We called Chiefland Animal Hospital and explained what had happened and they told us to bring her right in. Upon arrival with Karly we were immediately escorted to a private office where we made arrangements for her cremation. All the staff was very companionate and helped us through this personal tragedy. We were impressed with their efficiency and professionalism. We highly recommend Chiefland Animal Hospital for all your pet's needs. Thank you to all the staff members for your kind consideration of loss.

Renaud killed my 3 yo male Siamese, Poco Loco, through sheer negligence and bungling incompetence…read more Poco was fine that morning; he ate breakfast and went outside. Around noon he came in and I gave him some lunch, with the other cats. Later that afternoon he came in very distressed; his tongue was hanging out, he was drooling, vocalizing and his breathing was rapid. I rushed him to Suwannee Vets. Dr. Bowker was off that day, so Renaud saw him. He looked him over. I asked "What do you think, Doc?" His answer, quote was: "I have no idea." Turns out it was syphlactic shock, most likely from pawing or mouthing a wasp and getting stung. Renaud gave him a narcotic shot of Bupronex to calm him down, gave me some antibiotics, charged me $153 and sent us home. Less than 2 hours later, Poco was dead, from respiratory failure. Turns out Bupronex is exactly what SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN! It killed him. Protocol is a fluid IV, antibiotics and possibly adrenaline, with an overnight stay. Renaud certainly knows how to charge you, though! I demanded a refund and he totally blew me off. He knows he screwed up! I already was avoiding him for Dr. Bowker, as I'd previously had a couple of unsatisfactory results with Renaud with two other cats. So he killed my cat from negligence and charged me $153. I've consulted two other vets with Poco's symptoms and behavior, along with Renaud's treatment and both agreed it was syphlactic shock and giving him Bupronex was disastrous. One vet asked if Poco's mouth was examined. "NO, it wasn't" I answered. She left it at that. I didn't tell them which vet was responsible. Maybe Renaud is good with dogs, but cats? I miss Poco terribly. What happened to him makes me sick. Mark Silvera

I went there years ago with Dr Philpot. It was a top notch place back then. I was informed that…read morethis has changed and there is constant staff turnover and vet turnover, nobody stays long. I gave it a try during my first visit a tech was looking directly at my dog's vaccination records all typed out and said my dog needed rabies vaccination. I said no he had it . She repeated two times and stared at the one sheet document that it says he does not have it. I asked if I could see the document and she showed me, i immediately pointed to next rabies due 2028. It was very concerning. I Reported back to same place for my for my other dogs surgery. They weighed him and the surg tech came out and said we need a reweigh, 10 pounds difference ( good surgery tech) Sure enough the same tech that could not read a chart 3 days prior wrote the weight down wrong -10 lbs. So two dogs two mistakes same day. One would have gotten another rabies vaccination and the other potential meds/anesthesia issues. Furthermore they take dogs back for vaccinations. Do them in front of parents, these are our kids. First of all I want the vet to give vaccination and not in back room. Should not have gone here. It did not get better, post surgery i had issues. Called in the am, front desk said send picture, i did. She said she would share it with vet. 5 hrs later i had to call. She said oh yeah he said, .... why didn't someone call. There was more, it got worse not better. Just disappointed. To me too many staff members. Too many errors.

Dr. Hollyn Belhart is everything you hope to find when facing one of the hardest decisions of your…read morelife as a pet guardian -- kind, warm, and genuinely compassionate. Before I ever scheduled an appointment, she spent hours with me via phone and email, completely free of charge, helping me assess the quality of life for my two 16-year-old Maine Coon cats. She never rushed me and gave me guidance that only someone who truly cares could offer. Sadly, one of my girls had a squamous cell tumor in her mouth that made eating painful, and Dr. Belhart helped me navigate that heartbreak with patience and grace. I also appreciate her straightforward pricing. At least one competitor charges by the mile, both ways, based on their Apple Maps route. When you're grieving, the last thing you need is to know that the "meter is running." (Crazy.) Dr. Belhart's approach is refreshingly honest. If you're facing end-of-life decisions for your four-legged friend, contact her. Do it. She is extraordinary!
