I have been a loyal customer since they opened for almost 10 years. Our puppy started going there and at first was pleased and felt staff was thorough. Last Summer I called because we going on vacation and needed to have all vaccination and nails trimming. I brought my pet at correct appointment time and after being told over the phone everything could be done when I arrived I was told I would have to come back for nails. Almost missed our booked vacation. This year regular checkup onto of some other concerns I asked over the phone if everything can be done and was assured that yes. We can do a check up vaccination and nails. Charged me for an extra visit 2 years in a row. Then charged me for medication for my pet that may or may not work.I guess when yuh pu build a multi million dollar facility then you have to start charging more and more. If you have tons of money and like overpaying this is the right place. Check your receipts for extra charges.This was the job they did to our family members. Read Less

I just can't say enough good things about Palencia Pet Clinic. Everything about this clinic is top notch, from the staff to the cleanliness of the office.

Excellent service. Knowledgeable, friendly and clean. Dr Vencil immediately diagnosed my Doxie’s serious condition of an enlarged heart due to valve prolapse. Another vet had erroneously been treating her for acid reflux for months with no improvement. I was in search of answers when I saw an excellent review for their office. I called and they got me in the next day. They did the X-rays that should have been done months before. I’m so thankful to him and his staff for buying me more time with her and making her more comfortable even though it can’t be reversed. She is 15 years old. Highly recommend them!❤️🐾 Read Less

I've been with Palencia Pet Clinic since I moved to St. Augustine a little over 2 years ago. Dr. Peter has been my favorite vet. Unfortunately, we just live too far from the clinic to continue using this practice. I'm sad to be leaving. A little more than a year ago, my dog temporarily dislocated her hip and it was also discovered she has a floating patella condition common in her breed. Instead of suggesting expensive surgery, the doctor recommended Tiffany get adequate exercise and lessen her diet so she could lose 1/2 a pound. (Tiffany is a teacup breed and should be under 7 lbs). I was very thankful the doctor showed a genuine concern for my dog's well being and suggested a health change rather than a surgical one. Tiffany is doing great and has no sign of either issue. The entire staff at Palencia Pet Clinic has been wonderful. Thank you for everything! Read Less
