This is my long and detailed experience about the euthanasia service Elite Veterinary Home Care…read moreprovides. My almost 13 year old pup had been dealing with some health issues for some time. His quality of life was poor and in decline but I was in denial because I didn't want to let him go. He was my best friend. My wife and I finally had the conversation about letting him go but we also didn't want to do it at the vet clinic. After doing some online research we found Dr. Amanda and Aramis at Elite Veterinary Home Care. After making the phone call and explaining the situation we scheduled an appointment a few days out. That gave my wife and I some more precious time to spend with our boy. Eventually that day arrived and Dr. Amanda and Aramis showed up at our house. They were both extremely warm and kind. So much so that our boy wagged his tail when he met them. He hadn't done that in weeks due to his pain. After the initial examination of him they explained what they would be doing and how it would happen. We all laid down in his favorite spot by the front door while I gave him his favorite treats. Dr. Amanda gave him a quick shot that he didn't even register and after a minute or 2 he fell into a deep sleep. They then told us to take as much time with him as we'd like since he would stay asleep, and when we were finally ready to say goodbye to just let them know. We stayed with him, cuddled and cried. Told him that he was the best boy that anyone could ever wish for. I don't know how long we stayed with him like that but eventually we knew it was time. My wife went outside to notify them that we were ready. Once Dr. Amanda and Aramis returned; they both sat back down next to him and then confirmed with us that we were ready. She then gave him the last shot, and after a few deep breaths he was gone. They then let us know that we could spend more time with him if we wanted and we accepted. When we were ready to let him go they came back in with a stretcher (he was almost 90lbs) and I asked if I could help take him out to their vehicle. We gently put him on and she very carefully covered him in a nice blanket. We put him gently into her vehicle and I was able to give him one last pet. He looked so peaceful in that moment. My father died when I was in my 20's and that was my only family. That was the hardest moment of my life, until this. I have been dreading this moment for 13 years. And even though I would have never been ready to let him go, Dr. Amanda and Aramis at Elite Veterinary Home Care made this process a little bit easier on my heart and conscience. They were extremely empathetic to our needs and our boys needs. There was never any pressure to do anything we didn't want to do. They were so kind and understanding that they didn't feel like strangers, and even our boy knew that. They were able to take his pain away and for that I will forever be grateful to the both of them. It has been over a week and we just got his ashes back along with a nose print and a paw print cast. Thank you both for your service and kindness. I highly recommend Elite Veterinary Home Care for the most compassionate and friendly service.

I have a 12-yr-old beagle mix named Dollie who was traumatized during a vet visit six years ago. This well-adjusted, bright, friendly dog dreaded visiting the vet. Her anxiety made it a living hell for her, me, the staff, the other clients when I had to take her to a veterinary office. I learned about Elite Veterinary while attending the Eustis WestMuttster dog show last month. (Elite Vet loves dogs and cats and all creatures as evidenced by their having a booth at the show.) I was so impressed with the services they offer and with their friendliness. Clearly they love animals. This week Dollie got a house call from them and I got to see not only their love for animals but their expertise in care. Dr. Clark is a compassionate professional who clearly loves what she does. She graduated from UF veterinary school which is one of the tops in the country. Lake County is fortunate to have her as a local vet and I'm very grateful she makes house calls.

Be advised that when I was Yelping other area vets, one of them has many obviously fake reviews, notice the number of the reviews these phantoms each have. This makes me very suspicious of them whether they hired a rep firm or whipped them up themselves. Anyway, the experience here went flawlessly, so 5 stars right out of the gate. Be advised, this establishment is not easily seen from 441, as it is set back, it would be easy to drive past and end up at another vet close by. Set your GPS. Also , I learned today that the new kitten is not a fan of 1/ Dogs and 2/ Thermometers.

I would love to give this vet a full five stars, but I can't. This is not my normal vet, they…read moresuggested this one because they were booked out and I needed to be seen sooner than they could get me in. The positives: the process for a new patient is incredibly simple by filling out the forms online. And the staff is very pleasant and helpful, and love on your pets. Dr. Taylor is phenomenal, and I love that she's an integrative doctor pairing both eastern and western medicine to provide the best treatment protocol for your pet. The negative: I had to deduct stars because the whole building smells awful - but not in the way you'd think. Before even opening the door, I could smell the synthetic fragrance awaiting to assault my senses. It is overpowering. From Glade room fresheners to Febreze in every room, and the lavender scented disinfectant, the end of my appointment could not come soon enough. Synthetic fragrances are toxic enough for humans, but even more so for animals, whose sense of smell is more sensitive than a human's. It seems as though they' might be trying to cover up more than typical pet smells because I've never been in any other vet office that had so many fragrances. Most of them just smell like hospital...clean. I would love to be able to go back, especially since Dr. Taylor does acupuncture, but I don't think I can. I can smell the office on my clothes even now that I'm home, and I am dealing with the expected migraine after the fact. The incredible service and staff just can't overcome the impact all the fragrances have on me. So, if you are someone who suffers from sensitivities to smells like me, be forewarned.

Not only is Dr Beard any excellent vet, but I consider him a friend who will always put the pet and the owner's best interest at heart while being a straight shooter in terms of a negative diagnosis.

I can't say enough great things about North Orange Animal Hospital and Dr. Bucky. Our dog, Petey,…read morerecently needed a difficult surgical procedure, and Dr. Bucky provided truly exceptional care from start to finish. He was incredibly kind, patient, and informative, taking the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and answer all of our questions. His skill and confidence as a surgeon gave us real peace of mind during a very stressful time. Most importantly, Petey's recovery went remarkably well. He was comfortable, healing quickly, and in surprisingly minimal pain. It's clear that Dr. Bucky genuinely cares about both his patients and their families. We are so grateful for the outstanding care Petey received. I would absolutely recommend North Orange Animal Hospital to anyone looking for compassionate and highly skilled veterinary care. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

On one occasion in particular I brought my daughter's Caledonian Crested gecko in. She was in bad shape. The dr and assistant carefully looked her over and diagnosed the problem, a calcium deficiency. They said they could X-ray her and perform tests, but the expense was unnecessary. They're not motivated by greed like many other veterinarians. They sold me a supplement for about $15 to feed her to try and bring her around. They said unfortunately she may not make it. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. They said it's typical for geckos to seem completely fine, but once they show symptoms of sickness they're usually too far gone to recover. My daughter was so distraught, and they were so kind in trying to comfort her. The next day they called to see how our Gecko was doing and asked if I had any concerns. The gecko got much better at first, but passed away within a month. It was sad, but we had the comfort of knowing we did all we could for her. Thanks to the caring staff at Pine Ridge animal hospital. They genuinely care for the animals.
