The entire staff is wonderful. They saved one of my cats lives a few months ago when she got very ill. Today when I noticed my other cat had an injury they didn't hesitate to immediately take her back and work on her.

I had a mini-emergency for my dachshund. My regular vet was " too busy " for 4 days. I called these folks, and they had me in the office in 30 minutes. They are caring, compassionate, and totally dedicated to the best pet care. Needless to say, they are my regular vet from now on. Thank you so much.

We have been taking our dog to Tarpon animal hospital for years. A dog with allergies and fearful aggression requires a lot of work from owners and care takers. The office staff have made great effort to leave notes in our dogs chart, give me heads up when the lobby was clear of other animals and always treated me with respect and worked to accommodate the needs of our dog. Over the years we have put our full trust into an amazing team member named Courtney. She has learned our dogs behaviors, listed to us, and has truly been an Angel in her ability to treat and work with our dog who is not an easy one to take to the vets office. From needing a muzzle to no longer a muzzle our dog now loves it when we tell him we are going to see Courtney, he can barely stand it, wagging and barking his way to the car. The office has accommodated vet visits and just medication shot visits to minimize stress on our dog. I am grateful for this vet office and most importantly feel heard. When it comes to having a challenging dog there’s a few things owners need: help, treatment, to be heard and lastly lots of treats :). Tarpon animal hospital is just what we need in a vet.

Rude, condescending owner/vet. New to the area and took my elderly kitty in right away because she needs medication that she's been taking for years. Agreed to the blood work and injection for arthritis that he recommended but made it clear my main reason for being there was to make sure we could get her medication when we needed it. Called 2 weeks later to get it (it had to be compounded by an outside pharmacy). Spent the week calling and being promised multiple times they would take care of what needed to be taken care of and call me. They didn't, so I went in person to see what I could do. Instead of working with me for a solution (I was very worried about my kitty), Abbate told me poor planning on my part didn't constitute an emergency on their part. They dropped the ball then blamed me. Disappointing because I had liked him when I first met him.

Terrible service! I am looking to renew my heart worm and flea medication with this clinic (been a patient for almost 3 years) and they increased the rate an additional $45 for a 6 month script of Simpatico trio. I decide to use Chewy and Tarpon Animal Clinic won't do it electronically but requires me to pick up a hard copy and mail it to Chewy. This was recently changed with no notice to me. I call to ask what happen and they put me on hold for 7 minutes (same experience last two calls with this vet-over 5 min wait each call). Receptionist is snide, rude and when I ask to speak to the veterinarian she blows me off and tells me to find another clinic to go to. Unprofessional, uncaring and totally uncalled for service, not the place I want to keep my fur baby at. This is 2023- electronic scripts are done every day with regular physicians-- not reasonable to require patients to drive over there to pick up a paper copy.

Our go to vet for both of our dogs, conveniently located off 19. The vets are very personable, counter people are caring and attentive, and it's a clean vet. Foods are available as well. Typically pretty easy to get an appointment within a couple of days. Prices seem reasonable for this area. Give them a look!

Wonderful, caring place. The girls upfront are nothing but nice. The other day I was in there, and some belligerent woman was carrying on like she was nuts. Nobody should be treated the way they were treated. I don’t care how many dogs she has . The girls were only following the rules.

Still not too sure yet. They are corporate owned, which is probably why they are pushing so many tests and pills my past vet has never mentioned. I am getting my pups teeth cleaned tomorrow....we shall see how far OVER their min estimate they go before I decide to keep my pup here.UPDATED REVIEWThings went better than expected. Initially I found the front staff unorganized, the website had outdated information that I used to try to get my pups records to this pet hospital prior to our appointment which caused my proactive personality to go into frustration mode, etc. The continual push for more tests, costs and meds is the corporate business plan of most vets but I am an adult and can say no more.I did find that they treated my pup with good care and concern when he hard a very hard time with the anesthesia for his teeth cleaning, which is a huge plus to me. They also did not charge me for a tooth that basically fell out by itself (I knew he had a bad tooth) and they could have padded their bill because I would not have known it fell out.. another plus for honesty. The final bill ended up less than their minimum estimate, a 3rd plus so overall, I am pleased with their service.

Truly kind and caring vet and staff! My furbaby had stopped breathing after another seizure and I begged them to see us right away in this emergency even though she was not a current patient yet (after being unable to get her in sooner at ANY other local ER or urgent care). It was too late and I was heartbroken, but I will never forget their incredible compassion and kindness. They didn’t even charge me (especially being non-patient!) and even provided me with a nice body bag to bring her back home with me. THEN, I was further surprised to receive a lovely card signed by the vet and his staff! Hands down, this will be my vet of choice when I’m ready to rescue my next dog! Highly recommend and they even offer a Groupon for those interested in trying them out. A+++++++++++++

I was just informed by my vet that my cat has advanced kidney disease. Unbeknownst to me drinking lots of water and dry fur are signs of kidney disease. I previously took my cat here 2 years ago for an exam and check up, and told them how he drinks water non stop and has dry fur. I was told nothing was wrong, no blood tests and due to Covid I was not allowed in, so not sure what really happened. Not happy, I could have known years ago my cat was sick, but I was not listened to or allowed inside, so not sure if they did anything. My cat is doing very poorly and I could have helped him 2 years ago.

We recently found a stray dog & after one month of being unable to find its owners We decided we would adopt. A friend of mine told me about this office and then there was a Groupon coupon for the initial visit. I have never used Groupon but it seemed like a great deal so I purchased it. I was pleased. The lobby was neat & clean and The wait was short. The staff was friendly. The vet himself was nice and thorough. He was very patient and answered the list of questions I prepared. We will definitely be back.

Would give 0 stars if I could. The women at the front desk are SO unbelievably rude. Strongly suggest looking ANYWHERE else if you want someone to actually care about you pets. Do NOT bring your pets here if you want good, quality care.

This great animal vet always has convenient appointment times. The girls up front and techs are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The doctors are honest and exceptional.
