I am very picky when it comes to Veterinary practices because I was a vet tech for some years, I've always been on the other side of things, and know how it goes. Dr. Brown and the staff here were amazing when I brought in one of my cats. I got a same day appointment on Sunday when my cat was sick. We discussed everything, figured out what was essential and held off of others until she was feeling better. They also ran the tests in the proper order. My animals are like my children and they were very respectful and understanding with my wishes (drawing from leg instead of jugular, keeping her in the room during procedures, etc) and my cat didn't freak out. They were kind and gentle with her and it went exactly how I hoped it would. We were not originally planning on making this our Vet (we wanted eastern medicine vs western) and went here because it was open on Sunday when she was sick. However, with Dr. Brown having an understanding and accepting attitude towards natural living, we are going to keep coming back here. They didn't try to pull one over on us and make us run 15 tests just to figure out why her stomach was feeling like crap. I didn't feel rushed at all. Dr. Brown was casual and professional, and spoke to us about not only our pets but about life and he got to actually know us. The bill was $257 for: an office visit/exam, oral dewormer, injectable dewormer, fecal test, snap fiv/felv test, and fortoflora - which is very reasonable. I hope that future appointment are like this one, I will be very happy! Read Less

This establishment advertises they are a reproductive practice. This is largely inaccurate.  I am a breeder and knowledgeable relative to Vets who are proactive in artificial insemination. Vets who focus on reproductive factors are very aware that time is of the essence.  Called and emailed as they practice receptionist requested early in day and NO ONE returned calls all afternoon. When I finally got a tech (at 5:06 p.m.) to speak with me, she stated they could see her first thing in the morning.  After waiting on hold for another five minutes, I was informed the first appointment they had was three days away.  When a dam is in heat it is important for timing and bloodwork to be available.  I have no idea how their general vet practice is but their advertising is deceptive and they should have the professionalism to advise you that this is not their area of expertise.

The vets are good...but I recently had my 1 year old Golden Doodle be boarded for 4 days and based on the groomers assessment she might have been laying in a puddle of water and not properly dried. When I picked her up after the Xmas holiday she was matted all over, I pride my self on taking care of her and brushing my Doodle on a daily basis...which is why the groomers freaked when they saw and touched her...I called the Vet and asked what happened and the almost equally upset technician said she was sending an email to the manager...I have yet to hear back. 100  dollars later my beautiful puppy is shaved down...still beautiful but damn she went thru a lot!

My cat Wilfred had an abscess on his neck/chin area and I was very concerned since at first I wasn't sure if that was the case or not. I called right when they opened and were super helpful getting me in and having someone see Wilfred right away. The abscess started to bleed out so they took me in sooner than planned.They were very kind and informative about what was happening. I had to leave Wilfred for treatment and had to go attend a funeral not long after dropping him off. Since I had no idea when I was coming back they waived the fee for having him stay there almost the whole day. Wilfred is feeling much better and looks happy! You can really tell the people that work here actually enjoy helping you and your fur babies! Read Less

Looking for a new veterinarian is hard especially when you’re loosing a vet that you had and trusted for over 10 years.. When we moved to St Pete , that was the case, needing a veterinarian at a time of emergency. We went to a few and were unsuccessful and then, we came to Dr. Brown at Central animal Hospital. Search the Internet and we found Dr. Brown.His background with Boston Terriers and having six of his own is what brought us to him.He was amazing with beanie and now he’s taking care of our new baby Waffles. I don’t know what we do without him. He takes such care and pride in his work. There’s no other doctor that I would take my Boston terrier to or any of my furbabies for that matter. The staff are friendly and amazing !! They also take such care in their work with all animals. I love just stopping in there on the fly, just so that Waffles can get some love and attention from them. If you looking for a good vet look no farther central animal hospital Dr. Brown#1!!!

This is the first vet that I've ever been to that truly cares about both your pet and your wallet. While babysitting mom's dog, we noticed something wasn't right with him. Central A H got us an appointment that night. The doc starting talking about certain tests, blah blah blah, and said she would come back with an estimate. So of course all I'm thinking is: great this is going to be at least $700. But no, it was only $80!!!! And that was with the antibiotics. I do not think I have ever paid that little for even an office visit. Great vet and great vet tech. Central AH will be my new vet for sure. Read Less

She was knowledgeable about the breed and knew specifics for special requirements. The technician was wonderful too and took great care of my dog, and went over everything in detail. They email everything, are flexible on schedules, and give great professional service. They called the next day after each visit to make sure she was ok. We've been there 3 months and are very happy.

Central Animal Hospital is, in my opinion, the best vet in town. Dr. Brown has taken excellent care of my cat since 2009 and my Boerboel (mastiff) since 2011 when I got her as a small pup. I have always felt confident that my animals shave gotten the best care. Dr. brown is excellent, taking the time to talk about what is going on with your pet and answer any of your questions. Frankly he has gone above and beyond what you would expect from a vet. He is experienced and frequently attends conferences to keep up with changes in medical techniques, medication and nutrition. His experience was extremely important to me with, having a giant dog breed and the special care they require (nutrition, preventative surgeries to prevent bloat, geriatric care). They put the profits back into the facility and offer the latest technology and procedures to their patients. If you want to provide the best care for your furry loved ones, you should take them here. You get what you pay for. All the vet techs and staff are friendly and are great with the animals.Read Less

We recently switched Vets due to our previous Vet being too busy to properly treat our cat's ongoing urinary issues. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Gunter and receiving his recommendations for our feline friend. Within 5 minutes, he offered us more information and potential problems and solutions than our previous Vet offered us in the 2 years we have been experiencing these issues. Since we moved into the area in 2008, our 4 pets have aged and developed many different medical issues in which we have had to seek more experienced doctors and specialists across the Tampa Bay area for those issues. So we have experienced many local Vets over the years. We were content at our previous Vet until the somewhat new owner started treating our little guy rather than the previous owner/veteran of the office. We saw the great reviews for Central Animal Hospital and were a little reluctant to make the jump until we met Dr. Gunter today. It was a great relief to find an alternative, knowledgeable doctor in this area that wants to help us rather than leave us high and dry, or wet from urine in this case. And one that doesn't repeatedly state that it's "behavioral" without ruling out medical first. We look forward to working further with Dr. Gunter and thank you for assigning us to him! Read Less

There are so many positive things to say I don't know where to begin. The staff is second to none. They love their patients as if they were their own fur babies. I needed a vet for Daisy, but wanted one that had been at the ER. I got lucky finding the one that helped care for her during her stay. The love they showed was AMAZING. The battle was fought together, and while Daisy was very sick she lost the battle. The understanding and compassion shown from everyone was great. Made it a no brainer when Yoda came home after being gone for awhile with a nasty hole in his leg. During his and Daisy's treatment we seen other Drs filling in, They were no different in the care and compassion shown. Yoda is on his way to recovering .

I am very picky when it comes to Veterinary practices because I was a vet tech for some years, I've always been on the other side of things, and know how it goes. Dr. Brown and the staff here were amazing when I brought in one of my cats. I got a same day appointment on Sunday when my cat was sick. We discussed everything, figured out what was essential and held off of others until she was feeling better. They also ran the tests in the proper order. My animals are like my children and they were very respectful and understanding with my wishes (drawing from leg instead of jugular, keeping her in the room during procedures, etc) and my cat didn't freak out. They were kind and gentle with her and it went exactly how I hoped it would. We were not originally planning on making this our Vet (we wanted eastern medicine vs western) and went here because it was open on Sunday when she was sick. However, with Dr. Brown having an understanding and accepting attitude towards natural living, we are going to keep coming back here. They didn't try to pull one over on us and make us run 15 tests just to figure out why her stomach was feeling like crap. I didn't feel rushed at all. Dr. Brown was casual and professional, and spoke to us about not only our pets but about life and he got to actually know us. The bill was $257 for: an office visit/exam, oral dewormer, injectable dewormer, fecal test, snap fiv/felv test, and fortoflora - which is very reasonable. I hope that future appointment are like this one, I will be very happy! Read Less

This establishment advertises they are a reproductive practice. This is largely inaccurate.  I am a breeder and knowledgeable relative to Vets who are proactive in artificial insemination. Vets who focus on reproductive factors are very aware that time is of the essence.  Called and emailed as they practice receptionist requested early in day and NO ONE returned calls all afternoon. When I finally got a tech (at 5:06 p.m.) to speak with me, she stated they could see her first thing in the morning.  After waiting on hold for another five minutes, I was informed the first appointment they had was three days away.  When a dam is in heat it is important for timing and bloodwork to be available.  I have no idea how their general vet practice is but their advertising is deceptive and they should have the professionalism to advise you that this is not their area of expertise.

The vets are good...but I recently had my 1 year old Golden Doodle be boarded for 4 days and based on the groomers assessment she might have been laying in a puddle of water and not properly dried. When I picked her up after the Xmas holiday she was matted all over, I pride my self on taking care of her and brushing my Doodle on a daily basis...which is why the groomers freaked when they saw and touched her...I called the Vet and asked what happened and the almost equally upset technician said she was sending an email to the manager...I have yet to hear back. 100  dollars later my beautiful puppy is shaved down...still beautiful but damn she went thru a lot!

My cat Wilfred had an abscess on his neck/chin area and I was very concerned since at first I wasn't sure if that was the case or not. I called right when they opened and were super helpful getting me in and having someone see Wilfred right away. The abscess started to bleed out so they took me in sooner than planned.They were very kind and informative about what was happening. I had to leave Wilfred for treatment and had to go attend a funeral not long after dropping him off.

Looking for a new veterinarian is hard especially when you’re loosing a vet that you had and trusted for over 10 years.. When we moved to St Pete , that was the case, needing a veterinarian at a time of emergency. We went to a few and were unsuccessful and then, we came to Dr. Brown at Central animal Hospital. Search the Internet and we found Dr. Brown.His background with Boston Terriers and having six of his own is what brought us to him.He was amazing with beanie and now he’s taking care of our new baby Waffles. I don’t know what we do without him. He takes such care and pride in his work. There’s no other doctor that I would take my Boston terrier to or any of my furbabies for that matter. The staff are friendly and amazing !! They also take such care in their work with all animals. I love just stopping in there on the fly, just so that Waffles can get some love and attention from them. If you looking for a good vet look no farther central animal hospital Dr. Brown#1!!!

Central Animal Hospital is, in my opinion, the best vet in town. Dr. Brown has taken excellent care of my cat since 2009 and my Boerboel (mastiff) since 2011 when I got her as a small pup. I have always felt confident that my animals shave gotten the best care. Dr. brown is excellent, taking the time to talk about what is going on with your pet and answer any of your questions. Frankly he has gone above and beyond what you would expect from a vet. He is experienced and frequently attends conferences to keep up with changes in medical techniques, medication and nutrition. His experience was extremely important to me with, having a giant dog breed and the special care they require (nutrition, preventative surgeries to prevent bloat, geriatric care). They put the profits back into the facility and offer the latest technology and procedures to their patients. If you want to provide the best care for your furry loved ones, you should take them here. You get what you pay for. All the vet techs and staff are friendly and are great with the animals.Read Less

We recently switched Vets due to our previous Vet being too busy to properly treat our cat's ongoing urinary issues. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Gunter and receiving his recommendations for our feline friend. Within 5 minutes, he offered us more information and potential problems and solutions than our previous Vet offered us in the 2 years we have been experiencing these issues. Since we moved into the area in 2008, our 4 pets have aged and developed many different medical issues in which we have had to seek more experienced doctors and specialists across the Tampa Bay area for those issues. So we have experienced many local Vets over the years. We were content at our previous Vet until the somewhat new owner started treating our little guy rather than the previous owner/veteran of the office. We saw the great reviews for Central Animal Hospital and were a little reluctant to make the jump until we met Dr. Gunter today. It was a great relief to find an alternative, knowledgeable doctor in this area that wants to help us rather than leave us high and dry, or wet from urine in this case. And one that doesn't repeatedly state that it's "behavioral" without ruling out medical first. We look forward to working further with Dr. Gunter and thank you for assigning us to him! Read Less

The battle was fought together, and while Daisy was very sick she lost the battle. The understanding and compassion shown from everyone was great. Made it a no brainer when Yoda came home after being gone for awhile with a nasty hole in his leg. During his and Daisy's treatment we seen other Drs filling in, They were no different in the care and compassion shown. Yoda is on his way to recovering . I wouldn't go anywhere else when it comes to my fur babies. There's no better feeling then trust when it comes to picking a vet and I trust them 200%.Read Less
