The staff here are amazing. They took great care of my elderly cat who has been sickly. The vet was very knowledgeable and nice as well. They called and checked in on my cat to check his progress and offered more help if we needed it. Would highly recommend them! Update: My senior cat unfortunately passed away. They had done everything they could for him. After he passed I called to let them know and they were so genuinely sad that he was unable to make it. Later that day I received a beautiful rose and condolence note. This made a very hard time a little bit brighter. Thank you for all you did.
{Post began in 2017} I've had two of my dogs for about two years (picked from The Humane Society) and Safari is the only place that I've taken them for care. My dogs are excited when we arrive and it's funny that they run to the scale to be weighed as soon as we get there. I leave my pups with the clinic when I have to travel because I know the dogs feel that they are just in their second home. Wonderful staff that really care about their jobs and my family. Would not recommend anyone else. {continued in 2020} Life happened and my little family moved to Orlando area. We found a highly recommended vet, but they always see to find something so every visit costs $200 or more. My wife asked if I would go back to Safari. So, we are planning on making a 90 minute drive to Tampa to see the best Vet in Florida.
I am so grateful to Safari Animal Clinic. I had been at another facility for over 15 years and they were unable to schedule my ill cat in his time of need. Safari was able to fit him in right away. They were upfront and honest about what to expect for services and fees. They were friendly and genuine. Time was taken to listen & understand our position, to thoughtfully communicate, and assist through the decision making process. My cat & I were treated with dignity and compassion. Staff were attentive and took the time to call and follow up on his well being and accommodate his growing needs during his end stage. They were incredibly supportive. I wish my cat had been at Safari from the start. I will definitely return here when I am ready for a new pet.
I brought my 18 year old cat in because he was losing weight and not eating well and Dr. Nelmapius found a range of ailments including thyroid problem and tooth infections. He was extremely thorough and patient in explaining the problems and treatments and was more than willing to listen and answer all of our questions (of which there were many). They treated our cat with laser therapy which did wonders for his pain and he is making an amazingly quick recovery. All the staff clearly love animals and are exceptionally friendly and helpful. When we tried to get in with our regular vet the wait was more than a week. Safari got us in within a few hours, which is what you need when your pet is sick. Their prices are very reasonable and needless to say Safari is now our full time vet. This place is awesome.
We love Safari Animal Clinic! They always take such great care of our senior kiddies. Our kiddies go annually, but also for rare one-off issues. They are so gentle and kind with our senior kiddies. They follow up to make sure everyone feels well after annual shots, and they remember our preferences for flea medicine (2 cats need one type, 2 a different type). We give them 8 dewclaws and 4 human thumbs up!
