Services
New Tampa Animal Hospital was founded in 2008 by Mara Ricci DVM to better serve the needs of the community in which she had practiced for the previous 12 years. We are very pleased that many of our patients have been visiting us since they were young, and are always happy when new 4-legged family members are added!
The most important part of your pet's annual visit is a complete physical examination. As pets age much more rapidly than humans, the exam is often able to uncover problems early, when treatments are most effective. Our services span from routine wellness to critical care and orthopedics, and we are prepared to care for your friends from the time they join your family through the time to say goodbye.
Please phone to schedule your appointment- we will do our best to accomodate your scheduling requests. Please let our receptionist know of all problems and concerns so appointment time may be scheduled appropriately. We do accept walk-ins, but ask for your patience while you wait for doctor availability.

I have been trying to hold back my opinions on them ,but I’m really disappointed at them as I move along my dog treatment with them. This hospital is very business-driven.The doctor cares more about doing business and making money than caring about my dog. She pushed over more expensive treatments than my dog actually needs , and the monthly refill request is totally a disaster,I have been calling them 4-5 times a day to request a refill for my dog’s prescription,but the doctor seems care less about patients when it comes to no-money request , she is not responding with a positive and timely

I wish we had seen dr Ricci first then maybe this review wouldn't be so bad. Took my baby for infection from tooth. Wasnt given options. Wasnt explained what dentist had said to them. Was charged for a service they couldn't perform first day. Wasnt told what they neede to do until he was sedated. Was told no additional meds then there were. Was told post op by Dr ricci but front desk gave conflicting post op instructions. And I still have to take him to dentist for problem I went to them for.

My regular vet was unable to get us in easily but recommended NTAH. They are fantastic (and closer to where I live now). As much as I love the vet I've been going to for years I happily plan to transition at least some of my crew because I felt very comfortable having my fur kid seen here.

Dr.Ricci is the best. She saved our dogs live. She answers calls and calls you back. The front staff can be alittle better.
This is a very busy place and hard to get through and be seen also not sure if everyone gets all their messages but i will not take anything away from Dr. Ricci.

Dr. Elizabeth Novy is fantastic. Comprehensive and compassionate care. She has seen 2 of our 3 dogs and I am thrilled to have her take care of them. We will be returning.
Sad update. One of our 3 dogs was ill and that's why we initially sought treatment with Dr. Novy. Unfortunately, he had an aggressive form of cancer and we had to put him to sleep. Through the entire diagnostic and treatment process, Dr. Novy was there for us with thorough and compassionate care. She referred us to an amazing oncology specialist team, Fetch Veterinary Services in Brandon, and ultimately to an equally amazing

We have been going to this hospital for all our animals for the past 10 years. The staff is super caring and they are very helpful. We have had two pets pass away and they are just so great there. Let us have extra time and we didn't feel rushed. They were super compassionate.

What a joke. Nickle and dime central. We need an appointment before your appointment so we can set up your "appointment". To establish a relationship with your animal which they'll proudly charge you for. You've been warned... Stay away from this place.

New Tampa animal hospital is by far the Best Vet I've been to. Paris (my dog) has been a patient here for over 4 years and they've always provided spectacular care for my four legged best friend! The office staff and doctors are super friendly and informative! They send annual reminders for follow ups and always take Paris in quickly if there is ever an emergency situation! And I've never been swindled into any unnecessary treatments. Thank you NTAH for being amazing throughout every visit. I have and will continue to send any friends/family your way! 😊
