It's taken me 2 months to write this but the people in Zephyrhills are so lucky to have this clinic. I lost my 15 year old golden Jake when I was in Florida Dr. D'asti was so good and the staff Michelle and others treated my wife and I so well to make a bad time as good as possible for us. Thank all of you so much

I brought my almost 15 yr old dog in for a quality of life visit. It was very short notice but Amy was able to get me in. My dog had kidney failure, wasn't eating, could barely walk and wouldn't sleep through the night. Her previous vet said she still had a quality of life, really? I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. I received the utmost compassion, love and care for my dog. I held her in my loving arms and held her tight until she took her last breath.

The vet techs (sorry I don't remember you name) and Dr. Jay felt my pain and offered words of kindness and sincerity. It's still raw knowing she's gone. But I couldn't be happier with their care and compassion we both received. Thank you all so much for making the unbearable a little easier.
