Bayshore Animal Hospital And Avian Practice

We brought one of our chickens here to asses an injury. Dr. Dowling was kind, honest and an expert of her craft. The whole staff was friendly and the energy was so warm and inviting. I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Absolutely amazing care and compassion for you and your pet. The doctors and staff are the most empathetic of any vet I've ever been to. I never feel like I'm just a dollar sign like a many other offices - they truly seem to care. Highly, highly recommend after trying a couple of other vets in St. Pete. The team here is incredible! Read Less

This is the best veterinarian place in my experience and had fantastic results with the entire office including Dr. Dowling and the prices were so reasonable for so much work and care that they did I highly recommended I'm so happy I live close by. I also saw two other doctors there and they were very caring competent as well. Read Less

We got a service for two cats on February 7,2018. Dr.Stephen Wehrmann did an excellent Neuter surgery for my younger cat and Medical Exam for my Siamese cat.We Thank very much all hospital staff for the great attention and effort they make. Very nice, professional and responsive team. Read Less

We have two senior pets (dog & cat) and trust their complex care needs to the staff and doctors at Bayshore. Their front staff is nice, friendly, and welcoming. Dr. Wehrmann is knowledgeable, caring, and we like the amount of time he spends explaining our pet's care needs. The clinic is also decorated very nicely and I look forward to visiting the vet! I recommend this place to anyone looking for vet care or boarding. Read Less

We absolutely love this place! We’ve been to several vets over years - all good with no complaints but Bayshore Animal Hospital tops them all! The front desk folks are helpful and accommodating and Dr. Sanders is especially caring, knowledgeable and skilled. You can tell this practice knows their stuff and their patients. A big thank you!

Ive been bringing my sweet greyhound Tim here for a while now for a variety of services. Most recently, teeth cleaning. for those of you who don't know, greyhounds require extra special care while under anasthesia as the risks are high with this breed. These guys know what they are doing as they deal with greyhounds a lot. There were three other greyhounds there for dental work the same morning when I was dropping Tim off. All was well and smooth. And pearly white not to mention. The staff are a delight, they care greatly, they are always smiling and joking when appropriate and express empathy when needed. They are very respectful and genuinely care for my dog as if he was their child. All my questions are always answered to satisfaction. I can't thank you guys enough for the good work that you do and for making me feel like Tim and I are valued as much as the others. Bless your hearts. Read Less

Will NEVER go back to this vet. Long time customer /patient of bayshore and in the last few years it seems like they care more about the money then the animals. Now I take my pets to ROYAL PETS right down the road and I am much happier with there service they are Awesome. Read Less

I cannot recommend Bayshore Animal Hospital enough. From the waiting room to my checking out, the experience was excellent. The practice is very clean and the facilities are top-notch. Special thanks to Dr. Wehrmann and his capable staff for their commitment to quality veterinary care in Tampa Bay. Read Less

Dr. Sanders is one super intelligent, compassionate Vet. He spends an incredible amount of time with his patients and owners. He is very detail oriented & offers to share a great deal of information. I am so impressed each time I visit him with my family's aging Daschund. Yesterday I brought in my personal sidekick, an Agapornis Parrot & was introduced to Dr. Janel Dowling. Dr. Dowling was fantastic & exceptionally well versed jn Aviary Medicine & is another highly informative & compassionate Physician. The Dr.s assistants and office staff are truly wonderful. Their large staff have been extremely well chosen & every one of them take a large interest in the pets and their owners. You won't find me going anywhere else with my pets!Read Less

EXCELLENT! DR. DOWLING TREATS SANDY (THE BOUVIER), AND STAR (THE AUSSIE), AS IF THEY WERE HER OWN. THE LEVEL OF CARE AND EXPERTISE IS UNBEATABLE. WHEN DR. DOWLING TELLS ME WHAT IS AILING MY DOGS...I BELIEVE IT BECAUSE SHE HASN'T BEEN WRONG ONCE! THE STAFF MEMBERS ARE ALSO WONDERFUL AND IF YOUR PET NEEDS TO BE SEEN, THEY WILL TRY THEIR VERY BEST TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. FROM THE PEOPLE AT THE FRONT DESK TO THE PEOPLE WHO ASSIST IN TREATING ANIMALS...I CANNOT COMPLIMENT AND/OR THANK THEM ENOUGH. I LOOKED FAR AND WIDE FOR THE THE BEST AND I FOUND IT...AND EVEN THOUGH SANDY AND STAR DON'T ALWAYS SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION...THEY TOO ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE EXCELLENCE IN CARE, TREATMENT, AND RESULTS THEY RECEIVE AT BAYSHORE ANIMAL HOSPITAL. .

Staff is wonderful and so caring. Dr Dowling is so sweet and caring. Dr. Sanders is awesome, I can't thank him enough. I wouldn't take my 6 ferrets anywhere else. Hard to find a vet you can trust. 6 paws up for all the staff. Edgar and Hope are doing great after their implants. Thank you Dr. Sanders Read Less

I am so thankful for everyone at Bayshore Animal. They have ALWAYS been there for me with all of my many animal emergencies. I completely trust and respect their care. Some of my furry and feathered kids would not be here without them. Many thanks to all of you! Read Less

When I brought my VERY senior dog in I thought I was going to have to put her down. Bayshore provided perfect care. I brought her home the next day unsure, but I gave her her medications, followed instructions, and now, a week later, she's a happy, healthy girl again. I can't say enough good things about this facility! Read Less

My 16-year-old dog developed a serious problem overnight - I was afraid she had suffered a massive stroke and I would have to put her down. Bayshore diagnosed her condition as Geriatric Vestibular Syndrome, prescribed medication and sent her home. Read Less

My first experience with Bayshore was when I adopted a dog and he became very ill very soon after. I had just moved to the area and had not established with a vet yet. As I called one veterinarian office after another in desperation, I kept getting the same rejection: Sorry, we only have time to see out current clients today€that is until I called Bayshore. I was told to go ahead and to bring him in right away and they would take care of us, the front office staff didn€t even have to ask the doctor- just said they would help. When we got there they realized how ill he was and a client even said to go ahead of them. Dr. Dowling took excellent care of us during a very difficult time. My pup received excellent medical care, and she was there for a very difficult decision in the end. She offered all the options available, allowing me to make an informed decision. Dr. Dowling was very supportive, along with the rest of the staff. Bayshore now has the care of our whole furry family, my kitty and my large pup. I have seen Dr. Dowling and Dr. Wehrmann, both of who are wonderful. They always answer all of my questions allowing me to make informed decisions. Great medical care requires good communication and confidence in the care givers above and beyond medical knowledge: I know as I am a physician. Bayshore offers all of this and more. I have never felt pressured to purchase a certain product and feel comfortable asking regarding anything about my animals including training, kennels, grooming etc. They work with you as part of the team and take the whole picture into consideration, always giving you options. This is a small, privately run hospital with a small town/family feel, including staff who obviously enjoy their work. But don€t let that deceive you; they have anything you would need in house - radiology, pharmacy, etc. I pass four vet offices on my half hour drive to Bayshore, several of which are the ones who refused to see us as new clients, even in an emergency. I am thankful as it led me to Bayshore. It€s amazing how things just always seem to work out in the end. But don€t take my word for it, experience this amazing practice for yourself. Read Less

Dr Wehrmann is the best! Our three month old Moluccan Cockatoo was just not eating well, losing weight and just not acting like herself. Dr. Wehrmann took the time to really listen to us, didn't just assume we had a feeding problem and did some blood work. The blood work revealed that she has a infection. He also gave us some great advise about slowing things down and letting her just be a baby. We started her on antibiotic and did everything that he recommend and are so happy to report that Skylar is doing so much better. We cannot thank him enough for the excellent care. Read Less

Recently I took my Corgi, Mr. Picklesbottom here for an exam and inquiry on tooth extraction. He's had a broken molar for quite sometime. I didn't get it removed around the time of fracture because my current vet gave me an estimate between $700 - $800. That wasn't something I could afford. Yes, I did look into financing and pet insurance options as well. I ended up looking on Yelp after a few friends had told me about Bayshore. I was surprised to see they were ranked #1 in the Saint Petersburg area. I ended up scheduling a visit online and on the same day received a call to confirm the appointment. I came in on a monday. We saw Dr. Dowling. She was very nice and knowledgeable. The main concern I had was the extraction of the tooth for my Corgi and mentioned to Dr. Dowling about my concerns with affordable surgery. She did inform me since the 4th molar is the largest tooth in the jaw, it usually is the most costly due to the complications with removal. Then she and her staff gave me an estimate. Shockingly, the estimate was much lower than our old vet. She went on to clearly explain what all was needed for my Corgi during the time of surgery and post surgery. I told her, I'd have to think about it. There were no pressure to have it done. Five minutes later, I scheduled to have the extraction done on Thursday of that week. Not simply because I was given an affordable option but because I felt I was treated fairly and most importantly of all, the staff truly cared about Mr. Picklesbottom. Mr. Picklesbottom had his surgery that Thursday morning and I picked him up that evening. I thought he would be out cold when I saw him; However, that wasn't so. When they brought him out, he ran to me and basically said lets go for a walk! (his favorite past-time) I couldn't tell he had surgery. They took such wonderful care of him! I work for a company called Airbnb. We have a department that is called Customer Experience, not Customer Service. Our jobs are to listen, educate and help. All of which mean nothing if we don't care and build the experience for our Community. By building the experience I mean, let's put aside profit and change a bad experience into a good one. Those that truly care will put profit aside for the well being of others. They do exactly what I do. Mr. Picklesbottom and myself can proudly say that we have a new vet. Thank you, Ms. Dowling and the wonderful staff at Bayshore ! By the way, almost a week after surgery, Mr. Picklesbottom is doing very well. He's happier than ever! We look forward to our followup next week :) <3Read Less

Professional, Courteous, Compassionate, Reasonably Priced. What's not to love? Called this morning, phone was answered on the 1st ring by a bright cheerful Glenda, told her my dog was in bad shape and she told me to come on down and they would work me in, I took my dog in within 30 minutes and no appointment, and was seen within the hour. The waiting room was clean, the staff attentive and friendly, overall they were great, they were very thorough and helpful. Dr. Sanders took his time and gave my Maverick all the attention in the world. I have found my new Vet!Read Less

We had our first visit here for our cat's exam and vaccinations this morning. It was night and day compared to our previous vet. Everyone was so sweet and caring. The way they handled our cat was excellent (especially considering he can be a bit difficult) and the whole place had a calming effect for pet and parent. The doctor was great, and gave us good advice and suggestions without it being overwhelming. It's a shame when going to the vet feels more like a huge sales pitch. But not here. Thank you and if you are looking for a new vet, I highly suggest coming here. Read Less

The team at Bayshore Animal Hospital are all great. My dog Shep has received great care and extremely healthy. Dr Sanders is patient and thorough and always spends extra time asking about the little challenges or concerns I may have. Its a comfortable, family atmosphere where I feel I can always get honest and professional pet care. Read Less

5 stars, loved it. I was looking for a new vet, read Bayshore's reviews here on google and decided to give them a try. I could not be happier. It was clean, friendly, practically no wait and Dr Dowling was awesome. I am glad i tried Bayshore and i highly recommend. Read Less

Bayshore Animal Hospital has a wonderful staff of caring professionals. It is clean and the accommodations for my pets are top notch. When traveling, my pets have stayed at the hospital and they always come back very clean and happy. My dogs, Millie and Pippen love coming here. There are outdoor areas to exercise and they get a lot of attention. They even have a separate quite area in the hospital for my older cat Stella to stay stress free. Their team is very knowledgeable about birds and have helped my chicken recover from falling over the seawall. They offer cold laser therapy too. My dog Pippen had back pain and it helped him so much. Our family loves Bayshore. Read Less
