We had to take our Baby Girl (Siamese Cat) there yesterday where she was admitted to the ICU for treatment for complications of feline diabetes. They have been very good at keeping us updated on her status. We pray for a miraculous recovery as she is in the caring hands of the good people at UF Small Animal Hospital Staff Read Less

These DVM's are not just Vets. They teach others to be Vets. They don't need to teach them to care. It's not a lucrative profession however each one is enriched through the love that they return home on four legs. Im so grateful! Read Less

We have taken our animals there several times and we were so happy with the care our pets have gotten. Our last furry kid (an 11 year old black labrador) had to put to sleep unfortunately but they made the effort giving us all the options for him. Less then a week later we received in the mail a sympathy card and a stone with Busters actual foot imprint in the stone. We did not expect it and I am so thankful that his Dr took the time to give me something from Buster I can never get back. Read Less

My name is Ellen Pavlik President and founder of Joshua's House for Golden Rescue. We have brought many dogs up to the University. Both through the emergency department and the regular hospital appointments.We have always had the very best care for all the dogs we have brought up. We now have Murphy (The Little GoldenDoodle) who had a fractured spine and two crushed disks. He did have surgery and now goes twice a week for physical therapy. But the one VERY special person I want to mention is Dr. Luiz Bolfer a Cardiologist ,He saw a Golden we had just imported from Turkey through the rescue groups in Florida.Yanni had a grade 4-5 heart murmur. And it was found to be SAS. But since Yanni has no symptoms he said he could be adopted with a check in a year. This man was the best, kindest most caring person we have ever met at the University or any place. Thank you so very much Dr. Bolfer from Yanni and all of us at Joshua's House. You are number one in our book.Read Less

Emma has been seen by 4 specialty services at UF. I have been impressed with every visit we have. Caring and professional at all times. Will miss Dr. Sosa being Emma's cardiologist. He is an awesome Veterinarian and he will do great things in the future! Emma, my almost 12 year old Cavalier will go to UF for all her Veterinary needs for the rest of her life. Read Less

There are no words that can truly express my gratitude to UF Small Animal Hospital, particularly their ICU. They saved my dog when multiple other vets told me there was no hope, no options, no chance. My then 6-year-old Yorkie, Beesly, was at the UF ICU for 32 days. We rushed him over 350 miles away to get there and I'm so glad we did. We are grateful for every day with him and thanks to hemodialysis (the only place in the state that offers it for dogs), and lots of TLC, he survived leptospirosis when no one said he would. Almost a year later, he is perfectly healthy on no meds and will lead a long and healthy life by my side. Dr. Sam Campos, the whole ICU staff, and senior vets were amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank youRead Less

Better than hospitals for humans! Whoever runs this place knows exactly what they are doing. The staff, Dr.'s and students are top notch, and the care they provided my dog was beyond compassionate and caring. They followed up constantly and gave us peace of mind leaving her for surgery. It was like leaving her at Grandma's house; that's how much love they showed my baby. If your fur baby needs surgery, I cannot recommend this place enough! Very impressed and grateful. Thank you for all you do! :) Read Less

I hope this post gets to all the wonderful staff that took care of my precious mare , Corita at the large animals vet. I would like to thank each and every one of them from the bottom of my heart. I brought my my faithful loving horse of 16 years to them 1 month ago with my heart totally torn. From the moment we arrived and even before we got there they were so genuinely concerned for her. They showed true love , compassion, and empathy toward her and myself. When I had to make the choice her to put her to rest I was not able emotionally to be there. But from my experience with the staff I believe they showed her the love, compassion, and empathy till her last breath. It was one of the hardest days of my life and somehow knowing from what I experienced and saw with the staff I felt comfort. Dr Kirkpatrick was very professional and kind. Know that because of everyone's love that I saw towards my best faithful friend helped me, my family and friends in so many ways. Thanks for listening to all my stories we told you about her and how much we loved her. I know you listened because the comments were in the sweet card that was sent to me. Thank you so much. Please continue the amazing care from your hearts. It made a difference in my life. Sincerely with all my heart... Kristie wardRead Less
