    I realize this is a long review and I want to be thorough, but I'll try to be as concise as…read morepractically possible! To start, note that my dog Cody and I have had to move around a lot over the past 6 months which has been really hard on the both of us. Thanks to SAH during our months in Gainesville, Cody had possibly the best care that he has had over his entire travels across the country. More importantly, Dr. Nipper was the first vet that we both have seen over the past 6 months that actually thought about how our specific situation was causing us both anxiety, so she carefully considered a plan to both reduce Cody's stress and allow me to maintain his trust so training wasn't so unpredictable and prone to backsliding. Instead of prescribing heavy tranquilizers (a common recommendation that I was repeatedly told at vets before going to SAH.) she gave me some good advice and prescribed doggie Prozac, which -after a month- really helped his anxiety without changing his behavior like Trazadone does. I was able to keep up the general approach of positive reinforcement without worrying that he will become a nervous wreck. Dr. Nipper took the time to consider Cody's specific situation, especially his history of changing houses every couple of months. Other vets never even considered this. Another part was she addressed his allergies, a diagnosis she made after asking questions about whether he scratching all the time, something common for dogs not used to Florida. Other Florida vets didn't even bring this up and now that he's not scratching all the time he's just a happier dog. Finally, I want to also point out that it wasn't just Dr. Nipper that made suburban a great animal Hospital. There's staff is terrific and very careful to make sure that he got what is needed and that there weren't any changes to his health before doing anything. It's just good to know that they are careful, especially when I realize that a lot of offices don't pay that kind of attention. TL;DR: I would recommend both Dr. Nipper and the staff at Suburban Animal Hospital to anyone who wants the best for their animal companions. I have seen lots of examples of less than stellar offices in just a few months prior, and SAH is the best care he's gotten since he was a teensy pup back in San Francisco. And while we sadly are leaving town once again, at least I now know how to make sure he gets good care, especially after seeing what I thought was typical care that I realized I shouldn't have to settle for. It's not like Suburban Animal Hospital is expensive or anything. If anything I've experienced that how much you pay for the same service has nothing to do with that quality of service. And while leaving them behind is a bummer, I am happy that Cody's health benefited so much from both the care he received there as well as me being much better informed than I was before I in that office. And if anyone from SAH is reading this, thanks so much for providing such a positive experience and results for both Cody and I! Bless you all and I hope our paths cross again down the road!

Look at the bad reviews and how recent most of them are. Mostly all of the good reviews are apparently from when it was independently owned and now corporate greed rules.

Very client-focused. Great facility and convenient location. Highlights: Easy to make an appointment on their website. Easy to find and park (it's near Walmart and Bolay in Butler Plaza and GPS got me there as i usually find it a confusing area). Great facility -- brand new, welcoming and spotless. Sign in electronically on the tablet in the waiting room. Generous snacks for humans and pets (!). Nice touch. Friendly staff. Mykenna and Dr. Elizabeth Luria took care of our dog's ear infection -- tested, cleaned and treated his ears and sent us home with meds. Just over $200 with our UF staff discount -- comparable with Blue Pearl or the vet school. Only snafu was we had to double check the meds before discharge as they were not the ones the vet had indicated but that was caught and fixed to the right ones. Minor delay. Discharge paperwork and instructions are very clear. And they proactively send records to your regular vet. The whole experience was about two hours. Again, not unexpected for a same-day urgent visit. We were grateful. Usually the vet ERs are swamped. We heard other patients and they seemed busy but didn't seem distracted with us and were fully present. Thank you! We will be back if needed. Glad you are here in town.

If you are on I-75 and need to get pet supplies then you will be happy that it is right off of the interstate. You can get in and out quickly allowing you to get back on the road. Nothing really set this location apart from other pet supplies so I gave it a strong 3 star establishment.

    I absolutely LOVE Stacie at Petco Grooming. We moved to the area in the summer of 2022 and went…read morethrough three groomers before finding Staci. We have a mini golden doodle who's about 17 pounds and we like the typical doodle cut and it's hard to accomplish for some reason without their head looking puffy or other areas looking strange. Stacie managed to make him look perfect and continues to do so as I've never looked back and will always go to her For Bruno's grooming. We get compliments everywhere we take him and multiple times. I've been asked who his groomer is. In fact, he's gone to Pet Paradise in Newberry multiple times and met other doodles who then asked me where he gets his grooming done. Even last night, we were out at a venue with Bruno and a woman took a picture and sent it to her daughter who also has a mini golden doodle and the daughter sent her mother over to ask me where we had him groomed. I can't say enough wonderful aboutStacie! if you're looking for a groom that's who you need to go to.

    I've been bringing my cat to this Banfield location for over a year for his regular checkups and…read moreexams, and until recently, I trusted them with his care. However, my recent visit was extremely upsetting and disappointing. I brought my cat in on Thursday after noticing his stomach moving rapidly for about a week. The staff member who checked me in was polite, and since it was a drop-off appointment, I left my cat in their care. Later, I was called back in and met with Dr. Hudak, who seemed visibly distressed. She told me I needed to take my cat to an emergency hospital. When I asked what was wrong and if there was anything they could do at Banfield, she mentioned they could run an X-ray and bloodwork for about $300. I asked if there was any way to get the bill handled differently or set up a payment option, and her exact response was: "If you're having money issues, then it's best to put your pet to sleep." Hearing that made me panic and break down -- I was in shock. There was no empathy or compassion in how it was said, and it felt like my pet's life only mattered if I could pay upfront. After doing the X-ray, they told me to go immediately to the emergency hospital. I paid $387 before leaving, but when I asked for printed records to bring to the ER, they refused, saying I just needed to go. I felt completely dismissed and unheard during one of the scariest moments for my cat and me. This experience left me heartbroken and deeply disappointed. I hope Banfield addresses how their staff communicate with pet owners in crisis, especially when emotions and fear are already so high. Compassion should always come first.

    I took my cat in today to get a second opinion on some tooth extractions that he needs as soon as…read morepossible as he is in extreme pain. In the exam room, we first met with a sales lady who was hard core trying to sell us on an expensive wellness insurance plan for our cat. She said that the insurance plan, if we committed to buying it would save us a ton of money toward my cat's upcoming dental surgery, it would cover dental x-rays, bloodwork, office visits, etc etc. The only thing it wouldn't cover would be the actual extractions he needs. The estimate Banfield gave me for my cat to have extractions was inflated about three times the cost of an estimate I received recently at another vet plus they wanted me to pay for this ridiculous wellness plan ( it was supposed to save us a ton of money) on top of it. In summary, I left extremely disappointed, very frustrated and felt like I basically paid a $64 exam fee to listen to a high pressure sales pitch. I felt like all they cared about was money and not my poor cat at all. They did absolutely nothing for my cat who is in extreme pain and distress. They wasted my time completely and my poor cat got absolutely no resolution. We will be going elsewhere for his surgery.
