“I had a great experience with Southgate Vet. This is my first winter living seasonally in FL with my dog and when she needed a sick visit, I called a couple of different offices. Lorrie was very pleasant and helpful to get me connected and schedule a next day appointment. Jorge was very thorough taking my dog’s medical history and clearly communicated next steps. My dog was seen by Dr. Casey, who has wonderful energy and clearly stated options and the treatment plan. Happy to be connected to a great office!”
“Was very impressed at the time spent talking and getting to know Dr. Christina, and her staff. It’s obvious they love their jobs, and all the fur babies in their care. So glad we switched vets. Looking forward to a long relationship with this clinic. ?”
“Truly a wonderful animal hospital: transparent, caring, and polite! They helped with my daughter’s young cat who had just given birth to kittens a few days ago. I rushed in holding the mother cat as she was giving birth, with the first kitten literally landing in my hand. The staff quickly took her, placed her in a safe cage with bedding, and reassured me: “She’s doing great, just take her back home, and if there are any complications, come back.” They didn’t charge me for the visit and even let us keep the cage with bedding. Such kindness and compassion mean so much, thank you!”
“They are great. From the staff to the doctors. Doctors are knowledgeable and take a lot of time answering questions abd being very thorough. They dont push tests your pet doesn't need like some clinics that just want to make more bucks. I would highly recommend this clinic for your fur babies.”
“Dr. B and the entire team are truly amazing. Their compassion, kindness, and care for our sweet Cosette meant so much. We will always be grateful for the comfort and care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Definitely a Vet office you want to take your fur babies too!”
“Dr Kirsch and the entire staff are phenomenal. Our 5 yr old black lab has been struggling with a lame rear leg. MRI, x-rays showed no issues but a nodule in his hip. Diagnosis was not comprehensive as no seen issue that pin pointed his lamness. We took the nodele out, Dr Kirsch did all he could, carring, very, very thurough and went the extra mile for us. Thor is still recovering and working through rehab. 100% confidence in Dr Kirsch and staff.”
“Dr Marano and staff are wonderful. They truly care for all animals is by far the best we have ever encountered. I highly recommend them as a #1 veterinarian service. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful care you give to all who enter your doors!”
“Compassionate care for your pet.
They look for many ways to deal with any situation without gouging your wallet, which is so refreshing compared to many other veterinary facilities in the area.
I appreciate this office and the professional veterinary Dr's who practice here.”
“We have been a client of Dr. Maus ever since we moved to Nokomis three years ago. Dr. Maus is a very compassionate person who takes a personal interest in your pet. Recently we had to make the difficult decision to put our dog Misty down after 15 years. The staff were excellent and very caring. Thank you Dr. Maus for your great work. If and when we get another pet Ark Animal Hospital will be our go to for vet service.”
“Everyone is always so sweet and interactive with the animals. Always accommodating and very professional. They make the animals and their caretakers very comfortable. Ive trusted them for many years and quite a few pets!! ??”
“Doc Kelley, Holly, Morgan & entire Staff have been Dedicated, Caring, & Wonderful to my 4lb Yorkie Juliette.
When you visit a Vet & he talks with your pet then explains in easy to understand terminology you have met the best. Give them a call you will never regret it!”
“Can’t say enough great things about this Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Molly and her team are wonderful and very knowledgeable and thorough in their practice. We recently had an emergency situation with our dog and they immediately got us in and were so helpful.
Very thankful for the staff at Venice Pines would most definitely recommend them as your primary veterinary.”
“This is a great place. Definitely go here if you need fair prices for pet vaccines, heartworm, and spay or neutering! P.s. bring a donation if you can, they accept and distribute anything you might be able to give new or used for pets”
“Teddy’s first puppy visit and it so well. The staff were so sweet. The facility is clean and welcoming. And Dr Weber did and said all the right things. Looking forward to a long relationship.”
“These guys and especially Dr. Rosenberry are Godsend...! They have been so helpful in helping to keep my emotional support dog Daisy going through some very difficult times!! Daisy and I can't thank them enough for everything they do!!!”
“Everyone at Animal Medical Clinic of Gulf Gate are wonderful!. Professional, caring and dedicated to treating our little Henri like family. I have been bringing my pets here for over twenty years plus they are the best!. Highly recommend!
Jamie Barron”
“They've taken care of all our furbabies and treat them like their own. Eventhough we don't live in Venice, I make the drive from North Port. We love it here!”
“This is hands down the most kind and caring veterinary clinic I have ever been to. The Dr explained in great depth the details of our concern and followed up with helpful information. Both of the women that worked behind the desk were extremely personable and they made what would have been a hard visit a much more enjoyable one with their friendly nature and their caring understanding.
We will definitely be back for any of our furry and scaly families needs!”
“I only had 2 visits to the clinic which were required for the Storm study. All of the interactions with the staff, both in person and over the phone were excellent. If I lived closer, I would use Brandt for all of my pets.”
“Dr. Bruce was super compassionate and understanding issues bothering our little Maltese, problem diagnosed, RX prescribed, were done and out quickly and conveniently !”
“I’m so thankful to have had a great experience with getting my two cats established with this clinic. I greatly appreciated being able to get my (anxious) cats directly into a room. All staff were very kind and thorough. You can tell the staff are passionate about what they do.”
“Yesterday was one of the hardest days of our lives — we had to say goodbye to our beloved Yoshi, who had been with us for 16 wonderful years. I had made an appointment at Banfield Pet Hospital, where we had been loyal clients for all those years. But the night before, Yoshi was in so much pain that none of us could sleep. His cries were unlike anything we had ever heard from him — heartbreaking, gut-wrenching sounds that tore us apart. When I called Banfield that morning, they could hear him crying in the background, yet still told me they could not see him any earlier than his scheduled appointment at 2:30 p.m.
We couldn’t let him suffer any longer. In desperation, I called Palmer Ranch Animal Clinic, where I had taken Yoshi once before. Even though they were so busy, they immediately told us to bring him in so he wouldn’t have to endure any more pain. That alone was a blessing we will never forget.
From the moment we arrived, every single person treated us with the deepest compassion, empathy, and respect. They gave us time, space, and comfort through the most devastating goodbye, and they never once made us feel rushed. Their kindness, their gentle way of guiding us, and, yes, their generosity in not charging us for the euthanasia — all of it together left us beyond words. They showed us that they truly care not only for animals, but also for the families who love them.
After Yoshi passed, I called Banfield to cancel his wellness plan. To our shock, they told us he still had four months left in the plan and that, “out of courtesy,” they would only continue charging us until October. At that moment, the difference between these two places could not have been clearer: one saw us as a number, the other treated us like family.
From yesterday forward, Palmer Ranch Animal Clinic has gained two loyal customers, because we still have another dog, Jazz, who deserves the same kind of care and compassion. To anyone reading this review: this is the only place you should take your animals. They are completely and utterly out of this world — kind, loving, and truly dedicated to both pets and their families.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.”
“All staff are very kind and caring and understanding with my anxious pup. They are able to give estimates for services and medications. We were able to get appointments very quickly and didn't have to wait in the waiting room for long periods.”
“Finding the right vet for our babies is so important. I have been coming here for years and Dr. Smith is our favorite veterinarian. She is very experienced and doesn’t over sell anything. Sydney has great bedside manors, and the front desk staff is very consistent with appointment reminders and calling to check on everyone after their visit. They are reasonable priced and I highly recommend to anyone who has cats.”
“I can't believe how wonderful this office is. They really care about my dogs, and it shows through their actions. My previous vet refused to examine my male dog because of his temperament (Chihuahua). This office worked with him to make him comfortable before they examined him. They were able to do everything needed in just one visit!”
“Love this place. Everyone in the office is nice and caring. It’s very clean. They make you feel very welcome. Dr. Park is extremely competent and knowledgeable. Everything they do to your pet is explained.”
“We have been bringing our Shih Tzu to Animal Health Center for the past four years since moving from Chicago, and we could not have asked for better care. Our 15-year-old pup was always in great hands with the doctors and team here. Dr. Morgan and Dr. David Watkins are absolutely wonderful—knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely compassionate.
Last month, we faced the heartbreaking decision to put our dog down. The entire process was incredibly difficult, but the kindness and support we received from the staff made a world of difference. They showed us so much empathy and walked us through everything with care and respect. What truly touched us was receiving flowers afterward—a gesture that meant so much, especially knowing they were losing a patient, not just a client.
We are so grateful for the amazing care, compassion, and professionalism shown over the years. Animal Health Center is truly exceptional, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinary team that treats your pets like family.”
“Is absolutely wonderful place to take your pet from the time you go through the front door till the time you leave you feel like you’ve been taking care of in your bed has been number one thank you Jackie Bryant, Gracie’s mom”
“I’ve been bringing my pets to Ashton Animal Clinic for boarding for almost 20 years. Every time I drop off my dog I feel confident that he is going to be safe and well cared for. Ashton is trustworthy and the staff are wonderful. Sam and Brooke at the front desk are the nicest!”
“I just had a wonderful experience here with my two labs that both had ear infections. I feel my dogs were treated with exceptional care, in a very timely manner and at a fair price. The facility is small and outdated but I feel that is part of the charm of the personalized service you will receive. I would certainly recommend.”
