The vet was able to take casper within a couple of hours to be put down after I called. They knew this was coming because he had cancer. He was very relaxed in the dog bed that I carried him in with (12 pound maltese). Not acting fidgety or active at all. He was slowing down also at home which is how I knew something was wrong (barely moving at all). The first vet came in and asked if he could give casper shot to make him sleepy and I said yes. He said he would be very sleepy within 5 min and he would return for the final euthanasia shot. I said ok. Tears were streaming down my face the entire time. He came back with another male vet who asked me, "How are you doing?" I just looked him. What a rotten completely thoughtless question to ask in that exact moment. Please stop doing that to people. Casper started acting more and more ANXIOUS (which is NOT like him at all). I could see it CLEARLY in his eyes. He kept looking frantically around the room. He kept acting like he was TRYING to move because uncomfortable like about the vomit or something. I just knew something was WRONG! I have had gone through this experience before, a total of 3 dogs over the years, so I knew exactly what to expect and this was NOT it. Casper was my angel. He did not have a mean bone in his body. He did not deserve his last moments to be like this due to vets just not caring enough. This is basic knowledge because other vets use Propofol to sedate the dog and this place used Telazol (well, I am assuming because I have asked them to tell me what they used but no answer, this is the result I found online after my research which if I had done sooner I could have asked what they use to make sure it is Propofol). This is a COMMON REACTION of Telazol especially with cats who get it the most because people need a relaxed cat as much as possible. The Propofol does NOT cause these effects and I know this because it did NOT happen at all with the other dogs I have put down. How many people have no idea this is happening to their pets in their last moments on earth because they are not able to be there as a witness of it? The vets should know. They just do not care enough. I still have another maltese but I will NOT be taking her back there.

We have been coming the Dunnellon Animal for about a year now. We have found the staff to be very caring for the animals they are taking care of. We have four cats and a dog at home and all of them have received wonderful attention here. Animal owners are very careful and do not let just anyone treat their beloved furred/feathered/scaled friends. We're glad to have found this wonderful establishment for ours.

Being new to the area, we didn't have a local vet. I called several and no one was accepting new clients. I called Dunnellon Animal Hospital and they got me in within a couple of hours. My little Kirby was breathing hard, and needed to be seen. Upon arrival the techs were great and started care immediately. I knew he was in distress and it was going to be a hard thing to do. They wasted no time putting us in a private room and putting our poor baby to sleep. The whole staff was compassionate and beyond helpful. I have two more fur kids at home and will definitely be bringing them here. Thank you so much Dunnellon Animal Hospital for your compassion and care. Your professionalism speaks for itself!

Turned away a dying cat from an existing client. I called in early Tuesday afternoon, desperate to have my cat cared for as she was dying. Was told they could see her next week. Will NEVER return, nor will I recommend this vet to anyone. Ended up at Countyside Animal Hospital in Beverly Hills. Excellent service providers. Well worth the drive.

Have always had good experiences with them until I had my dog spayed while she was in heat, which they knew from the time I called for an estimate and after the surgery the bill was over $100 more. They NEVER told me there was an extra charge for her being in heat. I thought because I told them that it was already in the cost. Super struggling financially and would have put off the surgery if I would've known. Very disappointed. Going to find a new vet for my 5 dogs...

Dr. Morgan is the best. Very knowledgeable and caring for my fur baby. He has treated my previous dog who absolutely adored him and was never frightened. My new dog who is extremely spooky and afraid of everything responds very well to him and is not afraid of him at all. As a matter of fact she'll lay down on the floor and let him do whatever he has to do to her. Also their office is very covid-19 safe because you register outside and they give you a beeper so you can stay in your car and when your time is up you go directly to an examining room. No people are inside waiting in the waiting room. Masks are required or you don't go in.

By far the best. I wouldn't dream of taking my four rescue dogs anywhere else. Our pets have had a variety of different health issues. I am always confident that we will get answers and the correct treatment to help them feel better and live their best life. I love how Dr. Moorman is so down to earth and I am always confident in his answers to my question, "If this were your dog what would you do?" Today we saw Dr. Lauren, whose last name I can't pronounce, and she was wonderful with our service dog Baby. She has to have special medications prior to her shots because she had a reaction to her first adult shots. I didn't have to say anything. They were on top of it. We recently referred our friends there who have 3 dogs. Two itty bitty Yorkie girl puppies and an older Labrador Retriever. They had been to several veterinarians over the years and just were not happy. Mike went in to make the first appointment for the puppies and told us that he felt better, like they were in a better place already, when just making the appointment. After the first visit for their puppies he and his wife feel like my husband and I do. Total confidence. Today I mentioned that we had referred them and mentioned their names and the front desk staff remembered the dog's names and the names of our friends. It was so sweet! They have spayed all of our girls and one of our dogs gets occasional lumps where some of them, one close to her eye, have had to be surgically removed. Although it can be scary we have complete confidence in them. So glad we found them when we moved here almost 14 years ago. We tried two others first and we are staying with this group!!!!

Unable to diagnose. Was referred to Blue Pearl in Tampa on two occasions for a diagnoses four years apart with two different cats. In both cases, Blue Pearl told me that they were 99% sure that it was heart failure, and that they needed to do an echo cardiogram to be sure. Well, at the end of the day, and thousands of dollars later, they were wrong, Thank God, and in both cases, I left there being told that they didn't know what the problem was either, and a handful of pills to "Try" and let them know what happens. The staff at Dunnellon Animal Hospital is friendly, and it's probably a convenient place to get food, if you're in the area, and don't mind paying a bit more. When I went for the last time, the vet that sent me to Blue Pearl twice asked in a tone of shock and insensitivity " Is that cat still alive?" Yes, no thanks to you people ! Sorry, I think killing deer for recreation in your spare time, is a conflict of interest, and speaks volumes about who's caring for your pet.

The Dunnellon Animal Hospital provides truly excellent care for your pet. We have had two dogs and two cats under their care for over five years now, and they have all received wonderful care from the entire staff. From front desk to veterinarian, the staff has always been cheerful, helpful and sympathetic. They even notify you by mail when your pets' checkups and license renewals are due. You can walk in and get care for your pet at any time during regular business hours. I wish to particularly commend Dr. Paul Witte, His diagnoses and prescriptions have always been right on, and when it became necessary to put two of our beloved pets down, His sympathy and sensitivity made that much easier. He is also a swell guy with a sense of humor, I highly recommend DAH to anyone needing pet care.

we have been bringing our cats here for many years. Always happy with the friendly caring staff & the clean facility. We vacation with peace of mind, knowing that our kitty will be safe & sound boarded there while we travel.
