Lola’s hoooman mommy and daddy Jason and Lynn

My dog is diabetic and has needed help several times. The doctor and staff here have always been so kind and accommodating to us. We appreciate everything you do! Highly recommend.

Very caring staff. Doc Pyle informs you what will happen next, after examining your pet. The staff will inform you of the cost. The staff is very caring for your pet. A good place to bring your pet in an emergency. I was very pleased with their dedication and hard work in caring for all pets. My house cat has recovered from an attack from another male cat. I would recommend you go there. One important note, they don’t vaccinate. You will have to take your pet to another veterinarian . It is expensive, if you have pet insurance, then use it. Ask first, which insurances they accept. They do offer Care credit, which we declined because of the high interest rate, nevertheless less is something better than nothing . You will have to look at your own financial status. You may want to use a credit card since the interest rate may be lower than Care credit. You decide, how much is your pet worth it ? Animals should never have to suffer in pain. They are like our children.

We cannot thank the emergency vet and the entire staff enough for the incredible care they gave our sweet Gus Gus while we were on vacation. It’s never easy being away from your pet during an emergency, but from the moment we walked in the clinic, they treated him with compassion, urgency, and genuine love. The doctors and staff kept us informed every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and made us feel reassured even from miles away. Their kindness, professionalism, and dedication truly went above and beyond. Gus Gus was cared for like he was their own, and that means the world to us. We are so grateful for everything they did and highly recommend this amazing team to anyone needing emergency veterinary care. Can’t thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of our boy and us!

My sweet girl had been sick since the day after Christmas. We traveled back to FL from GA the next day. We saw a little improvement Sunday, but in the wee hours of Monday (just shy of 1:00 AM), we saw a decline. I’m very particular about where I take my fur baby and a 3.8 review rating was the best and quite honestly, is hard to get in vet medicine (I use to work in the industry). From the moment I walked in, I felt at peace and knew my girl would be taken care of. For emergency care, prices are very reasonable and I would definitely recommend this practice.

I found myself in a frightening situation where my dog suddenly developed what I believed were severe respiratory problems. His resting breathing rate had been between 20–30 breaths per minute, but on Easter Monday it suddenly escalated to 40–60, with constant panting. I truly thought I was going to lose him. Like anyone would, I searched for an emergency veterinarian and chose Emergency Vets of Hernando County. It turns out I was completely wrong about what was happening. What looked like a respiratory crisis was actually something entirely different. My dog was suffering from parasites that caused severe abdominal pain, which in turn affected his breathing. I didn’t recognize this at all. When we arrived, they immediately assessed him to determine whether he needed oxygen. Thankfully, he did not. The doctor quickly identified that his abdomen was extremely tight and painful — something I had not understood at home. It was Easter Monday, and understandably very busy. We waited, but once we were brought into a room, the team took the time to thoroughly evaluate him. Over the course of about six hours, we met some of the kindest and most competent people. They explained everything clearly, ran the necessary tests, and helped us understand what was actually happening. We made the decision to proceed with all recommended tests, even though it was financially difficult, because his condition was that serious. In the end, they diagnosed the parasites causing his abdominal distress and provided the appropriate treatment — including medications to relieve the pain, relax the abdominal muscles, treat the parasites, and an anti-nausea injection before discharge. We went home and followed their instructions. One day later, he is still recovering, but he is resting comfortably — and most importantly, he is still with us. My dog is 11 years old, and he means everything to me. In a moment where I genuinely thought I might lose him, having a competent, compassionate emergency veterinary team made all the difference. Yes, there may be less expensive options, but in an emergency, competence, clarity, and care matter most. Emergency Vets of Hernando County provided all of that. I cannot recommend them enough. We are incredibly grateful for their care and for giving us more time with our Mac Mac!

If I could write zero stars I definitely would. The whole entire staff was RUDE!!!! We barely walked through the door and the lady in front yelled at us because we didn’t have a leash. Well she can’t walk anymore and she can’t stand on her own and is in a lot of pain. That’s why we were there in the first place to put the dog down. She is literally dying and looks like crap. Then the lady in the front had me pay before hand and told me to keep the pen and walked away and used hand sanitizer and looked disgusted. Again my dog was dying and did not look healthy . I had to use the bathroom and the toilet was already super clogged so I decided to leave it because it was so high I thought it was going to flood. As soon as I came out the lady in the front ran into the bathroom behind me and sprayed so much disinfectant spray my asthma started acting up. As we had to go in the back the other vet tech asked to weigh her and front desk lady said oh you don’t have to weigh her. She looks like shes 50 pounds , yes when she was healthy and at her best. I understand your putting her down but that’s my baby and this is hard enough. We walked into the room and everyone just rushed and wanted us out . I didn’t even get a paw print like they said they would give us. I understand I am not a perfect person but if you don’t like someone please don’t make it apparent on the hardest day of their life. I hope I never have to come back here and I hope other people join me and not come here .
