Hi Moms! I need your advice yet again. I took my Boxer to the Vet today and left with a bill of $350 and was told that my dog needs to have minor surgery on his gums and needs his teeth cleaned. I agree with the teeth cleaning; however, I want to get a second opinion on the surgery. I have been going to this Vet for about 8 months now but I am not certain that he is the right one...just a feeling I have....just a hunch.

I can always count on the Mamasource Moms and their advice. Who do you recommend in the Brandon area and what has been your experience?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thank you immensely for ALL of your recommendations. I went around town and interviewed a few of the vets you recommended and I ended up going with the Santa Cruz as I felt extremely comfortable and they seemed very knowledgeable and caring about my Boxer. Some of the other vets wanted to charge me for an interview and I determined that they were not for us. I treated this experience like daycare search for my child so I could not afford to interview all of the vets that wanted to charge me for a quick interview. Thanks again!!!!!!!

Hi A.,

We have lived in this area for 6 yrs and found a great vets office in Brandon. The name of them is Santa Cruz Animal Clinic. They are just North of SR60 between Parsons and Lakewood. I think it is Lakewood not really positive but their number is ###-###-####. They have been great with All our animals. Not sure who you are using now and if it is them I would truly like to know if they are wrong.

Fishhawk animal clinic. I love this place and they are very reasonable with late hours. Well worth the drive. Not too far from Brandon. L. B

If you need a second opinion, I would highly recommend Dr. Bob Encinosa at Boyette Animal Hospital in Riverview on Boyette Road just east of 301S. I have been with this vet since 1991 and had some really BAD experiences with some Vets in Brandon. At least interview him and see with you think. He has been thorough, compasionate, and respectful with my dogs. (I had 2 APBT Pups both registered and show dogs) They lived to be 14+ years because of this Vet and his care. Both Dr. Bob and his staff were always kind and loving towards my animal babies. I now have a 12# mixed breed (small) and things have not changed. You can reach Boyette Animal Hospital at ###-###-#### He is a graduate of University of Florida in Gainsville, and Board Certified.
Good Luck!
