This is one of the best clinics that I have taken my dog to for routine care and surgery. Everyone is kind, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend them to anyone and as a matter of fact I have done so recently. The staff is top notch from the techs to the receptionists and all the Vets that I have dealt with up until now.
Thank you all so very much for taking such good care of my special sweetheart. Read Less

So disgusted in this establishment! Disgusting NASTY workers and the worst one is MICHELLE !!!! Very nasty and disgusting to my family and myself no compassion even after my 4 pound Maltese had surgery and was there to get the stitches out made us wait and wait even though we had a appointment and then to talk to us deragotory the way she did !!! Threw her hands up in the air and walked away talking negatively about us! Very lazy workers as well like how hard is it to fill out a insurance claim form!!!!!!! We have spent thousands and thousand on our beloved little boy and no compassion at all so disgusted in this vet and even more so in the crater face disgusting MICHELLE!!! Do not take your pet here if you do do not associate with Michelle !!! Never again I will make it my job to make sure everyone knows what’s a horrible place Read Less

All I can say is so sad. I had to post one star in order to write. The manager Michelle is a very rude person. Two different times when we were there she had an attitude when asked a question. She threw her hands up yelled at us and continued to talk about us as she walked away. Then refused to check us out. Completely insane this is ok and management had nothing to say. Last time I checked behavior like that is not right. My pet is my family and I treat him as such. I am entitled to ask a question. You are a vet manager and you are supposed to help me and my pet that is your job. Maybe you should decide to go into another line of business where you don't need to answer questions or help families and their pets. If you want to go to an establishment that cares truly about you and your pet I highly recommend you go somewhere else. Read Less

Worst vet office I have ever been to. My dog has allergies to grass and certain foods and also needed knee surgery and any time we brought him to them we were met with an attitude from Michelle one of the vet techs there. And due to her rude nonunderstanding attitude we were told we can no longer take our dog to their facility and this is after they sent us to get him surgery and we had an appointment to have his stitches removed there. I wouldn’t recommend anyone bring there animal to this facility of uncaring animal haters. Read Less

I've been taking my dog Koko to North Port Animal since she was a puppy, nearly 12 years ago. I've had great experiences with all of the vets and the staff throughout the years. To the people who gave a single star - being a pet owner means being responsible for their care. If you can't afford a vet, you shouldn't own a pet. Posting a nasty review because you wanted free care is unfair and petty. Read Less

Took my daughter's 11 year old dog that has a Grade 4 heart murmur in yesterday. I could not have asked for a more compassionate vet and staff. We are dog sitting for 2 weeks and quite fearful that we were going to have to call her and let her know Bailey was on a downward spiral. We did let her know we were taking her to the vet. Dr. Berrish was wonderful and able to give her additional medication to help her. Dr Berrish even called today to be certain she was improving. I have a lot of respect for him checking up on her. It was truly appreciated. The entir staff, from reception to assistants to vets are amazing and I would recommend to anyone that cares about their pets to seek care from them Read Less

August 30th, 2016 was and will always be one of the hardest days of my/our life. We had to make the decision to do what was best for our four legged "son" of 11 years Coco. He was suffering from frequent seizures among other things. His heart just wasn't strong enough for him to not have to live miserably the rest of his life. We made the choice to have him put down. I can't not express enough how wonderful and caring the entire staff @ North Port Animal Hospital was during this difficult time for us. I honestly would not put the care of any other pet in anyone else€s hands but theirs. From taking the time to answer ALL our questions before making the decision to have our dog put down, to making the dreadful appointment, to arriving and through the entire process we genuinely felt the level of care from EVERY staff member @ NPAH. We will be forever grateful to them for taking care of our "son" in his final hours and beyond.Read Less

After traveling from our home in Maryland to visit family in Florida our little chihuahua Moose was injured and after two visits to a local ER vet over the holiday weekend we were still no closer to understanding why he was in pain and yelping when touched. After two different diagnoses from the ER vet we were desperate to find someone, anyone to help. Dr. Martinelli and North Port Animal Hospital was both very caring, professional and correct in his diagnoses of a soft tissue injury our little guy had suffered. I cannot recommend them enough his staff were polite and friendly. Read Less
