Live Oak Animal Hospital
Vero Beach, Florida
General Info
The residents of Vero Beach rely on Live Oak Animal Hospital to manage their multiple pet veterinary needs through consistent support across Florida delivered by insights and adjustable pacing. During the initial visit veterinarians review each pet's historical data alongside its behavioral patterns while noting any recent alterations and examining its household role. Examinations focus on individual assessments that include posture evaluation along with ear and eye clarity checks as well as skin health and hydration status while also observing gait patterns and temperament responses to both humans and other animals. Even shared symptoms like mild coughing or low appetite are viewed within context—because environments with multiple pets can mask or intensify health signals. Live Oak Animal Hospital delivers personalized wellness programs alongside diagnostic services and surgical consultations while offering weight monitoring and dental examinations together with preventive care scheduling. Care plans adjust to owner schedules and pet traits by staging treatments—either spacing visits or combining procedures for efficient time and energy management. Households experiencing new adoptions, age-related slowdowns, or travel schedules find their routines become sustainable through this approach. Clinic staff present families with options in a clear manner by providing sufficient detail to enable decision-making without causing overwhelm. Throughout every stage owners have the opportunity to ask questions since each appointment along with follow-up includes built-in communication. Live Oak Animal Hospital assists families from Vero Beach and surrounding Florida areas to establish veterinary routines that align with their household tempo which ensures each pet has a voice and every visit gains significance.

I suspect everyone thinks their vet is THE BEST but I've visited several over the years and thought they were all five star vets. That was up to the point that I started receiving services at Live Oak Animal Hospital. Expectations on every aspect were totally exceeded! I would receive phone calls on weekends, in the evenings, etc with the vet (not a receptionist) asking about the health of my dog at one point when she was gravely ill. I was amazed, grateful, appreciative and honored to be able to give the strongest five star rating to this group. I look forward to returning.

I got a rescue dog to Foster recently. He arrived loaded with ticks, lots of lies from the past owner, smelly, and very nervous. This dog weighed in at 79 pounds, so it is no tiny dog.The Vet's, the nurses, and the tech's were just wonderful. They were prompt, exhibited a very caring demeanor, excellent care, reasonable prices, and a clean, smell free facility. This place is truly as good as it gets. The vet explained everything to me and took his time. I have had a dog since I was a kid, and have spent over 6 decades going to vet's. Believe me I say they are as good as it gets!!!

I had the sad duty of putting our 19 year cat to sleep, something I agonized over it for days. I called Live Oak and spoke with Janis. She could not have been more helpful and understanding. I had called other Vet offices and did not get that kind of treatment. Everyone there was so kind and informative. I saw Dr. Torrado. Oh my goodness, what an understanding, thoughtful and patient doctor. He examined my cat (I was having second thoughts and needed reassurance that I was doing the right thing), gave me his recommendation and the reasons why and then prior to and during the procedure he was compassionate and professional. I found my vet.

We are new to the area and have been trying to find a vet. There sure a lot them around here, but I was having troubles finding one. Unfortunately we had to have our 19 year old cat put to sleep. Something we had never done before. I called several vet offices and because of the reception on the phone didn't go with any of them until I called Live Oak. I spoke to Janis who was so empathetic and informative. I brought him in and was having second thoughts when my cat seemed to rebound (adrenaline). Everyone from reception to the assistants and techs were amazingly kind and thoughtful. Dr. Torrado was great. He examined Skid and told me what he thought and then explained the procedure to put me at ease. It Everyones patients with me and kindness made the experience the best it could be. I am so grateful. I think I found my vet.

Live Oak Animal Hospital has exceeded my expectations every time. They have taken care of my dog and cat and I could not be happier. Dr. Torrado just fixed up my cat from his squirrel fight and I am so grateful for the quality and affordable services that Live Oak provides. I would strongly recommend Live Oak to anyone with furry family members. Thanks!!!

We noticed a hot spot on our drive to Vero Beach from Connecticut. We called Dr Stewart's office on Saturday morning to see if we could get our Golden Retriever, Rhiannon in for treatment. The staff was amazingly accommodating and gave us an appointment even though they were booked. She was seen and treated by a caring and personable staff. We cannot be more pleased with Dr Stewart and his entire staff. We're relieved to know we can look forward to great care for our three dogs and one cat in the future.

I got a rescue dog to Foster recently. He arrived loaded with ticks, lots of lies from the past owner, smelly, and very nervous. This dog weighed in at 79 pounds, so it is no tiny dog.The Vet's, the nurses, and the tech's were just wonderful. They were prompt, exhibited a very caring demeanor, excellent care, reasonable prices, and a clean, smell free facility. This place is truly as good as it gets. The vet explained everything to me and took his time. I have had a dog since I was a kid, and have spent over 6 decades going to vet's. Believe me I say they are as good as it gets!!!

Best place ever :D Excellent Doctors and Staff My pets are happy, and that makes me happy. They receive excellent care, and we know they are in good hands when trouble strikes. I will not go anywhere else, I've been to other vets in the past, and have worked as a veterinary hospital coordinator for over ten years (total of close to 20 in the vet/animal world) AND, I know how it is done, and they do it :D I recommend them 100%

Really Enjoy Dr. Stewart and the staff at Live Oak- They seem to really care about our 4 legged friends (Annie and Lucy) and are always helpful, pleasant and give full/complete information. They always call back when they say they will. I like the text reminder for appointments in lieu of a phone call;everyone should adopt this method.

I had the sad duty of putting our 19 year cat to sleep, something I agonized over it for days. I called Live Oak and spoke with Janis. She could not have been more helpful and understanding. I had called other Vet offices and did not get that kind of treatment. Everyone there was so kind and informative. I saw Dr. Torrado. Oh my goodness, what an understanding, thoughtful and patient doctor. He examined my cat (I was having second thoughts and needed reassurance that I was doing the right thing), gave me his recommendation and the reasons why and then prior to and during the procedure he was compassionate and professional. I found my vet.

We are new to the area and have been trying to find a vet. There sure a lot them around here, but I was having troubles finding one. Unfortunately we had to have our 19 year old cat put to sleep. Something we had never done before. I called several vet offices and because of the reception on the phone didn't go with any of them until I called Live Oak. I spoke to Janis who was so empathetic and informative. I brought him in and was having second thoughts when my cat seemed to rebound (adrenaline). Everyone from reception to the assistants and techs were amazingly kind and thoughtful. Dr. Torrado was great. He examined Skid and told me what he thought and then explained the procedure to put me at ease. It Everyones patients with me and kindness made the experience the best it could be. I am so grateful. I think I found my vet.

I love Live Oak Animal Hospital! I have been taking my dogs to Doc Stewart for almost 20 years now and they always are super!! All the staff are friendly and helpful, even in the most stressful situations. Doc has come to my house on numerous occasions to put my dogs down because I just couldn't get them to him, so he came to us. Right now my baby has a hurt knee and Doc is doing everything possible to keep her comfortable and help her heal. I love this man and his staff and the way they love all animals. I will never have another vet....Live Oak Animal Hospital and Doc Stewart are IT!!!!!
