A few weeks back I made a statement about Shamrock Animal Hospital in regards to the care of my dog…read moreAngel. I was very concerned about my dogs safety due to my thoughts and opinions but after much research I realized that my statements are just my opinion and not a fact. I stated that Shamrock placed my dog Angels life in danger and that statement is not a fact it was only my opinion. I also stated that Shamrock's proposed vaccination protocol is known to cause serious complications with anesthesia or surgical recovery and that also is not a fact but just my opinion. I have absolutely no scientific evidence to support the statement that I made. I also stated that a dog should never receive a vaccine on the day of surgery and that also is just my opinion and I do not have any scientific evidence or proof for this statement. I also stated Shamrock made no attempt to address or resolve my concerns when I was actually offered an appointment to meet with the doctor to discuss my concerns but by that time I was too upset to meet with them and decided to discharge my dog from their care. I also want to acknowledge and thank Dr. Fox for discovering that Angel has something wrong with her heart. Angel was recently referred to a cardiologist and we have discovered she has a heart issue that we will be monitoring closely and if it weren't for Dr. Fox we may not have known about the heart problem that Angel is experiencing. I apologize to Shamrock Animal Hospital and I once again am very grateful for Dr. Fox.

I brought my dog here for a tumor removal surgery. Instead of removing the full tumor I was paying…read morefor, the vet decided to only remove part of it--without telling me. This aggravated the tumor, and it rapidly got worse. The wound was never properly closed, and my dog bled to death two weeks later. After the surgery, I saw two specialists who both had harsh criticism about the surgical site and wanted to do a revision surgery immediately--but by then it was too late. When I asked for a refund, they refused and showed zero accountability or compassion. I would never trust them with another pet. Please think twice before bringing your animal here.

I also must add, his personnel are very attentive and care about you and your fur babies I have referred a few neighbors to you as well. Thank you Dr Merritt and staff for being there for me when I needed your care.

​Finding a vet you can actually trust is stressful, but the moment you walk into Mount Dora Vet…read moreHospital, that anxiety disappears. The facility is clean, calm, and organized--which is a miracle considering how busy they stay. They've managed to maintain that "small-town" friendly feel while providing top-tier medical care. Dr. Tony is the G.O.A.T. - ​I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Tony. I have five dogs, and he is quite literally the only person I trust with their lives. Whether it's a routine check-up, a scary emergency, or a complex health issue, Dr. Tony approaches every case with a mix of brilliant expertise and genuine compassion. ​He doesn't just treat the animals; he takes the time to explain everything to the humans, too. He never rushes us out the door, and you can tell he truly loves what he does. Having five very different personalities in my dog pack, I appreciate how he tailors his approach to each one of them.

My cat wound up having coronavirus that can turn deadly, and they acted like, oh well. They sliced her open for no reason, or I should say for $4,000, and my cat still is not healed.

I have been going to Lake Vet Clinic for many years, and I am genuinely disappointed with how…read morethings have changed since they became more corporate. I normally do not write negative reviews, but my experiences have been consistently frustrating, and today was the last straw. Back in November, I brought my dog in for his phenobarbital bloodwork, and I was told multiple different instructions; first that it had to be done at a certain time, then that I had to bring him back hours later. As a healthcare provider with a demanding schedule, this created unnecessary disruption, but I still tried to be understanding. Today, I arrived for another scheduled appointment, only to be told after sitting there from 8:06 to 8:45 that he did not actually need his phenobarbital levels checked until next month. If that was the case, why did the front desk schedule the appointment in the first place? My time, energy, and travel should not be wasted due to internal miscommunication. To make matters worse, I was also told today that my dog had not had his annual labs since 2023. That shocked me because I have been coming here consistently, and no one has ever mentioned this before. Hearing that in 2026 makes me question how closely they have actually been monitoring his care. If they are at "full capacity" or overwhelmed, then clients deserve transparency and not to discover years later that something so basic was overlooked. What pushed this experience into unacceptable territory was the manager's response. Instead of approaching the situation as professional an educational opportunity or even showing concern, his posture and body language made it clear he did not care. No ownership. He simply said that if we're "not lining up," maybe I should find another vet. I have never encountered an office manager so dismissive of legitimate questions and concerns. If this is how issues are addressed, I can only imagine how many other clients are dealing with the same inconsistencies. Veterinary care should be grounded in communication, accuracy, and genuine compassion for both the animals and their owners. The lack of consistency here makes you question the level of attention being paid to diagnoses and treatment. It is unacceptable and deeply disappointing for a clinic I trusted for so many years.
