Myakka River Animal Clinic

I brought a few cats to this clinic. They take good care of animals. They not in a rush, keep cats to monitor their condition and make a call after few days.

Very knowledgeable Doc and staff. Pricing is affordable and doesn't feel like a rip off when checking out. For annual visits, they are always good about letting me know what my dog needs and they don't try to up sell things she doesn't need. When I dropped my dog off to be spayed, I was pretty anxious but the vet tech up front was very reassuring and confident in Dr. Dawn's skills. The Dr. has, on a couple of occasions, taken the time to pull out the pamphlets in med packs and go over the instructions in detail to ensure that they are used correctly. The office doesn't have all the new bells and whistles some other offices have, but when you have personal expertise and knowledge, they aren't needed.

I've been going to Dr Dawn for over 15 years. I started with my first dog Finnegan. She was wonderful to me during his issue with and advanced heart murmur. She also did surgery on Finnegan when he was 4 years old for a fatty tumor in her chest. The detail in her stitches was absolutely remarkable. I find her to be a brilliant doctor. I am now bringing my little rescue dog to her. I think we can disagree when she says that I have a fat Chihuahua. I'm laughing because she tells it like she sees it. You may find her a bit more business. However, her skills are outstanding and I actually get a charge out of her no-nonsense approach.

Focused and professional, you can tell they put the patient first and give realistic expectations. They listen to understand (a skill that many providers lack!) and are open to questions and concerns from very stressed out pet parents (me lol). The office is so cute and cozy, and the unique decor is clearly a collection curated by true animal lovers.
