I love this place! My cat Onyx was in critical condition and the staff there was beyond awesome at explaining the reasoning for his condition and helping us understand his condition. The minute we walked in the door they immediately came to greet us and began assessing the situation. We had come from a horrid experience at the ER Hospital where they told us our only option was to have him euthanized so the helpful and smiling faces were great to us! I could not have asked for better care for our fur baby! I would recommend them to everyone!!

“Looking for a Vet who cares?”

Yes. We were.

We didn’t find one at the Animal Heath Care Clinic on Drew Street in Clearwater Florida.

If you are looking for a vet to fumble around with expensive tests and ineffective treatments, Animal Heath Care Clinic is your place.

Beau, our 11 year old golden retriever, suffered from atopic determititis and skin infections resulting from it.

We exhausted Dr. Moretti and Dr. Denesi capability to help Beau despite having spent ~$850 over 5 months.

We did everything they've asked to include antihistamines, steroids, topical sprays, blood panels, benedryl, switching to multiple higher-quality no grain food dog food, fungal skin tests, yeast tests, frequent bathing with high end dog shampoos, trying to control house allergen sources, supplements of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, etc. None of the above provided relief.

When we independently researched the web and learned Atopica and Apoquel as popular potential solutions to Beau’s allergies.

We contacted Animal Heath Care Clinic and scheduled a follow-up with a specific request for the drug to be prescribed. Nicole confirmed that they had Apoquel in stock.

Dr. Denesi seemed befuddled and confused with his persistent skin condition, refused to prescribe Apoquel, and prescribed another battery of expensive antibiotics ($85) , a skin biopsy, ($250( and would have prescribed more steroids (less it conflicted with the Vetprofin they had prescribed for him) to treat a skin infection, despite our protests that their previous regimen of antibiotics was ineffective.

I later learned that the “bait and switch” treatment was because they did not have Apoquel in stock.

I asked for the Dr. Moretti or Dr. Denesi Animal Heath Care Clinic to call me back 2-3 times – a vet never returned my call.

We elected to switch to All Care Care Pet Hospital on Sunset Point Road. Dr Rixford and her staff were confident, educated, compassionate and loving. Our experience with them was amazing and significantly different.

Apoquel provided him immediate relief. The difference in his skin and energy drastically improved within 24 hrs.



Over months, Animal Heath Care Clinic never mentioned Apoquel as an option, because they did not have it in stock, and not because it was not what was potentially best for Beau. They seemed more motivated to prescribe expensive options.

In summary, Animal Heath Care Clinic operates more like an ineffective business motivated by profiting from expensive treatments and tests than a place that demonstrates caring and capability to help your pet.

Dr Supow is one of the most caring vets I have ever worked with. Fantastic with my dog.

We brought our 10 week healthy puppy in to be spayed at 7am. I received a phone call at 2pm saying she had passed away. Obviously my family is devastated. Supposedly she made it through the surgery and died during recovery of cardiac arrest. Thankfully the doctors will be doing am autopsy to determine the cause. Please make sure to kiss your pet before dropping them off. The doctor and manager were very polite and helpful. The one front office lady was quite (red hair.) There was another lady on the front desk who is new to the practice. She was rude and insensitive and made my daughters feel awful. I believe she may need further training to succeed in this industry.

Great friendly service from the entire staff and true compassion for my animals one dog and a 19 year old cat that has always received the best care. I'm grateful to have found them.

Wish I'd read these, before I ever went to this nut-house! Never saw the owner. She was out back like the wizard behind the curtain, pullin' levers and yankin' chains. Everyone that talks to you, there, has something totally different to say, so you don't know which way is up.

Great service, prices were reasonable (definitely less than my other vet). I love the flea medication that both of my dogs are on, and it was recommended by them. I tell everyone about this place.

I would never take my animal there. I am making a police report. Mark the Dr.'s wife is calling and making threats. Swearing at me on the phone. So unprofessional. This is also the same man that said if I did not give them 600.00 to treat my cat they would have to put him down. This clinic is ran like an ER vet hospital not an animal clinic.

That this the worst facility to ever take your loved pet. totally unprofessional, in fact told me that they were going to keep my pet there to die. It got to the point that the police had to come. so this place gets no stars
