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.

The reason I sought another facility for my pups is that after 15 years with another in town, my dogs appeared desperate to see me upon my return- not just happy, but unusually eager to leave. Because of this, I was very conscious of their demeanor when I picked them up from Red Fern and was pleased when I saw that while they were very happy to see me, they would have been just as happy to stay another day. That told me all I needed to know about Red Fern! This paired with the daily pictures of my babies having a ball, the report card shining light on their best qualities and my own positive experience with all of the staff made it clear that Red Fern is my pups' new home away from home when I am called out of town. If you are considering a boarding, grooming or training facility in Marion County, look no further than Red Fern Pet Lodge!

She is a high energy puppy, so this helps her burn off some of that energy. She comes home and sleeps good at night. I receive a report card and photos of her from Enrichment Day Care, which I just love. The team there knew Athena the moment we walked through the door after her first stay. While dropping her off, we witnessed many other dogs being dropped off, all just as happy and excited to be there as Athena. That says a lot about the place when the dogs are happy to be there. It's the best thing we could ever do to help Athena socialize and gain the confidence she needs to grow into a well rounded dog.

We lost our beloved "first born" in the early morning hours. I called CPC around 2AM, and they are truly 24 hours! The secretary passed me on the the after hours Director who called back quickly. Both ladies were very empathetic and caring. The Director confirmed the Gainesville location and was transparent on cost options. By 4AM, their mobile service arrived at our house in rural North Florida. The gentleman was dressed in professional mortuary attire complete with shiny black shoes. My husband and I were very impressed and appreciative on how respectful and reverential he was with the transport process. He communicated multiple times before and after service. He even asked permission that he may have to trim Radar's nails for the paw print as that was his responsibility to complete. They called us later that same day (less than 24 hours) to let us know we could pick up our cremated loved one. It appeared there were a few more options in store than what I discussed with the Director for the memorials. Considering my emotional state, I appreciated the 3 choices on the phone! The wooden rose box is gorgeous and well crafted, and the paw print was done very well. What sets them apart is the certificate of cremation confirming that Radar was respectfully cremated individually. That was very important to us. Again, the staff were exceptional at pickup. As a gift, they included the Rainbow Bridge poem with remembrance wildflower seeds. My husband and I cannot thank you enough! This has been a very tough journey.

I love my dog Harley, but he can be challenging if you are the groomer. After several bad…read moreexperiences with regular grooming salons, I had to resort to getting him sedated. That worked, but then a year ago we moved and I had to find another vet willing to take him. Shores Animal Hospital was the PERFECT solution. At the last vet in Delray Beach, he was totally sedated. As I said, that worked but it was hard on him and hard on me. At Shores though, Dr. Johnson implemented the "Tuft's Protocol" and that was soooo much better. He just becomes so relaxed that the groomer, Ashleigh at Shores Prestige Pet Resort (who is terrific), can get him bathed and clipped. I also use Shores to keep Harley up-to-date on his shots and medical. I cannot say enough things about Dr. Johnson there. She is both kind an thorough and makes it a point to update me after every visit even if he is only there for grooming. I love Shores Animal Hospital, and I am sure you will too!

The last visit was terrible!! I received a phone call asking to set up an appointment for both dogs. I was dealing with a loss and said that I will schedule at a later time. A few weeks went by and I went online to schedule the appointment. After the appointment was scheduled I continued to get calls and text messages asking that the appointments get scheduled. I spoke to someone on the phone and she advised that she seen the appointments scheduled and quoted me $300 for both dogs. I get to the appointment 30 minutes early and quickly got into a room. The male vet tech acted intimidated by one of the dogs and incredibly jumpy. I informed him of the quote of $300 and apparently there were more services listed than the front desk staff could see or that I could see online. The vet tech stated that the dogs would need to come back in 3 weeks for a follow up shot. A non pay week, if this was explained to me I would have scheduled the service another time. I ask, wheat happens if I cannot make it back in 3 weeks? He said that the treatment would need to be started all over again from the beginning. When I inquired about why he did not say anything before, he was nonchalant and shrugged his shoulders saying, that was on me. When the doctor came in she stated that the services would be $367, $67 more than the quote. After the visit the vet tech went to the front "to make sure there were no other dogs up front". I waited five minutes then decided to check out since the tech did not come back. He was talking to one of the receptionists and there were no other clients or animals in the room. The receptionist stated that the amount for the visit was $404, that is way more than the quote on the phone. I advised that was unacceptable and she shrugged her shoulders and said, how would you like to pay? I informed her that I would be writing a review and she told me that was fine. I got me receipt and left. I am not sure that I will be returning.

We even did a meet and greet with our one dog. So far it has gone well at home. The Humane Society and their staff were wonderful especially shout out to Tyler. He was great in giving me all the information that I needed and asked for as well as the handling of the adoption. I have seen some people, dislike the fact that you do have to jump through some hoops to adopt. However, given that they want to make sure that these animals do not come back to the shelter and have a forever home as well as make sure that they are responsibly taken care of after they leave their care, I see why they do it. Even after the adoption my new dog came up with kennel cough they immediately had us come back to the shelter, came to meet us at the car in proper PPE and sent us home with medication which now has worked wonderfully and laddie is now feeling so much better and more like himself. I'm excited for our journey with our new family member and thank you so much Humane Society of Marion County.
