Follow up after emergency hospital visit over the weekend. Full review of care and blood work, full caring notes taken along with vitals, full exam by the doctor. Checked out with some meds and special food. No charge for the doc and vet tech??? Really? We almost cried on the way home. Animal Wellness, we appreciate you.

My first experience with the son of lake county's belovedSR. Dr. Merritt-very positive experience (the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree). I brought my little fur baby there this morning with possible leg, hip or back injury. Where some could've taken advantage of my layperson's knowledge and ordered multiple tests, he was quite honest and thorough with his exam and diagnosis. He prescribed a mild doggie nsaid, that kept my expenses lower and health of the baby in mind too. Very pleased, and we'll be back!

When we moved to Mount Dora in 2021 we were anxious about finding the right vet for our older dog who had an autoimmune disease. We are SO grateful to have found Animal Wellness Center and Dr Merritt. Wonderful bedside manner, the staff is so kind and easy going. Seriously the nicest place around. Facilities are clean and newer. The wait to get in for a new patient appt is worth it. Our older dog has since passed and we have a new puppy now and it's been overwhelming to have a puppy but the staff is there to listen and offer tips and help anyway they can. Also, I appreciate that Dr. Merritt is more of a less is more approach and doesn't push medications or surgeries... read full review
