The characteristics that you should look for in a vet and veterinary clinic are the same ones you…read moreshould look for in a doctor and a doctors office: caring, empathy, support, knowledge, communication and the ability to meet with a professional both for routine and urgent care. North Florida Animal Hospital has all this and more in abundance. Our cats have been using their services for over 10 years. And each time we have been back for a scheduled checkup we feel like family who have come back for a visit. The reception and technical team are friendly and efficient. And the vets are knowledge, caring and personable. Dr Steele had cared for our cats for years, and it is clear that she not only loves her job, but that she also loves her patients. When one of our cats died a few years ago, her sadness and compassion were evident. Now that our second cat is having issues, at the age of 17, we have again turned to her for advice and assistance. She treats our cat like he was her own and has made sure that we know exactly what is happening. In fact, she is the one who has called to tell us lab results and she's taken the time to meet with us when we brought him in for overnight treatment. We trust her, the other vets, and the team with the most vulnerable members of our family. And they could not be in better hands. I'm so glad that they are the team who takes care of, and is now caring for, our pets.

Just not a good experience. The one that got her shots started hacking within a couple of days. I…read morecalled to talk to doctor because it was awful to watch - she was spitting up foam. I was told by reception they would pass info on to Dr. Todd, but told me it is probably a side effect of getting the Bordatella shot. Fast forward a few more days and it's getting worse. So I called again. First person who took the message said she had Tracheobronchitis (now I know what that is as I worked 4 years for a vet when I lived in Chicago) - aka Kennel Cough. Doc didn't call back so I called again - second girl I spoke to said I'd have to wait until end of day because doctor schedule was full. I just hung up - doctor called back and said it was a 'flu that was going around' - why lie? It cost me $90 for the meds. When I went to get the meds the girl told me that the 'kennel cough' would start being relieved within a couple days of starting meds. So that evening - the second dog started with the coughing and spitting up - had to pay another $90 for meds for her kennel cough. Here in lies the problem - both dogs are 4 years old - and have been boarded at other places many times. NEVER had kennel cough - or whatever NFAH wants to call it - but if you're going there prepare yourself for this. It's highly contagious and if they were to properly sterilize exam rooms, properly verify animal vaccines before boarding and properly sterilize kennels it could reduce incidents. My dogs have not been in or near any other animals since January. This was a direct cause of taking them to NFAH. I trusted them. Paid over $250 for shots, then another $180 for meds to get rid of the kennel cough they contracted at NFAH. Shame shame.

UNPROFESSIONAL, UNTRUSTWORTHY, TREAT ANIMALS LIKE PRODUCTS ON A FACTORY LINE. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU…read moreLOVE YOUR ANIMAL. Be warned that when the vet tech does an intake form with you and your dog, that she will then take your dog to the back room not just to get weight as is the norm but she AND the vet will then, allegedly, do everything you discussed with vet tech. After a long wait, the vet will come in and tell you the results of his, alleged, examination--still without your dog present. When questions were asked re costs for extra blood tests & whether records showed vaccinations from previous year (thus eliminating the need for them at appointment), the vet said he'd go check and return with the information. He never came back because he had already administered the vaccine and didn't want to tell you, and when the vet tech finally returned dog, she provided a doc showing vaccination had already been administered (so vet lied). There was NO written summary of the exam documenting what had been done. Conclusion: removal of animal for complete exam behind closed doors is suspicious and contrary to standard practice. Most vets/vet techs WANT the human involved with the exam. I have NO assurance that anything they billed me for doing actually occurred, nor do I trust this vet or vet tech. When all of this was relayed to both vet and vet tech, the only reply was they'd put it in my records that I wanted to be present during the exam of my dog. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU LOVE YOUR DOG/CAT.

Our dog Sierra is a loveable, but skittish and old rescue terrier mix, and Kate has been her…read moregroomer for years. Kate treats her with a lot of love and affection. My husband can be very picky about how Sierra is groomed, and Kate patiently mastered his requests and has become one of the few groomers he approves. We love Kate even more now that she comes to our front door. What could be better?! As a busy woman working from home with multiple Zoom meetings a day, I sometimes found it a challenge to get Sierra to her appointment on time. That's no longer a problem. We are moving to CA next month and I've tried to convince Kate it's not that far of a drive, but she's too smart for that.
