So sad to hear about Dr shewmaker passing. He was our regular vet, we will miss him. Does anyone know if this place will close permanently or if there will be a new vet available at this location. I want to know before I start looking for another vet.

Went to pick up some heartworm medicine for my doggie and there's a note on the door stating that they are closed. Not sure for how long but I hope that they re-open soon. I really like this veterinarian.

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience here. I called and asked if they treated Rabbits, was told yes. When I arrived it was very clear that I knew more about rabbits than Dr Shewmaker. I dont like being lied to. This is not an option for a vet under any circumstances. For small animals and rabbits please call Viscaya-Prado animal hospital in Cape Coral. They saved my rabbits life. Dr Milton specializes in rabbits.

Horrible. Gave them a chance given the horrible reviews but now I see why. Incomplete surgery twice and now I have to take my cat somewhere else and pay more money to have it done the correct way. BEWARE.

Took my baby there, I was desperate and she was hurting after a pitbull attacked her. He stitched her up, kept her all day, and told me a time to pick her and the antibiotics up. The cleaning person was who gave me the antibiotics which had some scribble on it and I was able to make it out. He never called me the whole day, never suggested anything else. Her wound never healed properly and opened back up. I took her to another vet who could not believe what the other vet had done and the poor service we had received. My chihuahua had her femur fractured and was almost septic. He never once did or suggested imaging or anything, just took my money, didn't care how hard it was to get, and patched her up. This place should be avoided at all costs if you truly want your animals to be ok. Now I have to come up with over 3k, that's not including the money I lost going here first.

Dr Shewmaker & his staff are very accommodating. I had just been released from rehab for a broken knee & I had to take my little 10 yr old MinPin wannabe Riki in for vaccs & labored shallow breathing. The receptionist came to my vehicle & took the little guy inside as I was unable to walk without assistance. Then Dr Shewmaker came out and told me what he had done & showed me an x-ray of my baby's enlarged heart, went & got meds for me to give him & the receptionist brought him back to me. Unfortunately my baby boy passed away that night. Thank you for your help & patience.I also appreciate that Dr Shewmaker makes house calls for small pets. I just wish that he worked with birds as well, even just a wing & nail clipping. Have to go to Ft. Myers for that.

My babies were cleared and given their health certificates. Happy for that...3 down, 3 more to go. Dr Shewmaker has taken care of all of my dogs for the past 2 years. Very reasonable, open on Saturday and works you into the schedule most times the day of. Staff is pleasant and ready to assist for those of you that can't watch your fur baby get a shot... Thank you guys so much!!!

I've taken my dog in a few times when I can't get into her regular vet in Ave Maria (they are also great but not always available). If it weren't for their amazing Saturday walk-in availability, I would've had to wait a whole week to bring her in to her usual vet that is much closer for me.I've had a great experience each time and they have taken great care of my dog. Both Dr. Shewmaker and his son, Dr. JL Shewmaker, are knowledgeable and provide excellent care for my girl. The vet tech's are compassionate and helpful in calming my dogs anxiety while at the vet.The facility isn't modern or updated, but if you can look past that I would definitely recommend. Despite the appearance, each time I've been in I have seen the staff disinfect the surfaces each time before bringing my dog in. The treatment has always been reasonably priced, they have an accommodating schedule, and they provide much needed services to the rural community.

This is a very effective place when dealing with our pets. They will tell you the things that are truly needed and won't try to over sell you on unnecessary products or procedures. The vet has a ton of experience, and has been in the business forever. I really appreciate them accepting my pets emergency when other (more favored) clinics rejected him.

This place is cruel all they want is money they will try to leach and get money off of you. They just try to keep making you come back to keep charging you. I brought my dog here because he had a tumor that weighed 7 pounds and it was not found in this hospital in fact this hospital said it was a bruise and that all he needed were some pills and wanted to give shots where the tumor was which could’ve killed my dog and made the tumor explode. It was actually found by a second opinion and all this hospital wanted to do was lie and charge me to give my dog pills. Luckily I went to one of the most honest, humble, and respectful doctors I’ve ever met Dr. Emilio from Mueller Animal Hospital in Hialeah, Florida. They saved my dogs life and if anyone wants someone who truly cares go there. My dog could’ve died and this cruel hospital could care less. If Shewmaker hospital is reading this I hope you guys can change your ways because this was a truly horrifying experience.

My lhasa apso was not eating or drinking and shaking constantly. The Dr figured out he had a dislocated knee in about 90 seconds and instantly fixed the issue. I'll come back for all critter needs.
