“The staff are friendly and helpful. They are accommodating when we board our pets there. Our pets are treated with kindness and love by the staff and techs. Thank you!”

“We’ve been taking our yorkie named Peekaboo here for 15 years and can’t say enough about the practice and all the employees that work there! It is very evident they truly care about your pet. All of the staff are so pleasant, knowledgeable and ALWAYS go the extra mile for your pet.”

“Super friendly staff. Ashley, Lorrie and Dr. McNamee were very friendly and clearly animal lovers. We’ve been with them for years with our dogs and cat and I’ve never had a negative experience!”

“I've had pets cared for with forest lakes for over 30 years. You feel like family here. Debbie ( the British Lady) has been a pleasure to work with as well as the rest of the team. This visit was for us to help one of our furries cross the rainbow bridge ? They were supportive through out this difficult time. THANK YOU!”

“Yesterday I had to put my beloved dog down. Anyone who has had to do this knows just how tough it is. Dr. Watkins and his staff were super compassionate and empathetic and made the process as smooth as it could be. I'm sure he's done this many times, but you could feel his sadness. We've been going to this father and daughter team for half a dozen years and I would never go anywhere else. They are not pushy, they love animals, their team is amazing, and they know what they are doing. Yesterday afternoon I received flowers. I immediately teared up when I saw who sent them....Dr. Watkins and his team.”

“What an incredible team of people!! I had both of my mini doxies neutered here and the experience was great. The staff is friendly and very loving.Suzanne is a star as are the doctors and all the techs. Thank you!!!”

“I can't believe how much they care about my two dogs! They have saved both from extreme medical issues! Thank you Dr. Marcie for your medical treatment of our two dogs ? ❤️ !”

“Dr Pepper and crew are the best. We trust them with our family ferbaby's life's . What more can we say . We lost our family vet and had 10 Papillions 8 years ago it has taken 6 years and 6 other local veterinarians that we tried with less than unsatisfactory results, leading to a few near desastor for our beloved fer family and we had become concerned that we would not be able to provide them with the BEST medical services possible in their senior years. One of our 11 male papillon caught a very dangerous and aggressive flesh eating bacteria that was quickly overtaking him . Hell, Marry, desperate call to Dr Peppers and his staff of angels after trying 2 other vets all the time he just getting worse and this was quickly overtaking him . This was it all or nothing for him, starting to think about the hard choice that may have to be made.( HAPPY ENDING ) DR PEPPER was able to identify what this was and with very limited treatment options med wise that would not hurt him but aggressive enough to kill the bacteria . Dr. Pepper called us to check on Brutus the next day on a Saturday. From that moment moving forward, i knew we had finally found our guy, and our babies are in good hands . One less thing to worry about. Brutus made a full recovery was a long road, but Dr Pepper got us home. P S Wanted to say thanks for seeing Tinkerbel and I Tuesday. She's feeling better and wants to say thanks, but no thanks , don't take that the wrong way it's a dog thang?”

“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.”

“Bay Road Animal Hospital is a great veterinary hospital. The staff and doctors are friendly, efficient, and very professional. My 11 year old English Golden Retriever is always well cared for. I highly recommend Bay Road Animal Hospital.”

“Dr Paxson and her wonderful staff took care of my 2 beautiful dogs for the past 11 years through many allergy issues, Cushings disease, ear infections, skin issues, arthritis, spondylosis, etc. Treatment for large dogs can be expensive. Dr Paxson always presented us with options for care at different price levels and explained the effectiveness. 3 years ago, the day came to put my mastiff mix down. She was 185 pounds. Dr Paxson knew we couldn’t move her. She was gracious enough to drive to our condo in Bradenton and help our Zeda cross the rainbow bridge peacefully. She called a pet ambulance for pick up afterwards since it is near impossible to move a dog of that weight. Five star ⭐️ care and kindness. Last week it was time for our second dog. Dr Paxson had been talking us through the last 6 months as to when is the right time to make that decision as it’s so tough to acknowledge when it’s your beloved dog. Dr Paxson will take phone calls and make phone calls to follow up after office visits. I can’t say enough about the kindness, care and expertise of this Vet office and its staff. If you need a caring, wonderful veterinarian- don’t hesitate to make an appointment with Dr Paxson!”

“Best vet I have ever been to and I have had dogs my whole Life. Dr Huber is the best!! I have seen Dr Brody a few times and have no complaints but I always ask for Dr. Huber because he is why we went there from the beginning and one of our boys has a medical condition the Dr Huber is familiar with. I do think he is no longer taking new patients (last I heard) but I think Dr Brody is great too.. The staff is great and knowledgeable also.”

“We started taking our dog(Mong) to Dr. Huber about 5 years ago when he started having back spasms related to disc issues. Dr. Huber quickly diagnosed that it could be a slipped disc, medicated him, administered a steroid shot to get him by without invsaive surgical measure since it was his first flare up.A few years went by, my dog did okay for the most part, needed steroid shots here and there when the back problem flared up. When half of his body was paralyzed, he finally had to get a back a surgery to be able to walk again.fast forward a few years, geriatric problems hit him, it was time for us to consider putting him down despite him fighting through the disc issues relatively well. Went to see Dr. Huber for a quality of life consult. He didn't rush us to make decision to keep him or put him down. He gave us his honest thoughts on his quality of life. A week later, we ended up deciding that his quality of life is not very good, we decided to euthanize him.It was our first time euthanizing a dog (or any animal for that matter), it was a very comforting experience. Dr. Huber has such a demeanor that he puts everyone at ease. It could be because he's been doing this for a very long time.Although i will not be returning to his office in the forseeable future, as I do not have another furry animal, I want to say I truly appreciate his professionalism and compassion that he showed.Also, I did not get to learn each individual staff's names, everyone at the office was compassionate, warm and welcoming every time we went to visit. What a wonderful office! Will recommend to anyone looking for an experienced veterinarian.”

“I have been going here for a few years mostly for nail trims and checkups. Last fall I had a serious health emergency with my cat. The great staff was able to accommodate me during a stressful time and fit me in four times in the course of two weeks. They pretty much saved my cats life. I want to thank everyone at Palmer Ranch Animal Clinic for their work.”

“Took my cat in for an emergency... when your little buddy is ill, it is ALWAYS an emergency... They were able to get me in almost immediately which was wonderful! Dr. Kurtz and the entire staff were terrific. The entire staff was friendly & professional.If you need a vet in Sarasota this is where you need to go....”

“Excellent service recommended 100%, they treat the pets as if they were their own with love and care from the moment you enter, the very friendly receptionists and the doctor, not to mention kind and attentive, thank you Juan Cavajal for your attention to us... we will return soon, truly grateful to Nina's”

“We just had our first visit to this practice. Everyone that works there is so kind and seems really happy to be there. It's really clean and modern inside. The entire staff seemed super knowledgeable and caring. They really listened to our concerns and addressed all of them. Dr. Duncan was so kind with our senior kitty. Super recommend Clark Road Animal Clinic!”

“I have a gorgeous miniature wire haired dachshund who finds sunbathing by the pool preferable to going to the vets . However, she is put at ease when we see Dr David Smith .. He is an excellent vet and really cares about her health and well being .Very pleased to have such good care given to her every time we visit ,and all the staff are very kind and helpful too.”

“This animal clinic is by far the best I have visited with my dog in the last 12 years of her life! The people are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. They truly do put animals first and that’s extremely reassuring, as I believe they are a little larger than many other vets I’ve been to. I was so amazed when my dogs growth burst and was bleeding on a Friday evening and I called the office to get an appointment, the receptionist answered the phone at 5:29pm, when they close at 5:30. She was very patient and worked with me to get my dog scheduled asap with no irritation that I had called when she likely could have been walking out the door! My dog has seen both Dr Dunn and Dr Smith and both are very warm and you can feel they care about animals and listened to my concerns. There isn’t enough room to compliment the entire staff I’ve interacted with. It’s so rare that every interaction with every member of a team is a warm and pleasant one! Thank you, Clark Road Animal Clinic!”

“We are very happy with Dr. Alimpic. Our elderly dog had extremely rotten teeth and needed all of his teeth removed. After the initial consultation we decided to go with Dr. Alimpic. Dr. Alimpic did an outstanding job. She is very knowledgeable and experienced in veterinary medicine, yet was still compassionate and attentive to our concerns. Throughout the process she called several times to inquire about his well-being. She was also very reasonable and honest when it came to costs. We highly recommend her.”

“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!!!!! I'm so glad I found them so many years ago. Dr. Carrie and Dr. Mark were definitely meant to be Veterinarians. If you want true compassion, not just for your pet but yourself as well, this is the place to go. I can't tell you what a great place this is. Did I mention that I LOVE them?!?!?!?!?! And no, I'm not an employee or paid spokesperson. I was a Vet Tech for 20 years and have worked with MANY vets and have fired many (as a client). I would recommend SAH whether I had pets or not.”

“If I could give this place 100 stars I would, The staff here we absolutely amazing, I just adopted my first puppy and this is the vet we took her to after the pet store sold her to us sick, they were so caring and were doing everything they can to figure out what was wrong with her, they gave her some medicine and they gave her a nail trim, overall they seemed very caring about my puppy..about 2 days later the vet tech that attended her called to see how she was doing which caught me by surprise cuz like I said it showed that they cared..definitely feel like I can trust the staff and vet”

“This vet has to be one of the best in Sarasota. I have taken my elderly dog and cats here and every time we have received stellar service. Super affordable, and a vet who really cares about the animals. I highly recommend them!”

“Dr. Kate and staff are amazing! Dr. Kate graduated from UF! I have a chihuahua whom is extremely high maintenance and she has always done what is best for him. Dr. Kate is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend!”

“Love this vet and staff. Always accommodating , trying to squeeze you in if at all possible. The receptionist - Caroline - is kind and patient. Vet assistant is always upbeat and helpful - explains things thoroughly & patiently. And Dr Abschier is professional yet personable - something I value in any type of doctor. And all this is provided at the most reasonable pricing I've found locally. So glad I found them!”

“I would not trust and appreciate any other vet clinic in the world! Dr Laurie has a compassion for animals like no other. I have adopted 3 pets from her and will always appreciate the love she has for them!”

“They did an amazing job with by Ella's dental. The entire staff is so caring. She loves coming in to see the staff. I highly recommend this clinic. They always put the best interest of the pets first and care deeply about every pet that comes in.”

“We specifically chose Cat Depot based on the several negative reviews. We personally felt that any shelter that prioritized the wellbeing of the cats above people wanting to pet a cat was the kind of place we wanted to adopt from.Their online application was very easy. It was maybe one full page of pretty basic questions that you’d ask anyone looking to adopt a new pet. Things like do you believe declawing a cat is ok? How many hours per day will the cat be left alone? If you couldn’t care for the cat what would you do? I mean, really really basic stuff. And the application is free.We went in to look at two cats — and it was obvious from the jump that it wasn’t going to be a good match. We were bummed, but Kim told us she had one cat she wanted to show us. We are SO glad she did!We ended up adopting Black Bean and, so far, he is a pretty miraculous cat, especially given his whirlwind life so far. He’s super chill and lovey, didn’t mind a long car ride, and adapted to his new home really quickly. He’s been an amazing addition to our family, and we can’t thank Cat Depot or Kim enough for taking such good care of our best boy who is still called Bean :)”
