Looking for a Vet for a dog, routine visits for vaccinations and check ups. I do not need any opinions or lectures on vaccinations or anything else that has to do with the vet. Just looking for names of veterinarians that you’ve dealt with that are fairly priced, competent and are accepting new patients Thank you.

Mulberry Animal Hospital. All vets there have been good but so far we've had only routine care and one small tumor removed from gum. We have a 10 year old Golden Retreiver.

A woman brings her dog into the vet's office and says, "Doc, I think my dog is dead."
The veterinarian gently lays the dog on the exam table, walks over, and brings out a cat in a box. The cat walks all over the dog, sniffs him from head to toe, and the dog doesn’t move a single muscle.
The vet turns to the woman and says, "Yes, ma'am, I'm sorry. Your dog is dead."
The woman is devastated and asks, "How much do I owe you?"
The vet replies, "$345."
"$345!?" the woman gasps. "For just telling me that?"
"Yes," the vet says calmly. "$45 for the office visit, and $300 for the cat scan."

I hve been going to Country Oaks Vet. for about 14 years. It's a little ride near White's furniture but I love Dr. Ramirez.

Sorry about the lack of help here! Usually recommendations come pouring in.


You don't say what area you live in, and that would be helpful since TV is very large now. But for starters, a reasonably priced vet who is about in the middle of TV is Dr. Porter in Wildwood in the 301 area. Everyone I know who uses him loves him.

• Dr. Timothy Porter, DVM — Animal Care Center of Wildwood [1, 2]
  
• Address: 411 Webster St (also referenced as 354 Shopping Center Dr), Wildwood, FL 34785 [1, 2]
  
• Phone Number: (352) 748-6348 [1]
  
• Hours:
  • Monday–Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Thursday–Friday: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
  • Saturday–Sunday: Closed [1]
  
  
• Website / Social Media: Animal Care Center of Wildwood or via Animal Care Center of Wildwood on Facebook [1, 2]

I think he has certain walk-in hours every day as well.


I use Candace Manganaro of Park Heights Animal Care in Leesburg (on 441). She brought my golden through many mysterious illnesses and got him ready to fly to Europe several times. The practice was bought by a national corporation, and I'm not crazy about that (prices raised, have to use their pharmacy unless you get prescriptions and deliver them yourself to places like Chewy), but I still use her for her expertise plus I really like her! The other two female vets there are good too. And they work closely with UF and get push notifications if ever your pet is at the emergency vet.


I hope you will get more recommendations from people in your area. Do say where you are. Good luck, and welcome.

Dr. Porter is a nice guy and a good vet but that place is disgustingly filthy.

When was the last time you were there? He moved between late 2025 and 2026. Now at 411 Webster. No longer at Shopping Center Drive. I have not heard anything one way or the other about his office cleanliness. I will ask my friends who use him about the office condition.

We have used Dr. Porter for many years for our cats, but I see more dogs there than cats, as for cleanliness, I have never seen any problems in all of our visits. He does charge an additional fee for walk-ins, so, if possible, you want to make an appointment.

We use Dr. Amy Huff at the Animal Clinic of Leesburg. She has been great with our dog and her staff is friendly and professional. Good luck.
