Fish Hawk Animal Clinic, Lithia FL

Extremely caring staff. I have a rescue that requires sedation to be brought to the vet. They were so understanding of our situation and cared for her with such professionalism. I really can't say enough about how good Dr. Perez and his staff are.

Just had a new patient appointment here and everyone was amazing! From checking in to checking out and everything in-between was a good experience. A special shout out to Phi.he was so sweet to my dane baby and you can tell he cares about every animal. They are not out to get all the money they can from you like other places, they actually care about your furr babies!

Great, personable staff! They worked hard to get my babies in and took great care of them!

My dog's spay surgery went well and she recovered as expected. The office staff was helpful and friendly.

Very nice staff and normal prices for vet stuff. Book boarding in advance bc most holidays go fast!

Where should I start? Dr. Riviera is excellent and awesome but the vet techs are awful. I have dealt with 4 different vet clinics across states (due to job we move states) and each one of them are awesome and so soothing to deal with. As a pet parent you leave your piece of heart with them and if they are so mannerless and rude with someone who can talk I can’t even imagine what they do to my baby behind close doors.
First they fought with me for giving my pup Corona Vaccine which is not a mandatory vaccine in Florida- they said vet won’t see my pup without it but no explanation why- Dr. Riviera never bought it up when we met him. Then comes the tone of talking and most importantly they administered injection WITHOUT my knowledge to my pup- I never gave them permission to give my pup injection but they DID. Dr.riviera was not aware or what I have no idea but when we told him he was apologized. Now behold - second time happened again without asking us. We found out after we got the prescription. I cannot trust them anymore with my pup. Now, when ai asked them to transfer my pup’s medical reports to the new clinic they behaved very bverudely.

Great Vet! The staff is lovely, and very friendly. They went above and beyond to help my puppy feel comfortable!

They truly do care. My dog got sick, I called half an hour before closing and they were able to get him in and care for him. They are compassionate. The staff is amazing and Dr Rivera is truly one of a kind. They don’t make you feel rushed. It’s hard to find good, caring staff as well as the vet but you have it all here.

They truly are animal lovers. It gives me peace of mind knowing that if you have to have your animal cared for they care for them like you would.

So we called the clinic one day and they told us to drop him off in the morning so that’s what we did because my dog has severe dermatitis. And when we got there they didn’t ven look at us everyone was rude and the didn’t even take my dog in. Since people are not allowed in the store you have to call them but they never answer the phone. So if you have a choice I don’t recommend i.

Awesome staff and doctor! Dr Rivera is one of the rare vets these days that absolutely loves his practice and in all honestly I believe he would continue to practice regardless of money. He became a vet because he has a gift and love for animals that your pet and everyone he meets will feel immediately. He has been out vet for over 15 years and looked after our great Danes from the first day as puppies as they grew up and had puppies and until the very very end. He had become very attached to our male great Dane as well and was right along side my fiance and I on the night we had to put him down. Doc sat and cried right along with us. You will not find a vet with a bigger heart and has the knowledge to go with it as well. You will not be disappointed and you can rest asure your fur babies will have the most compassionate care anywere.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. My dog has severe dermatitis and was starting to have really bad rashes so we took him to the clinic. We had already brought him here before and it was great but this time apparently they couldn’t find them in their system and they ended up not even giving him the meds we asked them too. So if you have a choice don’t come here

This place is absolutely TERRIBLE I do not recommend it all I went to go take my dog keep in mind I had made an appointment the day before and they did not take him. They said that he wasn’t in the system, they probably didn’t even check they looked at the computer for 2 seconds. And I mean if you’re going to work somewhere you could at least be social they didn’t even say hi or good morning they didn’t even look our way.

We have been with this clinic for six months. They really care about their customers and their pets. They give you as much guidance as you need. They are all cheerful and love what they do. Really go above and beyond. I highly recommend them

This vet is all about the money be careful if you are choosing this vet. I wanted to board my dog (2), which are up to date on all shots but they wanted me to do their shots (and I had all the paperwork for their shots) which ment it was going to cost me over $700 to bord them for 3 days

I have a lab/mix rescue dog who is very jumpy and hard to handle. The staff and Dr. Rivera make it look easy to deal w him. I don't know how they do it! They are beyond compassionate, and skillful. I just don't have enough words to thank them.

My 16+ year old Jack Russell, Beau finally indicated to me it was his time. I called all the vets in the area around 10am but it would be a half a day before we could get in. Dr. Rivera was booked and had a flight to catch at 2pm but still fit me in, and he is not even my vet! (he is now, for life) Both him and Chris were beyond professional. They are great people, and both agreed, it was his time. So glad Beau was taken care of by them.

Kind, welcoming people. They explained every detail of my pets medication. Answered every question. Mostly importantly, they made my pet feel comfortable enough to do what they needed to do.

Dr Rivera and his staff are amazing!
I have been to vets for Georgia and Florida and I have never came across one like Dr Rivera he truly cares and is here to really make a difference! The best vet I have ever met! Your pet will love you for taking him here!
Bruiser and I will be eternally grateful!

Stefanie at the front desk was amazing. Very compassionate about my sick kitty. Work hard to get her in for surgery with the vet.
