North Florida Animal Hospital

We really like this vet and animal hospital. They’ve been taking care of our two cats since we moved to tally, and we and the boys are both impressed with the quality of care. They are always friendly and accommodating, including today when they gave us a quick appointment for an injured paw. We’ve also boarded our cats here and they offered an excellent level of care and attention. And did I mention they have a room just for cats? Awesome.
You and your pets are in good hands here.

I LOVE North Florida Animal Hospital! I recently moved to Tallahassee and I guess 4^th time is the charm! I’ve been to 3 other veterinarians & 2 seemed like they were «the one» until I found NFAH. the 3^rd was a joke I took one of my cats to, Punkin, and would never set food in That place again.
NFAH is amazing, you walk in the door and it doesn’t smell like a vets office — medications & stale animals — it’s clean, high powered A/​C, & fast, friendly, & usually compassionate front desk clerks. The girls are okay but can seem a little detached sometimes.
They may be a little pricey but you get what you pay for. I’ve seen all the doctors and they are all amazing in their own way. You can tell this is their passion — for sure. They make my pets feel comfortable. I’ve had several spay & neuters — never any trouble. They suggested pain medicine but never pushed anything extra. They’re very thorough in their visits.
I came in another time for my Nana kitty, she had used her 3^rd life this time I believe, and got in a scrap with some wild cat & got all infected and all. Dr. Burkhead did the surgery & was very kind & helped me grasp the situation better. We also just walked in with no appointment & were seen within 20 minutes. I was told the schedule was full but someone will be with you on minutes. Seriously, they care.
Wish I could give them 10 stars!

Best animal hospital in Tallahassee. They don’t try to sell you things you don’t need, and the doctors are very caring. Our vet even remembers our dog, which is not required of a vet but it is huge for me. We have had surgeries done here twice and it’s been lower than estimated both times. Love NFAH!

NFAH is the best veterinary hospital I have ever used, and I’ve tried quite a few throughout the state of FL over the years. I found them when my dog, Sadie, tore her cruciate ligament back in October. They squeezed her in the same day despite being very busy (as they always are) and Dr. Hagood and the vet tech (Justin) were wonderful with Sadie (she’s usually very anxious around male strangers). They told us she needed a TPLO operation done to repair the ligament & ensure she never re-​tore it. My boyfriend & I are both law students, so we had to wait until December to save up for the procedure. She went in on a Friday & we picked her up on Monday; Dr. Simmons was her surgeon (and we LOVE Dr. Simmons!). Even though Sadie often hides from guys she doesn’t know, Dr. Simmons had her in his lap giving him kisses about 30 seconds after meeting her. He called us every day that weekend to let us know how she was doing, and even went in twice a day to check on her. The clinic is staffed ²⁴⁄₇ for patients who stay over night or in the boarding kennels, and I think that’s really important – haven’t seen that most other places. Sadie is healing very well (about two weeks post-​op now) & Dr. Simmons, the reception desk staff, and the pharmacist (Michael) have all been incredible any time I call to ask a question or refill a med, etc. The facilities are always spotless, warm, & inviting. When we first checked them out, they gave us a full tour. They also have a hydro-​treadmill (which Sadie will begin using once her stitches are out) for patients who need specialized rehab, and a CT machine. The only thing I believe they don’t have is an MRI. They also use an online patient portal to request appointments or prescriptions, update info, etc. All in all, this clinic comes HIGHLY recommended (and I’m a neurotic pet parent, haha). ²⁰⁄₁₀! :)

I’ve been using NFAH for both my dogs for a few years now. I love this place and Dr. Haygood has been wonderful. The other vets I interacted with there were great too! The front desk staff can seem a bit detached at times, like you wonder if they really know what is going on or care to listen to anything too complex but the level of actual care my dogs have received is great.
One of my dogs needed to have both his knees operated on for patella luxation requiring multiple surgeries and physical therapy. I feel really comfortable with them caring for my dogs. Regular preventive visits are great too. The only complaint I have is a few times they try to get me to purchase my preventative meds there even indicating that not buying from them is dangerous. I certainly not buying black market meds from some foreign country but I don’t have to use the vet. In any case, they approve my prespriptions without issue.
NFAH has a lot to offer and I’ve only had good experiences with the medical staff. I’m moving out of town soon and am sad to have to find a new vet.

Wow. What a great facility. After adopting my kitten Boozie from the shelter, I needed to find a vet as soon as possible to get him check out. I was referred here by a friend. I called, and an appointment was set up immediately for the following day.
I pulled into the parking lot and parked right up front (during busy times, it gets crowded though). When I walked in I was promptly greeted and checked in. I only waited a few minutes before being taken into an exam room.
The vet tech was very nice and ooh-​ed and aw-​ed over my baby Boozie. The exam was quick and when the doctor came in to give the vaccines, I was even more impressed. Dr. Valentine was the best. She was very affectionate with the kitten and I could tell this was her passion. She gave me great instructions and advice.
They have a website as well with a Pet Portal that allows you to log in and manage all of your cats needs like setting up appointments right online. I requested medicine for Boozie and it was ready in a couple of hours.
I have gone back 4 times since and each time is just as pleasant. No bad experiences at all. I would recommend this place to any pet owner. It will be a sad day when I have to find a new vet in another city.
