I took 3 stray cats for spay/neutering. Very cheap and wonderful job. All three cats did great.

I've been going there for many years. I have always gotten excellent service. Dr. Lovett is a loving and caring person. He has helped me several times when I had an emergency and has also worked with me when it came to paying the bill. I always recommend him. read more

Amazing vet. Dr. Lovett doesn't hold back and tells it like it is. Love the man. Front office leaves a lot to be desired. Very rude when you're checking in over the phone. Maybe a good cup of coffee or two will help her demeanor. read more

where to start. the front desk is completely rude and disrespectful and acts like they are forced at gunpoint to work here. second, the vet don't know anything. took my dog there 4 times for the exact same issue and he just goes on google search and pops these animals with steroids and claims "that should take care of it" then charge you hundreds to thousands for nothing. would not recommend this vet is your animal has actual health issues. read more

they killed my sweet cat!!! he went in last Wednesday for a neuter and shots and came home throwing up blood clots and couldn't stand. he died yesterday. I am so devastated and cannot believe this place can still practice after the horror stories ive been told over the past couple of days. I am reporting him to the state. RIP my sweet cash man. I'm sorry they treated you like a piece of trash. read more

We have adopted two dogs from Hardee Animal Clinic. Since there adoption they are doing fine and loving pets my wife and I enjoy so much. Just recently I had our two dogs in to have their teeth cleaned and have any extractions done. Let me tell you that Dr. Lovett is one of the most fantastic, experienced vets that you can take your pet to. He has 40 years' experience and even after a few extractions on our pups the bounced back with no complications at all. This is an office that has a constant flow of clients that are in need of help for their loved ones and the care they will receive is worth a long drive. The office staff tries their very best to keep thing going and works under great stress to help all the people that need help. The staff also has pets of their own and totally understands the need a pet owner might need. One must be patient when picking up their pets as they have a system where you call on the phone and let them know you are here to pick up your pet. The reason for this the waiting area is small and they want to give each person the time and attention to finalize paperwork and get you on the way so the next person can be called in. The bottom line is this practice has a most fantastic doctor and a staff that works extremely hard. If you are looking for the place to take your pet Hardee Animal Clinic should be put on your list for an extremely caring practice at reasonable prices. read more

absolutely the most loving veterinarian left that cares more for the pet and not the $. Veterinarians used to care about people and their oetts. I took a kitten to an emergency vet and they wanted $2k to treat her. it was a stray and very tiny. I didn't think it would make it. but I did t stay. I stayed up all night hydrating her and warming her. the next day Dr Lovett hit me in. treater her with everything he could and it was $150. also told me to call him if things got worse and gave me his cell. i dread the day he retired. yes the place is small. yes the staff is stressed. you would be too if people rushed in crying save my animal. he won't turn anyone away. god bless him . God bless his humble little building that doesn't have a variation chamber or state of the art decorations. but does have what's necessary to save lives. love this man read more

I had a great experience at dr. Lovett office treating my pets and I am a returning customer for my shepherd scout for a tooth extraction and my little rescue Rambo for a neutered procedure. I recommend this place to anyone who treasure their pets like I do. read more

Horrible place to go unless you want to be made feel like garbage and be verbal abused by staff who act like its the worst job on the planet customer service and rudness has cost a great dr alot of customers and respect in this town read more

The Doctor cares, REALLY CARES ABOUT THE CLIENTS "BABIES" much more than he cares about THE MONEY!!! The vet clinic in Auburndale, where I live. Gave me a quote of $5,000 (FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!) to remove a lump of fat that had grown up under my poodles left front "armpit". Dr. Lovette (sp?) did the surgery to remove the fat, kept Cappy overnight AND sent us home with antibiotics!! all for $400 (FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS!!) which INCLUDED THE FOLLOW UP VISIT in a couple weeks!! Just to be SURE that he healed as he should (AND DID!!) Thanks to a drunk driver. I was forced into disability, which turned to SS when I hit 65. Needless to say, I was far from prepared to "retire"!!! Finding a vet, A GOOD VET that puts our babies health and well being, over MAKING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE OFF OF EACH AND EVERY PATIENT.............. I just can't find the words to express my gratitude!!! read more

It's a great place low cost. Easy to find. People here care about your pet and your pocket Wish more events was like this.

We have had many dogs and cats neutered/spade as we've been rescuing for over 40 years. But we've never dealt with such an outstanding clinic as this! Yes the price cannot be matched but neither can the love and care! A few weeks ago we had 2 rescue cats neutered. We were impressed with the efficiency of the staff. But the surgery? AWESOME! There was no evidence except for the sacks to shrink. No visible cutting! We were able to keep 2 female dogs we rescued off the street this past week because we can afford fixing them and getting their vaccinations! Thank you Hardee Animal Clinic!You are our furever vet! read more

Hardee Animal Clinic - Charley asleep on top of Smokey after surgery. No hoods needed! - Veterinarians Near Me - Wauchula, Florida

This clinic offers low cost spay and neuters for cats and dogs. They meet you curbside and come get them. Their costs include antibiotics and they give you the cone and good instructions for post operative care. read more

Dr. Lovett is a great, old-school vet with homemade concontions and home remedy advice for pets of all kinds. The new "hi-tech" vets have their role, but as a gentleman farmer, I really appreciate this vets' advice and no-nonsense approach to getting things done. Haree Animal Clinic is worth the hour drive! read more

The women who answer the phone here and book appointments for spay and neutering are the most rude and unprofessional people I've ever dealt with. The price on the website says $35 to spay and neuter your cat but that's false advertising. It's $39 plus $15 for a cone and $18 for rabies shot. I booked my appointment for 5 cats non the less but I'm definitely calling and canceling as I have a terrible feeling about this place not to mention all the crappy reviews. If people are this nasty on the phone imagine how terrible they treat your animals when you're not there! read more

The woman that answers the phone is by far the rudest person I've ever talked to. I have taken my dogs there before. Never had a big issue with her until today when I called and she was trying to rush to get me off the phone didn't even schedule my appointment for my dogs just said bring them in together when I apologize as I do understanding that she is probably busy because I do work in customer service she then rudely said well. Yeah, I was working on a dog and quickly hung up on me. it doesn't take very much time or effort to have patience and kindness towards the customers. I'm surprised they're even open as for the Vet I absolutely love him Dr. Lovett. He is an absolute sweetheart, and knows what he's doing but as for the staff he needs to hire better!! read more

Even though they're further away from other animal clinics I trust them with my boy for the best treatment and most affordable choices.

the lady that works that front desk and runs to get the dogs is the meanest lady I have ever talked too. I'm not one to complain and I always let people do there jobs. But this experience was terrible. We got to the vet office and she came out to grab our dogs. My fiancé drives a lifted F350 truck. My dogs know how to jump out of the truck but sometimes it takes a minute especially when they feel overwhelmed. She put the lead leash on one of my dogs and I tell her "they know how to jump just give them a second." Next thing I know she yanks my dog out of the truck. He didn't even land on his feet he landed on his back. I literally was like THEY KNOW HOW TO JUMP DOWN. She's like okay I got one. After we picked them up they were shaking. I will never take another dog here again. NOT WORTH THE CHEAP PRICES. read more

The best vet one will find. If you are looking for an over-priced, shiny, "spotless" vets office for your animal, go elsewhere. If you are looking out for your animals best welfare while being treated with compassion & the best value money can buy, Dr. Lovett and Hardee Animal Clinic simply can't be beat, anywhere. read more

This hospital closed for a week and didnt have the courtesy to send out an email or a text to let people know. My dog has epilepsy and one dose of missed meds will make him seize. I've been getting the meds from the clinic so I have no other way to get them. Have to go to an ER for my dogs meds today because I can get ahold of no one at Hardee and no other clinic has any appts. Very unprofessional. read more

Convenient, kind staff, another vet was afraid of my large dog despite muzzle wanted to drug with unapproved medications for a simple rabbies. They where quick kind efficient , generally amazing with my cane corso. While i was their they where tending to a rescue animal in the kindest manor possible. I highly recommend. read more

We simply adore Dr Lovett. He has been our go to get while in Florida. While he is worthy of high praise, his office staff is not. They argue and shout at one another and may be the reason we take our cats elsewhere next winter. Very unprofessional read more

I want to start by saying that doctor loveed in my believe is a great veterinarian but the staff that he has working for him is absolutely non-professional very rude the people picking up the phone do not even want to be bothered and because I looked at my previous records when they gave me the price and found them to be wrong they automatically told me that the prices have went up so I could take it or leave it I hope Dr. loveed gets some new staff that are more professional read more

I took my little Matilda Lou today to Dr lovelett at Hardy animal clinic him and his staff was absolutely so good to me she had to have surgery right away and they were very very kind to me a lot of people say that they are rude but they don't understand that these nurses and the doctor are saving our furbaby's lives in and out trying to take care of our fur babies to make sure that they get to come back home to us. I would like to raise some money for them to add on to their building so they have more room they all deserve it! I couldn't ask for a better veterinarian Nor Staff! If I would have had to take my little Matilda Lou to another veterinarian it would have costed me thousands of dollars, there would have been no way that I would have been able to pay it and I love her like she is my child he worked with me and this veterinarian is not about the money he's about taking care of the animals! My heart is overfilled with joy and felt very comfortable not nervous I know GOD Jesus Christ has sent to to the right place to care for my sweet furbaby's. I recommend this veterinarian and his staff to anyone out there they are all overworked that they keep doing it to make sure that our babies are taken care of so they can come home and be healthy! God bless you all and your family and your fur babies and your friend's. I give All the stars to them ALL! read more

Gets you in with lower prices, but holds your prescriptions hostage unless you buy from them. Unethical practice. Bullies. BEWARE.

Dr. Lovett and his staff are amazing. We have taken all of our 3 dogs there before and today we had an emergency with one of them. We live 4 towns over and no one in our town was available to see our girl. And Dr. Lovett saw her and assured us that our girl would be fine. Straightforward and honest. Thank you for taking care of our fur kiddos. read more

The only reason this place is even worth a single star is because the doctor is a very nice man. However, the lady at the front desk is the rudest and most unprofessional person I have ever met/spoken to. She needs to reevaluate her attitude and life because she seems as if she is just a miserable human being. It's not that hard to show some patience and kindness and if that's something she can't do maybe get a work from home job since you can't handle communicating with people. At first I thought maybe she was having a bad day but no she is the same every time you speak to her and she talks down upon you as if your an idiot. My first visit to the office I witnessed her yelling at another customer and talking to them like they aren't even another human being. I'm sure if someone treated her how she treats everyone else she wouldn't have it so I'm not sure why she thinks she can talk to people the way she does. If it was me I would have fired her years ago. read more

I do not recommend anyone who values their pet to go there. Sharon treated my dog like he was a stray animal from the street. My 10 month old pupp is like my child, my kids sibling. She should not be dealing with animals nor people in general !! My dog doesn't know what being in a cage is like nor what sleeping outside is. He was scared and very anxious and she did not have any patients with him after taking him there to get neutered. There was this nice lady that understood where I was coming from and understood why I was so upset. read more

Honestly I only came here for the price but after my experience I will never come back. When we arrived we called to check in and the lady that answered the phone was extremely rude. We waited for over 30 minutes for her to come out to us even though we were the first people in the parking lot upon their opening. When she did make it out to us she was still being rude and almost yelling at us. When we came back to get our dogs they told me I had to come in to get them because they couldn't get them out of their cage. As soon as I walked in I was being yelled at by the the lady I had talked to in the morning. She was yelling how we lied to her saying that our dogs were not aggressive and wouldn't bite. (My dogs have never once bitten or even growled at anyone.) Now I can handle attitude and a raised voice but I cannot handle being called a liar repeatedly in front of all of their other employees. My final straw was coming home to see my dogs infested with fleas. (They get a bath once a week and have never had not even one.) I can say that I know why they do not let people inside, the cages look like they haven't been clean in months and it's pretty bad in there. The price is not worth the health of your dogs. Do not come here if you want your animals to have the best care. read more

He is by far the best vet, his prices are reasonable, you are not paying for a fancy office, your paying for treatment..etc. He truly cares for animals. His treatment is always effective. Support staff is a bit unprofessional at times but they get the job done. read more

Dr Lovett is one of the most caring Vet's that I have ever met in the many years that I have owned perts. He is knowledgable, compassionate, honest and explains everything so you understand completely. We drive 40 minutes one way to bring our babies to see him because of the amazing service he provides. His prices are amazing. $30 office-visits with free re-checks. $35 spay and neuters. Low cost vaccinations. He Truly cares for the well being of your pet. I highly recommend him to anyone. Well worth the drive to have my babies cared for by him and his wonderful staff. read more

The lady who answered the phone sounded very rude and like she didn't even want to be answering the phones and gave me attitude. For this reason I won't even be considering going there. I'd rather drive an hour away to somewhere where the people are nice. read more
