They checked for a UTI with a Ph strip. They have no diagnostic equipment in office. 3 weeks later another vet confirmed that my dog does and did have an UTI now that she is peeing blood. When they did an actual diagnostic test, spinning the sample, they found it had a huge amount of pus and bacteria in it. I am very lucky that there where not crystals in it, which can cause damage to organs. So I paid $140 dollars to Live Oak to take my dog home with a UTI and she suffered for another 3 weeks before receiving competent care at another vet clinic. I believed their diagnosis, shame on me. I also asked about her vision. He told me it was fine. The other vet immediately remarked that she was getting the beginnings of cataracts. Read Less

Always attentive to our furry friends' needs. They've saved us a lot of money. Our dog is prone to health issues. Emergency vet recommends $1000 to diagnose? No explanation, just an open palm. At Live Oak we get an explanation of what is going on, and how the treatment will help along with the risks of a particular plan. We love this vet. Read Less

This has been my vet for years. I live in Parrish now but still make the drive to St pete for Mylowe (my dog) to be cared for here. The doctor is very caring and has always called and check on my dogs for follow ups. Read Less

I have been taking our pets (multiple dogs and one cat) there for twenty years. Great staff always and Dr Bryan has treated us terrifically over the years. Always willing to talk about our options and very caring. Read Less

Great place to go. Caring staff and doctor! My dog had surgery here and I was contacted several times by the staff to update me on her progress and I even received a call the next day to check on her. The receptionist is a sweet lady and the Vet. tech was too. The doctor answered all my questions and was very compassionate when diagnosing my dog with cancer. They truly love the animals. Read Less

Finally found a nice vet! We've been through three different ones looking for one our dog wasn't terrified of and who was nice to us. The Dr here took his time and answered our long list of questions. The staff took their time with our puppy to get her comfortable with everything. So excited to have found them. Read Less

Have been taking my cats here since we got referral from our neighbor.  This is a first class place.  Brian is very personable, talks over concerns with you and does a great job.  He even called on a weekend to check in on my cat after I had brought him in earlier and got a prescription for my cats eye issue.  I feel lucky to have been referred to him almost as soon as I moved here. Very reasonable prices as an additional bonus. Read Less

Odd that the previous reviewer had such a bad experience. I had totally the opposite, where the staff and Dr. were absolute knowledgable and courteous professionals. The doctor fully explained the situation, the medications and my treatment options from the most expensive to the least. The doctor even followed up 7 days later to see how the medications were doing. All in all a great veterinary hospital. Read Less

The staff there were very nice, and friendly, but the Dr was a smug and rude man. I have not ever been spoken to in such a manner - and I was his paying customer! He did not fully explain what was going on with my animal and also was not interested in any questions I had. He would not explain about the medication he gave me and he would not discuss any other treatment options. He told me to go do my own research! I would not ever go back there again. Read Less
