It's a shame I have to write this because I've brought multiple dogs to see Dr. McCall over the…read morepast 5 years and referred a number of my neighbors as well. I never had any complaint about Dr. McCall. Dr. Johnson on the other hand - STAY AWAY!!!!! NEVER bring your dog there for their dental cleaning!!! All I'm gonna say is I brought my darling Izzy in for dental in Sept 2025. She came home in terrible condition! She couldn't eat, she could barely stand or walk and they had no hours when I could bring her back in because I work 8-4:30 and so do they. When I kept calling there and expressing my being upset, they tried to turn it on me that it's MY fault because I didn't bring her back after her surgery. How could I when I work???? I kept bringing her to the emergency animal hospital on 40. Their after care is pathetic. It cost me $1800 to basically kill my little girl. She ended up passing away in my arms the following week - After multiple visits to the emergency Vet. NEVER let Dr. Johnson do dental on your dog! Go to Marion County Humane Society clinic. They are 1/3 the cost, they do the bloodwork the morning of surgery so there is NO QUESTION that your dog can be safely put under anesthesia. The Vet there as well as the team were outstanding. My new rescue came home after surgery and the first thing he wanted to do was eat! What a difference. Save your heart from breaking and avoid this place. Again, my condolences to Dr. McCall because I really liked her, but she was also a disappointment in the end because she never reached out to me during this fiasco.

MY DOG DIED On Wednesday, July 16, 2026, at approximately…read more11:00 a.m., I took my 2-year-and-9-month-old French Bulldog to CareVet at Skylark because he appeared to have pain in one of his back legs. We explained everything that had happened and provided the veterinary team with all the details about his condition. When we arrived, my dog was able to walk normally, including from the parking lot into the clinic. After examining him, the veterinary team gave him an injection for pain relief. They then told us they wanted to sedate him because he was difficult to keep still during a spinal examination and X-rays. We also informed them that our dog had consumed a large amount of water before the examination. We were instructed to return around 4:00 p.m. to pick him up. When we returned, our dog's condition had changed dramatically. He was completely paralyzed, and his eyes were severely swollen and bright red. I immediately asked the veterinary assistant why he looked like that. I was told that he had become stressed during the sedation and X-ray process. The following morning, at approximately 9:00 a.m., we returned to the clinic and asked to speak with Dr. Southwell. He also questioned why our dog's eyes were so red, even though I had already raised that concern. He administered fluids and a Diazepam injection before sending us home. Around 11:00 p.m. that same night, our dog's condition continued to worsen, so we rushed him to the University of Florida Emergency Veterinary Hospital. The emergency veterinarian examined him and expressed serious concern about his neurological condition. What I cannot understand is why CareVet at Skylark never informed us that something serious may have occurred during the sedation or recovery process, or that his condition required immediate emergency neurological evaluation. Instead, we only learned how critical his condition was after taking him to another veterinary hospital. Those first hours were incredibly important, and I will always wonder whether earlier recognition, communication, and referral could have made a difference. My dog walked into the clinic that morning. He left the same day completely paralyzed and fighting for his life. Despite every effort by the emergency team to save him, he passed away in the early morning of July 18, 2026. My French Bulldog was only 2 years and 9 months old. He had never been seriously ill and was always a happy, loving, and playful dog. He brought so much joy to our lives, and we are heartbroken by his loss. This was one of the most painful experiences my family has ever endured. Based on what we experienced, I cannot recommend this clinic. I hope no other family has to go through what we did. Rest in peace, my little angel. You will always be loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.

Very compassionate doctor and staff. He really took the time to explain the problem and what he was going to do to try to resolve it. When he explained that he was going to use my dogs Leo's blood to make a serum to help in healing his ongoing eye problem I was thinking OMG $$$ this sounds expensive. I was shocked at how reasonable the bill was today for the appointment, the plastic cone for his head the eye serum and other medication for his eye. I read more about the blood/eye/healing when I got home. Great plan. The assistant was a lovely, friendly women who was very attentive and caring towards Leo as well. I have had experiences at other veterinarians where I have feltl like I am in a car dealership being sold extra rustproofing for my car and that I am a bad pet owner if I don't agree to the long list of extra shots and services suggested that my "elderly dogs really should have". If you are new to the area or not thrilled with your current vet, I really can't say enough good things about my experience there today.

We took him to Dr. Salpeter thinking his issue was degenerative hip problems, I wish. Dr. Salpeter did a series of test that were inconclusive an took blood for a more comprehensive assessment. She prepared us for the "it might not be good" scenario. She called Wednesday to explain her findings and unfortunately the news was not good. Wednesday afternoon Snowball passed in our arms with Dr. Salpeter's help. I cannot explain how compassionate she and her assistant were. Because of COVID they had set up a tent over a cement picnic table under the oak tree at the end of the parking lot. She administered Snowball a sedative in my arms at the car. It took a few minutes to work. I then took him to the tent where we all sat around the table while she administer the other drug. I am so glad it went like that, under the oak tree, and not having Snowball pass on a cold stainless steel table. I placed him in a special box and we said our good byes. They also showed genuine compassion for my wife and I. It isn't easy losing a family member and it happened so fast. For anyone who truly cares about theIr feline family members, we highly recommend Brick City Cat Hospital. We have been going to them for about five years.

Dr. Cayot came out to practice equine dentistry on one of my old guys. Though he explained that there wasn't much he could do with the level of tooth that remained what he did do has improved my horse's quality of life and he's put on 40 lbs at least. The routine worming and bloodwork etc have all been simple and reliable. The office staff are friendly and understanding and more than willing to go the extra mile. I've told them there is clearly a reason they have a national reputation for excellence. They are most definitely Marion County's best. I can't imagine taking my business anywhere else.
