Extra Care Animal Hospital

The physician is nice but honestly it’s so so expensive. I ended up with a bill of close to 1000$ for a regular check up of a newly adopted dog. When I looked at the break down, a single blood pressure measurement was charged as 65$, and I was self pay. I wish they had better prices. Read Less

Absolutely the best doctors and staff anywhere. Dr. Thannum saved my little guy's life and I'm forever grateful! Initially diagnosed with pancreatitis at another office, Dr. Thannum ran more tests consulted with specialists and scheduled him for surgery within a day. He is one lucky dog to be alive today and it's all thanks to the physicians and staff at Extra Care! If you're not sure where to go, don't hesitate to come here! Read Less

This is my hospital so of course I love it! More importantly I love my clients and how fortunate I am to have people that love their pets and are willing to do what is right for them. Thank you for being such wonderful people! Read Less

I started working with the Extra Care team two years ago when I was a volunteer. Now two years later I'm apart of a loving and striving team! I have nothing but absolute respect and admiration for the miracles that I've witnessed Dr. Thannum perform. She has 21 years of knowledge and experience backing her up and I've observed it first hand. Definitely a Veterinarian to have take care of your pets. Read Less

My wife and I have been bringing our dog Maui to this doctor for many many years like seven to be exact. she is a beautiful pitbull with a brain of a very very smart person and I must say she's smarter than most. we will only bring our dog to this doctor because she's loving and it shows when she walks into the room. Other vets are nowhere near as caring about their clients. The customer service and follow ups are terrific. I strongly suggest this vets office. Located right off 595 its only ten minutes from anywhere !!Read Less

I started working at Extra care Animal Hospital a couple weeks ago, but i have known Dr. Thanum for about 15 years. She is a family friend, a great person and a true animal lover. The only veterinarian I have ever worked for that actually cares more about the patients health and happiness more than anything else. Every animal that comes in is treated like a star and is cared for like our very own. I don't know where you can find that same kind of care for your furry children than here! Thanks for being a great doctor to your patients and also to work for. Read Less

I love my job! I started about 3 years ago and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Dr. Thannum is by far one of the BEST doctors that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate towards animals! As well as her staff. Don't take your furry friend anywhere else. If you need a great vet who knows what they're doing and loves what they do, then look no further! Come and see us!!!!! We can't wait to meet you! Read Less

If you go here, you better pay close attention and ask twice when given an answer. First our visit estimate was wrong by 300%. Excuse; that was someone new that gave you the estimate. Second, they sell me something I did not need or asked for. But can not exchange iy because it's illegal to take back medication. Well, I'll take my business somewhere else and advise you to do the same. Read Less

Dr Thannum is the Best vet ever she is always there any time my pets need her I have a dog named Comet and 5 cats, she is amazing with all of them she is very caring and loving all the time, 3 months ago 1 of my cats almost died she kept him for week day and night and saved his life We will always be grateful to her I will recommend her to anyone that wants their pets to treated with TLC We love you Dr TRead Less

Dr. Jodi and the staff here have been amazing to me and my dog, Toby. They have squeezed him in twice in a week on an emergency basis. Today he got stung by a bee and they saw him immediately. I'm just so pleased with them. They have been a god send for me and my pets. I highly recommend this vet! They also are far more reasonable with pricing than other vets in the area. Read Less

I brought my 6 month old Boston Terrier to Extra Care for her spay, and she died the next day. Yes, died! While I do think Dr Thannum cares about animals something obviously went terribly wrong. Now I have a $2000 bill, no real explanation about what happened, and no dog. I've been called repeatedly by Dr Thannum and/or her receptionist for the last week about payment, and I was not even given an invoice. I didn't even know what I was being charged for until I asked to see a detail of charges. Everyone says don't pay the money, the dr should take some responsibility, get an attorney, etc. I mailed a check for the full amount because I'm just ready to put this horrible experience behind me. My dog was my baby, and I can honestly say this has been the worst ordeal I've ever had to go through!!! Read Less

The perfect place for you're pet. My Chihuahua named pistol had the best care there, he was pampered till his last days of his life. Im very happy with the dr Thannum she gave him the best of her. And her love for you're pet will last forever. Thanks to you all. Read Less

This was not my experience but my friend posted this. But in the wrong place. It sounds like he had a meeting with GOD hahahaha I just copied and pasted........Hello Dr Jody, I wanted to express my happiness in regard for the awesome care you provpided for my cat Mini Me. Mini Me has been a huge part of my girlfriends happiness for the last 12 years, as well I feel like his dad over the 6 years he has been in my life. He has a routine of meeting me at the front door when I get home from a days work. When he started acting different from his typicle behavior both my girlfriend and I knew something was wrong. I found Dr Jody while searching the Internet for a pet doctor for our Mini Me. Talk about hitting a home run at my very first at bat. We chose Extra Care Animal Hospital, the name of the clinic just made each of us feel a little less bummed out that our kitty was sick. I showed up myself and shortly there after I met Doctor J :)....( Dr Jody Thannam) was able to diagnose Mini Me in a short time and provided treatment that has brought the smile back to our whole family. The very next day I received a phone call checking on how Mini was doing........talk about a rare moment. I have never gotten a call from a MD doctor checking on my health or any other vets I have gone to before. There is a big difference between a Vet who loves animals or a vet that is in business to up sell you something that you may not need. If you are in Broward County and you love your pets. I can assure you it's worth the drive from wherever you live. It's right off 595 and Flamingo.....I almost never take the time to post my feelings whether it be good or bad on any social network, but this was a time that I felt I had to. Take the ride to Extra Care Animal HospitalRead Less

I have been going to ECAH for at least the last 8 years. When my dog Bo was having problems with his heart and arthritis they were able to diagnose and make suggestions to help him get around easier. They were there for him until his last waking moment and then some. Now a little while later Dr. Thannum and the entire staff are dealing with my golden retriever mix puppy. He tends to get nervous in the car unless he knows he is going to see Dr. Thannum or Barkham park. Those are the only two places he runs to the car to go! I love Dr. Thannum and her staff s the best most caring group that I could ever wish to care for my furry children. If you ever need anything just call office Dr. Thannum will call you back if she can't get to the phone when you call. They are very accommodating to your needs and your pets needs.Read Less

We have been going to Extra Care Animal Hospital, located in Davie Florida, for years, back when Dr Saleh was there. Always have felt welcome and assured that our 4 cats got the "extra care" that only comes from having the "best" employees. Now,with Jodi L. Thannum DVM at the helm, Extra Care will always do the best they can when caring for our little furry children, Millie, Kona, Sheila, and Bella. Read Less

I've been going to this hospital for years with my pets and they are true professionals. I have no complaint about them at all. They also specialize in exotic animals. I have ferrets and not all vets know how to deal with them. Dr. Rupp now has him own place called Animal House Veterinary Hospital and he is the one that takes care of the ferrets. X-Tra Care no longer does but they are still great. I really recommend them. Read Less

My 3 yorkies have been patients of Dr. T since they were babies and now they are 6 - 7 years old. I live in Jupiter and travel to Davie because I refuse to have my dogs touched or even seen by another vet. Dr. T n her staff make u feel like family, they remember ur name and pets name, the service is precise, friendly, and to the point. They never try to over charge or under care for ur pet, this for me is priceless. As long as I have pets I will be continue to be a client of Extra Care Animal Hospital. Dr. T please never change ur devotion to animals is like no other. Thank u for all u do! Read Less

Extra Care Animal Hospital has taken great care of our dogs. Super friendly staff, clean facility and caring doctors. Dr. Rupp is patient and kind and really takes time to address all of our concerns. We never feel rushed and we always leave feeling good about taking our fur babies there. Whenever anyone asks if we like our vet, the answer is YES! :) Read Less

I have to share a great story that just happened last week. I stopped by ECAH and while I was waiting got into a conversation with another person that was in the waiting room. This person was very emotional because apparently she just found out her dog was pregnant when she went into labor a few days ago and the puppies were not coming out over this time period. It seems the puppies had stopped moving so she thought her dog was trying to give birth to still born puppies and was was not doing well either. She took her dog to her vet who would not take care of the dog because she didn't have payment at that time and was told to bring her to the ASPCA but was told they would probably end up putting her to sleep. Anyway, she tried a few veterinarians but to no avail, brought her dog back home because she didn't want to drag her around anymore in her condition. Went back to trying to find someone to help her dog and passed by ECAH. Went in and Dr. T was there and she heard about the what was going on with the dog. Immediately she told the lady to get the dog to her asap and took the dog in for surgery without even working on payment. Dr. T was thinking about the dog above everything...which is as it should be. I called ECAH to find out what happened in the end and it turns out that the dog had three puppies and Dr. T was able to save one of them and the puppy and mom are doing fine. My dog has been going to ECAH since she was born and is no 7 yrs old. They have always taken GREAT care of my baby! This story is just one of the many reasons why I have brought my dog to ECAH and will continue to do so. I highly recommend Extra Care Animal Hospital because they will take good care of your pets.

We arrived at Extra Care Animal Hospital on Monday morning after a very upsetting weekend. My husband and I purchased our dog, Charlie, from a breeder in Ocala, Fl. and drove to pick him up on Saturday by Sunday, not realizing Extra Care had emergency service, we were in the Emergency Clinic. The emergency vet took Charlie in the back and when she surfaced she had devastating news...Charlie was gravely ill and wasn't going to make it. Any attempt to save him had a grim outcome and the starting costs were $3600.00. Desperately, I wanted to save the little guy so I was willing to pay. Even though I was willing to pay, the vet told me to take the dog back to the breeder. Reluctantly, I agreed and went home. By Monday morning Charlie couldn't breathe! I called Extra Care and they told me to rush him over. We did. Dr. O and her staff could not have been nicer! They examined Charlie and agreed that he was gravely ill and Dr. O. wasn't sure he'd make the trip back to the breeder. I asked her to work up an estimate for me to hospitalize Charlie and try to help him and when they did I was pleasantly surprised!. We admitted Charlie. Charlie is home and a happy, healthy dog!!!! Charlie's care was exceptional!! The staff was understanding to my anxiety and made me feel comfortable! They called me Monday afternoon with an update and encouraged me to call as much as I felt necessary. I NEVER felt as though I was bothering anyone at the office, which is rare nowadays!! I called at least twice a day and visited everyday. I was allowed to go into the hospital area and sit with Charlie and as he gained strength I was allowed to take him out. I feel this was an important part of his recovery.. as well as the Dr. and staff treating Charlie as one of their own. Thank you Dr. O and staff...everyday that I look at Charlie I thank God and Dr. O and her staff for him. I could not have asked for more from a office!! They are all wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend this office!!! Read Less
