Had to board my 2 dogs here. 1 is 3 years old and the other was 4 months old. They took very good care of them and kept me updated the entire weekend they were there. Staff was awesome. Place is very clean. I will definitely use them again when I have to go out of town again. Highly recommended for boarding and vet services. Read Less

This is the worst Vet I've ever been too. Constantly trying to up sale. They forgot to write a scipt for my dog in Feb. I called on 04-30-18 to get it filled.No problem, just come in and pick it up. When I arrived, it had changed to i need to pay 50.00 dollars extortion fee or I don't get the script. I wasn't told that in my original conversation. A conversation Nicole for over 10 mins provided no help. Incompetent staff   Extortion Dr's.   Go some where else. Read Less

I love everyone at this facility. I have three dogs and had three cats but now only one cat and have taken all of them to be cared for at St Francis Pet Care. The doctors are very informative regarding your pets health care needs and they are willing to work with you on large financial care plans which helps greatly. I would recommend who is looking for great care, friendly and caring staff plus incredible doctors to go to St Francis Pet Care, they have two locations for your convenience Read Less

Don't go here. I personally saw 2 dogs die while under thier care. 1 time a dog jumped the fence into the other fence area and attacked and killed the dog. The second time a dog as given to much anesthesia and died. They ended up firing that employee. In short if you love your pet DO NOT take them here. Read Less

This facility is excellent. I had 2 German Shepherds and they took care of them as if they were their own. Sometimes I go to the one in Trinity with Dr. Garcia. What a marvellous doctor; and sometimes with Dr. Amsberry, in Tarpon Springs. The technicians are also wonderful. However, I have to say, I believe that some sort of facility should be given to patients that have been with them for a long time. Especially if they know that these "pets" carry pet insurance. Not always people have $500 or in my case, $1500 or $2,000 at their disposal in case of cancer, for example. We trust them, they should trust us in paying the bills. Read Less

I too agree with Holly L. Initially they seemed so perfect and nice. Since they have been open a while they have developed a really snotty attitude. I have a dog with a collapsed trachea. EVERY TIME I go there Dr. Braha tells me how she NEEDS to get a dental....mind you, I have been there MANY MANY times as she has an ongoing problem with her trachea and needs a steroid shot so I am there. A LOT. I even asked them to stop asking me if she wants a dental. SHE CAN BARELY BREATHE WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I PUT HER TO SLEEP FOR HER TEETH??!!!! Yes, I understand allll of the benefits of teeth cleaning but she is 12 years old again, with a collapsed trachea. Mind you, this same vet recommended putting my dog to sleep a year ago...really? Last year you wanted me to put her down but now she really really superdy duperdy must have a dental! If you can, try to see Dr. Garcia he is the best one there. They walk around like they are better than you and like I said before...they have really changed since when they first opened. Read Less

My dog died in their care. He died while in recovery following routine dental surgery. This is still difficult for to write as it still hurts many months later. After moving to this part of town, I started taking my 7-8 year old mixed breed there. We initially loved it. Everyone was so friendly and I liked their monthly plans. Despite routine teeth cleanings, my dog's teeth apparently weren't in the best shape. During our initial visit, I was told he would need a tooth removed. (The year before, at another vet, my dog had surgery to remove several teeth.) This vet did a $180 blood work test to make sure he was healthy for surgery.  (I received one free per year on his payment plan.) He was. I don't recall being told that the results were only good for a month and when I wanted to schedule surgery almost two months later, I was told he would need another blood work test done. I understood and I relented and paid for a second $180 test as I wanted to be sure there were no worries. Once again, there were no issues so we scheduled the surgery. Right afterward,  he developed a bad ear infection out of nowhere. I immediately brought him in that same day. Unfortunately the vet only saw us for about two minutes, if that, before he was called away mid examination for an emergency with another dog. We were given steroid antibiotics for the ear infection and when I questioned his health for his upcoming surgery & expressed concern, the tech assured me that there were no concerns. The following week was not a good one as the steroids caused his behavior to change (he had separation anxiety) and he lost control of his bladder and was peeing every hour or two. I called and spoke to the same vet and he said it was fine to take him off the steroids now and when I questioned, he said he was still fine for surgery. I should've listened to my gut!! I should've rescheduled the surgery and then just paid another $180 for another blood work test. But instead my last memories of my dog are of him pawing at my legs, afraid and begging to stay with me, as the tech pulled him away from me. I didn't even get to say a goodbye. It's a horrible feeling and I'm riddled with guilt. As later that day while the other vet who did the surgery - whom I never met- was on the phone with me and while telling me that my dog was doing fine in recovery, a tech came in and told him something was wrong! He called me back a 1/2 hr later telling me that my dog died and "it must've been a blood clot".  I have no idea what happened to my dog. I saw no reports. All I have are assumptions and fears, which I won't say here. All I know for sure is that he died having teeth pulled and he would still be alive if it weren't for that.  I will say that this vet did the right thing by not charging me for the surgery that took his life. They also paid for his cremation & urn. (Though sending a condolence card would've been a meaningful gesture.)My warning to you -no matter what vet you go to- do your due diligence. Ask questions. Including medication side effects and alternatives and who will be working on your dog and what is their experience. Any surgery, no matter how routine, is a risk and is a big deal and should be a last resort. Get a second opinion. And always, always follow your gut feeling! As it can happen to your dog too. I have since rescued another dog and I am taking her to another vet. I am more cautious and will not just blindly trust any longer. Read Less

I just had an emergency occur with my Newfoundland puppy on a Sunday.  I contacted his vet, Dr. Braha, on her cell phone to ask for help!  I didn't even hesitate because, as my dog's vet, she (and all the doctors at  St. Francis, have gone above and beyond to help me with this particularly energetic puppy!  Dr. Braha took the time on her weekend to answer my text several times and gave me directions on what to watch for and what to do if something bad happened.  My pup is okay, but more than that,  I am calmer and know what to do...thanks to Dr. Braha!  This is the most amazing pet center I have ever been to!  Thanks so much Dr. Braha!

We took our dog to this place for boarding. They told us that they require a bordatella vaccine every 6 months if we want to board him there. They also require a stool test every 6 months. They charge $45 for both of these test/vaccine. Bordatella vaccine is a once a year vaccine - no other place at which my dog has boarded requires this more than once a year. It's like your child's daycare demanding a flu shot to be done every 6 months before they will let the child attend. This seems like a good way for this clinic to make extra money while at the same time, EXPOSING DOGS TO UNNECESSARY VACCINES and potential REACTIONS vaccines can cause. If we had not been in a time crunch, I would have found a different place for my dog. We will never use their services again. Read Less

I have been going to this facility for over a year now. I took my 8-year-old Newfoundland there to be boarded for the first time in his life, and the staff there was amazing! They sent pictures and messages to let me know how he was doing, and understood my anxiety. After he passed away, we got a new puppy and there was no doubt where our puppy would receive care! Rocco has seen all three vets there and they are all attentive and wonderful! They go the extra mile in every possible way! When Rocco had surgery, the doctor even gave me her cell phone number in case of emergency! The staff always fits me in, even when I call at the last minute! Everyone on staff is a true dog lover and I could not be happier! They are amazing and I highly recommend them to everyone! Read Less

I used this vet as an emergency vet because our normal vet was closed due to the hurricane. I had to put my kitty down. Now mind you, they use the same cremation company that my normal vet uses. When we put down a pet, it normally costs us around $300 for everything, including cremation. This place price gouged during the hurricane and it ended up costing us $400. And then I found out that they didn't cremate my cat for 8 days. That upset me. And also, our payment didn't go all the way through. It only paid for a portion of it. So we asked if we could do a payment plan because my mom is on disability and doesn't have a lot of money. Not only did they say no, but they were holding my cats ashes HOSTAGE until everything was paid off. I went into an instant panic. We don't have that kind of money. Out of the $400 payment, we only had half left to pay. This cat is literally everything to me and was my therapy cat. And they refused to give him to me. I now have him but with NO thanks to them. They did nothing to help whatsoever. And now my family is in debt because of them. I will NEVER use this vet again. Read Less

This vet is the best. It was the day after Hurricane Irma, 5pm, and every regular vet was closed. My cat was sick. Blue Pearl had a 2+ hour wait (never mind how expensive they are). I decided to take a chance and call St. Francis before sucking it up and going to Blue Pearl and the vet himself picked up the phone. He allowed us to come in and he took care of my cat right then and there. He was also very personable and kind. To take care of my cat at a time when the office was supposed to be closed made me feel that he really cared. I would absolutely recommend this veterinarian in a heart beat!!! Thank you again. Read Less

One of the most amazing pet care centers. The staff are wonderful and the doctors are really caring. I do not feel pressured into anything and my dogs are not as stressed at this clinic. I really cannot say enough good things about St. Francis. Read Less

Absolutely amazing vet. We just moved to the area in November of 2016 and went with a different vet that was highly recommended on one of the chat boards in the area. I was not impressed. Then this week my boxer became critically ill and the vet that we had visited couldn't see her until late afternoon. I knew she wouldn't make it until then. I called St Francis on advice of my sister and even though all the vets were in surgery that morning, they told me to bring her in ASAP. The vet was able to come in and admit her as soon as we got there.I have no doubt they saved her life.I will never take my dog to any other vet. The vet and staff went above and beyond keeping me informed and taking care of her. My boxer was even giving them kisses when we went to pick her up and she has never done that with anyone but family, so I know they treated her great even when I wasn't there. Read Less

I'd gone to another vet several years ago when the former group left and the practice was sold. I called for an appointment this year when one of my dogs was ill and needed to be seen quickly. I'm so glad I did! I couldn't be happier with the care my "kids " received by Dr Garcia and staff. Read Less

Fantastic care for our dog. They care so much about their patients, kind, compassionate and call after every appointment to make sure everything is going well with our pet. We have seen all three doctors and everyone one of them are just great! I would highly recommend St. FrancisPet Care Center. Read Less

Dr Garcia is very kind and explains everything very clearly. He is very compassionate and knowledgeable. The staff is so helpful and caring. Everyone at St. Francis treats you like family. Highly recommended! Read Less

After our vet retired I was at a loss. We have house full of pets we adore, and want only the best for them. After much research I came to St Francis. We are impressed with both Dr. Callahan and Dr. Amsberry. They actually found a liver problem in one of my dogs and are working very hard to fix it. When you get a phone call about your pet for for test results you speak to the doctor. We spent a good 10 mn. On the phone with him as he answered our questions. Read Less

Dr. Amsberry and his Team helped me return one of my 3 cats to great health after an episode that was close to taking her life. The care he helped me provide to Mocha turned her life around and that was 4 years ago and she is now 16 and loving life. We've moved a little over 30 miles from St. Francis Pet Care Center and we still make the drive there for our pet care. It doesn't get any better then that. Read Less

We moved to Florida less than a year ago and are thrilled to have found St Francis Pet Care Center. From the very beginning we had a very positive experience: the veterinary expertise is very solid and thorough and the supporting staff more than caring. Every case and concern is encountered with equal care and expertise and mindful dialogues allow for comforting solutions. Furthermore, the location in Tarpon Springs equals the location of a true resort: calm, quite and very picturesque! We could recommend St Francis Pet Care Center to anyone at any time! Read Less

Dr. Amsbury & Dr. Garcia are absolutely exceptional. The people at St. Francis are a joy to deal with. They are always there eager to help in anyway possible. I highly recommend this practice, I would never take my Yorkie anywhere else. Read Less

Wonderful, caring and knowledgeable staff. I have been bringing my sweet girl Bimini to St. Frances since the practice opened. They always take special, loving care of her. The boarding facilities are excellent as well. This is the only place I would ever board my girl, if I couldn't board her here I would not board or anywhere. Thank you all so much!! Read Less

I  need to say, our dog picks his own vets :) I can explain better: Our first experience was at Citrus Park Pet Smart and that place was a joke (the vet was actually afraid of our then 5 month old shiba inu). Anyways, from there we went to Citrus Park Animal hospital and our dog literally used to run from the car to get in. We were all happy until they got this new manager trying to oversell everything they had and made us feel that we were never spending enough on our dog.Well, after 5 years, that was time for a new vet. That's when we came accross St Francis. We drove by several times and the place is always packed and well kept. We scheduled our first appointment for a Saturday so we could go the whole family (yes our pet is our most adored family member and everyone wants to be presente lol). The front receptionist made us feel very welcomed. They took us to visit the whole facility. Explain their options and procedures. After the tour, we had our appointment with Dr. Carlos Garcia. In a few minutes they (dr and nurses) were all seating on the floor helping my dog to feel welcome there. I just loved it! In a few minutes the first appointment was done, no dog muzzle, no crying. Just a curious dog being pampered by the whole staff.  I didn't feel this an elitist vibe from anybody mentioned by other review. By the contrary, I felt that they really enjoy what they do. And let me tell you, if they didn't, dogs could feel it. My dog loves his new doc... and because of that, so do we :) Read Less

Jessy did a great job with our dogs nails ( all the techs are awesome ! ). Met Dr Garcia for the first time and loved his thorough , gentle nature . And the business staff loves our babies like they were their own . You can't teach that !! Love you guys !!!!! Read Less

I have to say the staff, and center are always welcoming , clean and professional!Our dog is a member of our family and he is always treated like a member of theirs.I dont like leaving my dog anywhere , and he tends to be on the nervous side. When we arrive he always has a wagging tail and never cries to be dropped off. The staff has also helped me out in a pinch when we had a family emergency and had to leave town and needed care. They thought there may not be availability at first when i called but juggled some things and returned my call to say no worries! I feel so lucky to have found them! I even travel from St. Pete to go there! Read Less

This is my favorite vets office by far. Even though my sweet angel Dale went over the rainbow bridge on Saturday afternoon I felt relieved knowing that we tried everything possible to make him comfortable and that everyone that works there truly cares for animals. Although I can't even imagine getting another animal.. When that day comes I will definitely bring them back to you. Thank you everyone there for taking care and loving my sweet boy for the past 4 vet visitsRead Less

Today was our first time in this place and we are so pleased! The staff and doctors were very attentive! They took the time to check our Sassy and explained everything that was needed to be done to her!! Wonderful place! Read Less

Impersonal and elitist staff attitude. Poor communication between staff members and with clientele. Will price gouge whenever and wherever possible. Boarding staff is better but since we wanted a full-service facility, the experiences with the veterinarnian side forced us to transfer our business elsewhere, after repeatedly being told that was an option. Read Less

Thank you for taking such good care of my little Pom, Sadie! I appreciate the time you took with me to answer all my questions. I am so thankful I have found a qualified, knowledgeable Vet who has a kind and compassionate heart. I also appreciated being able to talk to you over the phone and taking care of my dog's health issues so fast.It is also one of the nicest, cleanest vet centers I have ever been to, and has everything you need in one place. Read Less

St. Francis is so accommodating to their clients and I appreciate it so much. I called on a Monday to get my Lucky dog in on Thursday for the weekend because I was not even thinking about kids taking vacation prior to going back to school. I was informed that their no runs available, but their were 'suites' available. I laughed, thinking it was going to be expensive, and to my surprise; it was very affordable! So, Lucky had air conditioning and TV the whole weekend. I always feel comfortable leaving Lucky with St. Francis and never have any worries. Always a great experience for both of us.Thanks again St. Francis! I will be using you again and telling all my friends about you! Read Less

Dear Staff of St Francis Pet Care Center,I am writing to tell you how satisfied we are with your services. Holly could not stop barking about how much fun she had while there. :D She came back happy, perky and just wonderful! We will be using the facilities again soon and would be happy to tell others just how good your staff took care of Holly.Once again, thanks for giving Holly a pleasant stay and taking good care of her…We will be back!!!

I bring my dogs Ali and Chico in to the office and always get the best service. The ladies at the front desk are very helpful and professional. I have boarded Chico numerous times and he’s always super happy to stay with you guys. I have nothing but great things to say about everybody that works there. I recommend your office to everyone I know.Thanks for everything. Read Less

If you refills or meds and Doctor in NOT in, your request will be given to a someone else. By the time you get a call back they decline your request and tell you an appt needs to be made. Looks like its all about the money. What an inconveince. Read Less

My 7 year old Gretel has been to numerous kennels in her lifetime and has never come home afterwards in as good condition as she did after her stay with you! I am so relieved and will definitely have her stay with you for my next trip!Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby! Read Less

It is with extreme pleasure that Kato the Yorkie and his family highly recommend Dr. Amsberry, and the staff at St. Francis Pet Care Center. They are the best! During a recent surgery, Kato was treated by experienced, skillful, medical professionals, and given a great deal of love. We trust them completely for all pet care needs, yearly checkups, vaccinations, dentals, etc. because of their conscientious concern for a pet's overall well being. Read Less

I began taking my two dogs to this facility for medical care and grooming when we moved here last July.  The office was clean and organized.  the office staff was a bit curt but efficient.  The vets were ok.  If you don't mind paying for an annual wellness exam every time you visit for medical care, even if for vaccinations given 2 weeks apart, and premium prices for lots of tests often yielding negative results, this is the place for you. We no longer use this center. Read Less

This is a great place to take your pet. My wife and I recently bought our first dog and had to start the long process of finding a vet and then proceeding with the first year of care. I came here through a recommendation from my sister, and am thoroughly pleased.First, the Pet care center combines a state of the art vet clinic, pet resort, and groomers all in one. The vet service is great. I was able to get a comprehensive puppy plan that covered all shots and the neutering, along with chipping my pet, and unlimited wellness checks for the first year. The vets are both incredibly friendly, and always take great care of my dog. I also like that while they will suggest services or products, its never really a hard sell and I never feel like I am being forced to say yes.My dog has only been bathed there once, but he came home smelling incredible. Not only did he smell great, but unlike his normal baths at home, he smelled great for almost a week.I have not used the resort service yet, but from what I have seen, the dogs all looked well cared for.The staff is incredibly friendly and all of the really love pets. Based on my comparison shopping, the prices here are competitive with other local vets.I highly recommend taking your pets here if you in the market for a new vet. Read Less

Dr. Amsberry and he's staff are so welcoming and friendly. Once you walk in to the clinic your mouth drops. I have never seen such a beautiful hospital before they have a pet resort, the veterinary side, and a grooming salon. I would highly recommened this hospital for all the services they provide. All the services are pretty addorable! I will conitnue to bring my babies there! Read Less
