Love all the staff here and the Vets are amazingly caring and gentle. I specifically am so happy with their knowledge and care for senior and geriatric pets. read more

Just changed Veterinarian because we have a 14 year old poodle mix and our long time vet retired. I was pleased with the kindness that they showed him. The Vet and her assistant sat down in the floor to get acquainted. After exam they didn't try to push extra treatments for things that are expected for an older dog. Hoping that means that they won't try to elevate your bill when it isn't going to help. read more

Dr Ramirez is fabulous and wise and understanding. My cat received awesome care and treatment for urinary tract issue.

The staff didn't try to up-sell me; they addressed my cat's issue, but they didn't pressure me into giving him a bunch of vaccines, etc. They have integrity. read more

This is one of the very best vet practices I have ever used over the past 35 years! The doctors are thorough and caring. The techs have all been excellent in communicating what to expect, then what happened and what follow-up should look like (in detail). The front office staff have always been efficient, organized and helpful. read more

Sadly, this vet gave an incorrect rabies vaccine to my two dogs. She gave a one year instead of a three year, despite having all the correct documentation. This has put me in a bind. They are not apologetic and did not offer to make it right. read more

BEWARE! This place will scam you out of your money. Their technician could not handle my dog when giving shots and exams and when I asked for a prescription to take elsewhere due to their costs, they were non-compliant. read more

PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS!! If I could give ZERO stars I would!! The Beaches Animal Clinic caused the unnecessary death of my daughter's 5 year old dog. After they performed a dental procedure on the dog they gave NO WARNING that there is DANGER ‼ of Sepsis occurring afterwards due to bacteria entering the bloodstream. The dog DIED OF SEPSIS!!! There were minimal VISIBLE symptoms occurring because dogs hide their pain and once it was obvious there was something terribly wrong with the anima, It was TOO LATE!! PLEASE everyone, educate yourselves about SEPSIS occurring in dogs because we found out the hard way with the heartbreaking death of our beloved family do and what was equally bad was the fact that the Doctor refused to call us back. That's an admission of GUILT If there ever was one!!! read more

I want to thank you for giving us fast and efficient service. I know I had to do a walk in and wait for a little bit but it was worth it. My Max is on the mend and I was very appreciated that you took us in even though we don't live in the area. read more

Beaches Animal Clinic - Max - Veterinarians Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Friendly, compassionate and caring. Three things I would ask of my vet and three things I found in abundance here. My dog has me a spill and I wanted her to be checked out, so it was a non specific issue. They checked her out thoroughly, kept it pandemic friendly and it was easy on the wallet. Big fan. read more

Best vet clinic in Jacksonville. Caring vets, educated and knowledgeable vet techs. Helpful receptionists. They take walk ins during specific times, tech services-nails trims and anal glands, fluid administration. Dr Daniel, Dr Ramirez, Dr Kemp and Dr P are amazing and caring. They have your pets best interest and health at heart! I will not take my pets anywhere else!! read more

Went here last month with my dog lulu - staff were absolutely incredible. We just moved here and we're nervous about finding a new vet. They were affordable and very professional. They did not try and upsell on things my previous vet always would- will definitely be back! read more

Dr Ramirez is an amazing and compassionate vet. She has taken excellent care of my dogs. Sometimes the staff can be a bit brusk and the facility is showing its age and the need for a deep cleaning.....but the doctors make up for it with compassionate care of your pet. read more

Beaches Animal Clinic has an extremely CARING STAFF. After several months of problems with my 14+ year-old pointer, (all of which were solved), she finally had to be put to sleep. The entire staff came in to say good-bye to Maggie. Such love and caring is normal for these wonderful people, but for a "grieving" owner, it really helps. If you want passion and talented people to care for you pets, Beaches is for you. Sincerely, Janet K read more

We had our dog cared for at Beaches Animal Clinic for years . Sadly we had to put our sweet Boomer down . The doctor and staff were amazing and so compassionate. These are great people! Great vet!! read more

Used to love this place! Got there at 2pm on the dot. One of the first vehicles there. Called receptionist and my call was answered 10 minutes later. We set with our dog for 40 minutes and watched everyone that came after us be waited on. Love Dr Daniels, but we are switching vets. Silly and antiquated way to serve your customers. read more

We've been seeing Dr Daniels for many years with our two small fur babies Zak and Hazel, and he is WONDERFUL. Recently Zak had some really bad back pain and we had to schedule an appointment with a different doctor because Dr. Daniels wasn't available. We saw Dr Eleanor Granzow and she was AMAZING. Plus it was a busy day for me and the office staff not only got me a same day appointment but also I was in and out in 30 minutes. The whole experience was FANTASTIC anyone who cares for their pets should use this office, you won't regret it!!!! read more

I've been taking both my pups to Beaches since we moved to Florida. The staff there is so nice and Dr. Ramirez is so patient and kind. I love that they send you home with a picture during their first visit. Prices have always been clear and reasonable. What I love most is they have always accommodated last minute visits usually day of, or if not, within a day. When my dogs don't feel good I want to get them in fast, and I like not having to wait a week to be seen. read more

This is the best veterinary clinic in Jacksonville. We are so Fortunate to have this type of clinic for pets here at the Beaches. I rushed my 11 year old cat Whiskey with a severe urine blockage at 7 am to Beaches Animal Clinic. They came out to the car and immediately took him in to check him out. Dr. Daniel and his wonderful staff saved his life. Everyone there is so friendly and compassionate. Dr. Daniel called me first thing every morning to give me an update. Whiskey is home now after 3 days in the hospital. He acts like a kitten now that he is all well. I have lived at the beach for 50 years and have always taken my fur babies there. I wouldn't trust their health to any other Vet Clinic. read more

Our family has been going to Beaches Animal Clinic for over 30 years. In that time they have been in the same building, taking care of generations of pet owners. My moms cat Kelly was small, even for a Calico and liked to have big, BIG litters with a few breech thrown in. Couldn't have them at home, nope, when she went into labor, we had to call the vet and meet him down at the clinic. They finally taught mom how to deliver the kittens so as to stop the late night meetings!!! :) Through all of this and more these guys were professional, friendly, and patient. read more

Beaches Animal Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

We have taken our dogs to various vets over the years but I have to say Beaches Animal Clinic tops them all. We have a dog with a very rare muscle condition so we have to feed him through a feeding tube and he cannot eat or drink anything by mouth. It was nearly impossible for us to ever go out of town because he requires such attentive care and most vets knew nothing about his condition or how to treat him. I was referred to this clinic from another vet and so I called them to see if they would be capable of boarding our dog while we travelled for a few days. Beaches Animal Clinic met with me to go over his routine and the staff member responsible for feeding him actually once had a dog with the same rare condition. They really have such a heart for animals and it shows. They love on them and care for them as if they were their own. The price is very reasonable and they have an excellent facility. Highly recommend!! read more

We've been bringing our dog here ever since we moved to Jacksonville beach. Such caring people, fair prices, and so trustworthy! Thank you!

My bar guest recommended this place for me to take my kitty to when he suddenly became paralyzed from the waist down. I had called over 25 places to help my cat and all of them had crappy customer service and had no intent ir wanting to help. Just gave me advice to euthanize without even having seen him. Who does that? But when I called BAC yesterday Christie (sp) answered the phone and just made me forget for a few minutes that I thought my cat was dying. She was joyful, understanding and genuinely cared about my cat. I mean I work in customer service. You don't care about everyone but you can still make everyone feel like you do and she accomplished this impeccably. Unfortunately I didn't get one of the girls' names. Pink hair you know who you are. Thank you for being sweet and making me feel comfortable there with the superficial chit chat. I needed that. Taylor, you took the time to listen to my cats background and not miss a thing. Then came out and talked to me about my cat and all his good qualities! What pet owner doesn't wanna hear all those good things. Last but not least I was referred to this clinic bc of Dr. Nancy Ramirez. A family member of hers is one of my guests where I work. What sucks is, because of covid I did not get to personally meet her. Only phone calls. She called me after the exam and answered all my questions and was super clear when sharing her opinions and facts. She was over the top nice. She made sure I knew how much money I'd need to have before they took action on anything. Then she called me again after the x-ray. This place was amazing. Id definitely recommend this to every pet owner in Jacksonville. Even out of Jacksonville. I don't have a car and I sat in the parking lot for 3 hours and observed the way they greet their patients and their owners. They call them by name and every animal in there is just super happy to see them again (except for maybe a cat named Henry who just hated being there altogether). That's how you know they're getting treated beyond great. Thank you! read more

Outstanding Vet. Highly recommend.... I recently had to put down my Angus. Extremely stressful life event. The Kindness, The Understanding..... lost for words. Simple Amazing!!! read more

Very kind vets that were compassionate treating my sick kitty. Good service at a reasonable cost. highly recommend

It saddens me to give a 1 star review. We have been taking our dog here for 6 years for routine check ups and boarding. We scheduled our pup for boarding from a Friday to Monday. On pickup day, I called the front to let them know I was there. I was told my dog had some issues with vomiting and he was given an injection but the tech would let me know more when they brought him out. I was confused because no one called to let me know he wasn't feeling well. When they brought my dog out, I was shocked. He could barely walk and was so weak. To me this seemed like a medical emergency since my dog is usually wild at the kennel, especially pick up day. I scooped him up and waited to be seen. I tried to piece together a timeline of events but what was evident was the lack of communication to the owner. A few more hours and they would of had to make a call letting me know my dog had passed. My dog was in Addison Disease crisis (new diagnosis) and so thankful for the care he received at the ED he survived. My issue isn't with the diagnosis but 1) with the fact that it was never communicated to me on Sunday evening when they noticed him not feeling well 2) intervened on Monday morning with an injection and clearly didn't monitor how he was doing and 3) brought him out in the state he was in. This was my biggest fear with boarding my dog but thought I was doing it right by boarding with my vet. I have also let them know my feelings of disappointment and pray whatever protocols were in place have changed. My hopes is this doesn't happen again. read more

Highly recommend Beaches Animal Clinic. I've been a client for many many years. They are kind caring people with excellent veterinary knowledge and love animals. Dr Daniels is my vet and he is great with my pets. read more

Beaches Animal Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Recent experience was terrible! Three weeks ago my dog was in distress with extreme pain. She saw a different veterinarian than normal and admittedly, it was end of business day. However, that does not excuse poor care. The Dr sent my dog back saying 'she's anxious'. Panting like she's in labor, writhing in pain and she's 'anxious'. Immediately after this i went to a local Emergency Animal clinic and received appropriate attention (e.g., X-ray), care and diagnosis. For this review the treatment that followed is not relevant but it has lasted almost a month and includes a referral to a Neurologist. I've been taking my dog to BAC over two years. The staff and Dr Ramirez have always been caring and more than competent. But this ruined all of that. I will NEVER return to Beaches Animal Clinic. read more

Yesterday was my first time at this vet and I honestly could not have had a better experience. The staff was amazing from the moment I walked in, until I paid. I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Kempf and she had to be the only vet I have ever came in contact with (mind you I have lived throughout Florida) that didn't push unnecessary testing. I truly was amazed all around by the care that was given plus the bill was a bonus to see it wasn't outrageous. Moving my new puppy to their care immediately! Highly recommend. read more

I've always had a positive experience with the team so I continue to be confused as to the recent diagnosis and treatment for my senior cat who was very clearly presenting with a "urinary" issue. We've all heard the warnings on TV to seek medical attention for an erection lasting over four hours. My poor cat is over 4 WEEKS in and is now nearing complete kidney failure. At their request, I emailed photos of my cat's groin for staff review on June 2. Rather than the treat the immediate - and extremely obvious - issue, Dr. Granzow prescribed antibiotics and a topical powder. We've been back two more times, each appointment ranging from $340 to $617 only to be told his condition has now deteriorated beyond their capabilities and referred us to a surgeon who will "change your cat from a boy to a girl." This poor 12-year-old guy will need to be castrated and I will be forced to pay "thousands" for the procedure in order to save his life. This is on top of the $1,200 I've already spent - including a $25 charge for a catheter after leaving me a voicemail stating they were unable to catheterize him - for Dr. Granzow to essentially shrug and throw up her hands as we happened to see her on her last day before moving to Hawaii. Maybe the next doctor who last saw us would've treated him correctly from the get-go but we'll never know because we won't be going back. I would not recommend, especially with an older pet. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

We took our dog here for the first tome and they were great! The wait is short, they were so informative and didn't rush through our visit. And the prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend this place! read more

I was in Jacksonville Beach staying at my condo for a few days and realized I had forgotten my can dog food for Charley Brown. I searched on Yelp for nearby veterinary clinics and this one popped up as the closest. I clicked on the phone number to call ahead and make sure they had my brand and was in luck. Directions in Yelp guided me right to the place where I found a nice private parking lot with available spaces up front. I went in and asked for a single can of the food and the nice lady walked to the back and got it for. Very convenient and while I was in I looked around and found a nice clean animal clinic that I will use in the future if I ever have the need to. read more

Dr. Cole is a wonderful human being. At first, he seems kind of off and doesn't have much to say to you. But what you soon will realize is that he's trying to focus on your animal. My dog, Chase, is almost 2 years old and we've been taking him to see Dr. cole since he was 8 weeks. Dr. Cole gets down on the ground with him since he's gotten too big to be picked up. Dr. Cole Is an animal lover and connects with them very well. Office staff is great. They are very prompt and friendly. read more

There is no question that this is the best vet in town. The vets are the smartest and nicest you will meet. We board our dogs there and one of our dogs can only eat through a gtube and they have no trouble taking care of all his needs. Only boarder in town that will. So grateful of such a great vet. read more

I have been bringing my dog and cat to Beaches Animal Clinic for almost 10 years now. When I schedule my appointments, I'm often asked if I prefer a certain vet over another.. the answer is.. no. They're all great! It's a relief to know whether I go with a scheduled appointment or a frantic drop in, every veterinarian I speak with with be friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It's not the cheapest location, but I'm not sure I want to cut corners when it comes to my little friends. Another feature that makes Beaches so wonderful is they can do almost everything on-site. I haven't had too many health issues with my pets, but I've never needed a referral to a specialist. (Thankfully!) They even do dental cleaning on site. When my cat passed away last year, their professionalism shined through. It was an incredibly shocking and sad occasion for me,. They really went above and beyond even walking me out to my car through a side door so I didn't have to go through the lobby. (This may have been more for the comfort of those waiting on appointments now that I think of it.. lol) They also sent me a thoughtful card a little while afterwards which I really found appreciative. I honestly drive all the way from Julington Creek/Nocatee to take my furbabies here, and it's worth it. If you're looking for a vet, I recommend visiting and touring their location. They're a fantastic group. read more

Dr. Daniel and his entire staff are all wonderful! I had been to more than 3 vets within 2 years before I found them, and we have been with them for the past 2+ years now (and drive up from St Johns County). They constantly go above and beyond to make sure our 2 dogs are well taken care of and get the proper treatment. In the past, I have dealt with vets whom I feel may have taken advantage, maybe because they were not as comfortable in their profession, or they were in it for the money, and I never quite felt at home. With Beaches Animal, I always feel that the doctors are true experts who care not only about the animals, but the owners as well and never want to take advantage. They know when to perform tests/procedures and they only do so when it really is necessary. Each time we go in, I feel like there is always great communication between myself and the doctors. We have been in for a few annuals and for many one-off issues (heartworms being one, unfortunately). I always leave that office feeling like the issue and treatment plan is completely clear and all of my questions have been answered. They always make sure that my husband and I are comfortable with whatever it is we may be facing. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, friendly environment with people that they can really trust with their animals. Our animals are our family, and these guys treat them that way! read more

I am extremely disgusted with beaches animal clinic. My dog was seen there last Friday for a well visit. He is 10 years old and was all up to date on his shots and everything he just needed to be seen so that his trifectas could be refilled. He went there on Friday and then had explosive diarrhea and vomiting on Saturday. I contacted the vet on Monday thinking that it would just pass and I would call them to make sure that they are wiping down each room after each pet because I didn't want anyone else's animals to experience anything, and after talking to a lady on Monday she told me that the vet would get back to me and check up on my dog and nobody ever did. Finally on Wednesday afternoon that is 5 days after the original problem started I finally called again because my dog still has very bad diarrhea and they told me to bring in a stool sample. I did that and they actually had the nerve to not only charge me to test the stool sample for parasites, which was negative, but then they told me that they think the dog got sick because of him being under stress by seeing the vet. That is absolutely import taste especially when my dog's been going to the vet for 10 years and five of those years he's been going there at beaches animal clinic. The fact that they didn't even care that my dog was still sick after 5 days astonished me. Not only that, but they also told me that the rooms get cleaned during their lunch shift and that because my dog was seen at 2:00 in the afternoon that the room was likely clean. that bother me more than anything because the room should be cleaned after each and every pet has been in it. Especially if they know a dog has been sick in that room with something contagious and then they bring in another dog right behind that dog that is healthy. My dog brought the illness home to my other two dogs but this dog has suffered the most. I will never use beaches animal clinic again. when I first started going there I do remember writing a very nice review because I thought they did a very good job there but management has definitely been changed and they care more about the money now. And clearly they do not care about the dogs. I had no problem with the whole covet thing of them not letting owners back in with the dogs, however that being said there's no way of us even knowing how clean the room even is or if they're using one room to see $25 in an hour. The parking lot was absolutely full when I arrived. I'm very disappointed in this company and I just need people to know be very very weary of where you take your animals especially for a well visit because you might come home with the sick dog if you bring them to beaches animal clinic. read more

Always have had a positive experience with this clinic, but took our Viszla in for an "end of life assessment. After a very brief assessment by one of their vets, was called and told that "he's kinda of a wreck" and they could euthanize him that day. I had no issue with the clinical assessment but the conversation was rather blunt and casual at the same time. I recognize vets deal with having to initiate and perform the procedure but a little warmth and compassion not just for the pet but for the family members as well would seem appropriate. Palliative care for our beloved pets as well as for humans should include making the them both comfortable and secure. read more

I'm so glad I came across this clinic. We're newish you Jax and have a senior cat, with a new puppy coming home this weekend. They have been super friendly and accommodating - from the techs, to the office manager, to the veterinarians. They're also super affordable. I'm used to annual vet visits for my cat to be upwards of $400, or to be serviced at a traveling vet clinic location and not always be looked into fully or be able to get the flea meds I prefer. The BAC was able to do her exam, her senior blood work, her annual shots, her county /city rabies registration and tags, plus her 3 month treatment of Bravecto (flea and tick treatment) for under $275 (approx $90 for lab/blood work, $60 for the Bravecto, $20 for city registration and tags). She even came home with a bag of free lean treats. What's even better is that they were able to give me a full invoice of potential charges for services BEFORE performing anything. Dr. Rodriguez was also extremely caring in the concerns I had for my senior cat, despite me having to stay outside due to COVID precautions. I have never been able to get this level of service in a non-humane society clinic for this price anywhere. read more

After moving to Jax, I searched for a while to find a vet for my 2 furr baby pups! I don't take them just anywhere, I saw that this clinic had great reviews & they didn't disappoint. The staff is very sweet & professional. They are on time for your appointment and get down to business. The place is neat & clean. I highly recommend trusting this team with your pets! read more
