Malabar Veterinary Clinic

As snowbirds our diabetic dog developed a severe UTI. So thankful that they were able to take care of our dog. The Dr is great. Everyone was exceptionally helpful and nice, especially vet tech Alyssa. I would definitely recommend Malabar Vet Clinic. They sure helped us tremendously.

I brought Twinkie and Smurf in after seeing numerous doctors. I’ve been fighting my dogs, pneumonia/kennel cough whatever it was and have spent a few thousand dollars. I went into Malabar country vet yesterday and my veterinarian was Dr. Swartz . He was very caring he took time with me. He explained everything. He let me ask all the stupid questions that I felt I needed to ask. He was very patient with me and I will make them my permanent veterinarian. I recommend Malabar country vet on Malabar Road to everyone they don’t just do dogs and cats they do all. Thank you Dr. Swartz if I could give you 10 stars I would, but they only allow five.

I got raving reviews from people I trust about this vet because of how the clinic treated my friends' dog with cancer. My boyfriend took my puppy in this afternoon for his first visit since we got him. While he claimed the doctor was great, he said that the techs were very rough with the puppy, choking him to get him to move and gossiping loudly (only stopping when my dog barked, presumably because they realized they could probably be heard). I would love to stay here because I really want to trust my friends and I do appreciate that the doctor was great, but knowingly keeping my pet somewhere I know is unreliable is not something I am comfortable with. I am really disappointed in hearing about the techs, and while I may give it one more try, I am already consulting friends on other vets in the area.

Backstory: I called the Malabar Vet Clinic and made an appointment to put down my husband’s much loved, very old man cat, Sparrow. It was heartbreaking for our whole family, as Sparrow had become a constant fixture in our lives, but his quality of life had come to a point where it would have been selfish to let him continue on. The review: When I say that every single person in this clinic treated us and Sparrow with the kindest, most gentle manner I can imagine, I am not exaggerating. It started with the lady behind the desk giving us a Saturday appointment (when they don't normally do that for new customers), so my husband could be there with Sparrow on his day off. It progressed to them immediately giving us a room where we were able to be alone and love on him until the vet and her assistant were ready. When they did come in, they were incredibly sweet and gentle with him/us. What really pushed it to the point of me feeling I had to acknowledge their kindness was when I just went to the mailbox and saw they had sent us a card which everyone there had signed. 10/10 would recommend, and I am going to switch my vet for my other animals going forward.

Malabar Veterinary Clinic provided excellent care for our dog. She had an ear infection, and after analyzing a swab sample, they determined the best treatment. Our follow-up appointment showed that the infection had cleared up with their analysis of another swab sample. They provided us with advice to prevent reinfection. The entire staff is very professional, friendly, and understanding. We now have a full service veternary clinic for our dog.
