VCA Little Animal Hospital

This place is absolutely amazing ! The Vets are extremely nice and explain everything thats going on with your animals . Price is never an issue cause i know that my dogs are in good hands. One time i didnt have the whole amount and they worked out a payment plan with me without a problem.. Wich not many places would do. Its a sure thing that the animals matter more to them then just a dollar sign ! In the 3 years i've been going to them i have not one complaint. :)

to Gravens Mommas...because of you I did NOT go to VCA today as planned. I searched for the Vet you promoted. OMG I want to hug and kiss you , the man is amazing...he spent over two hours going over my cats records and helped my kitty so much today...the prices in his clinic are awesome. The compassion and the love he shows all the animals was incredible. for the first time in over 8 weeks I totally understand my cats disease now ..THANK YOU GRAVENS MOMMAS for taking the time to write about him....

Just an update (5/7/13): I still go here and love this place. I took my cat to see Dr Parenton the other day (they offer a free exam for all new cats - some promo they have going on) and she was very very nice and gentle. Everyone there was very friendly. My cat was sick and I didn't think she would live. We did tests and found out she has diabetes. With the meds and food change, she's back to her old self again. I am so very grateful for all this place did and how they treated me!!

Don't pay attention to the negative comments below. These people have no clue about this place! Or maybe they didnt like being told the truth about needing to do something important for their pet. I've been going to this vet for years and years. Yes - some of the people have changed. Big Woop. Change happens. Everyone there shows that they like working there. They know my name and my cats name when I show up. Every time. I've shopped around, so I know there are a few other vets near by that may charge a little less. So what. Who wants cheap vet care for a pet that is part of their family? Not me. Dr Green and Dr Parenton are smart and tell me the truth about what my cat needs in order to stay healthy. Takeing care of a pet is more than getting shots. This place knows and lives that.

If the writer of this comment will contact me I will clue them in on this vet. I do need to speak with them.

I just moved here a few months ago and started looking for a place to take my dogs. I went to 3 other vets before I visited VCA Little Animal Hospital just to get a feel for the ones in the area. This will certainly be my vet of choice! Dr. Parenton was fantastic with my dogs! She explained everything so well. The nurses were fantastic too. I could tell the whole staff enjoyed being there and really care about animals. Their prices were a little higher than 2 of the 3 I visited before I found them, but you get what you pay for!!!! Exceptional quality!!! Fantastic service!!! The cleanest vet office I have ever seen. I'll definitely visit them every time my dogs need anything!

I have taken my dogs there in the past and even used their kennel. I have to say the staff is not as nice as the ones who were there in the beginning. The veterinarians are not warm as other veterinarians I have gone to. They are rough even. Last time I took my puppy there and as all puppies are, she was hyper. The vet was very rough with her to make her settle down which I was already trying to do. The vet they had in the past cost my dog her life. How? I took my dog in and explained to her that my dog the night before, had all of a sudden become comatose. Not answering to us calling her name. also not reacting to outside stimuli. The vet ran some blood work and said it was abnormal but nothing serious. She said the dog was probably like that from anxiety ( it was the new year holiday), My dog ended up dying soon afterwards, due to a major stroke who left her clinically brain dead. It could have been prevented I was told by the vet with a simple medication. If you value your pet's life, I recommend Dr Campos at San Francis Animal Hospital.

Do not ever go to VCA Little Animal Hospital in New Port Richey.The new rescue kitten had probs yes this I know but upon leaving there she was a still lifeless corpse w/shallow breathing & a bull excuse from a temporary doc that was there.What bs? Then having the audacity to charge me for her death, when she went in there full of life.Complete bullsWe are so sad.

I would only go to this hospital if it was the only one open and my dog's life did not depend on it. What could have been prevented for my dog was misdiagnosed and my dog died a a month later. Vet should have known better. Other vets I spoke to also agreed with me. My dog lost her life because when she went there she was diagnosed with anxiety but had a stroke instead. She died of a massive one soon after. Makes me so angry to think about it. Not the only one who lost a dog to something preventable either. Stay Away.
