I adopted my dog Demetrius there. They had taken very good care of him while here was with them. They gave me his meds, medical records and some food to get started. They were very thorough in checking me out so he went to a good home. And that we were a good match. Great place.

I’ve brought my two dogs for years. The staff is friendky, courteous, and prompt. Dr. Cunningham is very knowledgeable, explains all the options when treatment, and overall takes great care of my dogs. And the vets that fill in for her from time to time don’t miss a beat.

Dr. Cunningham and South Dixie Animal Hospital are the only place we trust to take care of our babies. We were blessed to find Dr. Cunningham over a decade ago after adopting a dog and being given her location for our free check up. We never thought that would start the incredible journey that we have been on since. My wife and I are prone to taking in dogs that are “medically needy“ and the only reason we feel comfortable doing so is because we know we have the skill and knowledge of Dr. Cunningham and SDAH to take care of them. A few years ago the company I worked for moved from Boynton Beach to the Orlando area and my biggest concern was being so far away from Dr. Cunningham. While we decided to make the move, my fears came true not long after we settled in when one of my dogs needed surgery locally. We took her to a beautiful place close to us but she passed away the following morning. I still believe that if I could have gotten her to Dr. Cunningham things would have gone differently. Since that day we have driven three hours each way for every sniffle. It’s not just Dr Cunningham either, the staff at SDAH is second to absolutely none. Most of the staff have been with Dr. Cunningham since the start of her career. They have been there through the good times and bad times with us, they don’t even mind all the silly questions over and over again from an overprotective dog dad. People say it’s who you know not what you know but I believe that it’s both. Dr. Cunningham is constantly investing in continuing education and because of that as well as her collegiate success, she has trained next to the top specialists in all fields. You don’t realize how important that is until you find a cancerous lump right next to your babies eye and you need a soft tissue surgeon to very precisely remove it, thankfully Dr. Cunningham had the number of one of the best in the business and we were in the next week. This is more than just a review, this is a testament to somebody that has devoted their life to being the greatest at something very important. If you are anywhere in the area, or even three hours away, I would highly, highly recommend South Dixie Animal Hospital, Dr. Cunningham and the entire incredible staff that will bend over backwards to make sure you and your babies are treated with love, care and respect!

Amazing staff here! Came to spend some time with one of the rescue dogs from Shepherd Help and Rescue Effort. Everyone was happy to see us, and I can tell these are people who love the animals!
