We, too, have a dog that requires emergency treatment now and then, so we did a lot of research before deciding on a vet. We chose Country Oaks Veterinary Clinic because they have emergency after-hours treatment. My understanding is that no other clinics close by will treat after-hours and instead refer their patients to the closest emergency vet clinic in Leesburg. They are also AAHA accredited. They have state-of-the-art equipment including an ultrasound.
We took a tour of the place before making our decision. After our initial visit, a time came when it was necessary to administer fluids to our dog, and since we have that experience, the staff sold us the necessary items rather than hospitalize our dog. We were very pleased with their flexibility. Also, were very impressed with the vet we saw, Dr. Augenstein, who is a Villages resident. He is very conservative with treatment, which we prefer. Sometimes "less is more" when it comes to medical care.
Those are our first impressions, but as we are new residents here for only a few months, maybe someone else on TOTV has a better recommendation.
Country Oaks Veterinary Clinic is located at 13938 S. Hwy 441 in Summerfield. Phone: 352-821-2912 for Lake County and for Marion County: 352-347-7387.
