be FOUR HOURS to have her blood drawn. MULTIPLE TIMES this has happened. TMULTIPLE TIMES they made me wake up at 6am to drop my pet off only to tell me the wait is HOURS LONGER than they thought because they overbooked AGAIN. These people aren't even competent enough to schedule an appointment correctly.

What a fabulous experience! I was visiting the area for the weekend and my little dog got sick vomiting and lethargy. I called and got an appointment right away. The staff was so pleasant and the Doctor was very attentive and kind. My little dog can be a bit fearful and feisty. The doctor got on the floor and reassured him! Turns out it was just a stomach virus and he’s doing much better. Eventually we will be moving to the area and I’m happy I found such a nice facility!

I am new to Miami Beach, coming from another state. I took my dog to south beach animal hospital after checking out some reviews for the area's veterinarians, and it was nothing short of wonderful. I am a very fussy pet owner, and think of my pets as my children. Usually when i take my dog in he needs to be muzzled. The vet tech came in and explained everything to me first, and then Dr. Walter came in and looked at my dog. I was amazed at the fact that the two of them were able to get a scope down my dogs ears without being muzzled. He sat there and let them do whatever they needed to do without giving them any trouble. I couldn't believe he was this good on the first visit. My dog absolutely loved both of them. These people clearly love animals, and the animals know it. I was given all the information i needed and more, and would highly recommend this vet to anyone. Great vet care is not cheap, but i didn't find it to be any higher than any of the vets we've visited in the past. If you love your animals take them here. The care is stellar, and the atmosphere is wonderful. You can trust your fur babies are under good care here. LOVE this vet clinic!
