Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

I saw online that they examine ferrets. Called, confirmed this was so and booked an appt. The veterinarian was friendly, we were there about 10 mins and told to come back if conditions worsened. When they did and I called again I was told that the Veterinarian I saw is retired and can’t really diagnose anything anyway and was referred elsewhere. Somewhere far more expensive and not near me. My question is…..if this was ALWAYS going to be the case….why did I have to spend any money in the first place for a bogus visit. I had to also pay a new “exam fee” at the place I was “recommended” to go. The whole thing was a major rip off and I’m very disappointed in not only the receptionist but also is the “retired veterinarian” we saw. If you’re retired and can’t diagnose then either say that from the get go so people don’t waste money or have a talk with your receptionist so she isn't making your practice look like a money grab and go. I would NOT recommend anyone taking their FERRETS to this place. And while I’m sure that I’ll get a nice snarky reply about how this is my fault. I want to know why anyone with ferrets would go here if ultimately nothing can be done in the end. RESPONSE TO THEIR RESPONSE- Again….if all that can be done for FERRETS is simplistic in nature, then we should be let known that in advance….$75 FEE down the drain. I don’t care what you say but I should have been told the visit would be simplistic in nature especially AFTER I had described the reason why I was bringing my ferret in! I told the receptionist about her issues, I was not told that a nail clipping and other superficialities are all they can offer.

Really awesome experience all around. They are always on time for appointments. Our dog Ted is a complicated case and has a lot going on (allergies, skin stuff, ear infections, etc). Dr. Scribano took his time with us and created a treatment plan to get to the root cause as opposed to just treating symptoms. Our previous vet would just give him antibiotics all the time which it turns out, he really didn't need. He's been so much better lately and I am extremely happy with the service that we have gotten here.

Truly the best vet in all of St Petersburg. Dr. Mark and his staff were so kind and patient and helped to ease all my concerns with regards to my fur baby. He treated her abscess on her front elbow and she is healing nicely! Would absolutely recommend to anyone to him if you want a personalized and welcoming experience. Thank you, Dr. Mark and staff :)

This was hands down the best vet I have ever been to. My cat hates the vet. She’s quite literally terrified every single time we go. I recently moved to st Pete full time so I was nervous to try a new vet. I explained to them how much she hates the vet and they were so accommodating. The receptionist was sweet enough to have a room ready when we got there so that she didn’t have to see the other animals. The vet tech Sarah and doctor both sat on the floor with my cat and we’re so patient (she isn’t the nicest). I never felt embarrassed for having a cat that doesn’t love the vet and I truly appreciated them. Not to mention she got great care and they know what they are doing! Take your fur babies here!

My dog looked really nice after the grooming, however the service is a little disorganized. They didn't provide me with a wellness report after I had him receive a shot, I had to email them the following day to actually get it. Nor did I get a report of his behavior at the daycare like they told me they would, or a bandana for my dog after his grooming like stated on the bill. I was also told I'd get a follow up email when he needed his booster shot, and haven't heard from them since. They place is nice, clean and the people are friendly and seem to like the pets, but the disorganization will probably keep me away.
