It's almost 2 years since I brought my kitty, Linus, here.... Staff was warm, and the vet was great. Unfortunately they had difficulty trying to Catherine him, so she called in her boss to try ( after midnight). They called me with updates and options I had....snd although this story didn't end well, I was very satisfied with the love, care and compassion Linus and I received. read more

Bradenton Veterinary Emergency - My Linus - Veterinarians Near Me - Bradenton, Florida

I have left several voicemails however they have not returned the remains of my cat although I paid almost $900

From our very early morning call till our leaving with the special care our pug needed, this emergency vet was perfect. Our pug was having breathing issues and Dr Mendez was caring and knowledgeable. Not only did she administer medication to get him comfortable, she was able to give us more information on his health issues. They even emailed our regular vet immediately so he had our info before office hours. For the second time in about a year, we are grateful for Bradenton Veterinary Emergency. read more

Great vet care, but prices are crazy. $110 for a urine and stool sample!!! Had I known it wasn't included, I wouldn't have made a special trip to bring it in!! The price for the emergency visit was a little more reasonable. read more

Welcoming and friendly staff. Took in dehydrated cat with diarrhea, dehydration, lethargy etc. Mentioned a few times he'd recently switched foods and had been treated for worms with diatomaceous earth which is typically safe but some cats react as he was. He received fluids and probiotics. No activated charcoal in case of toxins and apparently nobody checked for worms (tapeworms typically aren't killed by DE) which I discovered after wiping his butt once home. Seems like pretty basic stuff but wasn't done in spite of $352 bill read more

This was a great experience even though the situation was scary. Our fur baby wasn't feeling well so I looked on yelp to find a 24 hour emergency vet clinic. This clinic had 5 stars and now I see why. The entrance was easy to get into with sliding doors. The waiting room was clean and did not smell like The Vet. The front desk technician was friendly and calm and got us checked in easily. Our wait wasn't too long. The vet technician came in and was very friendly and kind. She listened and asked questions of what we went through. Rosie our fur baby was taken I. The back where the Dr. Checked her vitals and came back in to explain treatment options. The vet was great in calming us both and explaining everything well. As I was thinking "what would you do if this was your dog", she suddenly explained which option she would choose and why, but that the second option would give us proof positive and comfort of knowing exactly what was going on inside our pooches tummy. We decided for the second option that was also the most expensive but we didn't want to be unsure and have to return. They got everything fine in about 20 minutes and brought her back to me. The vet said it took a little longer than normal because everyone was fawning over her, and that she was fine. She went over everything they did and showed me the X-rays. After explaining what we were looking at she said they would email them to us. They offered follow up care and instructions and said they would call us tomorrow to check on her. I wish the human emergency room ran that smoothly, was that clean and the staff was that friendly and nice. It's the only place I will go back to if there is an emergency, it was a 40 min. Drive but we'll worth the travel. read more

Phenomenal staff! Dr. Mendez is very professional and knowledgeable. She took great care of my 7 month old Chihuahua. I am forever grateful. read more

Took our little, old dog to see the vet at Bradenton Veterinary Emergency office this morning, after noticing a bit of blood in her urine. The staff and Dr. Hamilton were EXCEPTIONAL. Kind, caring, and as prompt as could be for this New Year's Day and a Sunday. They told us to expect a wait of 4-5 hours, but my pup was seen in two hours. I liked their honesty and was surprised when we were seen sooner the expected. They treated us with courtesy and understanding in the midst of true emergencies of other animals. They did the UTI tests, and checked her vitals and overall health. Gave her meds and a steroid injection to help make her comfortable while the antibiotics kick in. I highly recommend Bradenton Veterinary Emergency office! The office is staffed 24/7, which is a comfort. read more

Wonderful animal ER! Provides excellent care and very empathetic, knowledgeable staff!! Highly recommend for any pet emergency!!!!!

During our mini trip to Florida our first night we noticed our dog acting funny and we immediately realized she more than likely had a uti. Thankfully the tech and doctor were kind and able to see my dog. My dog has a complicated health history and she took the time to ensure the meds that she would be taking wouldn't cause any harmful effects. They even called the next day to ensure she was doing better. Very reasonable price for an ER visit. Thank you again for all the staff that worked there that night. read more

Phenomenal service! The front desk staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Cody was our veterinary tech and she was very confident and helpful. Highly recommend Bradenton Veterinary for any of your beloved pets needs!! Highly recommend. read more

My fur baby (Malachi) was taken here Saturday. They took xrays and blood work. We saw Dr. Mendez, who gave us several options. I thought she was professional, knowledgeable and very compassionate. I trusted her and opt to do the surgery. Dr. Ross introduce herself to me. Shift was changing and Dr. Ross would be doing the surgery. Dr. Ross promise to call before surgery and after. She kept her promise. Dr. Ross never once rushed me off the phone. She encourage me to call with any questions I have. I never felt like I was a burden as they were very busy. We all want our pets to be #1 but sometimes we have to be patient and I understand that. read more

We used this vet while we were vacationing in the area and our dog was bitten by another dog. We were so pleased with how easy it was to get a hold of someone on the phone very quickly, and the kind and helpful attitude of everyone we interacted with. They were doing curbside during Covid which we really appreciated, and they were super efficient without making us feel like they were rushing through the care. Last but not least, we couldn't believe how reasonable the price was compared to every other after hours vet experience we've ever had. We wish we had this vet available to us at home! read more

Incredible! we waited 2 hours just to find out that this vet was no able to remove a J fish hock that our small dog eat because they did nit had and endoscope. The fist time we called we specifically told the attending nurse that the god had ate a hock that needed to be removed. After waiting 2 hours for other emergencies they suggested to take the dog to another clinic that had the right equipment for the procedure. We took the dog to the emergency ER in 8237 Cooper Creek Blvd and they got the job done. What I regret is waiting 2 hours as this place. I will never go back nor I would recomendable this vet . read more

I never write bad reviews, but this place is something else...This is not a REAL Pet EMERGENCY Clinic. I waited over 4 hours and wasn't seen for my pet. I was never called or updated on the wait time. The receptionist originally told me the wait time would be 1 to 2 hours when I got there and I was there for nearly 5 hours. I watched 6 cars come after me and leave before me while my dog was suffering in my backseat, but they never came for my dog. It seems that they only help "certain" people. My dog was in terrible condition with an unknown itch that was making her devour herself. She couldn't eat or sleep and her body was swollen, but I guess that wasn't good enough for them to see her. DON'T BRING YOUR PET HERE if you have a REAL EMERGENCY or if you ARE A BLACK PERSON. read more

First time coming here,my cat passed away and brought her here.They were caring and took immediate care of Londi,where I also had her cremated there, had a choice of ern for her! They made what I had to go through, bearable! Thanks, Doctors and staff,I know it's hard for you also. read more

Do not ever take your pet here. I took my dog who was suffering with diarrhea for almost 2 weeks, they put him on three medicines for parasites and worms that he DID NOT HAVE. 5 days later and 6lbs lighter due to the non-stop diarrhea I took him back to my vet for examination and it was determined that my dog had an infection of the colon was prescribed with an antibiotics and within one day the diarrhea stopped and he was on his way to recovery. I requested a partial refund for the cost of the medication since he never had parasites or worms and because they diagnosed him without a proper stool sample and never did any blood work on him. Needless to say nothing they did helped him at all and they refused any reimbursement. read more

Our small dog, Clara, was suddenly limping and crying on a Saturday night after jumping off of the bed. We struggled in deciding if she needed to go to the emergency vet, and we are so glad that we did not wait until Monday. We called and the staff urged us to come right in, transparent with prices over the phone. The staff was very friendly and empathetic, and the whole process of checking in, examining, and treating Clara took less than an hour at 10:00 on Saturday Night. She was even sniffing a staff member while wagging her tail when they brought her back to us! The prices were very reasonable and the staff knowledgable and friendly. We are so happy we took her here! read more

We had a great experience here. Late night emergency back issue with our Dachshund; i called ahead and Joey could not have been more empathetic. When we arrived we were registered and in a room within a few minutes. Joey came in for all the preliminary work and assessment and was so kind and sweet and compassionate. Dr. Mendez saw us within 15 minutes and was really thorough and delicate with our dog. When she was finished she shared with us her assessment, a variety of options with pros, cons, potential expenses and helped us figure out the right and best treatment path. We also felt their charges and pricing were very reasonable and for the services and compassion we got, absolutely worth it. read more

Professional and caring individuals work their magic here. EXCELLENT care and compassion can be found here when dealing with emergency situations with fur family members. They will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for all that you do every day. read more

Quoted me a price of $250 to euthanize a cat. I am going out of town and one of the cats that lives in my yard (came with the house) is looking pretty bad so I wanted to put him out of his misery before leaving, which is going to happen before my regular vet reopens. Unfortunately he went downhill fast and by the time I decided to try and have him euthanized before having to leave for my trip the only places open were two emergency clinics. This procedure at a regular vet appointment is $75 or less, depending on if the vet has seen the cat before. It is really outrageous to charge over 3 times the going rate because of weekend hours. I am truly disgusted by this kind of price gouging inflicted on people who are caught being a rock and a hard place and trying to do the right thing by the animal. read more

We recently had an emergency with our Kitty Mia on a Saturday morning. Our regular Vet was not available, but staff at her office recommended we take her here. I called first to ask a question and Joey was so polite, helpful and told us to come right away. From the moment we got there, the staff was amazing. Very fast , minimal paperwork was completed, then Joey came out in a matter of minutes and took us back to a room. He was so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. He quickly assessed her, and let us know what to expect as far as what tests needed to be ordered and the cost. Dr. Bringardner came in and was also extremely kind and compassionate. She assessed Mia and explained everything to us. They took her for x-rays and returned quickly with results, explained findings , reviewed images with us and gave us advice on how to care for her injury/condition, including Rx administration and follow up protocol. Joey returned with medicine, reiterated the instructions, answered all our questions and gave us the printed radiology report,(mages had already been red and dictated via a teleradiology service in TX., in less than 30 mins.), and provided a CD of same for us to take home. We were so impressed by our experience and can't thank everyone enough for their outstanding service! They even called us next day - Sun., to check on her. We were not sure if her leg was the same or worse, so they said to bring her back for a quick check, which we did and were reassured that it was not getting worse. Again, she made us feel so much better about our precious Kitty. Thank you so very much for your genuine concern and excellent service! We hopefully never need emergency pet care again, but if we do, we will definitely choose Bradenton Emergency Veterinarian. Lastly, we were amazed at the extremely reasonable cost, as we have had many pets and Vet bills over the years, and expected it to be much more- but as any pet owner who loves their pets like we do, you do whatever it takes to help your fur babies! read more

Amazing staff! Felt comfortable that my dog was in great hands. Prices are reasonable and the wait was really short. Thank you so much!

I moved down to Bradenton in March of 2015. I had a cat with kidney failure who was my best friend. In April I had no vet in the area and she was really sick around midnight, I looked up the closest emergency vet and found this place. The office manager was so kind and understanding because I knew when I got there it was most likely not going to be a good outcome. The vet and I decided it was time. There was no rush for payment and they weren't trying to rush me out the door, they gave us the time we needed. I've put other pets down in the past and have been hassle about payment and trying to rush me out! They offered to make a paw print of her paw! It was so nice to have that with me. Overall they made a painful decision for me not so stressful. I will forever take my pets here for emergencies! read more

I came in with my beloved golden retriever and all that I could tell them was that she was sluggish and not herself. My dog went down hill very rapidly, but they determined the problem precisely and quickly. Although they knew I needed to put her down, they were very kind about giving me all of the options. They were detailed with information and calm, but worked with emergency speed so that I could say goodbye and put my dog to sleep before she began to suffer. I was extremely grateful for their care and professionalism and relieved that the bill was very reasonable. read more

Recently we had an emergency with one of our dogs. The service from the entire staff was excellent. We so appreciate everything you did for our pal. read more

Details08/17/2017 I have literally spent thousands at Desoto Animal Clinic: however the after hours is horrid. I foster kittens for Pasco Animal Services and my son ran outside screaming that 1 was falling over. Of course we jumped in the car (my son without shoes) and we went here. The receptionist was extremely cold and patronizing. I only had $100 in my pocket. They took him back and treated him and then presented me a $600 bill. I explained I was only the foster mom and I didn't have the $ but said I would work it out with Pasco. The receptionist was so ugly and demanded I sign over the kitten or they would cease treatment. I explained that he legally belonged to Pasco but she again demanded it so I did for his sake. The next day they refused to give me any information about where he was. Come to find out...he is at Manatee Animal Services alone in a cage away from his litter mates and surrounded by barking dogs. I even offered to pay the $600 but they refuse. Yeah, so much better than him being loved at home in a clean safe environment. I'm the good guy who fosters and I was treated like a 3rd class citizen. Horrendous. Do not go here. read more

Wonderful doctors and staff. I've been working with animals for 21 years and this is my "go-to" for any emergencies. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough about the exceptional care and service we had here. I took my dog in late on a Friday night - she ultimately needed to be put under and given stitches. Despite not leaving until almost 1am, the staff was super friendly, caring, and professional. They obviously love animals and showed her lots of care and compassion. The follow up call after to check in on her recovery was also much appreciated. The care instructions were very thorough and pricing was upfront and honest. If I ever need an emergency place again, this will be it! read more

Very attentive staff that is thorough and complete. We love Dr. Londono ! We highly recommend this office for every day or emergency needs. Thank you for for being so caring and kind! read more

It was a Sunday and I panicked, my dog was screeching and was in pain. I brought her in - the wait was long but I understood. I payed 832 dollars to figure out what was wrong with my dog. The vet diagnosed her with pancreatitis. The vet gave her fluid and told me to feed her babyfood. Over the next few days not only did she have explosive diarrhea, she could not even walk. I called again because I could not understand why she was getting worse - they told me to bring her back (they had promised a free revisit but because I had waited too long they wanted another 98 to just see her) So, I brought her in to my regular vet along with the paperwork from this clinic and he looked at all of her results. He said the results did not indicate anything wrong with her digestive system at all, and new with just my description and the way she was standing it was neurological. Turns out she had a disc out of place in her cervical. For this diagnosis and treatment it was only 400 dollars (I know - emergency vets are more expensive, but at least give me an accurate diagnosis). Very disappointing. read more
