    My pup Abbi came down with my parents for the winter and needed care asap. When calling for an appointment they were so sweet and scheduled her promptly for an appointment. When arriving at the appointment Abbi was extremely nervous being a previous rescue before we adopted her. Angela and the other front desk girl (horrible at names) was so kind and offered her a treat and got her to a room quickly to help calm her nerves. Dr. Nicholson thoroughly examined Abbi for any possible issues and had fantastic bed-side manner. You could tell she truly loves animals and her career. Her tech was awesome as well and so good with Abbi. We had saw another vet with her prior who didn’t know what it was and sent us on our way but Dr. Nicholson gave her the RX needed and scheduled for her surgery right away. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable vet!

    This place has been the most kindest place I’ve ever been to. We went for 3 visits and they went all so smoothly. Every single employee were genuinely sweet. They took care of my bunny, he had an eye infection and they were making sure in each visit, that his eye was recovering. They took care of rainbow (my bun) with so much love and everyone adored him. The vets answered every single question and concerns I had, reassuring me that my bun will get better, which he has! Thanks to this place, my buns eye is now better! I’ll come back one day if it’s needed. Everyone should come here, such sweet people here! Here are my buns, rainbow and a new member of the family, Iris! Her first name was Easter but I changed it to something meaningful. She’s doing well with me, I’m making sure Iris gets all the love in the world. Thank you to everyone who works there, all of you are hard workers!!:)

    Found this place on Google. Reviews were excellent so I tried them out. My dog (Dallas) needed surgery. So when I first went there they gave me an estimate for the surgery which was reasonable. Day of the surgery after everything went really good I went to pay and it’s a lot cheaper I mean a lot cheaper than what was estimated. They are very knowledgeable quick fast and my dog is recovering beautifully. I will be coming back here and bringing my other dogs now, thank you.

    Love the doctors who take care of our fur babies, Chungus and Cinnamon. Everyone who I have interacted with at the office are kind, patient, and very helpful. My questions have been answered to the fullest degree. And I am recommending Small Animal Hospital to everyone I know to take their fur babies here.

    Thank you to all the staff from the receptionist to check out! I am a nervous new dog mom and I was worried about our first appointment but Small Animal Hospital was friendly and made us feel welcomed and included in all of my pup's health decisions. The facility was clean, I did not feel rushed, and each person was smiling and sincerely happy. My (nervous nelly) puppy felt comfortable and by the end she didn't want to leave. We received a quick response regarding lab results and had our dog's medication in less than 24 hours later. Thank you for being quick, happy, and comforting- my puppy and I noticed your exceptional care!

    I was referred to Small Animal Hospital about nine months ago. Since then my dog Murphy has visited many times for various reasons. Dr. Dupree is the best and I can't say enough about the techs and support staff. They are outstanding! I wouldn't take Murphy anywhere else.

    Went to this clinic for the first time today. I'm so happy I found them. Everyone person I encountered was kind and helpful. I had trouble getting my cat to my car and it was done for me. I never felt rushed and all my questions were answered. Dr. Nicholson was professional but approachable. She took good care of my cat. This is my new vet clinic and I highly recommend them.

    Decided to go to this vet we are new to this area. We were very happy with them. Girls at the front desk are all so nice and also the technicians. We seen two vets and both were excellent, very knowledgeable and took there time to explain what was wrong with our dogs. We will continue to use them because we think that they are great and so does my doggies.😊

    We've had great experiences with both Dr. Dupre and Dr. Nicholson with all three of our babies. They know their names, and when one passed over the rainbow bridge last fall, they were incredibly kind while I was a wreck. I often email to scheduled appointments and check on records, which is the best way to communicate for me during the work day. They are not the least expensive out there, but the service is wonderful!

    Everyone at small animal hospital were very friendly and helpful. Got us in quickly for a mild emergency. Took wonderful care of our pet Ernie.

  • 5/5 Diana V. 1 year ago on Google
    Small Animal Hospital is a great place to take your pets for care. The whole staff is caring. Dr. Nicholson and Nancy are great! Easy to set-up appointments and callbacks are great. Small Animal Hospital is the best in Fort Myers, Florida.

  • 5/5 jose r. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful team, the ladies at the reception attended us quickly without an appointment, Doctor Dupre was super attentive in attending to our dog, taking extra time out of his schedule to be able to operate quickly and introduced us to David for help us with the translation. Without words to be able to catalog all his help, and professionalism. Thank you very much to their entire team for the prompt response and kindness, including the lady of cleaning. For making us feel so comforted and calm when caring for our Nube, from now on it will be our main clinic.

  • 5/5 Mitchell M. 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful experience! Everyone who works here exudes the same love you feel for your pets. We will never need another vet since we found this treasure! Dr. Nicholson is the most caring & experienced vet we have had the pleasure of meeting. We recommend her to all pet owners in the Fort Myers area.

  • 5/5 Suné V. 1 year ago on Google
    This pet hospital was one of the best places I’ve ever been to. Very friendly and compassionate and knew what was wrong with my cat right away. They gave me options for treatment and further assessments for a more defined diagnosis. I am considering making them my primary☺️Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Joan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Just got off the phone with an amazing receptionist! She sat with me while adding my pets and scheduling them through out next year to be sure everyone got in. Amazing job. Mind you that's 12 appointments for 11 pets.

    Our little Guinea pig unfortunately did not make it but at no fault to this vet. They went above and beyond to help our little baby. Dr dupre even gave us his personal number so we could call with any questions. Really there was no measures he would not take to give our little pig the best chance she could to live. The kindness this doctor has shown us was unbelievable. Definitely not about the money he has a true passion and love for animals...even the little ones❤️

    I had my first experience at this clinic this week and was very impressed by the care! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the questions I had about my dog! My dog also felt very comfortable and not nervous at all due to how great the staff was! I will definitely continue coming here and trusting them with any of my dogs needs!

    they always take the best care of my cats, the only people i trust to keep them healthy and up to date with vaccinations!!

  • 1/5 Donna M. 5 months ago on Google
    Dr. William Smaller killed my baby. He overdosed him on antibiotics for an UTI. Dr. Smaller prescribed 42 days of Clavamox 375 mg. That is the dose for a 60 lb dog not a 26 lb Boston Terrier. The state licensing Bureau told me it was “Gross Negligence “! I have never received a phone call or letter from Dr. Smaller or the Corporation American Veterinary Group who owns the business to express their condolences. In fact, they will not talk to me. They did refund my money which a lawyer told me was admitting guilt. BEWARE!! Do not go to this place if Dr. William Smaller is on duty if you love your animal!!! Also know that this business is owned by a corporation that does not care about your animal! They are there to make money! They are out of Tampa! It is no longer a place owned by a caring veterinarian like it was a few years ago before it was bought by that big corporation!!!

  • 5/5 Gavin R. 6 months ago on Google
    I am very happy with my experience at this clinic! My dog is always so happy to see the staff and they always make her comfortable! I appreciate the consistent care all the staff at small animal hospital provides!

  • 5/5 Thomas S. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was great. Friendly people and doctor.Please ask for cost prior to having work done. I did not and was shocked by big bill. But they were able to adjust things in a kind and friendly manner. Thank you for taking great care of our dog.

  • 5/5 Michelle 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking for a veterinarian and a clinic that treats your pet like their own, Small Animal Hospital is the place to go. The entire staff is so welcoming, compassionate and understanding of your pet's needs. They go above and beyond to make sure your questions are addressed. I always feel like my pup is great hands when he visits!

  • 5/5 Mike H. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best vet I've ever had. Everyone there truly cares about their patients. Dr. Duprey takes the time to talk with you, empathize and makes sure you understand everything that is going on with your pet. They have saved my pets lives, corrected wrong and dangerous minsdiagnosises from other vets and helped with special homemade diets.

  • 5/5 Amber C. 2 years ago on Google
    I recently brought my 13 year old chihuahua in with an ongoing nasal problem she was having. We were in the market for a new vet, so I came across Small Animal Hospital while searching for the best and most affordable in the area. They got us in within hours of calling to make an appointment, which is completely uncommon in this area, as I’ve always been told from other vets that appointments are booked weeks out. We were brought straight back upon arrival, and the nurse, followed by Dr. Dupre were there checking out my dog within minutes! I’ve never experienced such a wonderful, caring staff in any establishment in my entire life. Turns out my dog needed teeth extracted in order to rid of the nasal issue. Again, Small Animal Hospital lined up the appointment right away, got her in, and extracted the problematic teeth, and at a VERY affordable cost!! All of this happening right around the holidays would have normally been overwhelming and stressful, but this office, staff, and Dr. Dupre made it all work out, and we’re all extremely happy with the outcome! Our dog is in great shape now thanks to all of them! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, and will continue to go here for as long as we have pets.

  • 5/5 Carole R. 2 years ago on Google
    Once again, I’m amazed at the level of care this veterinary hospital offers. The entire staff is wonderful and today, Judy went out of her way to recommend ideas to encourage Jasmine to eat. Went home and gave her the cooked potato and cottage cheese….Jasmine loved it!! Thanks again, Judy!

  • 5/5 Lynne L. 2 years ago on Google
    We winter in Fort Myers and the Small Animal Hospital was recommended to us by folks in our RV resort and we were NOT disappointed. Our cat had to have emergency surgery and we felt 100% comfortable with leaving her in their hands. Dr. Dupree was fantastic as well as all the staff. I feel blessed for this to have been a great experience for us and very successful for our cat! Thank you to all at Small Animal Hospital😊

  • 5/5 Shelly B. 2 years ago on Google
    I have a tiny 4.5 pound chihuahua who has epilepsy so I was terrified to have a much needed dental on him. After getting an estimate for almost 1,000.00 from another hospital I called for a second opinion. Judy took time to explain the entire estimate, compare it to their process and even figured out what untypical charges were by asking her vets. She eased my mind so much I decided to have small animal hospital do the dental. The process was great! She was even kind enough to send me a quick photo of my baby in recovery. He lost 6 little choppers from his overcrowded tiny mouth and his teeth are pearly white!!!!! His kisses don’t stink at all anymore and I guess we will have to find a new nick name because stink face doesn’t suit him anymore! If you have any hesitation about a dental like I did.... just do it! Dr Dupre performed the dental flawlessly and Judy and the rest of the front office were great! The cost was half of my previous estimate. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jodi S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best veterinary clinic I have ever been too. The doctor takes so much time to explain what is going on with your animal and sincerely cares about their overall health. The ladies up front are so friendly and work hard to get you in when your fur baby is ill. I also love they always follow up the next day to check on your animal to ensure they are improving. I would highly recommend them for their knowledge and based upon how they treat you and your pet like you are part of their family.

  • 5/5 Annie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr. DuPre and his staff are the best. He is super reliable, caring & helpful!

  • 5/5 G H. 2 years ago on Google
    They always care so much about our fur babies, I've been going here for two years and this is the BEST vet

  • 5/5 Teri I. 2 years ago on Google
    I brought my senior dog here for a check up and to receive vaccinations that were due. My dog is terrified of every vet he has ever met. Dr. Nicholson did everything she could to make him more comfortable. The bacon bribes were perfect, even if not fully successful. We have visited this clinic twice and the staff and physicians have been wonderful. During my last visit the office had just lost power. Their lights had come back on but their computers, air conditioning and phones weren't working. They still managed to be very professional and helpful. I highly recommend you trust this clinic with your pets.

  • 5/5 Dawn J. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place and so does our new furry child. They are so helpful. All my pets go there. So you soon for Lucy's next check up and Biscuit and Muffins nail trim.

  • 5/5 Robin 2 years ago on Google
    Dr. Nicholson was my veterinarian for multiple dogs (7)and cats (2) for over 15 years first as a home care vet and then as a vet at Small Animal Hospital. I have had chows for 30 years and rescued them for over 20 years and have had a lot of dogs and some who were difficult with strangers or the vet. During that time, I have had experience with many different small animal veterinarians and I can truly say she stands out as the best small animal vet I have used. She is kind, caring, competent, professional and respectful to the pets and the pet owner. I cannot say enough good things about her. I have also had very good experiences with the Dr. Dupre and all the Small Animal Hospital Staff. I recommend Small Animal Hospital when anyone is looking for great care of their pets.
