I have used Brandon Equine as my back up vet for years. When my vet doesn't have the equipment for what my horse needs she sends me BE. I have also been asked to bring one of my horses for demonstration use.Early November 2023, one of my horses was showing neurological signs and my vet sent me to BE. They did X-rays and gave a diagnosis of a bone fracture. My vet along with the vet at BE said steroids and antibiotics should fix the problem. At first my horse was getting better but early December he took a turn for the worst. I called my vet out to euthanize him but my vet was out of town and said call BE . The receptionist said I will get a call back. 6 hours later, I called again. The call that I got back , I was told that because my horse is not a wellness program horse they will not send someone out. I panicked. My horse was not able to move very well and he couldn't spend the night in the cold. Finally they did come out, and euthanized him, but did not sedate him and did not wait for me to be by his side. To say the least, I am disappointed. They have always been very good to me, but I was very let down at the care they gave this great horse in the end.

Dr Broom and the two technicians were extremely knowledgeable and kind to us in this stressful situation with my boy Art, unfortunately the outcome was not what we were hoping for. I appreciate all of the kindness and support the staff gave us and the gentleness they treated Art with. I have never been to your facility and hope I never have to come again, but I would highly recommend you all. Again, thank you. Sue

I love Brandon Equine, all the vets there have been amazing. I love Dr. Merren he is always very honest about what needs to be done, and always quick about figuring out treatment plans. Dr. Fowler has done my chiropractic work. She is always very nice and insightful. They are also quick to respond to emergencies. Whichever vet comes out, I always feel my horses are getting the best care.

My horse was brought in to Brandon Equine on Sunday night by the owner of the barn I board at. I was on vacation at the time. The vets and staff quickly went to work on my horse. The vet was very clear on my opinions for my horse. He had a large tumor attached to his intestines and we either needed to do surgery or let him go peacefully. Thankfully the vet made it very clear that either option was a fair option for my horse. Even though we decided to euthanize him humanely they assured me he would be treated with love and respect. Being thousands of miles away was awful but knowing he was loved and cared for made a huge difference to me. They were also kind enough to save a portion of his tail. Thank you Brandon Equine for treating him with love and kindness when I could not.

Brandon Equine is always quick to return calls and texts, and the vets are good about barn calls. Ran into a situation this week where our trainers truck was in the shop and we had a colic case. Dr Fowler turned around from Sarasota to drive back to Riverview on a Sunday evening and evaluate with no complaints or questions asked. We often forget how much of their lives these people sacrifice to make sure our animals are healthy. Dr. Maher and Dr. Restifo are also awesome and are usually the vets who do our farm calls. I feel good knowing our horses are safe under their care.

Dr. Maher has been amazing to work with. He's very thorough and you can tell her really cares to get to the bottom of the problem and find the correct diagnosis and treatment. He's worked with my farrier as well which is very helpful. The staff have been great as well.

Dr. Restifo was very thorough in her exam and her explanations. Her honesty about waiting for my girl to recover from this current episode before performing the minor procedure that my farm vet can do himself was very much appreciated and comforting knowing they aren't just out to make all the money they can. I knew going in it would be more expensive than with my farm vet but I did not feel it was outrageously so. 100% satisfied customer and will happily return whenever there are things outside of our farm vet's abilities.

My horse went in for an enucleation and I was so nervous to have the procedure done but could not be more impressed with Brandon Equine! They were wonderful to work with from the very first phone call all the way until I had my horse safely home and settled. The care they provide for the horses is top notch! The entire team is personable, kind and you can truly see their love and care they have for their patients!

Very good with communication! Love the fact if can't reach on phone will text you.Front office staff very nice and friendly.Vet techs are amazing! They are very understanding , knowledgeable and very helpful plus friendly.Veterinarians - cream of the crop! Love how they are kind, patient, do not rush you and don't mind answering questions. In fact they encourage them. All treatments are explained in detail with options. No pressure on what option to choose. I got to make an informed decision and wasn't left wondering if I made the right choice because of the details given about my horse's eye treatment options.Your go home sheet is the best. Outlines all details including when the next dose of medicines are! Human hospitals don't do that leaving people guessing.Very impressedstephanie collins - calypso mom
