University of Florida Veterinary Hospital

When they finially got us and took us in room. Told me i would need $3-5,000 I only had $500 to work with. My dogs neck was so swollen up the they would not at least tell me what we were working with. It cost $200 for her to tell me that. Even tho i had $300 left she said blood work, Cat scan, tests will cost more that and wanted to keep him. Broke my heart. Found out a week later he has Mass Cell Tumor. CANCER

Disclaimer: if you can’t afford the price of *their services they will recommend euthanasia. Brought my dog that was in shock in for emergency services and they gave him medication, within 20 minutes of being there told me he wasn’t improving it would be 3-4k for the hospital stay when I said I did not have the kind of money they strongly recommended I euthanize my dog. I even brought up taking him home and to his regular vet when it opened and they tried to convince me he was going to suffer and the most humane thing was to euthanize. 3 vets looked me in the eye and said he wouldn’t make it, their mistake was letting him walk into the goodbye room. The dog I brought in could not walk, the dog they wanted me to euthanize was walking and wagging his tail. Me and my dog walked out of there, were charged for a euthanasia they did not preform, 4 days later have not been refunded and when I called to ask about his collar they hung up on me. My dog survived btw, I took him to his local vet when they opened and they were able to fix him up for less than $500. They agreed he had plenty of fight left in him. Not sure if it was breed related but he is a pitbull. I’m convinced the shots they gave him when we got there saved his life, but they either were unwilling to give him time or just did not have the compassion I would hope to expect from this next generation of veterinarians.

I’ve visited twice in the past month for emergency calls with friends' dogs, and the staff could not have been more accommodating. Every person we spoke with was compassionate and gave us their full attention. The wait was much shorter than expected for late-evening visits. Even though these were emergencies, the issues were mostly diagnostic and treatable at home once evaluated. This helped keep costs down since my friends felt confident handling the care themselves, though the staff was more than willing to step in if needed. Overall, both were great experiences that provided my friends with much-needed peace of mind.

I had a wonderful experience at UF, it was a very scary time for me, my Pomeranian Polly had a stroke and my vet told me to take her to the hospital. She had all of the testing needed to find the reason for her declining health. Yes it was expensive but we have the answers now, she has an autoimmune disease which will be controlled with 1 prednisone a day!!! My doctor was Dr.Jenise Carter, she is an internal medicine veterinarian and she called me every morning and every evening to update me on my dogs progress, my dog will now live a long healthy life now and for me you can’t put a price on that. I thank her from the bottom of my heart, God bless her ♥️

UF saved my senior cat from an FIP infection which is still 80% fatal in young cats. Seriously knowledgeable and empathetic doctors. Nice facility. And, we found out that regular vet appointments cost less at UF than our regular vet—too bad Gainesville is 3 hours away from where we live! I’d rather not have to go through the trauma and cost again, but I would not mind going back to UF for an emergency vet visit.

I stopped here while driving across the country. They were quick to assess my dog and help give me the OK to continue driving and plan to get her to her veterinarian. Everyone was friendly, honest and I can’t believe they didn’t even charge me. It meant the world to me to know that I was doing the right thing driving her back home. Thanks to everyone at UF!

We saw an ophthalmologist for our Great Dane at the clinic at the WEC. The clinic was very clean, nicely maintained. The staff was very nice. They were very friendly and helpful. The doctor and nurse handled him with such wonderful care. The staff and clinic staff were all extremely professional, the wait time was super minimal, and they were great with my dog. I couldn’t ask for anything more! The cost of the visit was very reasonable as well. We will definitely use them again in the future.
