I recently adopted a new dog and noticed that he's been scratching his ears quite aggressively. I…read moredecided to take him to the vet for a checkup. When I called the clinic, I spoke with a friendly and helpful receptionist. She informed me that they don't take appointments, which should have been obvious from their name. Upon arriving at the clinic, I was warmly greeted and asked to complete a new client form. I did so and waited for about 10 minutes before the staff came to collect us. The lady who accompanied us to the examination room was friendly and patient with my dog, who can be a bit anxious when meeting new people. She examined him and diagnosed the issue. She then informed the veterinarian who arrived shortly thereafter. Since my dog was reluctant to have anyone touch his ear, the veterinarian took him to the back of the clinic so that others could assist him. When the veterinarian returned, she explained the procedure and what I could expect in the coming days. Throughout the entire experience, I was impressed by the professionalism and helpfulness of the staff. I highly recommend this clinic to all my friends.

The front office is cheerful and welcoming - even when it is a tough reason you are there. You are never ignored, they let you know how the line is progressing and if you know their hours, you can time things to shorten your wait. During the initial exam with the techs, every concern and question is answered. they take detailed notes so your follow up visits are clear and quick. The vets approach everything with a personal and practical approach - not looking to pad their bill with a million tests, they know what they are doing. Options are given, but if you ask, if this was your loved one, what would you suggest, they help to guide you. Have not met a single person here that is not dedicated to bringing their very best every single day they are there. I have a 14 year old and 3 year old beagle - both receiving the very best of care. Thank you - Lori, Kevin, Jake and Lucy.

Overpriced **Warning: Consider Your Options Before Choosing…read moreThis Animal Hospital** I do not recommend this animal hospital based on my experience. In 2020, I brought one of my cats in to be spayed. At the time of discharge, we declined the recovery shirt that was offered. We were never given the shirt, nor were we informed that we would be billed for one later. According to the hospital, we supposedly agreed to pay for it at the follow-up appointment. That never happened. For the next two years, while we continued living in Ruskin, I never received a bill, phone call, email, or any other notification that there was an outstanding balance. My phone number has remained the same since 2012, and after moving due to military orders, I still received no communication regarding any unpaid charges. Now, in 2026...six years later....I received my first phone call from the hospital stating they intend to send a **$25 charge** to collections. They claimed they had contacted me multiple times, which is simply not true. No notices or calls were ever received. Sending a customer to collections years later for a charge that was never communicated is unacceptable business practice. At best, it demonstrates extremely poor recordkeeping and customer service. At worst, it raises serious concerns about how this hospital handles billing and communication. If you're comfortable with the possibility of being contacted years after your visit for charges you were never made aware of and being threatened with collections over a $25 item you never received, then this may be the place for you. Otherwise, I recommend choosing a veterinary practice with transparent billing, timely communication, and better customer service.

As far as I am concerned, Dr Fritz has taken care of my two dogs. One had a very bad wound and her…read moreand her staff couldn't have been more concerned about his health and recovery. I called them at 9pm and was seen by Dr Fritz at 10am who then performed surgery to stitch his wound about 1pm and I had him by 4pm. Dr Fritz took so much time to go over what they had done and how to care for Teddy's wound. My Chrissie had terrible loose stool and vomiting and needed immediate attention. Again I called at 8am and we had an appointment for 10am. Dr Fritz and her staff treated my Chrissie and me with such kindness. Explained her labs and cultures results. Prescribed probiotics, medications to sooth her esophagus from the vomiting, prescribed the diet, and nausea medication. Her loose stopped within hours and when she was eating, I was told to come to her office to get an appetite stimulant. This worked within 3 hours and my Chrissie within 3 days is eating, going regularly to the bathroom and is my happy little girl. I can't thank Dr Fritz and her team enough. Thank you for being the caring vet that is so hard to find.
