Calusa Veterinary Center

I couldn’t have been more confident leaving my Westie here. It was the first time he’s been away from us for 13 years. Dr Courtney Glotzner was amazing!!! She made me feel that she would take the best care of my baby and she did. Dr Rodriquez was also helpful. The whole staff is kind and knowledgeable. Below my baby before and then 24 hours later. Thank you so much

Dr. D’Ortona is an exceptional veterinarian, and I am deeply grateful for the care he provided to my puppy, Leo. From the very beginning, he was thorough, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain Leo’s condition clearly, reviewed prior treatment carefully, and approached everything with both precision and compassion. What stood out most was his integrity and attentiveness. He didn’t rush decisions, didn’t dismiss concerns, and made sure Leo’s comfort, safety, and long-term outcome were always the priority. In a situation that was emotionally stressful as a pet parent, Dr. D’Ortona brought clarity, reassurance, and trust back into the process. Leo’s recovery and progress speak volumes about the quality of care he received. I truly felt that my puppy was in expert hand

I’ve been using Colusa for over 10 years, whether boarding my dogs or after hour emergencies. They have always treated me with the most kindness and empathy. After my recent emergency, I have decided to become a regular.

They saved my dogs life. He would have died from congestive heart failure. They acted right away and we saw immediate relief within 15 mins. They let me come and visit my dog in the oxygen chamber as many times as I wanted while he was there (2 days). Very involved, caring staff. I now have a second chance with my dog during his golden years. Forever grateful.

I had to bring my dog Journie into Calusa for an emergency visit, and Dr. Paul was absolutely incredible. It was a very scary situation — her previously benign leg cyst ruptured suddenly, there was significant bleeding and infection, and she spiked a high fever. From the moment I arrived, Dr. Paul was calm, compassionate, and extremely thorough. He took the time to explain everything clearly, flushed and treated the wound carefully, wrapped her leg securely, and made sure we left with a solid plan and the appropriate medications. What stood out most was how steady and reassuring he was during a moment that felt overwhelming for me. He treated Journie with such kindness and handled the situation with both urgency and care. As a pet parent, that meant everything. I am so grateful for the
