Fruitville Veterinary Clinic

This is the best clinic that I have been too. Anytime I am there all my questions are answered. Dr. Pepper is very good and my dogs love him. Thank you all for being so nice and for treating my animals with love. Big thumbs up to Fruitville Veterinary Clinic.👍👍👍👍😃😃😃 Read Less

I have been taking my dogs (3 of them) to Dr Pepper and his staff since early 2009. They are always professional, helpful, accommodating, caring, fun and loving to my boys. They take care of my babies like they are theirs. We found out that my middle baby had cancer over a year ago and it was really bad. Dr. Pepper, Dr Carson and the entire staff, could not have been more wonderful in how they took care of my boy and how they helped me when it came time to let him go. I wouldn't take my babies anywhere else. Read Less

Dr. Pepper and his staff are the BEST! They have cared for all of our animals in the past 30 years. We have even brought in wild animals in need of care and Dr. Pepper has provided excellent and compassionate care for them as well. I strongly recommend Fruitville Veterinary Clinic for all your pet needs. Read Less

Always thorough, careful, and compassionate. An obviously steady hand at the helm, Dr. Pepper has years of experience, and it shows. We have 4 dogs, and relocated to the area about a year ago. He has provided exceptional care, and goes out of his way to be sure we understand everything he has done or recommends. Staff is gracious and pleasant. We feel very blessed to have found this office. We have always had a large number of dogs, and have lived in many places with them all over the US. This has been by far the best veterinary experience. As a physician to humans, I can appreciate the outstanding nature of this practice. We recommend Dr. Pepper enthusiastically and with no hesitation! Read Less

I have trusted Dr. Pepper and his team with the care of my dogs for the past 20+ years, and have always had full confidence that they were receiving the best possible care. The Clinic is so clean and bright, the staff are always so courteous and knowledgeable, and Dr. Pepper does a thorough investigation and provides a complete explanation for any problem that the dog is facing. I am thankful that they are here for me. Read Less

Dr pepper as taken care of my black lab for over eighteen years.girl my dog as everything from cancer to a broken leg. One time she ran into a stick and had a real bad open cut. Dr pepper fixed her up for half the price three other vets wanted in town.Now she as past away and I had Dr pepper help me with that. Its one of the hardest thing I had to do in a long time. There staff supported me and helped out so much. Even then DR pepper charged a better price than four other places. Its not the cost at all, I would of spent any amount to help my dog. DR pepper made the passing way very easy for her. so thanks for all the great years. Read Less

Was recommended to go here and made mistake of taking my two dogs and cat here. I was double charged for a rabies vaccination back in June. Was not aware of it until over a month later when I decided to take my animals back to my original vet-Southgate Animal Clinic (whom I highly recommend-much less expensive) & they pointed it out to me. How come I did not get a call informing me I had a credit? In addition, while I was at Fruitville Veterinary Clinic, I ended up paying close to $500.00 for various charges. Had I agreed to everything the young vet ( recommended, I would have left there, paying close to $700-800.00.) In addition , my cat, who has never been checked for Feline Leukemia or vaccinated was supposedly given a vaccination for it. I KNOW that he was not because I distinctly remember being in exam room worrying about all the $ this visit was going to cost me and discussing it with vet and technician. The test was $52 and the vaccine was $23 plus a $2.00 biohazard disposal fee. I said I would do it when I came back (although I had no intention of going back there). Yet, on my bill, there is also a charge for a FL vaccination. Why would I agree to vaccinate my cat without a test? When I called FV Clinic today about double-billing on rabies, I was told that cat had vaccine which he did not. It is very likely that due to the mistake made with rabies, I was  also charged for something I did not want done at that time. Woman with British accent even admitted to NOT having been in room with me, so HOW does she know anything? I would not recommend this clinic to anyone. We will spend money on our pets, no doubt, but no need to put you in the poor-house when there are other options. They also gave me an estimate for a spay that would cost me over $500 &  a teeth cleaning on a 9lb dog that will cost $491.00 Southgate will only cost $198.00 & that includes bloodwork. Also, FV Clinic charged me $23 per dog to trim toe nails and although they did trim one dog's nails completely (front & back), they had difficulty with my little dog and were only able to trim his front nails, yet still charged me full price, even though they only trimmed the front nails because the vet (Carson) couldn't see the quick.

We are new to Sarasota and so thankful to have found Fruitville Veterinary Clinic! Every aspect of our first visit was excellent; very happy to have found a wonderful place to care for our amazing little Chico. Read Less

Dr, Pepper and his staff our awesome. First time going there with my two cats. They were thete for a yearly exam and vaccinations. Dr. Pepper was very nice, calm with my babies. Very nice, smart, explained everything to me. Told me what breed my cats were and said they were beautiful and in great health. His office is very clean and organized. Very big and stocked with all kinds of food and other stuff for your babies. My old vets office was dirty and smelled like urine. Im sl glad I found Dr. Pepper. Now Im sad were moving out of state next year. The prices are not too much, not bad. They even give you a welcoming bag of goodies. I highly recommend Dr. Pepper. Read Less

My friend had been going to Dr. Pepper for a few years, so when I moved back to Sarasota I decided to take my Missy to him. It was an enjoyable experience for both of us. Dr. Pepper and his staff were very helpful, and Dr. Pepper answered my questions, and I could understand his answers. We will be going back there for sure. Missy liked everyone there. Read Less

I and my cats have been with Dr. Pepper for more than a decade. I can not say enough about the care and consideration provided by Dr. Pepper through the years. I wish to thank Dr. Pepper's staff for their exceptional service. I cannot list all the ways they support patients and their humans. For instance, if a prescription requires half a pill, they will cut the pills for you. They are consistently understanding and helpful and that is greatly appreciated. Read Less

I had my dog's teeth cleaned and was extremely pleased with the whole experience. Dr Pepper examined him and went over the procedure with me. A call to reassure me that Ripley went through the surgery and was recovering. When I picked up Ripley later in the day Dr Pepper met with me and gave me Ripley's X-ray and photos of the before and after along with a folder on canine dental care. I have had Ripley's teeth cleaned before at another veterinary clinic in Michigan and never had the service I received from Fruitville Veterinary Clinic. I would highly recommend any services! PS The staff is wonderful too! Read Less

We've moved a lot and it's always difficult to find a great vet, but everyone at Fruitville Veterinary Clinic exceeded my expectations. Everyone from the vet techs to the front desk associates are so helpful and friendly. Dr. Pepper truly cares and listens/answers your individual questions. He is always so nice and calming to both my cat and dog. I would highly recommend trusting them with your best friend's veterinary care! Read Less

Dr Pepper and his staff have been treating our animals for a long while now and we have always been very satisfied with the service and treatment our animals have gotten. I hope they are around for a long time in the future. Read Less

Dr. Pepper and his staff are the best!  I've lived in Sarasota for 45 years and Fruitville Veterinary Clinic has taken care of my dogs and cats for the past 10 years. Professional, cordial and bend -over -backwards terrific! Read Less

My dog Chewie actually gets excited when he gets to go to the vet, and that is unusual. Dr Pepper and all of his staff are absolutely amazing, they all care about animals and you can tell by the reaction of your pet. My dog is a very skeptical puppy and he is wagging his tail walking through those doors. Never had a bad experience at Fruitville veterinary clinic! As long as my dog is happy, I'm happy! Read Less
