Matanzas River Animal Hospital

Recently had to bring my dachshund here last minute and the staff here was extremely nice and helpful to seeing my dog. They took very good care of "Snoopy" and was treated and diagnosed correctly as Snoopy has recovered very well. Thanks so much for your care.

Dr. Nicholas and the vet techs who assisted were so wonderful with my boy, Hopper. We came in as a new patient after an emergency surgery over Memorial Day Weekend at SARVEC. We scheduled him for the next week to check out his incision and have an exam done. Dr. Nicholas was so gentle and calm with Hopper, who was a bit nervous in the new environment. We ended up just removing his staples in the exam room while we all laid on the floor with him to keep him calm and happy. They even explained everything to my 4 year old daughter, so she understood what was happening and didn't get upset. We are very happy with the care we received, and they are now our primary vet.

(Update : I received a nice sympathy card 5 weeks later. ) No compassion for my pup or his mom. My awesome handsome Markus passed at home on 8/4/25. Their office were notified by Jax Pet Funeral home (which the owner criticized me in a post below and called me demanding...) they could not pick him up on Monday suggested to drop Markus at the clinic & frozen til they pick him up on Thursday and cremation would not take place til the next Sunday). I could not bear the thought to keep him in a freezer for a week (I choose to kept my loving companion home, and drove him the next day to the very compassionate Watts funeral home in Palatka for a dignified service & private cremation. After I got myself together I called back to find out if they got my text that Markus heart gave out and di

Peta gave my buddy scabies. We live on a sailboat and this was our port of call after Norfolk. They got the groot in the next day! They gave use a private room kept him close and made sure we had the problem fixed before he sailed for the Bahamas. On our return after 6 months they had his heart worm and anxiety meds filled. We got into rough weather and he no longer likes heavy weather sailing. Thank you so much! In 3 years this is the only vet we have seen twice!

We transferred all our vet care needs here for our dogs and cats after not being happy with another vet practice in the area. This is a beautiful modern facility with plenty of room, boarding, etc and right off US1 and close to everything here. It's easy to get appointments and they've worked us in when needed for immediate care needs. The staff is GREAT and super helpful. We've met Dr. Wells and Dr. Nicholas and they are both very helpful and extremely competent. They take time with you and your pet and go beyond what we ever expected. We feel very happy that Matanzas River is our new home for great pet care!
