Hiding pain is one of your cat's natural instincts. In fact, displaying pain or weakness makes cats an attractive target for predators in the wild. Although dangerous predators don't lurk in your home, those instincts still surface when your favorite feline is suffering. Luckily, a few tell-tale signs can help you determine if your pet is hurt or sick.

Duval Animal Hospital has provided excellent care for my two
shitz zhus for several years. My oldest was diagnosed with diabetes in August. Dr. Wilkinson and his staff were so supportive in my efforts to learn a new routine for her. I called in daily; Dr. Wilkinson or one of the techs called frequently. I can't ever remember getting that type of support from other Vets!
They are amazing!

We had 2 of our pets assisted across the “rainbow bridge” at Duval Animal Hospital!! Both times the staff was nothing short of EXEMPLARY with respect to courtesy, sympathy and caring of not only our pets but us as well!! Dr. Wilkensen is our doctor and we are very, very happy with his “bed side manner”. Duval Animal Hospital sets the “standard” for how a Veterinarian Hospital should treat its patients and family through “good” and “challenging” times!!!

Our dog has severe anxiety at times due to abuse as a puppy. Dr. Wilkinson worked with us to come up with the right dosage of the right meds and she is doing better every week. Amanda, one of the vet techs at DAH, called me every week for a month just to check in and see how well the increasing dosages were working. It's wonderful to see our pup so HAPPY! NOTE: We have worked with Jill Cruz, the best trainer around, on anxiety issues and consider medication a last resort. However, you can't completely train away anxiety caused by trauma.

I initially brought my cat in after she developed an abscess on her back. It was right before Thanksgiving, and no other animal hospitals had been returning my calls. I should have started by calling Duval Animal Hospital. They got her in quickly, and began treatments, and in no time she was healed up. They were very transparent about everything they were doing and what they were charging me for (which all seemed very reasonable), and I felt that I was in very good hands. I’d highly recommend this clinic!

Dr. O has been my vet for 10 years now. He has shown care and compassion to my dogs and to me. The staff has been wonderful.
There have been times when Dr. O has made suggestions about a costly procedure or treatment but NEVER has he pressured me. We have a discussion about the pros and cons and my decisions have been respected. After every visit, Dr. O's office calls to check on my pets. I love that!
