Took our 12 week old German Shepherd Puppy here. First time being here. The staff was amazing!!! Super friendly and didn't rush our appointment. Prices were decent. Communication back and forth was awesome! They treated us like family and not like a number. Thank you for making this such a awesome experience for me as well as my son.

It is a very nice place, I felt well cared for from the moment I spoke with them on the phone. I have been looking for a long time for a place like Faithful Friends Animal Hospital where they are really interested in what happens with my pets and take care of us with love and kindness and they did it, in addition to the Veterinary Doctor in charge of my dog ​​and her assistant , they explained to me in detail the studies, results and treatment to follow. I am totally grateful to all the staff who work there, I definitely recommend it and of course if my pets need to be cared for Faithful Friends Animal Hospital will be the place we will go to again without thinking twice. Sincerely. Viridiana Gutierrez

This is the most caring and competent vet you will ever find. They treat you and your pets like family. I have been a pet owner for 40 years and feel blessed to have found them!!

Our puppy ended up getting very sick between 3-4 months of age and we almost lost her. Faithful Friends was able to get her in and seen immediately and on the right track. We had multiple visits and saw multiple vets and vet techs due to the nature of the illness and they were all wonderful as well as the front desk staff. Our Oaklee was treated like a celebrity. They should get more than 5 stars based solely on dealing with me because I was a wreck. Luckily we have had no recurrences and our sweet girl is now almost 8 1/2 months old and about 90 pounds and thriving! Thank you Faithful Friends!

I wish this wasn't a negative review, but I feel like others should beware, considering we are entrusting them with our fur babies lives. I have never felt so let down and disappointed as I am with Faithful Friends Animal Hospital. I brought my sweet 10 year old Australian Shepherd in last Monday because she was exhibiting signs of discomfort and I felt a hard lump in her abdominal region. After tests were run, it came back that she had a cancer of some sort but they needed a radiologist to look at it to determine exactly what it was. On Tuesday, I got the call that it was Hemangiosarcoma, a progressive blood cell cancer that had metastasized to the spleen and liver. They said they would give me a few days to think about everything and would be in contact before the end of the week to discuss how to move forward. Let me add, when I brought her in for her annual check up in May of 2023, the vet was extremely apprehensive about touching her and didn't perform an actual physical exam, just simply talked to me and asked if I had any concerns. Had she performed a physical exam, it's possible it could have been caught at that time and could have had plenty of time to explore other options and have a very different outcome. On Wednesday, my dog was exhibiting some very concerning symptoms so I called Faithful Firends and asked for some guidance. They simply told me to get her to the ER vet because they thought she was bleeding out. I followed their instructions and went to North Springs Veterinary Referral Center who did provide amazing treatment for her. They were able to give me a ton of information and were extremely detailed, all of which did not happen with Faithful Friends. They treated her and she was able to come back home with me. I called Faithful Friends on Thursday with a question about one of the medications and again was not given proper information and was simply told that if she is tolerating it well, to go ahead and increase the dosage. They did not ask anything about how she was doing or ask if I even took her to the ER the evening prior. They never called me before the end of the week as I was told they would to further discuss her options or how to move forward. They did nothing. Her symptoms got worse Saturday evening and by Sunday it was clear the cancer had taken over and it was time. We ended up bringing her back to the ER vet Sunday evening and had her humanely euthanized. I have still not heard a word from Faithful Friends. What made it so much worse is her cancer could have been detected and would have had many more options had she gotten a proper exam back in May. This whole experience I just went through with them was extremely unprofessional and absolutely devastating. Do not trust your fur babies lives with them, I unfortunately made that mistake. Never again.
