Our initial experience with our newly adopted canine companion, Luna, proved to be positive. The staff exhibited exceptional friendliness, the facilities were meticulously maintained, and the vaccination services were offered at a competitive price. View on Google (opens in new tab)

I would be very careful if you go to this vet. She charges 5 times what other vet’s in this area charge and after 5 weeks and two treatments at a cost of $792.00 my dog had to go to another vet to get better. The second vet cost $88.00. Be careful View on Google (opens in new tab)

Clinic's reply: Florida allergies can be very frustrating, but we are happy that Chewy is doing better and we wish him well.
