Live Oak Animal Hospital

The sweetest and easiest place to go! Sadly we had to put our elderly dog down and who knew that right next door was the perfect place. Thank you all for being so sweet and kind and easy and sensitive. 💜

Very rude and inconsiderate highly recommend avoiding this business . Our car was undrivable after a minor incident and there were no repair shops open to get us on the road again. We left a note in the window with contact info however they chose to call the police at 7am then immediately had a tow truck tow it off even though we were in the process that very minute of trying to get it removed . If it was a normal day I would understand however a hurricane is not a normal day and some consideration should have been applied it only just shows you what kind of people run this business and should you trust them with your pets !

We had a cat whose health had been ministered to by another vet, a personal friend. Their office was considerably further away than Live Oak, but, well, you know. Said vet and his wife, both members of our church and choirs, had Covid the week we felt that Portia was terminal, and thus unavailable. They recommended some folks. Live Oak was just down the street from our home; we pass it every day on the way to the gym. Live Oak diagnosed the fast-arriving and faster-growing cancer which had arrived in the couple of weeks since her last visit to our friends' office, and explained how others had treated this horrible disease. None of them made any sense for a geriatric cat, and the decision was made to put her down. The staff couldn't have been more caring, and after I'd watched the light go out of Portia's eyes, the attending vet (there are several) carefully wrapped her in the blanket she'd given us to hold her in during her passage, and gave us photo ops, and some time alone to say our final goodbyes to her. A few days later, a condolences card, thoughtfully signed and commented upon by the entire staff, accompanied by a nose and paw prints, arrived in the mail. During the entire runup to the process, we (all 3 of us) were lovingly handled, so to speak. We could not have chosen a better assist for Portia's graduation and trip over Rainbow Bridge...

My dog, Titus, was in need of specialized care (he had a growth on his toe that required surgery) and a good friend of mine recommended I go to Live Oak for a second opinion. I had a great experience with Dr. Walsh and opted to have her do the surgery. From pre-op care to post-op bandage changes every few days for several weeks, our entire experience was wonderful. They are professional, organized and caring. Titus is doing fantastic now and goes on 8 mile beach walks with zero limp! Can’t thank the Live Oak team enough for the care.

Dr. Torrado is a fur baby Angel. His compassion has no limits. He would get down on the floor with my fur baby and she so loved him. He held my Abby in his arms while I fell apart in the parking lot, when she crossed the rainbow bridge after 18 years. The staff, I can't say and praise them enough. thank you!
