We will open at 8 am tomorrow morning. The roof of our building experienced significant damage and as a result our office had a significant amount of water intrusion from the ceiling. Please excuse the appearance of our office as we proceed with repairs.

10/10/2024

Our office will remain closed at this time as our staff and doctors assess the damage both at home and the office. Our office thankfully still has power but we are without water for the time being. We will keep you posted as the week goes on. If your pet needs veterinary care please call the Veterinary Medical Center at LWR for emergency needs. Please be careful during the cleanup phase of this storm as down debris and standing water can pose threats to our pets.

10/07/2024

We will be closed as hurricane Milton moves past Florida. When it is safe to do so we will open but we sincerely hope all of our clients and patients are seeking a safe place for this storm. Veterinary Medical Center at LWR will be staying open for emergencies and we thank their doctors and staff for providing this service. Stay safe Sarasota!

09/27/2024

Just a reminder, please do not let your pets walk or swim in the standing water left behind by the storm.

09/27/2024

We are up and running here and open our normal business hours today. We were lucky here at the office but we know that many in our area experienced significantly flooding. If you need any help please do not hesitate to call the office. Stay safe Sarasota.

09/25/2024

We will be closed tomorrow as Hurricane Helene passes by our area. If your pet has an emergency Veterinary Medical Center at LWR will be staying open as long as it is safe to do so. Stay safe Sarasota!
