I really love Dr. Valdez in Fruitland Park (Park Heights Veterinarian on 441 by Nearlee New Furniture). He doesn't over-test and does his best to stay within your budget, plus he and his staff obviously love animals and treat all critters as if they were their own. He doesn't hesitate to refer an animal to Gainesville if he feels they can treat better than he. His front office looks pretty dated but the clinic part is very up-to-date with modern diagnostic and treatment equipment.

I hate boarding pets. It causes way too much stress in most of them. If you want to have someone keep your dog in their home, I highly recommend Yvonne Paradis. She loves the dogs she keeps as much as her own and spoils all of them rotten.

You can do a search here and find the phone numbers for both of them. (Sorry, don't have the numbers handy.)
