Haines City Pet Hospital

Great vet services. We have taken out cats and dogs there for 10 years-​although I believe the current owners took over about 5 or 6 years ago maybe. The current vet and staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable and actually have affordable prices. The other vet hospital near Haines city pet hospital is much more costly and not worth it to me. The office at HC pet hospital isn’t beautiful but they do good work and that’s what matters.

First off, let me talk about our experience with two brand new puppies at the local pet box store’s pet clinic as compared to Haines City Pet Hospital. Those of you who shop pet box stores with your pets know which box has the pet clinics inside I’m sure. Let’s just say that they have a funny way of doing things because we took our two brand new adopted pups there for a «free» health checkup and they proceeded to present us with a potential $ 500 bill for things we didn’t need if we decided to move forward with them… We were worried about their health because they said one has an ear infection, the other might have parvo or Giardia. They even wanted to charge an extra «al a carte» fee for the «feces collection» required for the parvo test in addition to the parvo test fee!
Well, we came right back home and found
and realized Dr. Adkins and Dr. Christmann had a hospital right in Haines City (among others in the area) only 20 minutes away from our house and was able to line up an appointment just 2 days later with Dr. Norbert Christmann. We found out that not only were our puppies very likely healthy, they just had worms like most other puppies. We also found out that the puppy with an «ear infection» just had some dirty ears and they weren’t quite in ‘infection’ mode yet. Needless to say we were very happy to hear this not to mention the fact that antibiotics would have been over prescribed and we would like to avoid our new pups from getting antibiotics unnecessarily. Now, here’s the best part… The pups get a first exam free at the Haines City Clinic too, and so we didn’t use that up, Lia at the front desk let us pay ahead for their booster shots which they did not need for another week from the appointment! That way, we didn’t have to burn the special free exam and then come back and pay again for an exam plus vaccines! Lia was totally awesome, very personable as was the vet tech and Dr. Christmann happily answered all of my wife’s thousand questions. We could tell he loves animals and even gave our little girl Aussie puppy a kiss, which I simply haven’t seen a vet do in ages! I thought it was amazingly cool. While we were waiting we observed the vet would even go out to the pet owners car to administer treatment for nervous or large pets to induce less stress for the animal (and likely owner too).
So, we spent about 45 minutes with the Dr. on a FREE exam, got medicine for our girl puppies belly because she had some irritation, they took care of us and gave us new puppy packs since they had some left with a complimentary trial of advantage II AND to top it off when we got home we found the medicine slightly cheaper on the Internet and they offered to match it! We spent only $ 68 for BOTH puppies, when the box clinic wanted $ 500 just to run some tests WITHOUT including the regular vaccinations.
We plan to return to get microchips which are only $ 25 a puppy with no office visit charge too! Clinics like this understand that taking care of an animal shouldn’t cost as much (sometimes more) as taking care of a human! They get the big picture that in the long run it is better for EVERYONE, of course most importantly the pets. They make it affordable so that it’s not such a huge economic decision in your household when deciding whether to get expert medical help for your animals, vaccinations and keeping them healthy and safe overall. Their services are much more reasonable compared to most veterinary hospitals and their care is second to none. Paraphrasing another positive reviewer «Who cares if the clinic is with humble settings» if the service is good and economical, when evaluating service
over interior décor. The savings can be celebrated at a fancy restaurant where atmosphere may be more important or simply to utilize the extra budget for a microchip for your pet or owner necessities like groceries.
We applaud Drs. Adkins and Christman and their affiliates for understanding that new pet owners not only want to avoid putting their already stressed animals through unnecessary tests and additional strain, but making sure our pets get the best care at the lowest prices possible for everyone! We’ll be bringing our pets here from now on thanks to our fortunate find and positive experience!!!
