    !! WARNING!! Absolutely do not take your rabbit here…read more Dr Rivas advertises that she sees "exotic" pets but when she reaches her (very limited) rabbit knowledge, she blames it on lack of facilities. When I went to a different hospital, an actual rabbit specialist with 30 years of experience, they informed me that Dr. Rivas diagnostics were completely wrong and they couldn't understand why she only provided chest x-rays and not skull X-rays, given my rabbits sinus infection. They also wanted to know why Dr. Rivas didn't move forward on the anemia diagnosis that showed in my rabbits bloodwork, considering how deadly it is. Her PCV had dropped from 23 to 8. The vet said it's the worst case of anemia she's ever seen. My rabbit has passed away to due the neglect and inexperience of Lydia Rivas, and this isn't to be taken lightly. The exotic specialist informed me that they are receiving an abundance of malpractice referrals from inexperienced vets and are building a case against them to be stopped. Save yourself the time, heartache, effort and money and go see a dedicated exotic specialist and not Dr Rivas that parades around as a knows-all sees-all. It's also worth pointing out that there was critical testing done at Rivas' office that should have been returned in 3-5 days, that wasn't returned to me for 2 weeks. This office left me on my own to call the lab directly to get results; and Rivas never called me with the results nor did she return my phonecall, she had her tech send me an email. When I called her office to let her know my rabbit passed, I asked her to call me back and she didn't. This person lacks any compassion, which is essential when treating someone's pet that is their family member. You also won't enjoy her condescending nature to say things like, "remember when I said..." Over and over. Rivas: remember when I said my rabbit couldn't breathe, and you're only response was "give her a steam bath"? Even chat GPT knows that a rabbit that can't breathe is a life threatening emergency, but your lack of knowledge prevented you from giving her actual treatment or recommending that I take her to emergency room asap. If you didn't know what to do, you could have asked someone or said "I actually don't know, this rabbit needs a DOCTOR." This was preventable. Incompetent, inexperienced, ego-driven vets are killing our pets with wrong diagnosis and ineffective treatment. Do not spend your money here if you care about your rabbits livelihood. It's difficult for me to remark on cost because I would spend any amount of money to help my animals. However it's worth noting that the day my experience began at Parrish my rabbit had also seen a vet at Keystone Animal Hospital that morning. Yesterday I found out that these two veterinary offices are owned by the same person and operate as "sister offices" sharing vet communication and pet profile information. That day, I was charged by both offices for the same thing. To be clear, I went to keystone first where they charged me for blood work and X-rays, and then that afternoon I went to Parrish where Rivas charged me for the same bloodwork and X-rays. Two offices, that share information, charging the same customer for the same testing, on the same day. This is a huge red flag for me that the doctors most likely get paid on production and that my pets well-being is secondary. So not only did this increase the money I spent, it unnecessarily stressed out my rabbit. Please do not bring your pets here.

    I'm new to Parrish FL and searched online for a Veterinarian for our cat's annual checkup & rabies…read morevax. I saw an advertisement saying the Wellness Animal Hospital just opened on Moccasin Wallow Road in Parrish. So I figured why not give them a try. The lobby was bright & clean. Emma, vet tech, greeted me when I walked in. She knew my cat's name but I may have been the only customer with an appointment at the time, but I was still impressed. When I first walked into the exam room I was shocked at how sterile and unfriendly the room felt. It gave me the feeling of a non-compassionate atmosphere. The exam room had a single cabinet with built-in sink and the exam table folded down from the wall. There were 2 chairs. I love the floor to ceiling window. It made the room bright & allowed for my cat to search for birdies. Perhaps I felt taken aback because where I lived before we took our pets to a Fear Free practice. Perhaps it is because they are a new building. I hope as time goes on they will add some decorations on their walls and some Fear Free practices to help give a more friendly vibe. Will I go back? Absolutely! The veterinarian Dr. Nina Krajewski and her vet tech Emma were fantastic! They took the time to listen to the history of my cat and they took the time to give her a thorough exam. They showed compassion and care. While talking with Dr. Krajewski and Emma, my cat decided to show her distain of being at the vet by pooping in the crate. Emma gladly offered and then cleaned the crate. Thank you Dr. Krajewski and Emma. You are both wonderful and make a great team.

    Very nice and honest vet. Made my dog feel comfortable. Pricing was fair for exam and lab work.read more

They've tapped my cat's chest to stabilize her until she could get to a higher level of care where they would have a kitty cat cardiologist. They fixed up Maverick after he impaled himself in the backyard, still don't know how. Cocoa is the crazy one, she came in with a slight mouth bleed from chewing a toy that wouldn't stop and they found that she had an autoimmune disease causing her to attack and kill every last platelet she had. We are frequent flyers there because Cocoa needs her platelets checked constantly and her medication dose adjusted and they treat her so well. That dog gets so many cuddles there she actually loves going to get her blood drawn. Its her favorite place! She even got a free toy at yesterday's blood draw!

My puppy had diarrhea overnight, i was going out of town that morning. I collected a stool sample prepared to drop off at this vet. At 8:00 i called to let them know what i planned and was told that instead of running the stool sample to see if she needed antibiotics and then see the puppy, they would not run the stool sample unless they examined the dog. This was a puppy who liked to eat things she found outside. i was going out of town for the day. i was unable to take time for a visit. As it turned out, puppy had no more diarrhea. In the "good old days ", i could drop off a stool specimen, they would check it and see if the animal needed antibiotics. They have lost my business, looking for a new vet!

    I'd like to share my wife's cat experience with other cat owners in the Parrish area. Kris is a 10…read moreyear old, 14 lb, long hair mix Maine Coon. My wife discovered a small lump on his right rear legend took him to Dr. Nina's Animal Hospital for a check. On Feb 7th, the Dr removed the benign lump and that part is well. She was charged $492.86 for this but I have no idea if that is normal or high. What someone "decided" to do was cut all of the cat's hair off down to 1/4" to do this procedure which for a cat amounts to being naked for the next 3 or 4 months. Since Feb turned out be cold as usual and we live in a under insulated mid 1986 mobile home, the floors are colder than the upper part , the cat developed a sickness with dry heaves less than 2 weeks after the surgery and was diagnosed with pneumonia on Feb 21st. Kris was taken to Dr Nina's office at 12:30 for diagnosis and was kept for x-rays. My wife as called at 4PM to pick him up at 5 PM which she did. At that point she was charged $836.86 for what that I have not gotten a responce from Dr Nina's office as of yet. My wife was told that this was our fault because the floors are cold. No mention of he no longer had hair to insulate him or that my wife was not offered or advised to get a cat sweater. So it's $836.86 for I am presuming is an x-ray and a shot or two of pneumonia medicine. Does that seem excessive for a 4 hour visit and this treatment or is it just me being ignorant of reality? 2nd review from Nextdoor Dea When my dog passed away at that office I STOPPED GOING THERE! The dog was only 7 yrs old and they failed to do a complete blood panel before surgery. I failed my dog as an owner for not knowing more about the protocol. I am sure he had an underlying issue WE were unaware of....yeah, I have nothing good to say about the place. As for WHAT they charge always have them give you an estimate before accepting any work. VET NEXTDOOR does a great job and excellent work - from X-rays to surgery.

I immediately emailed asking for information since I wasn't too sure how this would work. Rhys, emailed me back about an hour LATER on a weekend with soo much useful information about what possibly might've been going on with my pup, my options, places with addresses, phone numbers to call, youtube videos with more useful information. I truly felt like " Wow they truly care and actually spend the time and effort to help their customers! And I wasn't even one yet! " They told me normally they don't travel to my area which is 34212, but if needed to for extra charge they would, they did give me information of other places by my area that might. I didn't need to use them, or any other place, because my pup ended up passing away. I truly appreciate the time and effort Rhys put in trying to help me and my baby. I hope no one has to go through something that will require a vet go to your home, for an emergency, but if so then you should definitely reach out to vets to you! They truly have a wonderful team who will care about you and your pups!
