When our Golden Retriever developed a hard lump on her leg, we took her to see Dr. T. She gently shared the difficult news that it was osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, which was confirmed by X-ray. From the very beginning, the team at Extra Care was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate as they helped us understand and navigate our options. We ultimately decided to move forward with amputation. It was a frightening and unfamiliar journey, but one we knew we had to take for Chloe. Less than a week after her diagnosis, she underwent surgery and recovered quickly. Throughout that time, the hospital took wonderful care of her and helped us adjust to our new normal. Most importantly, Chloe was happy and no longer in pain, and for that we were truly grateful. She went on to live two more wonderful years. Although the cancer eventually returned, even after amputation and chemotherapy, we would not trade those two years for anything. We would make the same decision again without hesitation, especially now that we know how much love, support, and hope this process can bring. We are so thankful for Dr. T and her staff at Extra Care. They were there for us through every high and low, and they made an incredibly difficult experience feel a little less overwhelming. This is truly a special place that felt like home to us. Chloe was always happy to see Dr. T and her amazing staff, which says so much about the love and care they gave her. They are simply wonderful. read more

Dr. Jodi Thannum is truly an exceptional veterinarian. She took the time to understand my dog Madison's history and showed us so much compassion during a very painful time with our other dog, Eli. Even though she wasn't the one who treated him at the hospital, she helped us make sense of what happened and supported us when we were hurting. Her calm, thoughtful approach and genuine kindness made an incredibly difficult experience feel a little less overwhelming. She listens, she cares, and she never rushes you. I'm very grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a vet who treats your pets -- and you -- with real compassion. read more

Extra Care Animal Hospital - Madison - Veterinarians Near Me - Davie, Florida

My family and I have trusted Extra Care Animal Hospital since we moved here from the West Coast in 2000. Over the years, we briefly tried other veterinarians due to rising costs, but nothing compares to the care, compassion, and dedication we experienced when we truly needed it most. One of our three beloved kitties, Katy Pury, was recently diagnosed with feline triaditis. We don't have children--our cats are our babies. When our previous vet said he would "look into options" and never followed up, we were devastated and scared. We knew we wanted to do everything possible for our girl and didn't want to live with regrets. That's when Jodi and Dr. B stepped in--and changed everything. From the very first conversation, we felt heard, supported, and hopeful. They offered a truly integrative approach using both Western and Eastern medicine, including acupuncture and herbal therapy. Katy Pury was treated immediately during our first visit, and we are already seeing encouraging signs of improvement with her follow-up care. Instead of being told to prepare for goodbye, we are now filled with hope that our girl will be with us longer because of the thoughtful, proactive treatment she is receiving. If you ever feel that your current vet isn't doing everything possible for your pet, I cannot recommend strongly enough that you seek a second opinion here. Extra Care Animal Hospital goes above and beyond--not just treating pets, but caring for families. Thank you, Jodi and Dr. B, for your compassion, expertise, and for giving us hope when we needed it most. You are truly helping save our baby, Katy Pury. read more

My first initial Visit was on June 21. It was recommended to me by a friend who has been taking his 3 cats to Dr. Jody for a few years now. I have a six year old indoor tuxedo cat, Luna. This is my first vet visit ever. My friend told me that they were the best. I took Luna to be seen for itchiness, scratching, over grooming. I did not know what was going on. And was very worried for my cat. The office when you walk in has a homey feeling more than a vet clinic or animal Hospital. There is a warmth to it. Autumn, who runs the front desk was amazing, very welcoming. Autumn took me to an exam room and she did the first vitals with Luna and was very caring. Dr. Jody came in and automatically grabbed Luna and said she had a kitty at home that looks like her. Giving her all kinds of cuddles. Upon examination she told me that it was more than likely allergies. She gave her a shot and told me to bring her back if it did not get any better. Today I went back because I noticed that Luna was scratching her ears and I thought she had an ear infection. Upon examination it was the same allergy. The doctor gave her a shot again. I hope she gets better. We stayed a little longer to meet George the monkey. Yes that's right a monkey and a vet office. George was very sweet and groomed me as I was sitting down on the couch. It was the coolest experience ever. They truly are the best. I wish human doctors were just as kind and welcoming as Dr. Jody and her team. read more

I am going to continue to advise ypu must try this vets office. My dogs are excited to go! When we received bad news in February that our male Rottweiler had cancer, Dr. Jodi gave us all the options. We went with her suggestion and still have him with us today. We are able to love him and continue to keep him happy and comfortable. The best vets office we have ever used. Wendy read more

Dr Thannum and Amber are amazing!! I can't say enough good things about this practice! They have saved two of my dogs lives against all odds and treats each and every animal like their own! I've been going to them for over 13 years now and would ever go anywhere else. They are always available and will make the time to see your pet and treat them. Prior to finding them I would go between different vets not really being happy or comfortable with any of them. Once I came here and saw the quick action, care, comfort, talent and knowledge I knew I'd found the best place for my babies! read more

Dr Thannum is the best Vet, that I have ever had the pleasure to bring my animals to. She is a top notch diagnostician! I have never encountered a Vet who is as knowledgeable from experience, as she is. She, and her entire staff are so easy going, it's almost like you're visiting family. They will examine and even treat your animals on the couch, in the waiting room, if your pet is too scared to go into a room. You can immediately tell that they love animals. She will always offer a less costly alternative to any treatment, which is another way to see that it's never about the money for them. Dr Thannum is a great surgeon as well, and you will not find a better Vet and staff; I'm speaking from many, many years of experience with various Veterinarians over the years. read more

Just moved into the area and before i could get a vet my sweet adorable dog suddenly couldnt walk straight and listless. Called and took her in here praying they would be good. The staff were so caring. Including Rebecca the wonderful receptionist. They seemed to really care. The vet came in and gave me the news that my dog was too sick to save. We talked about ER and having expensive treatments. She didnt feel she would even make it with those treatments. She was honest not trying to push for expensive tests. I took her home and we had a peaceful natural death. Will be returning with my other dog soon. Seems great caring practice. read more

Only vet I ever go to for last 10. Years. Great staff..love it

Horrible experience. Quoted me a price and went over the details of one exam and performed another then expected me to pay for the one they did without consulting me prior to examining my pet. They are more worried about making their money than your pet. Then told me they were withholding my pet until I paid them. read more

We are brand new to the area and needed a vet immediately since my Maltese and just injured her leg and couldn't walk! I called my relatives who live in the area and they all gushed about Dr. Thannum. She had helped all of their pets in extraordinary ways. So I called and found that she was booked for the day but would squeeze us in...relief! Another vet who I called said we would have to wait a week! Dr Thannum was so incredibly kind and competent. She was gentle and extremely helpful! The very best part of our visit was I felt I could trust her! She knew exactly what was wrong with our dog and how to treat her. We actually left with my dog walking on all fours! Dr. Thannum even gave me a number to call if we were still having issues tomorrow which is a Sunday and her office is closed. She was an angel and miracle worker! read more

Missy hates going to the vet, and after having to undergo the trauma of knee surgery, who can blame her? However, when I picked her up last night, after having her teeth cleaned, she seemed amazingly relaxed and calm. I know that she will always receive the best, most thorough care at ECAH, but the empathy, concern, and genuine love for my pet tells me that this is an amazing facility that will go to all lengths to provide the best care for any of my pets. read more

Extra Care Animal Hospital Shame on you Dr. Jody Thannum. I've been a patient or I should say my 11 yr old Maltpoo is for many years Im going to post on every site I can to let the public know how RUDE YOU are. I called 3 times today for information and to set an appointment for my dog. It's obvious YOU lack integrity and social graces. It's a shame your front desk and your tech are nice people Because if you can treat your clients the way you treated me today I can only imagine how you treat your staff You rudely interrupted a phone call when I was speaking to your tech after waiting six hours for a return phone call. you got on another line ..... not knowing what I was asking and then interrupting and screaming at me WHAT DO WANT?????? what do you think I want I want to make an appointment for my dog I will never use you again ever I will make sure that I go on every social media site yelp Facebook Google and let the world know what an imbecile you are and how you treat your clients/ patients ! My money is green and I will find another Vet ! ‍ read more

The doctors and vet techs are first class all the way!!!! I recommend this place to anybody who loves their dog

I brought in a perfectly healthy 12 year old dog for a dental cleaning and she came out with a slipped disc, unable to walk. No one returned my call the next day and 4 days later she is still under the care of another vet, receiving acupuncture, massage, steroids and pain killers. She is still unable to walk without support. I believe she was mis-handled by the technician, Shawn, while under anesthesia. Never again! Tracy T Plantation, FL read more

This animal hospital is absolutely amazing! Dr. Thannum is knowledgeable and caring. I was referred to her practice when my baby Amber was terminally ill. I wanted her to be as comfortable as possible having the best quality of life possible. Dr Thannum and her staff treated her like a queen. They never made her go in an office, they treated her in the lobby where she experienced less anxiety. Now I have two babies that see her, Logan and Ryder. They are doing amazing under her care! I love all the staff and it's like a family! read more

I brought my 6 month old Boston Terrier to Extra Care for her spay, and she died the next day. Yes, died! While I do think Dr Thannum cares about animals something obviously went terribly wrong. Now I have a $2000 bill, no real explanation about what happened, and no dog. I've been called repeatedly by Dr Thannum and/or her receptionist for the last week about payment, and I was not even given an invoice. I didn't even know what I was being charged for until I asked to see a detail of charges. Everyone says don't pay the money, the dr should take at least some responsibility, get an attorney, etc. I mailed a check for the full amount because I'm just ready to put this horrible experience behind me. My dog was my baby, and I can honestly say this has been the worst ordeal I've had to go through!!! read more

My fur baby Tigger and I had a great experience here for his check up. First off, the environment is very clean and welcoming. Everyone treated me so nicely- from the secretary to the vet technician to the vet herself (Dr. Jodi) Tigger always freaks out whenever he has to leave home so needless to say he was nervous and skittish. I appreciate how patient all the staff was. I was explained everything that was being looked at. I was also given a complete detail and print out of a dental clean estimate for Tigger (it was recommended for him). It's a bit too much for me to be able to afford right now but I do appreciate them sitting down with me and explaining it all. They even gave me a discount for having Pet Assure which I appreciate. You can tell the vet and staff here are passionate about animals- and that's very important to me when I take my own baby somewhere to be cared for. Will definitely return. read more
