Forever vets is great in the fact that they are always available to take care of my furry friends. Vets, vet techs and staff are all amazing to deal with and I have no issues. Clean facilities and timely service. My issue is with pricing and cost of everything. It always seems to be inflated despite being a repeat customer and having the yearly plan. Overall good experiences though! read more

Forever Vets - My dog with his little paw bandaged after he hurt himself! - Veterinarians Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My dog loves going to camp here. They pay special attention to his needs, make sure he's in the right play group and send him home happy and worn out. Love their outdoor area and pool. It's clean, doesn't smell like cleaners, staff is terrific. read more

This company mistreated my dog during a grooming appointment yesterday and he has been limping since. The vet refused to see my dog after. Trash people. read more

This place is horrible. They don't care about the animals, they care about your wallet When I took my 5 month old kitten, she had consistent diarrhea, lethargic, and was barely eating her food. The doctor didn't have a game plan or nothing to figure out what's wrong, spent nearly 1k and took out a scratchpay loan for blood work and X-rays and they still couldn't figure out what's wrong. The next day visited them, again were asking me to pay large amounts for them to do the same blood work and X-ray that they have already done previously. Didn't give me any medication for her low vital at all. I've taken my kitten to a new vet, coastal vets on beach and Hodges, and now my kitten is so lethargic the vet told me that if these antibiotic they prescribed doesn't make her better, I'd have to put her down. Forever vets is a joke and I'm blaming them for the reason my kitten is this sick now. I feel like if I went to any other vet when all of this happen, this might have been prevented. Keep my kitten in your prayers and stay away from this unprofessional establishment read more

The vet office put my account into collections for almost $500 for services I my dog never received. Don't trust them with your pet or your money. read more

The doctors are great, the one figured out the issue with my one dog that no other vet thought to check. The techs on the other hands- give misleading and incorrect information especially when it comes to the wellness plan that they offer. read more

These people are dishonest and awful to work with! After paying over $700 for just a check up for two dogs they called me and said I owed more money. I let them know I will not be paying anymore money unless I see a bill for what it's for. I already think they over charged for the annual visit giving them tests they didn't need. They told me no manager would be getting back to me and that they would send me to collections. I would rather my credit be ruined for $50 than give these crooks any more money! read more

I take my puppy here we love dr Bishop. We were sold on the wellness plan but things just seem to be getting more and more expensive every visit. I'm sad because I really like them. . I liked the staff they are super friendly & the facility is very clean and it's close by where I stay when I'm In town. I really don't want to have to search for another place but if I continue to see the price hike up then I will have no choice to move on unfortunately. read more

Money Money money !!!! They have the cheapest fee for just being seen but it's because they'll charge you four digits for ANYTHING !!! I do not recommend taking your pets to this emergency vet !! My cat had a UTI (what I thought was a blockage), told me it must be treated by them right then and it would cost over $1300. They told me three days and he would be okay but the UTI was never fully treated. read more

We cannot say enough great things about Forever Vets Baymeadows! We started taking our dog "Buddy" there over 10 years ago when we moved to this side of town. Dr. G. and his fantastic team consistently took excellent care of him. Buddy was a small Shi-Malt (Shih Tzu-Maltese); they always knew his breed well and exactly what he needed. Unfortunately, after we boarded him at Camp Bow Wow the week before Christmas, he got sick while there, and they did not let us know. The sad thing is that CBW and FV share the same parking lot, and they would have come and picked him up had they known he was sick. We were only gone for 7 days, and by the time we got home, he had gone from being a healthy dog to so ill that we had to let him go to doggie heaven. The staff at FV was our saving grace, helping us make Buddy comfortable and comforting my husband and me. We cried like two babies. We always knew the day would come when we would lose him, and it would be hard; we didn't realize it would be this hard. I am teary-eyed as I write this because I want to give a hug to every employee we have encountered over the years and thank them for their kindness and expertise in caring for our beloved Buddy. When we find our next pet, there is no doubt that we will use Forever Vets. We have used the Tinseltown location a few times, and it is equally excellent. May God Bless, and Thank You for your loving kindness to Buddy and his parents...Mike & Nancy read more

I have been a customer of Forever vets for over 5 years, we have a membership for each of our dogs. It covers so much more than our pet insurance did ... our pet insurance was a waste of money. This is by far a better option for us. Covers office visits annual shots a bonus teeth cleaning or spay and neuter. We recently had to put down our Mastiff Bullwinkle. The vet was so good with us .. we were a mess and just wanted to bring our baby home. But after talking and understanding what was wrong with him it was the best thing we could have done for him. They are so caring and understanding and not judgemental. They sent us flowers and a card. it was so sweet and touching they really do care. We already placed a deposit on a new Mastiff we are binging home in September and he will also be a part of the forever vet family. read more

My dog has been a patient at Forever Vets since his adoption in 2019. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis within days of bringing him home. He had a surgery in 2022 & again two weeks ago for a bladder stone. Dr. galipalli took care of my dog for the pancreatitis & did his 2022 surgery. Dr. Aishwarya did his surgery two weeks ago & each event was done with knowledge & care & my dog is back to his happy, friendly self which I am so thankful to see. This veterinary clinic is great. read more

I agree with Jullin. this place is horrible and a rip off. They care about their wallets only. I took my pet to them for an ear infection. I found out that the office visit is originally 65.00$ but they tack on a disposal fee of $5.00 for every pet that enters the office for treatment, making the office visit $70.00. I inquired about the disposal fee, I was told the disposal fee is for what ever they have to dispose of after treating your pet, be it a bandage or bandaid. Well i was charge for disposal of hair and ear wax from my dogs ear. I asked for the little white bandage with the hairs and two pieces of ear wax about the size of an infant toenail clipping, saying I will dispose of it myself, but still charged. I brought my pet in for an ear infection. They insisted he needed both ears clean to get rid of wax and to pull hair from his ears. I told them they my dog had just been groomed and ears cleaned, leaving no wax or hair build up, also stating that his ears are cleaned as needed as I cleaned his ears last week. I was told the medicine would not work properly if I did not have the ears cleans and pluck of hair. I wish I could upload a pictute of the hair and ear wax removed, almost minnimal to nothing, but charged $88.00 for both procedures. $24.00 for an ear ointment and the ear swab exam $46.23. My total price was $229.00. i asked what about his his side as he was itching and had scratch some hair off his side from scratching. I was told to rub some ear ointment on it......WTF. My appointment was at 1:30, they did not finsh until 3:30.......My dog came out shaking his head worst than before he went in. read more

I wish I could give them 0 stars. First-staff seems like they are train to collect payment asap, fake smiles and just show up to clock in and clock out. second-Don't sign up for their scam pet insurance/coverage. you don't get nothing besides a insane contract and impossible to cancel policy. they contact me about the renewal and I said I don't want to renew. they never mentioned I needed to submit a written request!!!! since that did not happen they want me to pay $560 cancellation fee, even when I told them when they called to not auto renew since I am not going to use it anymore coverage sucks also, go lemonade or truepanion, where its worth what you pay and they care for you at the end. read more

real review NOT fake!! this is your warning. They do not care about your animals. They care about wellness plans you love your pets. We have been going there for years and now the new vets do not care and they push their service plan. they hurt our dogs and still try to charge us to get out of the plan. upon having multiple ear infections and yeast problems, they still try to medicate with medication that says not do not give to your dog if your dog underlying issues that's causing more problems. They also recently shaved off my other dogs whiskers completely. He came back, shivering and shaky, and had issues for days now realizing my dog would not have these issues if they hadn't done I tried to reach out to them and to no avail they do not care about fixing the problem or doing what's right by your pet just getting you to come and keep me medicating so they can keep getting a paycheck. If you love your pets, do not go here. Try the Humane Society low cost shots and wellness plan. read more

My dog has been lethargic for about 6 weeks. I have literally spent @ least 1k on top of his plan not including medication to figure out what's going on with him. X-rays blood work and antibiotics. What's next more blood work or an ultrasound. If my dog is dying don't prolong my agony or his I spend all my waking time worrying about him. read more

I signed up for a health plan for my cat the location on Riverside Forever vet. It cost me $35.00 every month and $75.00 membership fee in June 2023. I still left out there paying more because of extra services. March I took my Sottish Fold Cat to get groomed . They said the cost would be $67.00. When I picked her up at 4:00 she said $400 was my bill.... I was shocked !! After asking why ??? It costed me total of $267.00 after it was said and done Because they said shoots and sedation $50 to knock her out $50 to wake her up... on and on. The worst experience was after getting home when I first saw her out of her carrier, She was totally shaved except her head and tail !! I about died to see my beautiful cat looked like a homeless cat. She was not shaved evenly and her pause still had hair in between. So I called to cancel the mostly plan and they told me I still let me I owed $140 cause I had 3 months left. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. My dog passed away in June and I paid for all of his bills then and there. I never leave a balance with any business. I have not received a single call, letter, email from them regarding anything let alone a debt? It is now November and I receive a letter stating I am in collections from a third party??? They sold my information to a third party to collect on "supposed debt" equaling up to $1K. I do not owe Forever Vets a single dime. I have receipts to prove it. Incredibly sketchy and dishonest business practices. I tried to call in to the Forever Vets billing department to see what charges they were talking about but they state they did not have my account anymore. Like huh?? So how would you know what charges you are accusing me off???? Could not provide a single piece of information to help me. Do not take your loved one here, they are dismissive, rude, dishonest and scheming. read more

My cat was acting very lethargic, I called and the customer service Representative who was extremely nice and made an appointment for me to come right in The sad news was that he had an abdominal Mass and they offered a choice of pain medication or euthanasia. I knew I did not want to watch him slowly deteriorate so I chose the latter. It was difficult to say goodbye they gave me a few minutes alone with him or as long as I needed. The cost was very reasonable; everyone was extremely nice I would highly recommend read more

I used this Vet since they only had one location. They used to be caring and attentive. They only focused on getting your fur baby well. Now? They couldn't care less. You and your pet are no more a concern than anything. It's absolutely horrible! We used them so long that they knew our car and pets. Dr G was a good man at one time. Not anymore. Please if you want your pets to have a fighting chance. Find ANYWHERE but here. read more

All I can say is the receptionists were very friendly but other than that, I'm not happy with this place and its not trustworthy! I only came here because at the time, I just moved to Jacksonville, and I had no idea where anything was and I used to live right down the street from here. I was calling around and nobody took in exotics but I was told this place did. I worried about my snake that was having trouble breathing. I've been fighting a charge with this company for months. I arrived at this place on 03/25/2018. Paid roughly $240 for the service. Then MONTHS LATER, September 18, 2018 there was something going on with my credit. $50 pops up in my collections. Now I did not receive a single letter in the mail stating I owe any money or even a phone call so for this to pop up randomly on my credit is bs. I ended up calling immediately after seeing that and spoke to one of the receptionists I'm assuming. They seemed to have no idea what it was, had me on hold etc etc. I told them I had the receipt for what was made on the original date. I ended up coming in a few days later to speak to a manager or someone higher up and they couldn't even understand why $50 was being charged. I showed them my receipt and I showed them my billing statements. Here we are almost August 2019 and nobody has done anything to help me and I've tried disputing this charge multiple times and it keeps getting denied. Now Aug 2020 and no one seems to give a fuck. It's so petty but it's on my credit. Fuck this place. read more

I have a 3 month old puppy. Went to Forever Vets to inquire about what's my dog needs to get done. They wouldn't give me a answer, all they wanted to do is setup a appointment. They just said i will be told during the first visit. I asked how much will the first visit be, they would not give me a price but after repeatedly asking, Then they said the first visit is $65 and they will give me pricing then. I asked them why do I have to pay $65 just to find out how much vaccinations cost, they instead tried to push me on a puppy plan. After insisting multiple times, the employee just said "we are not allowed to give individual pricing". All I'm trying to do is shop around for the best deals in town. Very unhelpful. Not a good experience for the first time going to Forever Vets. I went 2 miles down the road to the next animal hospital and they gave me a break down of each individual price. They also went over the puppy plans and how much I'll save. Needless to say I signed up with them because they were helpful and detailed unlike Forever Vets. read more

Amazing experience with Dr. Pritchard and all technicians. Our recently adopted dog is being treated for extremely advanced heartworm disease and it's a long journey of multiple appointments, injections and medications. The staff has been so helpful, nice and patient with us and our pup. Makes the stressful process so much easier for all of us and I couldn't be more grateful! read more

I have to believe this business was bought out by a corporation and it's all about driving up the price, not the care of the animal. Privately owned vet offices are becoming a thing of the past. That should be your first question when looking for a vet. Shameful. read more

Do you not get their wellness plan? They are horrible and will charge you if you do not like their services or hurt their animal to get out of it. We have been going for seven years and there is absolutely no loyalty. Your care for our pets subscribing unnecessary medications to my dog when she has constant yeast infections and ear infections not treated properly come to find out if she wasn't taking this she would not have an issue. They also shaved my dog completely down with whiskers, and all the dog was shaking and ill when returned upon taking my dog to a second vet I was told she should not be on this harsh medication as well and whiskers should not be trimmed unless for a medical need as these are part of the dogs, confidence and sensory receptors. They never tried to figure out how to actually treat her other than to have her keep coming back so they can keep making money from us of the cash cow business model do not sign up and go here. read more

Zero stars Don't care about anything else but jacking Your bill up gave me four different proposals. They wanted to charge $250 for a bandage most ridiculous place I've ever been to. read more

They treated me with respect and took care of my cat quickly. Nothing special. Not cheap not expensive

At around 7pm on a weeknight I found my cat not feeling well. I called and they were able to see her the next morning. Even better I was able to drop her off before work and pick her up in my way home so I didn't have to take time off. They have great office hours which really work for me. Even open on the weekends! Also, the vet makes sure to talk to you and make sure you have no unanswered questions. It turns out my cat had a UTI. They suggested a wellness plan and I am grateful they did. At any vet it is incredibly expensive to do the urine test on top of the office visit cost and antibiotics. I pay less than 30 a month and my cat was on the mend. They also asked if I could drop her off the next day and they would do a teeth cleaning. She was overdue for one since she hadn't had one before. They asked to do it while she was on the antibiotics for the UTI so I wouldn't have to pay for antibiotics first. That saved me money!! Especially because my very smart cat won't take a pill so she gets injections. They send a monthly email to remind me of my wellness plan payment which I appreciate. I had done a wellness plan at pet smart for my other pet and they never send a reminder, the monthly payment was more and they wouldn't do a teeth for at least three months after you start the plan. The only reason I am knocking off a star is because the second morning I went to drop off my cat, the lady at the front desk was leaving to walk a dog, never told me she worked there and I had to wait 15 minutes for her to return. I called while I was standing there and there was no one else to answer a phone. That disappointed me and she never apologized. Everyone else was great. Also, the vet suggested some oil for my cat for her dry skin, I said I found it on amazon cheaper and they price matched it so I could have it that day. Worked for me and for my cats skin! read more

Forever Vets are great in some ways and not great in others. The Wellness Plans are the biggest joke! The Puppy Wellness Plan and Teeth Cleaning Plans are NOT FREE as stated in the plans. You pay almost $50 a month and you have to question are they worth it? We took our puppy in over the weekend to get spayed. Two weeks prior, I went over the quote with the vet technician, and she said that the procedure about $86. Read the quotes VERY carefully and make them changes the quotes right there before you leave with the changes that were talked about! Forever Vets will nickel and dime you for everything. The spay and neutering for the Puppy Wellness is NOT all in inclusive. Things like laser therapy for the wound and prescription medications during and after procedure are NOT included. We ended up paying over $170 for the procedure even though we are on the Puppy Wellness Plan. They tried to charge us for a cone of shame even though I told them we had a recover suit for our puppy. Granted $45 of that was the microchip. Everything else should have been covered!!!! Earlier this month, we our other dog in for her teeth cleaning. Forever Vets tried to charge us again for the microchip that we paid for when she was spayed. Make sure you look over the quote/bill very carefully!! Their quotes are very misleading!!! They need have a recommendation/required column with a price at the bottom for pain meds and laser therapy and an elective column for nail trims, anal expressing, etc. We have been going to Forever Vets for years. However, in the last few years, we have noticed that accounting/billing has gone downhill. Everything is nickeled and dimed. There was a period of time that the turnover of veterinarians every few months. We have Dr. Dupree now and he is a great veterinarian. read more

My five star rating is based upon my outstanding customer centered service I received and grooming qualities delivered by Renee. I trust her implicitly with my dogs because of her commitment and dedication to quality services and for her demonstrated love of her "customers." The two young ladies who were at the customer service desk as I checked out were outstanding. They were friendly, greeted me with a smile, and already knew who I was because of the dogs. Overall I can never recommend Renee enough for her grooming capabilities. read more

This veterinarian location and it's staff were a HUGE blessing to me and my pet. This is not my usual vet. My usual vet was closed. Dr. Dupree and Anika (both amazing!) took care of us quickly and compassionately. based on this experience with them, I would recommend this location and Dr. Dupree without hesitation. THANK YOU! read more

Forever Vets - My dog: Bonnie - Veterinarians Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Dr Lipp is THE BEST!!! I have a wonderful dog who is extremely fearful of the vet, so he is hardly a model patient. He turns into a total maniac, which is extra challenging to deal with bc of his size (100lbs), and I'm sure scary for the vets/techs. Dr Lipp is the first vet we have seen who actually understands him and is calm/patient enough to handle it. While Jack is still terrified of the vet, she treats him with kindness and respect and helps me to not feel so stressed about it as well. I absolutely love her and am beyond thankful to have found her. Every one of the techs and staff at the front desk have also been wonderful and understanding of what's going on. Aside from dealing with my fearful pup, they are always very clear about all costs, are very reasonably priced, and have great flexibility with appt times. I love, love, LOVE them! read more

Forever Vets - Veterinarians Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My primary problem with them, was that their back office systems just did not work. My wife and I have two different Wellness Plan accounts with them for our individual animals. They would habitually contact one about the others animals, and appointments. We would show up for appointments that they would notify us the night before, only for us to be on site and they have no record of our appointment..... on either account! Then, when they had issues with my wife account, they started billing my cards without either one of our authorizations. I don't know if this is illegal or not, but I do know it's highly unethical. We have been trying for 4 months to get them to get this fixed with no results. Beware of these Wellness Plans by the way. These are a thinly veiled scheme for getting more money out of your wallet on every visit. Okay you say a little back office issue is no problem if they actually do a good job with my pet's right? Recently, they had been treating my German Shepherd for a golf ball size hematoma that grew inside her ear. As their recommendation was to let the hematomah drain itself naturally, it has now solidified and manifested itself into a miniature cauliflower ear. Now, this champion line GSD has a permanently deformed ear to show for it. So, now I want to cancel my wellness plans in order to find a more competent provider and they are threatening to take me to collections! The frontline people there do seem to care about the health and well-being of the animals, but it's the people that actually make the decisions that seem to have a deaf ear to customer expectations. read more

I had been seeing the same vet for my dogs entire life, until I felt I needed a second opinion when told that he possibly needed surgery. I found Forever Vets by asking around, and he was given X-rays that same day, with a Clean bill of health. That was last year and we are still happy customers. While he may not LIKE going to the vet, he knows they will be nice to him, and care about his health. Maybe its just me that knows that..he sure wags his tail though! The reception area and treatment rooms are all clean and welcoming. The staff are insanely friendly, and the pricing is reasonable to me. They offer care plans to save some money as well. I know that his annual visit will be quick and if I have questions, they are patient and provide all the information you may need. I also know that if he were to become sick or injured, they would be right there to help us then too. Thanks Forever Vets! read more

We took our 15 year Aussie mix girl to Forever Vets for her shots and something for pain. She's having trouble getting up and down. Her hind legs and hips are weak. Everyone was nice, professional and kind. Due to the Corvid-19, we couldn't go in with her and waited in our truck. They gave us updates periodically. We had the grooming side give her a bath since my husband and I are seniors too. The groomer was also kind with her. Petsmart would no longer groom her because she is so old. Old ladies need baths too! Now this morning, one of our cats is sneezing and lethargic. There is no doubt we will be taking him to Forever Vets as soon as they open. Our regular vet retired and sold his practice, so it is such a relief to find this place. I recommend them with confidence. read more

My husband and I are extremely disappointed in the grooming of both our Shih Tzu's, Sammie and Max, done by Renee today, 3 3 2020. They were supposed to be both groomed to be fluffy and even cut, instead they were both groomed to lQQk like they were both butchered and chopped up like they were both done as a rush!!! Never, ever again will we allow Sammie and Max to be groomed by this location. To think we were charged $60 for each of our babies. read more

Please take the time to read this review - The "technicians" that are hired at this hospital are hired with extremely little, to no experience whatsoever and are paid minimum wage. A select few of the doctors that rotate in and out of this location are knowledgeable and compassionate about your animals, however, our animals care fall under the hands of the inexperienced technicians for a vast majority of their visits. The hospital itself is so poorly ran and the unbelievably high employee turn-over rate is proof of that. Please do what's best for your animals and find another hospital with competent employees to look after your pets. read more

Took both my dog and cat here recently. We saw Dr G both times. She's very friendly and nice. Way better than the last place I tried! My only complaint is my cat needs drops for her ears and they were out of the medication. I have called and was placed on hold for 5 and 6 minutes. I finally got thru on another day and they still don't have the drops and I have already been charged for them and it will be a week tomorrow. I'll give it another few days and then I'll ask for a refund. read more
