Furry Friends Veterinary Center

Absolutely the best in Pinellas county/ Florida. I have been taking all my babies to Furry Friends for a few years and they are absolutely Incredible! Dr Maedel and Dr Volkers are so kind, caring and honest and truly go above and beyond to help and give the best care! All of the employees especially Nicole are so sweet and always welcoming and remember me and my beagles. Thank you for all you do!

My cat Molly and I would like to say thank you for taking such good care of Molly. I was nervous taking her to her first visit and didn’t know what to expect. I was amazed at the patience and adoration they showed Molly. Dr. Maedel got right on the floor and won Molly over. I feel like my cat is a celebrity when I go there. Shout out to Nicole and KAYLA, You ladies rock and Molly loves you!

There is not a better Vet practice that has ever cared for our dogs. The owner, Dr. Maedel, is the best in the business. She not only cares about her patients but also about the owners as well. We’ve been going to Furry Friends since they opened the practice. On days when Dr Maedel is not in she has like minded Vets caring for her patients. We had to bring our 9 year old pup in yesterday and met Dr Volker who was just as kind and caring. The Vet Tech, Alex, who was new to us, seems to have the same philosophy as the rest of the current staff which seems to be promote calmness and give the best care possible. The turnover in this practice is nonexistent and I think that is a testament to the way Dr Maedel and her husband, Andrew, run their practice. We are all lucky to have this practice in Pinellas County.

I needed to find a new vet after my former veterinarian was bought out by a large corporation, and I’m so glad I chose Furry Friends. The facilities are clean and modern, and every visit I’ve been taken straight back to a room, which makes a huge difference when you have a stressed-out kitty. The staff is consistently friendly, professional, and kind. My cat needed fairly extensive dental work that I was initially hesitant about, but Nicole took a lot of time to walk me through the procedure and reassure me. Everything went smoothly, and I received email updates and photos the day of surgery, which I really appreciated. My little guy is doing so much better now. Dr. Maedel has wonderful bedside manner, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves what she does. Thank you for taking such great care of my cats.

If there were Oscars for canine drama, my dog would’ve swept the awards — but thankfully, Dr. Mary and Nikki were there to remind us this was less Grey’s Anatomy and more Overly Dramatic French Bulldog Diva: The Musical. We rushed in convinced my pup was on the brink of disaster (cue the slow sad violin music), but within minutes, Dr. Mary had calmly diagnosed the situation as… pure theatrics with a minor cut and infection between her paws. The entire team handled my melodramatic fur baby with patience, humor, and genuine care while also keeping me (a very concerned stage mom) calm and laughing. By the time we left, my dog was wagging happily, soaking up sympathy treats, and probably planning her next performance. 10/10 would recommend — especially if your pet has a flair for the dramatic!
