I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lewis and the other staff at Pebble Creek! She was very knowledgeable about rabbits and did everything she could to help my daughter’s bunny. We will definitely be back to see her for our future veterinary needs! View on Google (opens in new tab)
Had an emergency (blood in my cats urine). They saw me within the hour of arriving. Everyone was calm but understanding and it really felt like they were sympathetic to my urgency.

Star rating only, no written review.
It is so nice to finally find an office where you can tell they are animal people. I have worked at several vets, and have shopped around for my own animals, and it is absurdly rare for vet office workers to truly love animals. The folks at Pebble Creek managed to gain the trust… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Two of my kitty cats go to Pebble Creek. I’ve always received the best care there, and the cat room is fantastic with the window! Other kitty cat goes to the sister vet, Tampa Palms animal clinic and I’ve always received especially great care there as well. View on Google (opens in new tab)
What a great experience, I brought my dog Astro, he was experiencing some allergies and itching, the entire staff was great, kind and worked quickly.
