Bravo Animal Clinic

I went to bravo Animal Clinic today for our very first time and the experience was great, amazing staff that love to interact with the pets, some of the staff were walking by and stopped to play with Max. Dr Bravo was very professional and caring for his patients . He did a couple of exams and also include a dental cleaning and the price was aceptable.  The decoration is asome, Safari style, you will feel like in Africa, they were a lot of dogs barking at the back but I assume that is normal taking in consideration that is a clinic and that should be a the pet missing they owner due to surgery o stay procedure. If you want to take a good care for your best friend I highly recommend Dr. Bravo clinic. Read Less

I'll start with the good stuff: the receptionists and vet assistants I interacted with at Bravo Animal Clinic were all professional and kind to both me and my dog. While I filled out paper work, a passing vet assistant stopped to say hello, which helped put me AND my pup at ease before his scheduled neutering. I also love that they've partnered with Paws 4 You adoption center, where we rescued our pup, to provide neutering services to all their adopted animals. That partnership assured me that this was a place we could trust with neutering our baby, along with their great reviews. While he was there, I received phone updates both when he was going into surgery and when he was ready to go home. Everyone I spoke to was very kind. My baby came home in once piece and is recovering well. However, I will sadly NOT be recommending this place to friends, unless they've adopted through Paws 4 You and need neutering. Upon entering the clinic, the place immediately smelled (although upon entering later that day, said smell had mysteriously disappeared). The environment was immediately stressful for my puppy...there are birds kept in cages in the lobby, which make a lot of noise, not to mention it sounded like a whole pack of dogs being kept in the back barking frantically non-stop. It made my puppy even more scared and it was honestly hard for me to leave him there. I also noticed later that my puppy's nails had been clipped at some point, but there were a few toes clipped way too close...I could tell a few of them had bled because I found the stuff they use to stop that kind of bleeding on a few of the nail tips. I would hope they would exercise more caution in the future. My biggest complaint, however, is that not once did I get to meet the operating vet. It would have given me much more peace of mind to have spoken with the person operating on and treating my dog. I know we don't visit Bravo as our regular vet, but even for a routine surgery such as neutering, meeting the vet beforehand to go over things and have him meet my puppy would have improved the experience a lot. Overall, the place is decent and reasonably priced (in my opinion), but the environment could be improved as well as the vet-to-patient interaction. I'm grateful for the work they did to neuter my puppy and for their partnership with Paws 4 You, but I would not recommend Bravo as a regular, ongoing vet experience. Read Less

I was very impressed with bravo animal clinic. I have the sweetest, spoiled cat ever but she gets major anxiety being out of the house. They were able to make it the least amount of traumatic for her and I couldn’t be more thankful. Very professional people and you can tell they actually like their job. Also it was very clean and very affordable. Read Less

Great place. They always treat your pet as family. Staff is friendly n nice. They are not the cheapest but not near that expensive. They also work with rescue center. Best surgery staff around. Always do there best work.When my pets need something done, I know they are in very good hands here. Read Less

I have a 6 month of puppy that I have been taking to bravo since I had him at 3Months. My boy got all his shots here, checkups and just recently neutered. Bravo has been nothing but great to my boy. They have always been helpful and quick to get us in with an appointment. Read Less

The doctors and staff here are amazing. I always have a great experience. Even when you call, the staff is professional and knowledgeable. They also have great prices compared to other places I called in different areas of Miami. Not sure who said they have “outrageous” prices??? Compared to who? At any vet you can rack up a large TOTAL if your pet is sick and needs multiple things, but what they charge for each itemized thing is a fair price. Read Less

I am SO thankful for this place. Dr. Bravo has saved the life of my two dogs. Over a year ago there were complications of a case of parvo, my baby had gashes on her tummy, and was so close to dying. Even though they don't open on Sundays Dr. Arellano would go in, check on my dog, and call to let us know how she was doing. Two weeks ago Dr. Bravo removed a cancerous tumor from my other dog. He excised the whole thing. DEBBIE IS AN ANGEL!!!!! Oh my goodness that lady is like Jesus; she is sooo sweet and caring! There aren't enough words to describe how great everyone is and how thankful I am for them. Your animals will be in great hands!! Read Less

This is a very good clinic. But, on the other hand if you don't have a pocket full of money to pay everything upfront, that is not the place to go. They expect everything to be in paid in full no matter what the circumstance, whether life or death. They will not negotiate that for any reason. They will not even do half now and half when pick up. If you have the cash that's the place to go. If not find somewhere that's accommodating to you and your needs and is willing to wait a few hours or at least 24 hours for you to come up with the balance. Read Less

My mom adopted a very cute  Chihuahua from a rescue group.  We took Chico over to Bravo Animal Clinic.  Was very impressed with the lovely African Safari Art decor in the office and lobby.  They gave Chico his shots and we were on our way in 40 minutes.  A great experience. Read Less

I would NOT recommend going to Bravo if you plan on taking any bird. I just took my finch to simply get his leg band removed and the vet tech takes him to the back room and does not allow me see what he is going to do. Fifteen minutes pass by and still no vet tech or finch, then Dr. Bravo calls me in after he lets another patient out of the room to tell me my finch died, trying to make the excuse that it probably had a liver problem or etc as he was cutting the nails. The whole problem is: 1.) Instead of the vet tech coming directly to me, he went to Bravo to inform me of his mistake. 2.) I did not ask him to clip the nails because getting a leg band removed is already stressful on a small bird like a finch. 3.) Also, he didn't allow me to see exactly what he was doing so I have NO CLUE how long he handled my bird to cause it to die from stress. 4.) And the fact that Bravo was making excuses as if he had been supervising the clipping when I CLEARLY saw him talking to a the owner of a husky. from the lobby when the tech went to the back room. So moral of this story is ...If you need to get a avian pet checked by a vet your feathered friend might have a better chance with Dr.Harris. Read Less

My experience with Dr. Bravo and office staff has been beyond Excellent. He has treated several of our exotic animals which have been close to death and he has brought them back to life with his healing hands. He is not God but he sures gives his all when its time to treat sick animals. His office always smells pleasant and clean and decoration is awsome. Anyone that loves their animal bring them to Bravo Animal Clinic your animal and you will never regret it. the clinic gets the Excellent Vet Award. Thank you Bravo Animal Clinic. Read Less

I cannot say enough about these people. They are dedicated to the help of animals without regard and focus on just money. They are caring, passionate, and helpful. They are professional, knowledgeable and dedicated. This is the vet to have!!!! Thank you Dr. Bravo and staff for all you do for our sick, abandoned, and neglected animals. God bless you with favor and financial security! Read Less

I've been going to Bravo on and off for years. My moms been going since they opened with all her pets. I can say that they are truly a amazing place to take your pets. Recently we lost one of our pets. The cost to cremate and keep ashes was very expensive and they were very understanding of our financial situation and managed to help us out so we can keep the ashes. They are extremely understanding of everyone's situation. Their prices are reasonable and when it's hard to afford the treatments we may need they always find ways to help us. They have never lead us on and made us feel like we are just a paycheck to them. I am forever grateful to live so close to people we can trust. Thank you to the Bravo family for making us feel like family everytime we go. Nothing hits closer to home then feeling like someone cares when we walk into your facility. Read Less

I have been coming to this clinic for over ten years. It started with my daughter's chinchilla. It had kidney stones and Dr Bravo's amazing hands saved it. It is still alive. Then we have brought in our dogs. Every time we have received quality loving care Last Saturday I brought in Isabella my 6 year old mini dachshund. Her hind legs were totally down and she couldn't walk. I cannot express the pain I felt at knowing this was a life changing injury. I told Dr Bravo that I wanted to put her down. I couldn't stand to see her in pain and not walking. He was more than compassionate. He told me to leave Isabella with him over the weekend for treatment. He asked me to give her a chance. On Monday I went to pick her up. Our family decided that maybe if we took her for surgery she could have a chance. By the time she was evaluated by the neurologist Isabella was walking. Dr Bravo had given her anti inflammatories all through the weekend and had saved her! She has had the surgery and we are waiting to bring her home but God bless Dr Bravo for taking care of her and saving her life. I will forever be grateful for his skill but most of all for his heart. You don't find them like this anymore. Alicia I love you tooRead Less

We love both doctors and the staff! They helped us through cancer and multiple problems our dogs have had with love and understanding. Yes, they are pricey but that is the way it is if you love your pet family. And their gorgeous office is worth a visit in itself... Read Less

i could say i had one of the worst experiences of my life at this clinic. i took in my 11 year old cocker spaniel thinking she had an urinary infection that turned out to be internal bleeding. i was told she needed emergency exploratory surgery. at that point my world dropped as i could not come up with the entire cost of the surgery on the spot. i asked to please make some sort of arrangement so that i could save her but instead i was told that they required the entire cost upfront or to consider putting her to sleep. i was trying to gain time so that i could find the rest of the money but they would not even give her a transfusion or IV or anything. i left with her with my heart in pieces to take her somewhere else that could probably help. i was able to get the cost of the surgery in a few hours but by then they were already closed and who was my best friend for 11 years past away that night. it would have taken just a small effort to help her and they did not have compassion. how can a vet that studies veterinary services to save lives be all about money? animals are someone's companion, someone's best friend, they mean alot to their owners and they are unconditional. i could never take any of my pets there again, not to a place where instead of doctors they are heartless human beings and they should not practice veterinary medicine if they don't care for what they do unless you show them the cash or credit upfront.

Office staff is very friendly, both doctors are very understanding and easy to speak to. They genuinely appear to care for each animal they see. We cannot complain at all. Best part though? Prices are super reasonable! When you are on a budget and have two dogs and exotics that's also an important factor! Read Less

I love this place! I just switched to this vet because they are so caring and wonderful with all their animal friends. All of their staff is friendly and caring, I drive 20 miles to use this vet. I highly recommend them! Read Less

Vets like this is what's wrong with the animal rights effort. All they do is exploit people and disregard helping animals. I found a little abandoned shih tzu one night and before I introduced her to my dog, we took her for a check up... they said she was fine, even though we were very wary and concerned about her appearance, we trusted them they were the doctors and paid them almost $200. Now, the problem has worsened she has skin sores and now so does my perfectly healthy dod! Well, we took her back AGAIN and they said SHE WAS FINE! Just an allergic reaction, for $500 dollars we'll run tests. Well what happens when pet owners can't pay hundreds of dollars for a simple test??? DISGUSTING.Read Less

So thankful for the quick attention of the staff, if it wasn't for them and Dr. Bravo our baby Tyson wouldn't b here today. Really good care to all the pets that they care of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Read Less

This clinic's theme and decorations are really fabulous, the entrance to the clinic is a dog's head. Inside the clinic you feel you are in a safari somewhere in Africa. Beautifully carved wood animal figures abound, hanging cages, palm trees, and bamboo desks. The examining rooms are equally safari oriented designed, modern equipment and very pleasant staff. The doctor takes the time to know your animal, talks to the owners and thoroughly examines the animal. My dog is having an allergy problem, difficult to diagnose but nonetheless after the first visit my dog showed some relief. After the second the main problem with the dog skin was gone, now is something less severe. At no time the doctor insisted on the allergy tests. However, I had to stop going to the hospital where my dog had been treated previously because the staff would not schedule an appointment unless the dog had the allergy tests perform... what a rip off.The best about the Bravo Clinic - the price, they are not money-hungry. The office visit is at least $5-$10 less than at other hospitals. Medication is not overpriced and best they do not pester you with a membership! I highly recommend this place. Read Less
