Staff was super friendly and great with my gentle giant. We did experience an issue with some printed instructions not being accurate, but the owner was very attentive to the issue and made us feel as though this was an error that has been easily resolved since being brought to their attention. Hoping to update to a 5 star review once we attend our next appointment.

My cat has been an established patient for two years at Pet Pal. Skip to the last paragraph if you don't want to read everything. I recently had to go to Orlando for an FHO surgery for my cat due to significant cost savings (everyone in this area was double the price). I was told that he would need to have his sutures removed in two weeks. Explaining I live in St Pete, they recommended I contact my primary vet and they should be able to remove them no problem. For reference, my total drive time was 6 hours there and back with the crazy traffic on I-4. So trying to save myself the grueling drive for a 10 minute suture removal appointment, I contacted Pet Pal. They essentially refused to accommodate a suture removal because they did not perform the surgery themselves (a surgery they do not offer). They were explaining how he needs post op care and I would need to bring him back to where the surgery was performed. While I do understand where they are coming from, I only needed the sutures to be removed and didn't ask for any other service. I was told if I didn't want to bring him back to Orlando, I can try to contact other vets in the area for the removal. The problem is he isn't established at another vet office. So after several calls, I was finally able to find an office willing to remove the sutures. Pet Pal has proven to be an unreliable vet office. Going forward, I would only recommend them for vaccines since they are lower cost compared to other places in the area. As for general vet visits and other medical needs, I wouldn't recommend them. Save yourself the headache and establish your animals with an office that will actually accommodate your needs outside of a generic yearly checkup.

Got my dog fixed at a low price. I had an employee tell me 40 to be paid over the phone for the reservation and then 30 the day of. My wife picked him up and they charged her 80 instead of 30. They claimed they since fired the employee that told us the total was 70, not 110. All that aside, it was cheap and easy and his stitches held and I recommend. If you bring your own cozy cute doughnut (15 on Amazon) you can save them the cone of shame and the 15 bucks they charge you. Highly suggest this route as the cone makes them miserable.

Christmas Day I found a lump ( not knowing what caused this) on my Shepards right hip. Pet Pal got my boy in the very next day and we were lucky to have him in for removal of the mass on the 27th of December after our consultation on the 26. The staff here are very friendly, and honestly accommodating. This is was not just to my super scared pup but also me who was scared to death and anxious it could be cancer. Dr. Smith did an amazing job and got all of the margins. Even though it was NOT cancer I’m so grateful to this clinic. My boy is now healing post op. I’m super protective as he had such an ugly background prior to being adopted I’m very protective. They are an excellent choice and they serve communities that otherwise may not be able to afford treatment. Thank you again. Kristie and Theo

Update- Had a dental go badly for my senior dog. They couldn't get him in for urgent care on several occasions and I was at the mercy of emergency vets because no one else could work him in as he was not established with another clinic. What used to be a good thing has turned into a very bad recipe for health care for my furry family members. They mean well, but they are unable to manage their office and their current patient needs. --- Excellent care at reasonable cost. Wonderful staff, from the receptionist to the vets.
