I brought Helen, my pot belly pig in. Dr. Holbrook and Dr Valdes were so compassionate and professional. Unfortunately, Helen could not be fixed due to genetic abnormalities. The Drs. Made the transition for my baby girl easier. They treated her with respect and as an Individual.

The amazing vets and staff of UF Large Animal Hospital recently saved our pet goat Gronk’s life when he came down with a life threatening case of urinary calculi! They were caring, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and truly amazing! Gronk went from being in dire straits, to a happy healthy goat again! Our family is so grateful.

For a year, our beloved 12-year-old coonhound’s life was extended through cancer treatment at the UF small animal hospital. He passed away three weeks ago. Only two weeks after his death, our sweet little indoor kitty stopped eating, so we returned to UF for testing. The results were devastating: advanced cancer in and around her spleen and kidneys. Dr. LaVigne and her staff were outstanding in their gentle, compassionate care of our kitty in the challenging last days of her life. They also were kind and thoughtful to us as we dealt with the terrible unexpected loss of yet another loved one.

Great place . Not over priced. They really care about your animals and take great care of them while they are in their care. They are straight forward with info about whats going on with your animal. The vets and the techs,assistants all are very nice. Very caring. My goat went in blind and lethargic my regular vet did not know what was going on with her. Come to find out she had goat polio. A thiamine deficiency. She was there a week and then came home. She has made a 100% recovery she is back to her old self. I want to thank Dr. Nelson and everyone at the Animal Hospital for helping Athena make a full recovery. Great People

I’m honestly surprised by some of the reviews on here. My horse had to have major colic surgery in September of 2016. Without the amazing surgeon, vets, techs, students and everyone else that worked with him I honestly don’t know if he’d be here today. My horse had a full 360 degree torsion by the time I could get him there and they had to remove some 10 feet of his colon. The main vet on his case was in contact with me everyday keeping me informed of every step of the way. Today he is healthier then he was before the surgery and happy as could be. He does unfortunately need another non related, non emergency surgery soon and I won’t go anywhere else but UF.
