Island Animal Clinic

The Thursday before the Memorial Day weekend 🤦🏻‍♀️ my elderly Westie was exhibiting signs of a UTI, so I called our regular vet for an appointment. Understandably, they didn’t have any available appointments until the following week. They offered me the option of dropping her off and the vets would try to work her into their already packed schedule, but I figured that would completely stress her out so I decided to search for other options. Island Animal Clinic, which is only a few minutes away from our location, had an appointment for first thing the next morning so I booked it. When we arrived we were greeted promptly and warmly. We were shown to an exam room almost immediately 👍 A vet tech came in and confirmed all our information (they had successfully received our dog’s records from the regular vet). We waited a bit for the vet—not too long—and Dr. Gardner and another tech came in and introduced themselves. They were both warm, attentive, and very gentle with our very scared pup. They talked their way through the exam, explaining everything in everyday language, and they handled our dear pup with the level of love and care that you could only hope for from a vet clinic. ❤️ The tech did a skilled clean catch and the sample went under the microscope. We were sent home with an antibiotic and told she should feel better in 24-48 hours. Within 12 hours I could tell she was feeling better, so hopefully we won’t have to switch to a different antibiotic later. Our pets are like family members, and it is always reassuring to find a vet clinic that treats them as such. The professionalism, care and patience that was shown to us by the staff at the Island Animal Clinic was top notch—we will definitely consider switching to them for our regular vet services. 😎

There is a reason Island Animal Clinic gets 4.9 stars. Believe the reviews. We’re snowbirds with a sick furry kid. You know how stressful that can be — away from home with a sick pet on a weekend. But I was able to make an appointment online within 24 hours. I’m sure if it was an emergency, I could have been seen sooner. Dr. Gardner was great. She listened to our concerns and did a thorough exam of our dog, Lulu. While we don’t yet know exactly what is wrong with Lulu (lab tests are pending), I’m confident that Dr. Gardner will figure it out. Don’t hesitate for a minute to take your sick animal here. Amanda, the receptionist, and the entire staff are super-friendly. You can tell they like both animals and people. The prices are fair, too. I would not hesitate for a minute to take my sick animal here.

We are vacationing here with our dog who had a scare and chose this clinic because of its location and received the best care possible. I’d fly from our hometown just to be able to bring our dog to such an amazing, kind, knowledgeable veterinary. Dr. Fitzgerald quickly recognized the issue and because it took a short amount of time to tackle the problem- didn't even charge us a penny. 🙏 We are so grateful!

Great staff and customer service from the moment we walked in to the time we left the clinic. The tech staff also made a follow up. I never got this type of customer service at the Palma Sola branch.

The staff was able to get my 6 yr old Great Pyrenees in for a check up the next day when I called to have her vomiting checked out. She had tossed her cookies the afternoon we got home from boarding, which had happened a couple times over the weekend. It was concerning enough to warrant a vet trip because vomiting 3 or 4 times over several days is nothing to ignore, especially in a big dog. The kind and knowledgeable staff and veterinarian did a thorough intake. We then agreed on the least invasive course of treatment; start Allie on a bland diet after the injection of Serenia to calm her belly issues. I so appreciate the Island Vet Clinic's staff's quick and attentive response to my call for an appointment ensure nothing more serious was going on. Allie is doing just fine now! She may have been upset from my absence while in boarding, but it was best to have her checked out just in case!!
