★★★★★ The best, kindest staff!! They’re always have availability!Emily C. ★★★★★ Taco is such a princess at home and pretty much thinks she runs the show. It’s so reassuring seeing someone else that treats Taco like the princess she thinks she is. Saltwater animal Hospital has an amazing crew from reception to Doctor they put you at ease and treat your fur baby like royalty .Cindy B. ★★★★★ Our pet doctor was extremely knowledgeable and appeared to have a hands-on approach.Dr. M. ★★★★★ Saltwater is so accommodating. Their no problem pressure approach doesn’t feel like sales, they educate me and let me my the decision on what the best treatment option for my pets is.ashley A. ★★★★★ I’ve been there multiple times with my dog Aro just scheduled appointments and they’ve treated Aro and I amazing. Definitely got a permanent hospital for the rest of my buddies life.Carlos C ★★★★★ My first experience with Saltwater was a walk in urgent appointment after my dog attacked my kitty. Was an amazing facility! Everyone was so nice and professional! 10/10 would highly recommend 😊erin E. ★★★★★ Nothing short of spectacular. My cat needed tooth surgery. I called around and no one had any emergency openings. They took him in same day for a checkup. My cat was in rough shape and is 16 years old so I was very worried.They were professional, scheduled a time for surgery quick and gave me a discount for scheduling while I was there. During surgery they found more issues with teeth which I expected and they told me that might happen. 11 teeth pulled out. The cost for surgery was within the quote that they gave me even though it was much more extensive than originally thought.They told me how he would be in rough shape when I got him back but he was great! He was hungry, thirsty, moving around and non stop purring. From the moment I got him home he was in great shape, better than he was before surgery and continues to get better. These people just may have given my cat a few more years to be with me.I am shocked with how well my cat did which I believe reflects on the surgical skills from the people at this clinic. I will always be great full with the job they did. I highly recommend these people for your pet. If staff is reading this, thank you!!Chad F. ★★★★★ Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. They took amazing care of our furbabyMarilu Hwang (. ★★★★★ Saltwater Animal Hospital has the most compassionate staff from the Front Line to the Veterinary Staff. They are very understanding of the obstacles both financially and physically of getting my cat to the clinic. They will even bring her back n forth to my car which is a blessing for me. It’s like “kitty valet”. Kaitlyn VA and Dr Aubrey DeHart are both very knowledgeable and efficient in their roles. Such a great team effort to provide care and resolve urinary issues with my kitty who has been struggling off n on for the last few months. I would highly recommend them for veterinary care!Linda H. ★★★★★ The Dr. and her helpers were all very helpful as well as understanding my new fur baby. He's a poodle/terrier mix that's been left alone for many hours per day because of previous owner's work, he only saw the owner's family members for visits. As a result, he barks almost incessantly when around people or other pets . He's quiet and well behaved with me although clingy. I will continue to take Tayo to this facility because I was treated well with kindness and understanding. I'm truly grateful for their help.Terry Lou P. ★★★★★ Caring staff and doctors!Mistie M. ★★★★★ Loved how prompt, professional, friendly, informative and helpful the whole staff were. I felt comfortable being there. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know who has pets(family members).Rashida B. ★★★★★ This place is pretty sick, they got dogs n stuffM W ★★★★★ We really appreciate the care and understanding of our decision of the passing of our beautiful sweet Ruby. We were comforted with an ending of life room set up as a living room and spent as much time as we needed on a comfortable couch. Our Ruby crossed over peacefully with no trauma. Everyone was very consoling and we received a sympathy card signed by the staff there. It was an extremely tough decision for us and we knew her quality life was deteriorating, the staff and doctor really listened to us and supported our decision. Thank you!Laura C. ★★★★★ I had a pet emergency and they got me in the same day. Everyone from the front desk staff to the techs to the doctors were super friendly and caring.

Dr. Deal is our vet there; she is caring and really takes her time to learn about your animals and how everyone is doing. The staff is kind, courteous and happy to be there. This was my first visit-the front desk knew everyone who walked in, welcomed everyone and fussed over the pets and their owners. The office is bright, peaceful and welcoming. I love it here!Dorothy D. ★★★★★ They were extremely polite, soft spoken and professional when I went with a friend to help her say goodbye to her four legged fur baby. It was a said time and they were extremely professional about it. They explained everything to the fullest without going overboard. They gave you time alone with your family to say goodbyes. They didn't rush anything. They kept the blankets and belongings left behind, washed them and gave them back if requested. The urn packages were amazingly respectfully and beautifully put together. Complete with a paw print, nose print, condolences card, urn, a beautiful velvet style bag inside a matching gift style bag. The establishment was very clean, obviously newly constructed, or at least recently updated with today's modern contemporary style and the rooms were very spacious. You couldn't hear other animals, at least while we were there.... Overall it was the best experience you could have, considering.Pat W. ★★★★★ I have an extremely difficult semi feral cat who I love very much. They were so professional and gentle with her even though she so violent the first visit they couldn't sedate her. They were helpful and understanding. They are not on the lower end of the bill scale, but for me it's 100% worth it.Rachele W. ★★★★★ We had a great experience getting care for our big dog Buddy. The staff were able to take him same day when our primary vet wasn’t able to, and Dr. Arce was wonderful. Very knowledgeable, clear, and helpful. She was great with Buddy too. We really liked our experience there and now have a great second option where we know Buddy will get great care.Jenna M. ★★★★★ I just had my first vet appointment with my new kitten at Saltwater, and it was such a relief knowing I had found a clinic for my fur babe that checks all the boxes. ✔️Clean ✔️Calm environment ✔️ knowledgeable and kind staff ✔️reasonable rates. These professionals LOVE animals and you really get the sense that they genuinely care.From the moment I was greeted by the warm front desk staff and checked into our spacious patient room, I knew this place was different. If you are a cat owner, you know how stressful it can be for your feline friend to be in a waiting area with dogs and other cats. Having our own private room eliminated a lot of that anxiety for my kitty. During my cat’s consultation, she was given lots of treats and handled with great care and attention to help ease her anxiety. Thanks for exceeding my expectations! I’ll definitely bring all my pets to your clinic and spread the good word!claudia N. ★★★★★ Dr. Humphrey and her staff are amazing! They kept my little one calm through the examination, inoculations and blood work. I'm grateful I chose this clinic for my pet's care. They even sent an email today following up on my Lil' Bit and how she was doing. Top notch careBarb M. ★★★★★ They are the Best!Rich C. ★★★★★ We were able to get in the same day and received exceptional care for our dog. The Dr spent time explaining treatment options and helped make decisions on next steps. This will be our clinic of choice going forward!Emily E. ★★★★★ Each time we take one of our pets to Saltwater Vet we are highly satisfied. The doctors and assistants are pleasant and very informative. They make us feel that we are very special and they take their time answering questions. We leave on a positive note every time.Teresa C. ★★★★☆ I took my cat to have her nails trimmed. My baby is beautiful and very lovable. The doctor who saw her told me several things that could be a problem. Her weight was the Doc's main issue. She got her nails trimmedand we left.They are good as any other Vet but my cat is perfectly fine. But they won't say that! No money to be made, then.Maureen
