This page is a bit different than the rest of our directory because we are going to only list vets recommened by our readers. See below to learn how you can recommend your own vet; we have criteria, so please make sure your vet meets them. If you are seeking a vet, please remember these are other people's experiences and you are responsible for doing your own independent investigation of the vets and/or facilities.

Hollywood Animal Hospital

This veterinary hospital cared for one of our users' dogs, the victim of a hit and run. She told us this animal hospital has a 24-hour ER, a facility for procedures and a separate building for routine veterinary care. Our reader said the doctors and techs who worked with her dog were "absolutely wonderful."

If you know of any quality Florida veterinarians with Web sites, please contact FloridaPets.net.

NOTE: An important criteria for being included on FloridaPets.net is that we will NOT list ANY veterinarian who does not provide emergency care for animals or at least arrange for coverage of his practice by a trusted colleague when he/she must be away from the phone or out of town.

What is the point of having a veterinarian who routinely sees your animal but, in case of emergencies, after hours, weekends or holidays, passes you off to a "central emergency clinic" 20 miles or more away from your home that has NO information on your pet and wastes valuable time trying to piece together the animal's medical history?

Veterinary medicine is one of those professions where responsibility to clients cannot end on Fridays at 5 p.m. Vets certainly have a right to time off, but consumers of veterinary medical services have every right to expect timely, quality care when they need it. Trading coverage with other vets and giving them access to patient records is an acceptable solution to both issues.
