Princess and I were referred to South Beach Animal Hospital by a friends neighbor, when i shared with him that my 16 y.o. kitty had unusual grooming neglect and difficulty eating. My kitty, a young 16 y.o. tabby who was full of life and very clean, suddenly wasnt herself... so this really concerned me. When i visited the office, i met Dr. Tenzer who listened attentively and was very sensitive to my concerns. He didnt want to alarm me but upon thoroughly examination, he explained the possible scenarios and we decided on further testing. Dr. Tenzer was incredibly sensitive not only to my emotional pain once we received the results but also to my financial ability in treatment options. My kitty had cancer under her tongue and this news broke my heart; not only because it meant i would soon lose her but also because of my present limitations in budget, preventing me from saving her. However, he worked with me to be able to give her the best possible chance in prolonging her life and allow us to share a few more months together. We had to place a G-tube in her throat. He took his time explaining the entire process, expected prognosis and possible challenges. My kitty responded very well to the treatment;she got used used to it very quickly and gained some strength back. Every time we visited the hospital i felt like i was amongst friends, every single staff member ongoingly gives their best to the welfare of the pets and are sweet and helpful as well as extremely professional in every way. One of the girls graciously delivered some medication for Princess on one occassion, when i was unable to drive. Thanks to the care my kitty received, we were able to share the next 3 months together. However, 2 days after my birthday on April 22 my Princess took a turn for the worst and i had to call Dr. Tenzer after hours, on a Friday evening. This incredible doctor left everything he was doing returning to the hospital immediatly, and helped my Princess to the last moments of her life. I cannot say enough about the South Beach Animal Hospital doctors and staff. I have had the opportunity to receive services from other vets, but none have matched the level of care and sensitivity received here. Needless to say, i highly recommend locals as well as travelers with pets to visit the hospital, when needed.

I am so happy a friend of mine got me to switch to south beach animal hospital. Dr. Tenzer is amazing. This is the only vet on miami beach that is not a rip off. I just recently had an issue with my Dogo Argentino and i called the vet to tell them about what was happening. After consulting with Dr. Tenzer they called me back with a complete course of action for my dog. They didnt try to force me to come in to their location and charge me for a visit. They gave bypassed all the extra charges and had me come in only to pick up the medication my dog needed. Needless to say 24 hours later my Dogo is doing a lot better. On a side note, my dog doesnt like being at the vet and can start to growl when being touched by vet techs and the vet. To make my dog comfortable and less stressed out, Dr.Tenzer goes above and beyond. Instead of bringing my dog into a room where he is ion a confined space, Dr. Tenzer made sure that the first time my dog (Kilo) met him, it would be a fun and nice experience. We did our entire vet visit in the waiting room and every visit since has been the same. Kilo is a lot more comfortable at South Beach Animal Hospital then he has been at any of the other countless vets i have been to.

I am new to Miami Beach, coming from another state. I took my dog to south beach animal hospital after checking out some reviews for the areas veterinarians, and it was nothing short of wonderful. I am a very fussy pet owner, and think of my pets as my children. Usually when i take my dog in he needs to be muzzled. The vet tech came in and explained everything to me first, and then Dr. Walter came in and looked at my dog. I was amazed at the fact that the two of them were able to get a scope down my dogs ears without being muzzled. He sat there and let them do whatever they needed to do without giving them any trouble. I couldnt believe he was this good on the first visit. My dog absolutely loved both of them. These people clearly love animals, and the animals know it. I was given all the information i needed and more, and would highly recommend this vet to anyone. Great vet care is not cheap, but i didnt find it to be any higher than any of the vets weve visited in the past. If you love your animals take them here. The care is stellar, and the atmosphere is wonderful. You can trust your fur babies are under good care here. LOVE this vet clinic!

I Love South Beach Animal Hospital! the whole team is amazing, I Have a French Bulldog, Benoit, he is 2 years old, since his first day at home (2months old) for his first check up we take him with them, Everybody is always nice and with tons of patience to explain, to take care, even by phone (specially Laura), I have no complains or negative comments at all. About pricing I dont think is expensive or overpriced, I could go to a cheaper hospital (theres always a "cheaper than the cheapest" for everything) but truth is prices are totally fair and according with the QUALITY of their service and attention, besides they offer different plans and choices to meet everyones needs French Bulldogs are a very special and delicate breed, Benoit keeps growing very happy, playful and healthy with them, therefore as an "overprotective" mother, I am very happy and satisfied with them as well. I totally recommend South Beach Animal Hospital, and hope they keep up the amazing job they do.

The vets here were horrible and rude! I brought my little Pup in and they told me she had parvovirus so I went with the treatment plan and I payed an extra $500 to have an overnight nurse look after my Lil pup during the night at South Beach Animal hospital bringing my total to $1500 for a total of 4 nights stay. What happened was there is NO overnight nurse they LIED my dog suffered a CRonical events of seizures during the night and NO NURSE or anyone was at the south beach animal hospital only it was when they came in they found out that she was having seziures every half hour and they didn't even try to help her they then decided to wait an hour to decide of they should take her to a REAL animal hospital that has care 24 hours and she later died because of there stupidness!!! This place is a complete FONY business!!!! I advise you to take Care of your pup and send them
<br/>To a REAL 24 hour care animal hospital!!

I wholeheartedly disagree with the last post. It was harsh and I cant help but think the person who wrote it is referring to a different place. I have 6 pets (1 dog and 5 cats) and drive 45 minutes to this vet because the care, service, and value are second to none. The facility looks small from the outside, but after receiving a tour it is an impressive, truely state of the art hospital-a must see for anyone interested in animal care. Dr. Tenzer donates his time for free neutering of stray animals and does other non-profit animal welfare activities. This tells me he is a true animal advocate, motivated by an authentic desire to help animals, not just make a profit as Ive experienced with other vets in the past. His integrity as a professional,his sound expertise in diagnosis, treatment and preventative medicine has always made me confident that my pets are in good hands...which it what its all about.
