Love all the staff and trust their professional opinions when it comes to my four-legged babies! So impressed how fast they respond to my emails and helping through a rough time with my sick puppy. Super hard workers.. Thank you guys! Read Less

After almost 15 yr of loyalty to a local vet our rescue a serious issue occurred & we realized we needed to accept the fact we need to change vets. We decided to try Avocado when we rescued a dog hit by a car. The staff was very understanding of our budget limits (we are a small overwhelmed rescue) & worked with us. They did not push unnecessary procedures. The dog requires surgery that they do not do. But the vet made sure we had her email so we could keep her informed of our progress with the specialist. All the adopters we have referred to them have had extremely good experiences. HW & tick disease SNAP test is only $30 Exam fee is $30. Rechecks are $15 IF they decide to charge. If your pet passes at home their fee to dispose of the remains covers only what the company hired charges. They earn no profit off of it. The manager has EXTENSIVE experience since he was manager for 12 years of another very large vet specialty practised. Both female vets are very empathetic & very skilled. The vet we dealt with did an extensive physical exam before ordering xrays so only necessary xrays were done. Her movements were slow & gentle - something rescuers notice since harsh sudden movements startle & stress abandoned animals. Read Less

This is the most caring staff there is. They attended my dog so amazingly , and got him into surgery as quick as they could. Very very caring , Dr. Shapiro and the rest of the clan really made this process so easy for us. Thank you all so much Read Less

Avocado animal hospital helped me assist a dog I found walking around Homestead which was thankfully chipped. Another vet across the street from Miami Dade College Homestead Campus said they wouldn’t stay open for me even after I said I would be there 3 minutes after closing to help a dog that wasn’t mine.

***FYI-The Original Business Was Sold. Under New Management*** Originally, I was referred to this vet by a local feed store so I felt comfortable expecting that they had experience with chickens. One of my hens, who stopped flying into the trees to perch at night, was inflamed and very heavy. She was eating fine, didn't seem sick, her comb and wattles were still red but just couldn't keep up due to her ballooned size. After doing some research online and speaking with fellow chicken keepers, all signs pointed to a condition called "Water Belly" aka Ascites. As soon as Dr. Cepero and her husband saw us I informed them of what I thought it could be and asked if they could drain the fluid (which is what is necessary with this condition).  To my surprise, the both of them seemed to instantly dismiss "things you find online" and "old timer techniques" and said it didn't feel like fluid build up. So they proceeded to do a fecal test for parasites because they felt as though it were parasites in her intestines causing inflammation. This didn't sound right to me at the time and nothing I had come across in my research presented any evidence  that would lead to parasites being the cause. Like I noted above, she had a healthy appetite, would run, and her comb and wattles didn't show signs of acute illness. They came back into the exam room with a microscope and showed me parasites that they found in her test. Shocked, I was glad that I had some form of a diagnosis and was eager to heal her. She was prescribed a dewormer and I was told that they would contact me later in the week to inform me of pricing options for medication to deworm the rest of my flock. I did not hear back from them and my hen was getting bigger! So i decided to call back the following week. I was told that she was "heavily infested" and that it will take a while to see results or I could bring her in for an X-ray. As a simple country woman, spending money on an x ray for a chicken was not feasible besides, the $58.00 visit + the loss of eggs (which you can't consume for 14 days after treatment) already cost too much. So I waited, and waited. About three weeks in she had reached a wall and was no longer able to walk and was struggling to breath. Finally I had a farmer friend come over and within a few seconds of picking her up he immediately determined it was indeed water belly (Ascites). He then drained more than 30oz of fluid from her. If it wasn't for him, she would have died that day more than likely. When I called the Vet back to express my disappointment with the wrong diagnosis, I was met with indignation, apathy and a person with a pension for interrupting clients while they try to communicate their concerns (Dr. Cepero's Husband). Terrible customer service plus lack of knowledge in your field means I won't be back. My chicken is doing so much better thanks to God, wise farmers, and the internet! Read Less

Lifesavers!  Recently had an episode with a horse bite on a horse that was not my own. 4 people showed up and handled the situation. A few days later of another Farm we had another injury, same horse, different farm. I want to think avocado Animal Clinic for showing up with smiles and good attitude which is what the brand new horse owner needed, as she was worried for the condition of her horse.  Can't beat that kind of vet.

Vet office was unprofessional with the handling of an order my sister gave them for the cremation of our cat. Order was sent late and we suspect that they used another cat's paw for a print they were supposed to make before they cremated her. We got the print 10 days after her cremation and it was still wet! Incredible. Dishonest. They say they will give the money back...the $300. I guess they feel bad for lying! Read Less

Sooo disenchanted with this "animal hospital". We brought a dog that we found who had apparently been abused and they said there was "nothing we can do ". Wanted us to release her to the streets . Wouldn't help this poor dog that was found on the streets. Wanted us to call animal control. Great service (NOT). Took her to another vet to say the very least! Read Less

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Amazing staff and the best prices in town. I'm one of those people who wants to provide the best care for their pup, but is on an extremely tight budget. This place fits the bill. Literally. I can't imagine taking my baby anywhere else. Read Less

This was my first time here and had a great experience.  I came right as they opened as I didn't have an appointment and was seen shortly after.  Staff was great and felt very welcomed.  Actually able to see both Veterinarians, as they brought in the other for a second opinion.  I felt they really gave us their time and concern and were in no rush.  In a hard situation I felt at ease and happy to have found my new Veterinarian.

The doctors were amazing! It was a great experience at the clinic and with the doctors and stuff. I would definitely recommend this clinic. We left happy with the treatment and the cost. And our doggy left happy also! Read Less

Thank you, thank you to the team at Avocado Animal Hospital. My husband and I were faced with difficult decisions towards the end of our dog Thomas' life. They guided us through every step and treated Thomas like one of their own. We are so grateful to them for everything that they did. Read Less

We moved to Homestead a year ago and we were so lucky to find this amazing vet hospital! Dr. Cepero is outstanding and her staff friendly and professional. I have an older cat and knowing there is 24hr emergency service is a great thing. I can't say enough about how terrific this place is! Read Less

i came here after a bad experience at english animal hospital, what a difference! the vets here treated my pug with care and concern. they actually took time to explain what could be wrong with my dog and what my options were. this is what you expect when taking your dog to the vet, some care, compassion, and an explanation of what's going on with your 4 legged buddy. goods..friendly and caring folks everywhere on staff, very fair pricing, convenient hours. they recommend appointments but do take walk-ins.the bads..it's at the end of a sketchy looking strip mall whose parking spaces were laid out by 4 drunk guys with no concept of how wide a car is. park on the streetside parking along krome if door dings are a concern.

Great staff! Kind, personable, efficient and reasonable. My backstory...I had a medical emergency with my dog. The clinic I was with at the time would not take me because I didn't have an appointment and it was too late in the day for me to make one. They recommended that I take him to the veterinary emergency room in Miami which was quite a drive. I called around, got a hold of Avocado Animal Hospital and they took me right away! I have been with them ever since and have been very pleased!! Read Less

I called them after our vet told us they couldn't see my sick puppy until June!  Avocado was able to squeeze us in the same day within a couple of hours of me calling. The staff is friendly and the vet was great. She was knowledgeable and informative. She diagnosed my pup, she treated him and she was so friendly to him. He's doingAmazing after she treated him and prescribed him with a new diet. Thank you!!!!!!  We will be back! Read Less

This office is clean, professional, and very well run! You can tell that the vets here truly care about our fur babies. And the prices are so reasonable! Top-notch care without breaking the bank is a win-win in our book. We will continue to come here exclusively for all of our veterinary needs!Read Less

Well, I see the new owners are trying to do some good but I've heard a few horror stories and since few interactions with them I believe what I've heard. The owners/fiancé isn't a doctor but he performs many tasks that only a doctor should perform. He has an air of arrogance and speaks down to his employees at the front desk in front of clients. They have done some questionable and unethical things that I won't get into but I say, if you have the opportunity to take your pets elsewhere then do so. These two are lining their pockets at the expense of the client. Veterinary practices are a business (at the end of the day), however it isn't fair that pets are treated like cash cows. I didn't write this review to bash. I'm simply trying to shed some light. I wish my closest friend had someone warn her before going to this vet. She lost a pet under suspicious circumstances... I will leave it at that. Read Less

We moved to the Homestead area last year and got a new puppy shortly after (Max) and went to the Avocado clinic to get him check up. He has been going to this clinic since day one to get his shots and without a doubt this is the best veterinary office I've ever visited. You feel like part of the family and can sense that they truly care about the animals. Price Wise: I don't know how they stay open. The prices are less than half what I used to pay with other vets. Quick Story: Max started acting different recently. I went to check on him in the morning and found him lifeless, there was no heartbeat or breath. I thought I had lost him until I went to pick him up to put him on a towel. He still had a very faint heart beat! I rushed him to the clinic with very little hope, he was in bad shape. He was having seizures and could barely move his eyes. Dr. Ana and Aniel took over and got to work. Long story short, it has been 3 days and Max is back to full health! This little guy was gone 3 days ago but they saved his life. If you want to go to a veterinarian that doesn't charge an arm and a leg, show great care for your furry friends and treats you like family then give Avocado clinic a try. I have a feeling you'll never want to go to a different vet. Read Less

They are the best, they have a wonderful team that is very knowledgeable.  Even if your dog is difficult to handle they find a way to do what they need to do to make sure that you baby is taken care of and healthy.  I will never go to another vet.  My entire family goes to Avocado.Love them.

I live in N. Fla and have been in homestead for work for almost a year. My dog got a hematoma on her ear. I visited avacado animal hospital they drained her ear immediately. (No charge) The next day they fixed her ear removed several cysts, fixed a hernia and cleaned her teeth. They also treated the ear infection that started the problem. The price was so low it would be unfair to publish it. THANK YOU AVACADO ANIMAL HOSPITAL! Read Less

I have been using this clinic for many years for my veterinary purpose. The new staff and Or owners seem to be experienced and show compassion for my animals. I would recommend them and will continue to take my animals there.Read Less

I was so worried when we needed a vet, not knowing any down here and my dog needed help.  I'm so happy we picked Avocado Animal Hospital.  They were so kind and caring. They took great care of us and got us in right away. We now have a vet, when we are down here. Than you so much. Read Less

They claim to be the least expensive in town. I can tell you from experience that this is NOT true. I sadly had to have my 15 year old Maltese put to sleep on Saturday. I called avocado animal hospital prior to my husband going to find out the cost. They didn't give me a price over the phone but assured me that they are the "cheapest in town". So on good faith, I sent my husband with our dog. They charged him $180 in total to have her put down and to dispose of her remains. 6 months ago, I took my Pekingese who was having kidney failure to Dr. Gilley's office to be put to sleep and disposed of and they charged me $75. That's almost half the cost. For people who claim to be the most reasonable in price, they sure are very far off! Especially since Gilley is (from what I hear) an amazing vet! I will never set foot in this place! I feel totally taken advantage of. What a horrible time to take advantage of people! Putting your dog that you've had for 15 years is a really hard thing to do and for them to treat us like that just speaks to the character of the people running this place. I'm beyond disappointed. They should have been honest about their prices when I called and specifically asked for them. Not trick us into coming in by claiming to have the best prices around, not giving me the cost and then taking our money. Had They given the cost over the phone, I would have called somewhere else.

Most amazing experience recently with the team at AAH.  I have been trying to get a rescued dog neutered however he was feral when I found him and though he has assimilated into "the pack" at home, he is not down with humans.  The team at AAH, worked with me to get him into clinic for shots, exam and neuter after several failed attempts on my part.  They went above and beyond to help me, help Oliver TWIST, a true street urchin, of the canine variety. Special shout out to Annell.  Without his quick skills and handling I am not sure where I would be with getting Twist to the vet!  Thank you!!! Read Less

Very impressed! Not only were they great during my pet's exam (and reasonably priced too!) but Dr. Cepero even answered my email at 8:30 on a Saturday night! I have had animals for 40 years and no vet has ever done that before! Read Less

I've beeen coming here for 15 years under the care of Dr. Olson.  I called to make an appointment and everytime I called I was hung up on.  The woman who answered was very loud and the background noise was like a zoo.  She probably did not hear me.  After the 9th call I was never given the option to leave a message.  Needless to say the call was never returned.  I am sure the reviews that are written on this page are dear friends of the business.  I am very sorry to know that Dr. Olson sold the business.  I heard that he will still seeing patients by appt and that was the reason for my call.  Unfortunately, I was never the chance the make the appt as I just kept getting hung up on.Nice start Dr Ceprero!  Good luck to you.

Great service! I took both my doxies in to get their teeth cleaned and I am so happy with the care Dr. Ana Cepero and staff provided them. I will be recommending them to my friends and family with furbabies. Read Less

Dr. Cepero and the staff are exceptional! I brought in my cat at the beginning of November that seemed very painful and had started urinating with blood. She was diagnosed with a urinary infection. Thankfully they were able to treat her immediately with medications and a prescription diet. she was back to normal in just a few days and has not had any more problems since she has been eating the new food. I have been to other places with my pets within homestead and none can compare to the high level of medicine and friendly faces I encountered at Avocado Animal Hospital. Read Less
