“Dr. Gardner and his staff are wonderful I adopted a dog that was abused mentally and physically. She has a lot of issues with trust and anxieties. They have been helping me to get her the right medication‘s to help her through her time of need and me as well and they’re so patient and understanding about her anxieties usually takes me 15 minutes to get her in door. And they just patiently wait they’re really wonderful anyone that’s having their animals treated there know what I’m talking about my hats off to you and your staff. God bless them all.“

I like his system of dropping off pet early and picking up later.“
“Dr. McLaughlin truly cares about his clients and making sure their fur babies are taken care of.“
“I took my fear aggressive 80+ lb Sheepadoodle in for the first time for a travel Health Certificate. They were patient, professional and friendly. They also caught a vital mistake on some paperwork and we were able to correct in time to get everything sent to USDA for final step to make our trip to France this week.“
“Dedicated employees and volunteers making a huge impact on the feral cat community. Thank you all so much for the work you do!“

“Thank you for always getting us in for a visit when we need one! Wesley feels super cared for! ?“
“This is hands down the most kind and caring veterinary clinic I have ever been to. The Dr explained in great depth the details of our concern and followed up with helpful information. Both of the women that worked behind the desk were extremely personable and they made what would have been a hard visit a much more enjoyable one with their friendly nature and their caring understanding.
We will definitely be back for any of our furry and scaly families needs!“
“We have been a client of Dr. Maus ever since we moved to Nokomis three years ago. Dr. Maus is a very compassionate person who takes a personal interest in your pet. Recently we had to make the difficult decision to put our dog Misty down after 15 years. The staff were excellent and very caring. Thank you Dr. Maus for your great work. If and when we get another pet Ark Animal Hospital will be our go to for vet service.“
“The nurse who checked Stryker in was amazing. Personable knowledgeable and sweet. She was actually waiting for me when I walked in and was great all the way thru the appointment. In General this place is amazing because they are so efficient... zero waiting time and solid. The doctor was also amazing ...got right in the floor with Stryker ... was totally knowledgeable and lovely. I went in for a mild illness and just wanted reassurance that he would be ok and they were excellent in offering me everything plus the kitchen sink but also not forcing it.“
“I have been going to Forest Lakes Animal Clinic for years with the dogs we have had and our cat. They Always have fit us into their schedule with emergencies and regular visits. The Veterinarians are all Wonderful as well as the Staff!“

“My cat had a horrible infection and wasn’t likely to survive but the staff and doctors there worked diligently and patiently to save her . I’m forever grateful . Great place with an amazing knowledgeable staff ❤️“
“I have been using this Veterinary clinic for about 3 years. I have 2 kitties and they both have been going here since birth. The staff is wonderful and caring! I don't plan on changing veterinarians anytime soon.“
“Dr G is the BEST vet. We would not take our pets anywhere else. Lynne and Laura are also amazing and easy to coordinate with. We love RED FOX INSTITUTE!“
“5 stars for sure .... I had a very sick cat with what turned out to be a hefty infection and attempted to find a practice that would take us on short notice. Although initially the next available appointment was 2 days away, office person Kat called me within a few hours of making the appointment to have me come in later today rather than wait for the original appointment due to the situation. She expressed compassion and concern for both my cat and myself. Thank you Kat for advocating for us!“
“We have been taking our animals there for years. Very friendly and trust worthy. Great staff and atmosphere“
“Staff is always friendly and caring. Very personable once they get to know you! Very good with the animals. I live in NorthPort and drive to Venice for their care!!
Love the vet, too!!! ??“
“It’s been one year …. and I’m finally now able to write about the amazing compassion, love and Kindness the doctors and staffs showed to our two beloved furry kids. They’re in puppy heaven now but when they were alive, the care they received at this clinic made me feel like I did a great job as mommy by bringing them here. On behalf of Kokoa and Daisee and the Lum family! Thank you!!!“
“Thanks a lot for your help and professionalism. Our Lisa is healthy thanks to you. Below are her photos taken three months apart.
The clinic is very clean, the staff is friendly and professional.
Highly recommended this place if you need any veterinary help or advice“
“Dr. Tudin is the only veterinarian that I trust (and I have used several). I have been bringing my pets to his office for over 30 years. It is approximately 30 minutes from my home, but worth the drive because Dr. Tudin and his office staff are kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy. Dr. Tudin only tests and prescribes medications that are necessary for the treatment of your pet. His front office staff have even gone above and beyond by making sure I could get a prescription dog food from a different veterinarians office closer to my home for convenience. I feel lucky to have a veterinarian I can trust in the area!“
“Dr. Rand is amazing and holistic is the way to go!! He has combined his knowledge of conventional and holistic care that results in "miracles". His treatment techniques have given me extra time with my precious babies, when other conventional veterinarians told me nothing could be done. He goes by the motto, "Where there's life, there's hope." He truly cares about his patient's and their humans. When he feels that nothing else can be done, he will let you know.“
“We have been clients of Best Friends for 4 years. I am so grateful we found this office. They provide excellent primary care for our two small dogs, and have served us tirelessly during emergencies. Most recently, despite the pandemic disruptions, they squeezed in my girl, did some sophisticated testing, and called me repeatedly to discuss the plan. If I could give them 10 stars for kindness, skill and communication, I would. Thank you Best Friends!“
“Dr. Joelle has a great pet-side manner!Really appreciate the time and I think she fixed our 15 year old pup!“
“I came here for the first time on a very sad day. The day I had to put my first dog down. Everyone that worked there was beyond kind and understanding of such a heartbreaking moment in my life. They were kind and passionate in explaining the procedure, as well as allowing me as much time as I needed to say goodbye. Which, I'll be honest, I took my time, it was so hard to leave that room. When his ashes came back it was in the most beautiful packaging, in a hand carved wooden box. Such a beautiful sentiment to losing such an important part of my life. Thank you for being so kind on one of my worst days, your kindness will live with me forever.“
“Friendly, knowledgeable, informative and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Nelson to anyone.“
