Yesterday on my way home I witnessed a cat getting hit by a car. I pulled over and picked up the cat and put it in my backseat. I googled places to call to bring the cat ( still alive). The first place I called was VCA because I was 2 mins away. I was right there at VCA! I called at 6:30pm telling them of the situation and to see if I can bring the cat in. The lady that answered the phone said we are closing in 10/15 mins so we can’t take it, there’s nothing we can do and gave me the number for BluePearl. It was a 15 minute ride for me due to location and traffic. The cat ended up passing away in my car.I’m not saying the cat would have survived if I took it to VCA, but it’s the principle of the situation. I was right next to VCA and they could have taken the cat and tried to see if they could have done something. I am not a cat person, I’m actually highly allergic to cats but I was willing to help out this cat who didn’t look like a stray but came from a home and VCA was heartless over the situation and turned me away due to closing in 30 mins.

One of the worst vet experiences ever. If you care about your animal and care about their life and longevity. Take your dog elsewhere. This place is not the place! Pretty rude too!

Dr did not help my cat that was sick but the office staff and assistants were sweet and very professional.

By worst the most unprofessional animal hospital, please don’t go there Dr. Daniel Gutierrez is the worst him and his medical assistant with all the tattoos on her face. She is not the one to have at a veterinarian hospital when you don’t have not type of knowledge what so ever. Don’t recommend.

I just had my first visit at VCA, and Dr. Powell, and HIS ENTIRE STAFF, were by far the friendliest, patient, and most caring office. I cannot say enough good things about this office. Dr. Powell was so knowledgeable, and explained everything in a way that I could understand. My temperamental dogs were so at ease there! So happy I found them, they took such good care of my babies

Jennifer at VCA has been a true source of comfort throughout this whole journey. I genuinely believe that things happen for a reason, and Jennifer's heartfelt dedication to animals is truly remarkable. I was pleasantly surprised when Jennifer recommended Dr. Bibevski, an orthopedic specialist in small animal care, who was available right away for the necessary surgery. It all fell into place, and I felt both relieved and confident knowing that my little one would receive the care she needed at VCA.My situation was with my chihuahua that fractured two of her bones… leaving me with the most traumatic event of my life so far this year. I genuinely believe that sharing my experience can offer solace to others who might be dealing with similar emotions.I am a discerning individual who approaches everything and everyone with a cautious mindset, especially when it pertains to the well-being and safety of my loved ones. With complete sincerity, I must express that Jennifer, Dr. Bibevski, and the entire team at VCA have significantly elevated my perception of veterinary practices, earning my utmost admiration and respect.I would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Kese for taking the time to explain and patiently answer my questions on the day of the surgery. Their willingness to provide thorough information and address my concerns was truly appreciated.I wholeheartedly recommend visiting the Imperial Point location to anyone in need of veterinary care. The dedicated staff there go above and beyond to ensure that necessary measures are taken and that pets receive exceptional care.

I'm dealing with my Dolly's doggy diabetes "Dollybetes" for the first time and I wasn't over charged or under informed at all! Thanks Dr Peterson and staff.

We have three dogs and have been going to Fort Lauderdale VCA on Commercial for several years. The only reason we have tolerated their outrages Corporate charges is because we love the care provided by Dr. Darby Peterson. We have dropped several thousand in this place over the last several years. The last 6 months has become unbearable. New puppy visits, shots and spaying has reached over $ 2,000. My older 12 year old annual visit, teeth cleaning and teeth extractions added another approximately $1500. 16 year old's annual $384. Then add in the flea meds and heart worm. In February, the office visit was $72 and today it was $96!!!!!!! VCA's profits and revenue continues to grow at almost 18% a year. I'm convinced its just another example of CEO and Corporate greed. We will miss the staff and Dr Peterson. ENOUGH!!!!!

I’ve had to take my dog to VCA imperial (as recommended by the humane society) several times for minor, to semi serious issues. The staff, and the doctors are always polite, helpful, and comforting. They truly do treat you and your pet like family. Thank you VCA imperial.

Very thankful for Dr Powell. We unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to have our cat cross the rainbow bridge after being with us for over 19 years. To say it was a stressful day is an understatement. Dr Powell and staff were great through the process. He was so caring and walked us through the process allowing us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. He is very compassionate and you can tell he has a love for animals. Thank you Dr Powell and VCA for making a terrible day less stressful.

I recently switched vets cause I couldn't leave here without paying over $500 and I didn't like that I couldn't be with my pet when exams are happening. The place I go to now, allows me to be there while my dog and cat are getting shots, etc. also I can hear the employees talking shit about me and my cat through the door when they take him to the back room. For example once I brought him in for a cut that opened back up after a month and they were talking shit in the back "a month? And she just brought him in now?" ... it had opened back up and was previously fine! Just not going back after that experience. South federal is so much better

I have gotten my cavapoo groomed several times at multiple different *hot spots* in fort lauderdale. All other locations have either done a horrible job OR did a great job but traumatized my baby !!!! I saw Sunday (groomer at VCA) while taking my dogs for a vet appt with Dr Kesche - THE BEST VET EVER BTW, SO SWEET & SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. I explained to her my experiences at other groomers & she assured confidence in me…. Just picked up my puppies & they have the best grooming they’ve ever had. One of my pups had some matting & she was able to get it all out without shaving him !!! They look AWESOME !!!!!! I could not be happier with their grooming.
