This is my second review for Desoto Animal Hospital! I certainly wish I could give them a 20 on how…read morewell my husband and I are absolutely thrilled with how well Dr Warren Harper and the Vet Techs plus front desk treated us. We lost our 9yr old Beloved White Schnauzer January 6th 2026. I'm sorry my husband and I have been feeling depressed and lonely without Toby so my review is late. Long story short our boy was misdiagnosed with another Office and I had gone there almost 40yrs.He retired and it was time for Toby's 7th Annual Checkup. He had been eating a lot and drinking so much water. The Dr checked him did all his bloodwork etc. After that he asked if he could do a CT scan which we gave permission. He said he thought Toby had bladder stones. Well there were no stones but the Dr told us possibly a couple were not located where he couldn't see them. Put him on Bladder Food and he didn't tolerate it. Toby couldn't tolerate anything but Royal Canine Gastro fat free. I called he told us just to change him back to what he had been eating. We did and our boy proceeded to get worse drinking water, eating toilet paper and wanting to eat and eat. So we took him to Desoto Animal Hospital and Dr Harper came in and I'm sure with all my questions and asking to repeat things he may have been annoyed and he wasn't. He looked at the bloodwork from the other Dr and his bloodwork and came in and said the numbers elevated extremely. Asked if we could take him in at 8am the next day and they kept him all day testing. We picked him up and was told the Dr would be calling as soon as the tests were done. We got a call that was hard to swallow and so gently told us our boy had Cushings Disease. We had never heard of it. Had a tumor on his pituitary gland and not removable. They pass away within 2yrs maximum and he had already had it. Pets pant excessively trying to breathe and it presses on his diaphragm. The whole disease shuts down thier liver kidneys etc. We never left him and spent the last year with all sorts of issues and finally he wouldn't eat and I kept boiling boneless chicken and steamed carrots. I tried not to bother Dr Harper but sometimes I needed to know if different things were normal he wasn't doing. He was all bloated up and went from corner to corner to get comfortable. My husband wanted to get him through Christmas but we do feel bad but this disease is absolutely horrible and I pray for any sweet pet that gets it and thier family. I've seen some unfair reviews here on this Clinic and in particular Dr Harper. He treated all of us like we were his family and took his lunch or checking on his animals he had that were sick and had surgery to put Toby ( alias Tobias) Dr Harper would call him occasionally to tease and he wasn't in a hurry and had everything set up nicely and said when we were ready very gently put him out of pain. He wrapped him in a nice blanket and took him to the back and they did his paw prints and nose print then cut some fur and they have a navy blue paw keychain and they put some fur in and on one side we can see it! Another nice surprise we got within a week Dr Harper sent us a very nice card and wrote in it and all the staff wrote and signed it! THANKYOU TO DR. HARPER and Desoto Animal Hospital for the care you gave our boy! We miss him but you helped us through it! In Memory of Toby Ouellette Born 4/18/2016 - Died 1/06/2026 He's buried by his brother Nicholas Ouellette!

I have been taking my 2 Belgian Malinois to Palmetto Animal Clinic for at least 10 years. Up until…read morerecently I would've rated them a three: adequate but in no way exceptional. One of my Mals died today at four in the morning, after many thousands of dollars of Veterinary care and at least $2500 of care at PAC. (The figure does not include the comparable cost of care for my female Malinois.) I immediately emailed PAC for a recommendation about cremating Cadio, the dog that died. I was willing to bring him to PAC, but I was also interested in finding an independent animal cremation company. I sent the email at least 15 hours ago and have never received a response. I have to say that that coldness and indifference is typical of my experiences with veterinarians at PAC. The staff and veterinary assistants are notably warmer, and friendlier, but the point is that no one at the clinic has bothered to respond to my simple request, let alone express support or sympathy. (FYI: a friend who was at my home helping me deal with the loss of my dog, found Honor Thy Pet online (813-957-7301) at 5:30 AM. They were here to claim the dog's body and take it for cremation at 8 AM this morning, and the driver who arrived was cheerful and sympathetic.)

Took my dog for his yearly health check up and it was a smooth visit once again! Like I mentioned…read morein my previous review, this is a clinic and it's definitely one of the cheapest places you can go to get vaccinations, regular check ups, tests, and other things. They also sell medication and tea/flea prevention treatments. Since it's very cheap it's not the easiest to get an appointment. Usually they are booked a month in advance so make sure you call, email or stop in ..They have a previous big parking lot and waiting areas for the pets. This isn't a walk in clinic.. you will be seen on time or pretty close to your appointment as long as you arrive on time. They accept all major ccs, cash. Restrooms are clean and they have an area where people drop off used items that they no longer want need thats free for anyone who might need such as crates, toys, pads, harness etc. so if you are looking for something make sure you check it out or if you have items to donate you can bring them there. Sandy in the front desk is super sweet and always helpful! She is always very friendly and answers all my questions and concerns. I seriously enjoy great customer service! They also have the shelter nextdoor, which if you are looking to adopt or foster, is a few steps away. I highly recommend coming here to get your healthy dog visit because the money goes towards the shelter and back into this place.. but you do still need to have a local vet just in case for an emergency visit for your pet, they won't do that here.
