Sunset Animal Clinic | Miami Fl

Sunset Clinic is amazing. Drs are amazing as well. Particularly Dr Khouly was reffered by a friend 3 years ago, she's the best. I've moved to Miami Beach and still take my dogs there. I come from the medical field and I'm extremely picky, I recommend 100%. Read Less

To say that this veterinary practice is amazing would be a complete understatement. If you broke down Dr. Khuly's attributes as a person into quarters, it would consist of: 1) Genius - Dr. Khuly has studied at some of the finest institutions of higher education in the country. As if it wasn't enough to obtain a medical degree from an Ivy League university, she also has an MBA. #GirlBoss!2) Tenacity - she never once gave up, even in perplexing situations. She's quite a sleuth!3) Miracle Worker/Angel - I never thought that angels could walk the earth, and then I met Dr. Khuly (and her staff!)4) Pure, unadulterated compassion - not just for animals, but also for people. She is down to earth, keeps it real, and has a kind, composed way about her (must be the yoga). She's just downright cool. Dr. Khuly saved my 16-year-old cat's life and for that, I am forever grateful. When I brought Scout in, unresponsive and basically lifeless, I did not think that I would be taking him home four days later. Dr. Khuly literally dropped everything she was doing to care for him with both swiftness and calmness. She worked methodically to interpret his bloodwork and explained all of my options for treatment, with kindness, honesty and integrity. I decided to leave him with her for 2-4 days as she promised she would take care of him and work her magic. Although it was our first time meeting, there was a level of sincerity rarely found these days, and I instantly believed in her. She called me twice a day, every day, to give me status updates. At one point she considered taking him home with her, overnight. She checked on him repeatedly after hours. She gave me ample time to come and visit him every day, and on the day that I had my not-sick-dog with me, she created a welcoming environment for him too (he was probably confused about why he was going to the vet). When she was puzzled by Scout's bloodwork and responses to medications, she sought counsel from other veterinarians. Ultimately, she diagnosed him with a rare medical condition I'm honestly not sure any other vet would have found. I am certain no one else would have put in the time and effort that she did to research and treat the condition. The level of care that I received here was so above and beyond my expectations. If you've read some of my other reviews, you know that I can be a pretty tough customer. If I could give 10 stars to Sunset Animal Clinic, I would! Beyond the medical team and staff, the office is also stylishly decorated and impeccably kept. This is actually the first vet I've gone to that didn't have any weird smells whatsoever. There is ample parking out front although depending on what time you go, you may need to circle the lanes a few times as the other stores in the plaza (Winn Dixie being the anchor store) are busy as well. If you are considering a veterinary practice for your animal(s), please see Dr. Khuly and her stellar team. THANK YOU! Read Less

This is an amazing veterinarian. I discovered Sunset Animal Clinic when I needed help for one of my cats who was very old and her body was just shutting down. All of the team at Sunset are truly genuine and love what they do and it shows.  From the front desk, the techs who have to do all the necessary stuff to the vets themselves. I was truly floored by the service and the humble pricing also. It wasn't painfully expensive for this trip. Now, I bring all of my animals and even guest animals when we baby sit (unbelievably- not everyone takes their dogs for annual check ups and licensing).  When I can recommend Sunset Animal Clinic, I do with a smile and tell them they will not go anywhere else. Thanks ! Read Less

I love Sunset Animal Clinic- I really do. Based on a glowing rec from former neighbors and trusted friends, I began taking our pets to Sunset after moving to Miami in 2013. When I started with them, Dr. Rocky & Dr. Fawcett were still in command. Both vets saw our combo of critters (3 dogs & 2 cats) a number of times and we loved their old-school style and the obvious care and compassion they had for our furry children. Dr. Khuly, as I understand, bought out the practice, expanded the space and gave it a hip fun vibe. Over the last couple of years, we've seen a variety of very young vets new to the practice and to be clear, they too were knowledgeable and compassionate in spite of looking like college kids. The ladies at the front desk are great- on the ball and a pleasure to deal with which anymore is a rarity. My only complaint about Sunset is that the pricing has increased dramatically- like to a crazy degree. I'm not a bargain hunter when it comes to healthcare for my family- critters certainly included- though when you have 5 pets, you tend to take notice when the price of a procedure almost doubles. I removed a star for pricing alone; I appreciate Sunset but believe their pricing for basic services too high and that it increased too dramatically too quickly. I certainly hope (read: suggest) prices don't continue to rise because I think they're otherwise awesome! Read Less

This is the best office we have ever been to! Our sweet Missie dog was suffering and we thought the worst. When we got there, the staff was on it, the Dr and staff was understanding and very clear on what needed to be done. I will come here for all of my animals and would recommend for everyone to do the same!! Thank you!! Read Less

Awesome with a Capital Awww!Everyone here is friendly and helpful.I had taken my dog there for years and I just rescued /adopted two kitties from them. Free and the first year of shots free as well. All the doctors there are super friendly and affectionate with the animals.You won't regret taking your pet there! Read Less

We just moved back to the Miami area and needed a vet. Looked to Yelp for recommend providers. Saw this clinic who had 5 stars so I went on their recommendation. Loved the doctor and the care provided, however, the prices are outrageous! Read Less

Our sweet senior boy was diagnosed with the later stages of renal failure. The news has been devastating to us. But I cannot express my gratitude at being at the hands of both Dr. Duenas her assistant Micki. Their compassion and dedication has meant the world. Dr. Duenas tool the time to answer our questions, give as much information as possible, and did so with great kindness. My husband and I especially appreciated her honesty and compassion. I would recommend this office to anyone who is concerned for their pets' treatment. The whole staff was extremely nice, and facilities are  cute to boot. Read Less

I have been going to this animal clinic for about 25 years now. Dr Khuly is one of the most compassionate people I know. She is very caring and understanding. The office staff are very kind and attentive. I can't say enough about this clinic. If you go you won't be disappointed. Read Less

That says it all with one exception.  The rapport of the staff nd doctors can't be matched.  Who wouldn't prefer Dr. Rochfort?  But then when he isn't available there is Dr. Khuly, and on and on.  I have nothing but praise for this practice.Thank you everyone.  family of COCO and EARS and their company of cats.

Just switched over to this clinic and so far I am very happy! The front desk staff is friendly and really efficient, they were able to pull the files for both of my dogs from their previous vet before their appointment. They also have a big waiting area and try to separate dogs and cats which I appreciate since my dogs HATE cats.Dr. Duenas was extremely sweet and knowledgeable and my dog ended up needing TPLO surgery so we were referred to a surgeon but Dr. Duenas called me after her surgery to check up on my dog which I found so sweet!Will definitely be taking my other dog and recommending to my friends. Read Less

We have been seeing Dr. Khuly and her amazing staff at Sunset Animal Clinic for 12 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else! They are all amazing. They genuinely care about your pet and your family. Dr. Khuly does not recommend any unnecessary medications or procedures. She and her staff are considerate of your time without making you feel that your visit is not as important as the next appointment scheduled. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Read Less

I'm so glad to have had Sunset Animal Clinic for the 2.5 years I lived in Miami.  I worked for years (and have now resumed working) at a nonprofit animal clinic, so so I consider myself quite in tune with what to look for in a veterinary facility.  Dr. Khuly is awesome - friendly and smart, taking her time with each patient, answering all your paranoid-pet-owner questions, and never pushing treatments that aren't needed.  The front desk is just as pleasant, and the waiting area is always tranquil for the pets.  (Having separate entrances for the dogs and cats certainly helps!.  I've never had trouble getting an appointment in the time I needed, even when I first called as a new patient.  Phone and e-mail correspondence is always swift.  The prices here are more reasonable compared with other vets - which, as a full-time student, I truly appreciated.  My cat and I have moved from Miami since, but we're truly grateful for the care Sunset Animal Clinic gave us.

Dr. Khuly was extremely caring and respectful to my dog who can easily be frightened by overly aggressive handling. She knows her way around the psychology of dogs and works it seamlessly into her checkups. I could not ask for anyone better! And the staff is equally professional and caring. These guys are great :) Read Less

They continue to amaze me in not only caring for my pet but also putting my concerns at ease. I have no problem bringing my best buddies here. Dr. Guzman and Dr. Khuly are great! I was surprised to see all of the Dr's there at one time. Most vets I've been to in my life only have 1 vet at a time in the office. This place had 4! Great place and great staff. Read Less

Very disappointed in my encounter with this clinic. They insisted on treating a 4 month old Labrador puppy with an antibotic that could be detrimental to her health. There were plenty of other choices, but chose to use a potentially harmful one. Also when I questioned her choice, she became irate and nasty. Also hung up on me, not allowing me to speak. She was very un professional.They have tried to get me to take this post off, but will not change their policy as to prescribing harmful antibotics to growing puppies. A group of antibiotics can cause cartiledge damage to growing puppies. Read Less

After our beloved Dr. Donocoff (we love you Dr. D!!!) moved to New York to lead a research study at a university, we thought we would never find that connection with another veterinarian again. We continued as patients at the same clinic, each visit more disappointing than the last. I was starting to think we would have to fly to New York.I found Sunset Animal Clinic on Yelp and was instantly drawn to Dr. Khuly because of her bright pink hair. I have yet to meet a person with hot pink hair I didn't love (see: husband).  Of course, someone's hair color is not reason enough to entrust your pets life in their (very cool) hands. Upon further research I found Dr. Khuly's website where she has several columns, blog posts, and an extensive list of awards and qualifications. This awesome lady has been published everywhere from The Miami Herald to a magazine about chickens and USA Today.Obviously she had to be my dogs new veterinarian.The clinic staff is awesome to start. Making an appointment was a breeze, and they took care of transferring my pets records from their old clinic.Yes, you read that right. They ACTUALLY transferred the information without hiccup. Amazing.The clinic itself is cute, clean, and chic. They have an entrance for dogs and an entrance for cats. The patients in the waiting room were all calm and happy. They even had baskets of toys for you to play with your pooch in the meantime.My wait was about 10 minutes after I filled out my new client form. I'm happy to report that the exam room was so modern and clean as well. I waited there another minute or two before Dr. Khuly and her vet tech arrived.Dr. Khuly really filled that room with joy. She was bright, bubbly, and friendly. I instantly felt at ease and I could tell my dogs were too.My dog being seen that day is normally a nervous wreck. I told her about our efforts to socialize him and that we were working with a trainer. She talked to him, Pet him, and played with him until he relaxed. She was very attentive to his body language and was very concerned with him feeling comfortable in this new environment.She was knowledgeable on my dogs breed (sheltie) and what vaccines and medications did and did not mix will with them specifically, something I usually had to inform the other veterinarians about. She even offered alternatives to heartworm preventative that we did not know existed as Shelties often cannot tolerate Hartgard. While they did not carry it at the clinic, they do have a pharmaceutical website we can order from without a prescription which was AWESOME. Another thing I loved is that they did not frown upon the fact that one of my dogs is not neutered. We show dogs, and the purpose of dog shows is to evaluate breeding stock. Naturally, this means a dog being shown cannot be neutered (although we do not personally breed). Our vet did not push neutering blindly and understood that it is possible to be a responsible owner with an in tact dog. I really appreciated the knowledge and insight on the topic and loved that they recommend neutered on a case by case basis depending on what's best for that dog.Overall my experience at Sunset Animal Clinic was phenomenal. From the communication, to the helpful and informed front desk, to the awesome techs, and the adorable chalkboard wall with all of the patients names written on them... this place is truly a gem.I wish I could make a second appointment already just so my husband could experience what I did today. He is already sick of me telling him how AWESOME our new vet clinic is, and of course the wonderful Dr. Khuly.Thank you!! Read Less

Their staff is amazing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask for Audrey. She will take care of your loved one and make sure she educates you on what they need, as well as preventive measures. I have been taking my boxer there for almost two years now and highly recommend you do the same. Read Less

Dr. Patty Khuly is the best! I am a first time cat owner, and have been to see her twice in the past year, just because I am overly cautious since I have never owned a pet before. Everytime I have been there, Dr.Khuly spends about 30 minutes with me answering each of my questions and just talking to me in general. I can tell that she remembers both me and my cat. She is sincerely nice, energetic and has a fun personality that calms my cat and makes him more comfortable. Things at the vet are a little hectic right now because they are under construction, but once they are done I am sure everything will be super amazing. I live about 30 minutes away from this vet office, and sure there are other ones closer to me but I would rather go through the drive to come to this clinic to get quality service. Read Less

I love this vet office. I first found them on yelp, where they have a 5 star review. I had recently lost my cat due to some random thing which was never actually identified at the animal ER on US-1. I paid just short of $5,000 for my cat to be put to sleep in the end. It was horrible and absolutely traumatic! Suddenly a three week old rescue kitten fell in my lap and I have been taking my adult (11 years) cat and the baby (now 6 months old) to Sunset Animal Clinic since then.. My first visit the doctor patiently listened while I cried about my lost one, it had been around a month since he passed. I was afraid because my older one was not eating due to the new baby. Obviously after having spent $5,000 on vet bills less than a month prior, I was nervous when it was time to check out; but the doctor recommended a year check up plan they have which cost me less than $200. I honestly don't remember the bill, but I do remember the relief that I felt. Since then, I have been to a few check ups with the baby and will be neutering him very soon. Each time the veterinarians and staff fawn over him and love him like I would. It is a joy to take my pets to this place. Read Less

I went here one time, and they were amazing! 4 workers were petting, baby talking and giving treats to my dog at the same time to insure he doesn't get scared of his shots and fecal exam. They were all so nice to my dog and I. After exploring other places, this is by far is the best vet! Oh, and there was no wait at all! Read Less

I have been and still the owner of cats, dogs, and rodents and this is the only clinic I will trust. Whether it is home visits for those cases where your pet is too sick to come or keeping them over night, these people care and understand what it means to love your pets. These are people who values and care about an animal's life. Read Less

Spent many years with the wonderful staff of this compassionate clinic. They always did everything they could to help my animals and keep them with me. When I was moving, they even recommended a great clinic for my new location. They were the best! Miss them very much.. Read Less

Called them after checking its wonderful reviewsand being so desperate cause my miniature dachshund is very ill and being seen by three vets already whom have charged me a lot and see her getting worsen. Now she needed to be seen in an emergency since she is bleeding profusely from the paw of her damaged leg and has skin hanging from a hole she chewed on so the wound needs to be cured right away. I was told by the lady who answered the phone to take her to another vet since they were full for the day even though I was begging in tears for my baby's sufferings. Therefore I can't believe all these reviews on how much they care for our animals when didn't show any compassion for my poor baby. SHAME ON YOU! Read Less

Sunset Animal Clinic continues to meet and exceed my expectations. I have always felt confident about the care my dogs receive there, and my concerns are always welcomed with considerate responses. I've never felt rushed through an appointment or that my (sometimes excessive) questions were annoying. The staff has always been really great about fitting me in for unexpected visits as well.Read Less

The best animal clinic in miami. I missed that place and all the peolple that work there my love to Dr Fawcett I worked there back in the 80 and 90s w con Karem, Josue mi amor y agradecimineto Marisol valdes. DVM Chile Read Less

Great experience. I have a chiuaua & mixed hotdog while both haven't had any major issues thank god, check ups are very thorough & you dont have to wait very long. They are clean & everyone is nice. Been going now for almost 2 years.Read Less

I love Dr.Rockie.That's what we that know and love him call him.He is the most empathetic vet I have ever known.He really cares about animals.He has always taking time out of his busy schedule to go the extra mile.Sometimes, I feel I will never be able to completely pay him for the effort that he takes upon himself for my pets and my emotional wellbeing.His staff is very caring and courteous too,Sometimes I get nervous and ramble on when I call and they are patient and never cut me off. I am very greatful to have such wonderful people care for my pets. Read Less

This is a great animal CLINIC. It's NOT a hospital. The person who wrote about their experience on July 24, 2011 could not have been speaking about this CLINIC. There is a Sunset Pet Hospital in Hialeah ... a Sunset Animal Hospital in Sunrise ... who knows where they took the puppy. But I am sure of this, it didn't happen at this clinic. The person says they brought their puppy into the hospital at 10:30pm. Sunset Animal Clinic is not open at 10:30pm. They close at 6pm. The reviewer says the doctor said they may need to cut off the puppy's leg .... the clinic would not have said this because they are not an emergency surgical facility. They would have recommended you to take the puppy to the emergency facilty across the street. And you say you got a call the next day at 7am saying the puppy passed away ... they are not open at 7am. They open around 8am. Sunset Animal Clinic is a CLINIC. They are not open the hours you mentioned and they would not take the dog in the emergency state it was in. Sunset Animal Clinic has the nicest staff and most considerated vets. I absolutely would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Additionally, in these hard economic times, I think they are one of the most affordable. All my animals (cats and dogs) have been going to this clinic for 19 years. They win the show in my book!

We had been going to another vets for over 1 1/2 years. Our Rottweiler had an infection, he smelled awful, he itched and scratched all the time from ticks and tick bites and nothing our old vet gave us seemed to help. We had spent over $1,000 on him and he was simply not improving. In fact our ex-vet suggested we might want to have him put to sleep and he's not even 2 years old. I read the great reviews here on line about Sunset Animal Clinic and thought they sounded worth a try. We saw Dr. Khuly two Saturdays ago. Within 48 hours our dog was a new dog. She gave him a pill for his bacterial infection which worked like a treat (Temaril P) , she suggested changing his diet, she gave him a special shampoo also used on horses and now, not even two weeks later, he is a new dog. He doesn't scratch any more, the tick collar she gave him worked immediately, his hair has grown back (he was semi bald) and his appetite is through the roof. He has all his energy back - we call it ""How Jet got his groove back"" - guys don't wait, take your pet to this wonderful caring clinic of great Vets, super staff and people who think ""outside the box"" when treating your pet. We are thrilled with our results! Read Less

I've been going to Sunset Animal Clinic for nearly two decades now and have always been extremely pleased with their services and grateful for their knowledge, professionalism and the care with which they treat their patients. My primary vet has always been Dr. Robert Rochfort (Rocky). I currently have 9 felines and he's absolutely wonderful with cats. I never feel rushed when going to Rocky. He takes the time to explain everything. He regularly attends vet conferences and keeps up to date with the latest information on veterinary science so when your pet has a challenging condition Rocky goes that extra mile to make sure its getting the best treatment. He's called me on weekends (including Sundays when the clinic is closed) to check on one of my pets. I've also gone to Dr. James Fawcett and Dr. Patricia Khuly, the other two vets at the clinic. Both have also been wonderful with me and my pets. I've recommended the Sunset Animal Clinic to an endless number of friends and acquaintances and all who've tried them have stayed with them. They provide what I feel is a higher level of service and care than many other MUCH more expensive vet practices. The support staff is equal to none. ALL of them are super sweet, friendly, caring, professional. One thing I like about everyone at this clinic is that they all have pets themselves - often more than one - and I think this is indicative of people who love animals, have compassion and respect for them. They not only know me but they know my pets by name and often greet them warmly, cooing and doing that pet-talk thing we all do with pets and babies ;-) I have no hesitation when I need to leave one of my felines at the clinic for a day or more because I know they'll receive lots of love and attention and care. I live FAR from this clinic - 40-60 mins in bad traffic - but I still go to them because I have never found a place I like more. They have TON of long-time clients because they are the BEST.
