What our clients say about us...

I love everyone at Hernando Animal Clinic. Dr. Fleming and now his daughter and son-n-law have been treating my animals for many years and I don't see me ever changing. They really care about the animals and will always help you make the best decisions for your pet. Our baby Athena has had multiple surgeries there for a rare skin condition they were able to identify and treat. She has had no issues in over a year now. I won't go anywhere else when it comes to surgery for my animals.

— Roxy M.

Dr. Dorris and Dr. Bailey are amazing vets. They both have been great with my dogs and their passion shows.

— SL Franks

Love this place. Would not take my fur-babies anywhere else.

— Amy B.

Best service ever. I was here visiting from Florida and an emergency situation arose with my Blue Heeler Abbey. Called the clinic and they worked me into their busy schedule, diagnosed Abbey's problem, and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our visit. Thanks to Abby, Michelle and Dr. Ryan Poling for the above and beyond service they gave us. It is obvious they love pets, people and what they do.

— Michael J.

Dr. Fleming was recommended by my regular veterinarian for a surgery he doesn't do. Everyone was so nice and very accommodating for my poor little kitty. They took very good care of him. When it was time to come home Jordan was very [thorough] with the care instructions. Michelle was also so helpful from the beginning to the end.
