Highly recommend! Dr Freeman and his staff were excellent! We use a different vet with our dog but needed a specific Rabies vaccine with USDA certification for travel. He and his team respected our choices and provided the needed services with no issues. The communication was great and they gave us all the information we needed. Strongly recommend them!

I love Dr Freeman and Dr Buckner both! They take time with my puppies when they are scared. They take time with me to explain what's going on. They are very thorough. It's easy to get an appointment even in an emergency.

Where do I begin! I promise it will be worth the read. And if you're looking for a new Vet Hopefully you will RUN to get established with Sunset Point Animal Hospital. I switched over to Dr. Freeman about a year ago with my two labs; Paisley(7) and Myla(8). My mom met him at Calvary High School in Clearwater and told me I HAD to go get established with him. A year later, I feel so grateful because I'm not sure Myla would be alive right now if I hadn't. A Vet you're confident is irreplaceable and invaluable. The Back Story: Myla hurt her hind leg just before Hurricane Milton but was unable to be seen until we came back due to evacuation. In the mean time, I tried to give her Carprofen I had on hand from Paisleys leg injury last year. I called on Friday feeling desperate for her to be seen as we drove home and they kindly squeezed me in. We started her on a treatment plan for her back knee and followed up close the following week. Over the next several days Myla stopped eating and didn't seem like herself. Her knee seemed to be getting better but she was looking physically worse. Dr. Freeman ran some labs and took an X-ray of her belly. During his assessment he picked up on a VERY faint yellow tinge in her eyes that wasn't there the previous week. She was in liver shock. Things got scary really quick, we had to discuss the possibility of cancer/a tumor and even the need to euthanize. As hard as it was to hear; He was soo gentle with his delivery and provided many options for how to proceed. He allowed me time to talk things out WITH him and we decided to keep Myla in his office overnight (where she was loved and comfortable) on IV Fluids to wait for his friend/college Dr. Weaver (who does traveling work) to come to his office for an emergent Liver Ultrasound the following day. Dr. Freeman went in multiple times throughout the night to check on Myla and take her out for potty breaks. He sent me videos and emailed me with updates to ease my mind. I seriously don't think he slept. The following day was one of the hardest days. His staff set me up in a little room where I could hang out with Myla while we waited for Dr. Weaver do an Ultrasound on her Liver. We got good news, it wasn't cancer! However, we dont know what caused this acute liver shock. We are still in the process of figuring things out BUT Myla is making improvements and is able to ride out her sickness in the comfort of her own home. She is on IV Fluids around the clock. (So grateful they allowed me to come home and manager her here). She ate through an IV overnight and the office squeezed me in for a new IV. I wish I could show you all his report cards from each visit. There is so much attention to detail and descriptive instructions about things we talk about in the appointment to reference back to. Having a sick pup is so nerve wrecking but I have felt so much peace and confidence with Myla being in the hands of every single staff member at Sunset Point Animal Hospital. I have to give a super SPECIAL thank you to Josie and Danielle. For all of the hugs, the help, the water, the tissues, the pee pads, the blankets and most importantly; for loving on Myla all day when I wasn't there. I never worried about her once knowing she had you!!! I pray Myla makes a full recovery. She is in the BEST hands and getting the BEST care possible. Take this as confirmation that your pet needs Sunset Point Animal Hospital.

Dr. Chris Freeman and the staff at Sunset Point Animal Hospital are SIMPLY THE BEST! His “bedside manner” put our dog totally at ease - a FIRST - and his instructions for us were exceptionally detailed. I particularly recommend the services they offer for international travel with pets. Their expertise was unmatched, in our experience.
