Was going there sincetge early 2000's and always saw my dog right away if needed. 2+ years ago my dog started coughing real bad, called them was told can't be seen for 2 weeks, immediately called anither vet and they saw him immediately, turns out was his heart, they put him on pills and he is still with me at 13, if I had waited for 2 weeks with the Animal Clinic he would not be here today. Even one of their best vets left as all the corporation cared about is $$ and have vet do unnecessary tests. AVOID the Animal Clinic, go elsewhere.

The key highlights of the visit were that it was our first visit here and they didn't even bother to have a discussion about my two cats' history or background, they immediately started trying to give services that were not needed, and the biggest fail for them was that they don't examine the animals where you can even see what they're doing. And not only did they take the animals to the room, they didn't even give any paperwork of what was done. They also wanted to charge me several hundred dollars to sedate my declawed cat, that is basically a giant teddy bear and has literally never attempted to hurt another thing in his life. (Granted I know he's not on his best behavior at the vet, but if they'd let me be with him or did anything proactive to make him comfortable, he wouldn't have been as difficult.) Every concern I mentioned came with a sales pitch for some random product without any scientific discussion of the problem. I don't mind paying for anything that my cats may need, but the aggressive sales tactics here are so transparent and inappropriate. I left with tons of product flyers, but no invoice or medical record of what just occurred. Someone posted about this office on facebook and I feel like it sums up the experience pretty well in saying that I felt more like I was buying a car than taking my animal to a medical appointment with all of the aggressive upselling and product promotion. This place wasted my money and my time. I still ended up needing to take my cats to another vet that felt more trustworthy and nurturing.

Unfortunately I have to go here many times! Just 3 days ago,…read moremy little dog got bit by a Pygmy Rattlesnake! They are always so polite and work as hard as they can to help every animal that comes in. Service is based on severity of an animals condition, same as a human hospital. Some people get so mad because they have to wait, sometimes for hours. But take a minute to think about it. If you have a pet that was hit by a car and needed immediate medical attention, would YOU want to wait until it was your turn! While watching them help another animal that maybe had a broken leg. I GET IT, as an avid pet owner who loves her dogs, no one wants them to be in pain! I have gone there with a life emergency and was seen right away with surgery required. Other times I have had to wait for hours. I am good with it either way! Folks complain about the cost, yep, it's expensive but again, how much does it cost to go to the emergency room for humans? Plus, most of the people that work here also work at regular vet locations. Do I recommend them? You bet I do!!

She was almost 15 and had traveled with us across the United States visiting over 36 states. The staff is so understanding and explains everything while scheduling and again in the office. They gave us as much time as we wanted to be with her. They gave her treats (she was even given her first taste of chocolate). I was able to hold her the entire time and stay with her afterwards until I was ready to go. This is not at all anything we wanted to have to do but know she didn't suffer and won't have to any longer. They also take care of cremation if that's what you want. Thank you for making this extremely difficult as possible. I highly recommend this facility and know when we feel we can possibly think of another fur baby we will use them for our veterinarian services.

After they had attended to my pug they wanted payment to which I went to write a check and then informed me they don't take checks.

I was told I could pay with a CC but I don't use credit cards now that I'm retired nor was it made clear to me that checks weren't allowed. I had used that vet since moving to Port Charlotte in 2018 but the business was sold and under new ownership. My money wasn't good enough for them and now they won't get anymore of my business and I own 6 dogs and a cat. Terrible experience and I would advise anyone who has standards not to use them.
