About a year-and-a-half ago I I became a dog mom for the first time in a long time. I decided to…read morerescue my first dog about a year later rescued my second because my first had such bad separation anxiety and I could never leave her alone. She was abused and she is terrified of strangers and new people in new places but she's an angel. So it came down to the first time I had to go away out of town on vacation with my children and I was not going to do it because I was so afraid of leaving my dogs. I know that sounds crazy but it is what it is. I left my two babies with Yanely and it was such an awesome experience she sent me pictures, took pictures of them took such good care of them and they were so happy and well cared for and safe while I was gone. It's such a relief to know that I have someone I can leave my neurotic princess with!!!

I would love to travel every where with my puppies but the next best thing is making sure Barks and Whistles is available to care for them! Talk about peace of mind! Leaving our pups with Yanelly takes all the guilt away from leaving them behind. The babies love her and they always come back wagging their tails from all the love she gives. Stop shopping around, Barks and Whistles is the best and the only place we would trust with our fur babes.

Based on the severity of our dogs' condition they took him right in to be seen. This type of care takes time, so we spent quite some time there. They offer water/coffee and other snacks to your disposal. Bathrooms were clean and the staff was well informed to keep us up to date with our dogs care. Unfortunately, our pet came in very sick that night and he had to be euthanized. The care and compassion that their team offered us was incredible that night. My family's emotions and discomfort were immense but they did the most to assure we felt as comfortable as possible in this extremely difficult moment. A huge thank you from my family to Miami Veterinary Specialists, although this moment was one of the worst for our family they did everything they could to support us.

Stay away from Miami Veterinary Specialists…read more I brought my dog in while he was clearly in distress, and the experience was honestly unacceptable. The staff came across as cold and completely disengaged. No eye contact, no sense of urgency, no empathy. In an emergency setting, that's the bare minimum, and it just wasn't there. What shocked me most was the lack of any immediate assessment. My dog was struggling, and instead of a quick triage or even basic reassurance, we were left waiting with zero direction. It felt like nobody cared. After waiting far too long, I left and went to VEG ER for Pets, and the difference was night and day. They were attentive, responsive, and actually treated the situation like an emergency. Miami Veterinary Specialists needs to seriously rethink how they handle patients and owners the moment they walk in. Because right now, they're failing at the most critical part: first contact. At this rate, they'll lose people before a doctor ever even gets involved.

DAY 1: I went because I had an EMERGENCY. My dog had hit his back leg so hard that it ripped the…read moreskin open. So you can imagine how much he was bleeding. If there was an ambulance for dogs I would have called it. I have a German Shepherd so a big dog who is, honestly, hard to handle. He was in extreme pain, crying, barking, bleeding everywhere, restless, and they took more than 30 minutes to attend him. I was furious, I felt like an eternity! They were so worried about papers that my dog was bleeding out! I understand you need consents and you are extremely worried about getting paid, but find a FASTER more effective way! Doctor Hernandez was extremely professional and helpful he understood how worried we were. He explained the procedure and took pictures of before and after the wound. And kept giving us updates. As well as the assistants, very helpful. DAY 2: Now here is why I might never bring my dog here again. I got an APPOINTMENT for 8:00pm. I was there on time and they "paged" for a bandage change. A simple bandage change took 1 hour and 30 minutes to get done. They had me wait for all that time just because no reason. My dog was even worst this time, he remembered the place and he didn't want to be there. He was restless, barking, going crazy, drooling, pleading for us to take him home. It was such a frustrating and horrible experience. Again I can't deny that they are probably the most knowledgeable veterinarians I have ever been to, but the lack of understanding of how time sensitive the situations they have to handle are take away their stars. The place is clean and extremely organized. And 24hrs very convenient. But you are paying for all that, the place deserves $$-$$$.

I can't begin to explain, without becoming emotional, what Kendall Pointe Animal Hospital the Vet's, nurses, the front desk reception, and the entire staff mean to us and our precious MistyMoon. We brought MistyMoon home Oct 30, 2022. On Nov 26, 2022 MistyMoon became very ill vomiting and non stop diarrhea. We called VCA Knowles Snapper Creek, MVS Sunset & 86 Ave, and VEG ER S. Dixie & 119. They all had a 4 to 5 hour wait and recommended we go to Kendall Pointe Animal Hospital. I am so grateful they were too busy and referred us to Kendall Pointe!! Suffice it to say that we can not thank Dr. Del Monte, Dr. Gallardo, Dr. Monroe, both Dr.'s Garcia, Dr. Carballo Capote, and Dr. Quiles for the exceptional professional care they provided to our MistyMoon each and every time we take her in for either a routine visit or an urgent emergency visit. Especially on the two occasions the emergency turned into multiple over-night stays. Leaving her was very difficult but we knew she was in very capable and loving hands. Was it expensive? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. When one adds a pet to one's family, medical care should and cannot be based on the cost. It should be based on providing a member of your family the best care available to ensure the most positive results for your pet. Our deepest heartfelt Thank you to all the doctor's mentioned above. And to all the nurses and staff whose names I remember and my apologies if I missed your name.

I was charged over $3,000 for and ultrasound and bloodwork, received a concerning diagnostic and have asked between 4 separate follow ups, for the results to be sent to me so that I can take next steps in seeking treatment options. I have received nothing -- the staff continuously ignores emails and it is nothing but empty promises on the phone that it "will be sent". Does this sound like a place that cares more about your pets, or your money?

From the moment we stepped in, we were treated with kindness and care. They took her back immediately and put us in a room. Within minutes the vet came in and told us some very difficult news and we knew she wasn't going to make it. They rushed us into a quiet room and brought her in so we could say our goodbyes before she passed. They gave her meds to help her make the transition painless. It was one of the most difficult things I've had to endure. My husband and I were devastated and heartbroken. However, the team at LeadER was incredible. They were kind, caring, understanding, and knowledgeable. They let us grieve and have as much time with our baby girl as we needed. It was the only light in that dark time. We then went to pick up her ashes a week later and noticed the had filled out a card for us. It was so unexpected but immensely appreciated. Thank you so much to the team at LeadER!

Left feeling very disappointed. I took my dog in today and…read morethe front desk person was very nice . When met with Dr. Clay Philips at first he was attentive . He said he would be back with an estimate , when the nurse came back with an estimate I had questions, Dr Philips came back in with another attitude , he was short , rude and annoyed I was asking questions about the $1600 estimate . When I told him we were going to wait it out a couple hours , he walked out of the room and closed the door . No words , just left . He was clearly annoyed I was questioning the prices . I decided to leave ,they wanted me to sign a paper at the front desk saying I am refusing care . Laqueda in the front desk continued with the rude and condescending service . I was appalled that how their behavior changed simply because I questioned the estimate . I will never come back . It felt like the doctor simply wanted my money , not to take care of my pet . They held my dog in the back until I paid the visit fee . ( which I had no problem doing ) . Once I paid , they tell someone in the back that my dog was ready to leave . Basically is a very money hungry place . They held my dog "hostage" in the back until I paid . Awful experience . Dr Clay Philips made us feel our pet didn't matter . Only how deep our pockets were .
