We are staying in the Sebastian area to escape the Chicago winter. Our Havanese named Gracie developed a cough and shortness of breath rather suddenly. One of our fellow campers suggested we call Hometown which we did and they fit us in to their morning schedule. We cannot tell you how pleased we were with Dr. Eric and his entire staff. They are the best and we wish we could take them all back to Chicago with us. Hopefully Gracie will be back to her old self with the medication Dr. Eric prescribed. THANKS!!

I took my very expensive and well bred dog for urgent help. So far I've been waiting over a month for care that if not administered right away, could kill my dog. I've called the office frantic multiple times, over very specific unique problems dealing with seizures and aggression. I warned the vet he was either overdosed on medication or had some bacterial or parasitic infection. I've gotten no results about either. Just the most basic blood work and fecal sample. Even though, I've been more than thorough in my explanations of symptoms, I got a superficial diagnosis and basic care. This is no Dr. House. My dogs life has been hanging in the balance and I haven't even been given Penicillin or Doxy to start him on in case it's something like Leptospirosis. This is standard practice when these infections are expected due to the need for quick treatment. This clinic has basic diagnostics and did not inform me they were basic until after I paid. I was referred to the University of Florida and their long wait list. Meanwhile, my entire household and business could be exposed to infections, bacteria, or parasites. I just don't think this is high caliber vet care in my experience. After rehabbing over 400 animals, I can say without question, I've never been this ignored by a vet. I wish I had the vet license to get the medications to treat my own dog, as I've made more progress alone in the cornfield so to speak. Update: My dog is dead. I went to the same vet one day before and they did pretty much nothing but tell me my guard dog doesn't want to be a guard dog anymore. All the while he lie dying in my garage. I explained I couldn't move him and the doctor couldn't even be bothered to call me back or check in in anyway. Absolutely awful experience and my dog didn't need to die. No one would listen. read more

Made an appointment for today. We have 6 dogs and make appointments for 1 each visit so we don't overwhelm anyone . Take 1 dog in with an appt , told when we checked in we were told we weren't on the schedule. My wife said we are here's our confirmation. sat 60 min past our appt as others walked through the door and had their pets brought right in. This is only our 2nd visit as we are new here . We have 6 large dogs and are now going to find a new vet and 3 of our pets need meds to function . Totally unacceptable and we now have to look for another vet, worst place we have ever experienced . Do yourself a favor and do your homework read more

Dr Kramer is a wonderful vet. He took excellent care of our aging Labrador. He even came by our home ( for a fee of course) several times when our dog could no longer get in the car and we couldn't lift him. Him and his wife are very compassionate. We also take 2 of our kitties there read more

Dr. Kramer is a fabulous veterinarian. Took excellent care of our miniature poodle, Emma. We could not ask for a more caring, helpful person. read more

I took my dog to the vet clinic at tractor supply because she seem to have labored breathing. The vet looked at her and said she thought the dog had congestive heart failure. She said the dog needed to get into a full-service Vetrinarian right away. I called hometown and they had an appointment in an hour or so so I took it. I drove up and they saw the dog right away. They wanted to do tests thought that it would stress my dog out too much which would be worse for her. They left the option to me, but I agreed with them, obviously. They suggested medications and gave them to me. They explained very clearly what they are for how to give them. They gave her two medication's that she needed for her heart, and one medication so she will not be so stressed out. They said to let them know how she is and if those do not work, they will put her on others as well. They also said several times, that in an emergency, I did not need an appointment, just to bring the dog in. " if it's an emergency to you, it's an emergency to us." I worked in an ER for 20 years and never heard anyone say that. Thank you Bonnie and Marcus! read more

I just purchased 2 puppies and wanted to get them looked over. so we decided to try Hometown. Boy we're we shocked, the waiting room was very small and dingy. but the worst was the examanat. was dirty. I even told the Dr. he should fire there cleaning help, and showed him the dust build up on equipmen. He just chuckled. He didn't put the puppies on the table, he looked at them sitting on the floor. He did absolutely nothing except listen to their heart. Any questions we had he was t sure about. What a waste of money. Such a disappointment. read more

I recently moved to the Sebastian area and took my cat, Augusta "Gus," to see Dr. Wilsnack for her initial introduction and exam. Although the office and individual examining rooms were far from clean, the interaction was successful, and Augusta "Gus" received the her vaccinations. Three weeks later, I called the office to see if Gus could be seen for a limp I had noticed a few days prior. Immediately I was informed by the rudest most unprofessional receptionist I have ever encountered, that there was no veterinarian on-site, nor would there be for a number of days. I asked how they were able to operate the office without a veterinarian. The receptionist literally stated the following to me, and I quote. "Because doctors are humans and like to go on vacations just like you!" Ok....mouth wide open! I won't bore you with the rest of the conversation, just that I stated I will need Gus's medical records forwarded to her new vet. I noticed when reading the reviews, that they were 1 to 5 years old. You may want to reconsider taking your loving pet to this facility, and consider my review as an update. read more

They love animals!! It doesn't seem like it's "just a job" with anyone there. I'm very grateful to have found them!

After having visited two of the four vets in Sebastian I decided to bring my dog here for an allergy shot. We recently moved here from across country and I needed to establish a relationship with a vet in town just in case of an emergency. One of my dogs is diabetic and I found a vet in Vero that I liked but needed someone closer, just in case. I was not at all impressed with the other two vets I had visited in town and didn't have really high hopes for any of them to be very good. My dog was chewing himself raw so I had to do something. I called and requested an appointment ASAP and they were able to squeeze me in Monday afternoon. Everyone was kind and we waited for a bit for it to be our turn. I found the vet to be warm and personable. He made eye contact and listened to what i had to say, he had good energy and we chatted about my other dog with diabetes. I felt so at home and so comfortable here that I will be bringing my other two dogs back and my grandmother's cat as well! Thank you for exceeding my expectations. We will be back! read more
