Vetria Pet Wellness And Surgery Center
Lutz, Florida
General Info
Vetria Pet Wellness And Surgery Center enhances veterinary services in Lutz through meticulous observation of pet interactions with spatial elements and appointment structures which Florida families appreciate. Initial veterinary examinations typically commence in minimally distracting environments where pets can either explore or become comfortable. The staff meticulously observes numerous indicators such as tail position and pawing behavior alongside sound reactivity. Veterinarians assess coat condition alongside pulse rate and hydration status while examining jaw symmetry and gait consistency as well as the pet's response to close contact during physical examinations. Every tiny aspect gets recorded whenever an animal enters medical settings for the first time or shows past trauma or handling resistance. Vetria Pet Wellness And Surgery Center delivers diagnostic services surgery planning wellness exams mobility tracking parasite prevention and breed-informed wellness forecasting. Veterinary care plans develop according to each pet's response to touch and routine alterations as well as clinic environmental cues including lighting transitions between rooms and ambient sound levels. Families that include pets and face challenges in group environments or benefit from repetitive activities discover this to be particularly advantageous. Follow-ups function to align with individual household schedules while accommodating each pet's inherent rhythms. Pet owners gain access to detailed explanations and logical progressions for each decision which transforms them from passive observers into active participants in their pet care journey. Pet guardians in Lutz and surrounding Florida areas find a care system at Vetria Pet Wellness And Surgery Center that emphasizes attentiveness, rhythm, and mutual understanding to ensure each visit progresses naturally and calmly.

Dr Jim is a terrible Vet. He killed my dog with a bad cast that gave her compartment syndrome and then tried to gas light me when she started acting strange telling me nothing was wrong when her limb was rotting on her body. She died at 11 months old after I spent 6 grand trying to save her because of Dr. Jim and his staff. They don’t care and are negligent. He never tried to make things right and he is a terrible human

This was like last year. I had trouble communicating with my Daisy. She was s rescue Yorkie. She was a rebel n didn't want to be near anyone. As soon as the Dr. Saw her he told me all her health problem which I already knew. The following visit he removed an enlarge hernia and couple of her rotten teeths. Now months later she is like a baby not wanted to leave my side. She allows funsi to share with me. N the all day barking is gone. Now she takes care of me when I'm sick. Living with my 2 yorkies is like heaven sent. They communicate very well n they are so lovely with everyone else. Thank you guys for helping her getting better. Now I'm training boths simple commands n they like it.

I came here about a year ago. The doctor on staff was knowledgeable but not very compassionate to my animal. They nickle and dimed me for absolutely everything. Convinced me to buy products I didn't need. Not to mention their mark up on her meds was ridiculous. I walked out of there with a $400 bill and the feeling that I had got taken for a ride. I was not a happy camper.
Fast forward to today. I had to take my cat in for roughly the same issue. This time I went to The Humane Society. They did a lot more for her than Vetria. They didn't try to sell me stuff I didn't need and her meds for much more affordable. My bill today was $170 that included a shot and 9 months of her meds Well below half of what I paid at Vetria. I was shocked at the price. I even asked him if they had everything rang up correctly, as I was expecting it to be much more.
I wouldn't not recommend Vetria. But I would suggest looking into other options first. That is unless you enjoy paying 'Gucci' prices for the same, if not less care.

Dr. Hugh’s is “The Best” !
Intelligent, kind, compassionate and effectively applies humor to ease both human and pet typical emotional stress related to care coordination / multi systemic disease management control. Rarely do I give reviews for anyone. My ongoing diverse 38 years in human health as a Helicopter Trauma RN to Executive Leadership provides an enhanced level of discernment. 15 years ago, and over 10 vets later whom all mis-diagnosed my dog licking his paws as fungal / Florida grass allergy, was in fact correctly diagnosed as Markedly Advanced Lyme disease from a tick bite while on a camping / boating vacation in Georgia. With Dr. Hugh’s expert treatment plan, my dog’s life was extended providing many more years of health and pleasure. This man operates at a truly genius level and Is extremely generous. We all love our furry family members and so does “Dr. Jim” !

My dog was very ill and couldn’t walk. I went to various pet hospitals (including blue pearl hospital) and they couldn’t help my dog and misdiagnosed her medical conditions. I was referred to Vetria and within 5 minutes Dr. Hughes diagnosed my frenchie and knew right away her medical issues. Finally a vet with experience that was able to pin point her medical issues. He did acupuncture on her and she came out of the hospital walking and feeling much better. This is our new Vet.

*BEWARE* *MONEY HUNGRY* I was referred here as a cheap alternative due to my primary vet not being available. Though they had a friendly office environment, when I was able to go back and actually have the examination done, the doctor was pushing out possible reasons as to why my cat could be sick. Due to the cat being the family cat, I wasn't fully aware of the cats age at the time. I was under the assumption the age was 10. After trying to be told to get the X-ray ($150) over the blood test ($186) because "if we can't find anything on the x-ray, we won't have to do blood" (Why on Earth would I choose the X-ray first ,which is $150 itself, instead of going straight to the blood???) I chose to to only get the blood test done. I called a family member to update them on the story. I was corrected and told the age of the cat was 17 and I informed the staff, after already choosing the $186 blood test. They came back in a few minutes later and I was told, "The other doctor overrode the doctor you were seeing and said due to her age, we have to do ALL tests" which is $533 dollars. Which is absolutely batshit crazy. I informed them after being there for two and half hours that we were going to pass and they tried to give us the paper with the amounts THREE times before I had to be sassy with them. There is no way in Hell. I was able to get into our primary (The Animal Coalition of Tampa) due to a cancellation the next day and walked out of there with only spending $188 ($188 Included: blood test, exam, urinalysis, injection, special diet food, antibiotics) ** (OUR CAT ONLY ENDED HAVING A DAMN UTI)

Oh my gosh!! Are we talking about same place I go to? The people and "staff" who left these terrible reviews obviously dont know Dr. Jims heart. Sure the buildings old but its only a building..... Whats important is WHO is caring for your pet. BTW.... They have done lots of improvements to inside of building. Sure he went thru terrble divorce. But most of us have been through that ourselves. Exes dont play fair and leave many BROKE and starting over from nothing. I can tell you that Dr. Jim is NOT all about money because I do cat rescue and he is very generous with his time and makes things affordable out of the goodness of his heart. Staff has told me he is incredibly caring and comes in each day greeting, comforting and talking to all the animals. Not to mention HE saved one of my rescue kittens from a leg amputation by doing STEM CELL THERAPY. There are no other vets in the area that do this and any other vet would have amputated. This cat is now an adult and has his leg thanks to Dr. Jim. He also trests cats with Leukemia!! Other vets euthanize. Treatment works on about 80% of cats. He does lots of this for low cost for rescues. We are all human. Give Dr. Jim a break. I am a legit rescue.....Not a family member or friend. My name is Meg Wilcox ...... Cat Rescue:)

After a bad experince at another vet office in town, they advised us in the right direction for treatment and didnt try to charge us for every small thing.
