This is the BEST Veterinarian clinic around. Our dog had an alarming situation take place and even though they were already booked, they fit him into their schedule. The wait wasn't long at all. The Vet was great and the assistant was wonderful too. They quickly diagnosed him and treated him. We recommend this clinic to everyone. We can tell that they care a great deal about our pet family. 5 stars from us!

The staff was so nice and the facility so clean and organized. Check in and check out was super smooth and having everything emailed made keeping records very easy. Our doctor was so attentive and gentle with our doggo and made him feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!

This vet is probably hands down the best I've ever went to. The staff are friendly and very caring. They are a very science based practice. They will usually go with the safest most proven treatment choice first. They will research things if necessary to treat your pet. The pricing is very fair. The other good thing that is helpful is the Merritt Island location is open on Sunday (and they can see your pets records) if you need care over the weekend.

We started going to Island Animal Hospital about 3 months after we moved to the area from Virginia. We had a bad experience at our first vet here and we sooo relieved when Island Animal Hospital was exceptional with our, then, 13 1/2 y.o. Pug and our, then, 3 y.o. lab. Since, we have had to put our Pug down. The vet could not have been more accommodating, heartfelt, and desiring to do whatever we wished while guiding us through the pros and cons. Very personable, good "bedside manner", not expensive, and want what you want for your pet. 5 plus Stars!!

Wonderful, caring, and compassionate staff. Excellent doctors. They actually listen to you and work with you to provide your furbaby with the best care! Without them my youngest kitty literally wouldn't be here today.
