I have two chihuahuas named Rosie and Roscoe. Dr. B has been the doctor for them since I have had them which has been 4 years. But before that I went through the loss of my beloved Missy which I had had for 15 years and Dr. B and his staff was more than a vet and staff for me through that time in my life. He was a friend and the staff was there for me during this difficult time. Now that I have the other two they all have been there for me . They are actually on my speed dial with my Rosie and Dr. B has already seen me through some tough times with that little one. I would recommend this clinic to anyone that would require their pets to have compassion and for you to be treated with compassion as well. Also, they all can be fun as well. They all have shown me some good times to.

Dr. Bredehoeft and his caring, professional, staff have been taking care of our family pets for over 8 years now. They have helped us maintain the health and care for a total of three dogs and one cat. (Our latest being a 9-month old English Springer Spaniel and the cat is still going strong"age not known"). Dr. B. has helped us through two very difficult end-of-life scenarios with our Labradors. In the first scenario, our Yellow Lab had lived a full, healthy and happy life. The end of course, is always difficult though. In the second and most recent scenario, Dr. B. demonstrated through his compassion and behavior, the traits everyone would want from their Veterinarian and friend. Yes, Dr. B. is more than just a business man. Our most recent Yellow Lab, suffered what was later determined to be a fatal sting or possible bite. We rushed her to the Emergency Vet on the evening of April 7th and by the early morning of April 8th, she died right before me. Dr. B., was there for us when we needed help coping, understanding and finding out what happened. The Emergency Vet told me that only the University of Florida would likely be willing and capable of determining for us what had happened to our beautiful and healthy, 5 year old Lab, less than 24 hours ago. However, we called Dr. B., and he said, "bring me the dog, I would be happy to help you find a peace of mind or do the best I can". Dr. B. helped our family so much in the days following that horrible episode. We will be forever grateful and life-long customers, even if it is a 30 minute drive and we pass several other Animal Care Facilities on the way.

Can you imagine what it would be like if our pets could tell us what they think about the veterinarian we have chosen? In my case, they did just that!We moved to Fruit Cove in 2000 and used a veterinarian known and recommended by our pets doctor in Alabama. And although the quality of care appeared to be good, my dogs never seemed to be happy and often returned from boarding sick. Our new friends and neighbors recommended Dr. B and Switzerland Animal Hospital. One day I decided to just drop by without dogs to meet and interview the doctor. Unfortunately, it was Dr. Bs day off, but the receptionist graciously gave me a tour of the clinic and made an appointment for my then injured dog. When I finally did meet Dr. B, I knew this was the place for us.Not only have we received exceptional care at a reasonable cost, but my dogs (two that are in doggie heaven and the two we have now), are consistently happy about coming to the hospital. Every staff member is a friend according to my dogs, who bound through the doors with tails wagging and tongues flying.I learned a valuable lesson in 2000; our pets really can tell us what they think. Its our job to be smart enough to figure out exactly what they are trying to tell us.

"The pets in our family have been clients of Dr. B's for over 7 years. Whether introducing a new pet to the family, or painfully parting with an older one, Dr. B and his staff have provided not only top level medical care but that all important, and often forgotten, element of true caring. I highly recommend this clinic, its doctors and staff for your pets medical needs."
