Here's a heartfelt post you could share:…read more Nine months ago, we were told to take our dog, Walker, home and enjoy our last week with him. It all started with diarrhea, soft stools, and gradual weight loss. At first, our local veterinarian thought he had low protein. Then he was treated with antibiotics. By the time Walker was finally diagnosed with pythiosis in his GI tract, we were told his case was terminal and that there was nothing more that could be done. We were absolutely devastated. Then our neighbor did some research and came across the incredible work of Dr. Justin Walton at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. That research changed everything. Dr. Walton and the entire UF Veterinary team gave us something we thought we had lost--hope. Their expertise, compassion, and willingness to fight for Walker saved his life. Today, nine months later, Walker is pythium-free, off all of his medications, healthy, happy, and back to being himself. What once felt impossible has become our reality. There are no words to express how grateful we are to Dr. Walton and every member of the UF team. Thank you for dedicating your lives to advancing veterinary medicine, for never giving up on dogs like Walker, and for giving our family so much more time with our best friend. If your pet has been diagnosed with pythiosis, don't lose hope. Seek a second opinion and learn about the work being done at UF. Walker is living proof that there can be hope, even when the prognosis seems impossible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Dr. Walton and the entire UF Veterinary team. You gave Walker--and our family--a second chance.

Inconsistent at best, cruel and indifferent at worst. I sent the feedback email below after a…read more$1,300 experience with my 100lb potbelly where bloodwork wasn't even drawn and received no response. I largely dealt with a medical resident resistant to putting him under for diagnostics - the reason he was there - & then Dr. Mallicote, who wasnt familiar with his history, didn't care to learn about his history & was condescending and glib. She also refused to answer questions about his discharge paperwork after checking out - wildly unprofessional. Reading reviews here, it seems I'm not alone. The email: "I called the Large Animal Hospital the evening of the 5th to gauge how serious my pig's symptoms might be and what to do next. The vet suggested he should be seen within 24-48 hours, & so I stayed up with him & left for Gainesville around 5 a.m. the next morning. During the drive he passed stool without urinating and vomited multiple times. When I checked him in, I was told the CT machine had broken overnight. The vet said she would try a portable ultrasound, noting the challenges a pig's abdomen can pose, & put him on the list for a CT when it became available. She also noted concern about putting him under twice in quick succession for bloodwork & the scan, which I understood. Over the next two days I received reassuring updates that he was improving, until Wednesday evening when he developed a 106-degree fever. I asked if the fever should be treated and whether he could now get the scan & bloodwork. I was told he had been added to the Thursday list but would be triaged based on need. On Thursday morning I was told he had been removed from the list because he seemed improved. The plan described to me was essentially home care, aside from IV fluids, & I asked that he receive bloodwork and imaging anyway, even if it meant waiting for an opening. These were things I had expected would happen on Day 1 but were delayed due to mechanical circumstances. I was told repeatedly that the "risk/reward ratio" of anesthesia did not justify it, which I found surprising now that we could do blood and a scan together and explained that I was prepared to accept that risk and had brought him there specifically for that reason. When I asked for a second opinion, another veterinarian called, but she did not appear familiar with his prior history, including abnormal liver enzymes found at this hospital six months earlier, or interested in what the underlying issue might be. She also said the risk/reward ratio did not warrant diagnostics obtained with anesthesia, which was beyond confusing since Frank had previously been anesthetized at this hospital twice, including for a tusk trim that was less medically necessary than his current situation. The next morning I was told he would likely be happier at home for the weekend. When I arrived to pick him up, the veterinarian declined to meet with me, and no one else could answer questions about his discharge. He vomited repeatedly on the way home. I called from a gas station to report that he was still very sick and was told that while I could bring him back, there was no additional care they could offer. He is now home and extremely unwell. He is barely eating and struggles just to walk outside. I am devastated and deeply confused about what happened. I brought him for help because I was afraid of how sick he was, and after a long, difficult, expensive trip, I left without answers or diagnostics while he continues to decline."

The staff including the owner was VERY accommodating when she would need time off or had a problem. The owner constantly praised her on her work ethic. My daughter described working here as "it's like home". Now as a customer my dog loves going to Critter camp! He gets excited when I mention the words "critter camp". They always make sure he has a bath before coming home and he loves the playtime with other dogs his size. When we have to go out of town and he can't go, we will ALWAYS use Critter Camp because I know he will be taken care of just like we take care of him. The owner is an animal lover and loves EVERY animal that comes through her doors like her own.

I believe her husband helps out, too. She babysat our 9 year old dog for a few days and worked with us regarding every single in and out of our preferences. She also sends your beloved pet home with a cool lil report of how their stay was (which even includes some entertaining photos with captions). I know this is a little place in a little town, but I'm surprised I don't see any reviews about Jet's anywhere online. I hope this review draws attention to what a cool little place this home-away-from-home can be for your furry family member. JPPC knows that they're doing. Your animal will be in good hands! Her prices are also more than fair and she cooks all the food/treats right there at home to make sure your little guy (or girl) is happy and eating right. Before going out of town and committing to Jet's we even got to sit down with her and talk about her services and what we needed specifically. Really just couldn't say more good things. I highly recommend Jets Pets Pet Care! Check 'em out :D

I will not be able to find the words to describe how wonderful the caring staff and facilities are…read more From the initial consult in a CLEAN, modern, "homey" room, where Dr. Stanley and Lauran got on the floor to meet and examine our dog, to her surgery holding area with a special "red carpet" yoga mat for traction, comfy bed, and pillow for my precious pup, to the kindness when I called and through checkout, everything was wonderful. We loved the take-home bag with the "Bravery" certificate for my sweet pup. Because of the environment they provide, the stress on her (and me) was minimized, which I know made for the best possible outcome - and she's on the road to recovery now. The entire team loves animals, and it shows. They were extremely patient in explaining the procedure and answering my questions, and that's so important because I was scared and absolutely not processing things well. On the day of surgery, they encouraged me to call and check on her anytime and responded quickly with thorough updates. Take-home information repeated what they'd told me, so I could refer to that - or call - if I had questions. You never want your beloved pet to go through surgery, but it's necessary at times. What a blessing to have this team here in our community.
