Brandon Lakes Animal Hospital

I want to say to the staff here and Dr. Ramirez and Anya thank you from the bottom of my heart for the comfort and the patience you held for me and my baby as I had to say goodbye for the last time, I knew he was in good hands and it’s a blessing the amount of compassion they carried for me and my fur baby. They sent me a card I got today and my heart just sank the whole staff signed it, that honestly meant so much. They are legitimately all so caring and are in the right field, holding space for fur babies and their owners I’ve heard is rare. I can’t say thank you all enough 🙏

I cannot recommend Dr. Haire enough! From the moment all of my furbabies and I met her 6 years ago, she was incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. She took the time to really listen to my concerns, explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, and never once made me feel rushed. You can tell Dr. Haire truly cares about her patients and their families. She treated my dog Bear this week with such gentleness and compassion, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. Her knowledge and professionalism are unmatched, but it’s her genuine heart that really sets her apart.❤️ If you’re looking for a vet who will treat your pet like her own, Dr. Haire is the one. We are so grateful to have found her! 🐾

On Christmas Eve while bathing our Golden Retriever. Marley. I found a a golfball size mass that wasn't there a month prior. I flew into a panic and called her vet Brandon Lakes Animal Hospital and they scheduled her in although they were closing early. Marley loves to go there because everyone is so sweet and gentle. On her appointment they did a FNA and after that they decided to drain what thankfully was a harmless abcess. She was sent home with all her Antibiotics and pain killers. She's happy and playful and I can tell you I would never trust my pets Healthcare to anyone else. Thankful.

So from transition of being a New vet to a dog for only two months of their remaining life to transition to a new addition two weeks after the passing of previous pet, these folks have been amazing! Let me start out with my beautiful Cassie, Who? passed recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I was with another veterinarian for a very long time, 10 years and the transition of that place was so terrible I decided to search out for a new vet. They proved their knowledge immediately and treated me as a valued customer right away! Sadly, two months later, Cassie needed to cross the bridge and the support from them was nothing but amazing! They took great care of her even all the way up until we received her ashes, returned to us along with a few memorial items! They made such a valuable impression upon me during those two months that when I adopted a new one from the Miami Dade Animal Services, it was open arms immediately. And of course, obviously, they were very mindful of the fact that we did just have a tragedy with loss and grief. The first photo is of Cassie, her last photo before crossing, and the second photo is of Callie, Cassie‘s successor. I’m very picky when it comes to the care of my animals, and when it comes to the options that are out there to take care of them. Along with convenience. Between the caring for the animals and the hours that they are available along with response time to questions and concerns, I recommend them - especially Dr. Taggert.

Dr. Rodriguez and the team at BLAH are the sole reason that our dog Nova is still alive. Out of nowhere she started acting extremely weird and we took her to an ER. We found out she was in Stage 3 kidney failure. We did outpatient fluids for 2 days. Then took her to BLAH as they were our primary doctor for her, but couldn’t fit us in at the time. Her first day of tests came back worse than before we started fluids. The entire team at Brandon Lakes animal Hospital knows our dog as we used to board her there. Dr. Rodriguez said that he recommended nova be monitored and get constant fluids instead of outpatient. We told him that we will do everything we can, but Price is a huge factor as we have a lot as a family going on aside from this catastrophe. For the first day, they used the Angel fund which took out 50% of our bill the next day we came back nova‘s vitals got better. That gave everybody hope. We picked nova up that night. Brought her home. Brought her back the next day at 7 AM. She got another full day of fluids and being monitored. Dr. Rodriguez in the team that everything they can to help us out mentally, emotionally, and financially. After a very hellacious week, Nova‘s levels have leveled out to where they belong. There is still kidney damage, but she is no longer near critical condition. Our dog is back to where she belongs, which is alive and with our family of four. We cannot thank Dr. Rodriguez and his peers Enough for everything they have done for us and our dog.
