How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Stuart Animal Hospital

Preventive care

I am afraid to tell you how much Stuart Animal Hospital means to our family; our pets. If I do, I am afraid of how many people will want to become customers, and then make such a successful, caring team even more busy than they already are. They are our family. They care for our pets and truly are concerned for them beyond just as their "customers." They have called us at night to share test results the minute they arrive, shared their lunch breaks to allow us to spend time with our sick loved ones. Don't go there. Don't find out how lucky we are to have their care.

Well my initial to visits didn't end too well because I couldn't get past the receptionist, who determined if my cat had a blockage I needed to go at the emergency, which then in turn cost me $1, 024 , and it wasn't a blockage. Finally I got the appointment I wanted with Dr Ortiz ,which is an absolutely incredible human being, oh my gosh Tinker really, really ,loved him from first meeting him and is shy with most people,poor boy the results,I sadly had to euthanize my sweet boy. Dr Ortiz and the other staff that they will honest with me and could not have been any kinder, or respectful to both me and my boy, talking on with nurturing touches, this was why I wanted to see Dr Ortiz from the get-go, life is not being so kind lately so this meant the World to me ✌️🙏.

So.. I was on my way to a clinic to get my cat her shots and car broke down in the way so I was not going to be able to keep my appointment and it would have taken about a month to get another one. When I was at Ammco, which is next door, the owner told me to walk over and ask if they could do the shots, and that’s how I ended up at Stuart Animal Hospital!.. I can’t believe how kind and professional they were from the second I walked thru the door with my cat in hand!.. they took her right in and were able to give her the shots she needed, and she is not an easy cat to deal with. I’ve tried to take her to two other vets in Martin county and those visits were not positive experiences, which is why I drive all the way to the clinic in Jupiter. After coming here I will not be needing to drive all the way down there any more!!.. everyone in the office is as friendly as friendly can be and I highly recommend this office for making new acquaintances and taking great care of your pet!!
