If you love and care about your animals and you are VERY picky like I am, look no further! This place is hands down the best. Knowledgeable and patient doctors, friendly staff, and clean facility. There is also zero waiting time. I found this place after a previous vet had put us through the wringer (you can check my previous reviews)! We called asking for an immediate check up for one of my dogs and they squeezed us in with Dr. Haworth the same afternoon. He took the time to go over our X-Rays and calm us down and assure us there was no emergency, which we were led to believe from our previous vet. We set up a treatment plan and we were on our way! No insane fees or scare tactics that some offices are notorious for. I brought our other dog in for a check up and yearly exam and the doctor recommended teeth cleaning under anesthesia. I am terrified of anesthesia because I had a dog pass away from intolerance in the past. Dr. Haworth took the time to give me a walk through of the surgery rooms, dental cleaning area, and introduced me to some of the techs! I met with him two more times before he did the surgery where he explained it to me in detail. The day of, he called me every step of the way with both of my dogs to keep me calm and informed. Amazing person as well as a doctor. Since we have made this our main office, Dr. Haworth has since retired, so we have met with Dr. Drewes (one of the owners) and he did a complicated surgery on my dog for me. I told him my concerns with the anesthetic and he assured me and told me all of his experience (can I say WOW?!) His history is impressive. The staff here are amazing and kind, especially Ashley! Shes so gentle and knows her stuff. I always feel great trusting her with my pets. Dr. Drewes and his wife, Dr. Panzarella, have built an amazing practice filled with unbeatable staff and years of experience. If youre looking for a new animal Doctor, look no further because this is the best you will ever find.

I must say Im not usually one to write reviews. But I feel this is really well deserved to the wonder staff and to any pet owner in the area. The Bayshore Animal Clinic is by far the best vet Ive been to. Ive had tons of pets my entire life and its nice to finally see people who value them as much as I do. The circumstances involving our sweet cat were not the best. I will not go into detail, I will just say he was very very sick. We werent sure what was wrong with him when we took him to the vet but stayed optimistic. The doctors and nurses were incredibly kind throughout each visit. They even remembered our cat each time we brought him in. They did literally everything they could for our cat and did their best to keep costs down. Even working after hours to assist with our sick kittys care. The doctors even went so far as to check in with our cat throughout the week to be sure he was doing okay. My boyfriend and I had to leave our cat with my brother during a business trip for a week and my brother was able to to bring the cat in with no trouble and they answered any questions he had. They really go out of their way for their customers and their pets. Unfortunately, our cat did not make it and we had to put him down. Again I want to thank the staff for their kindness during this time. They even called to check in with us a few days after our cat had passed. They sent us a signed card from all staff along with an imprint of his paw print. It really means so much that they tried so hard. I hope if any of you read this please know how grateful we are. We will have pets in the future and as long as we are in the area we will continue going to Bayshore Animal Clinic. :)

One day I went looking for a new vet and I found this place around the corner from where I used to live which is in a safe and beautiful neighborhood. Jacob Drewes showed me around as I had requested and the very next day I returned with one of my felines. I wish that I had found this place before using any of my previous vets. Not only is the staff friendly, caring and efficient but the owner Jacob Drewes is wonderful who actually cares about his clients as well as the critters and is intelligent and witty. He takes the time to assess and act on situations as well as explaining everything clearly about my pets. Even as a worrier in general I am always at ease either leaving my pets in their care or just going in for office visits. Unlike past most or none of my previous vets, staff members call to see how my babies are doing after being seen or treated for anything. Every detail before a procedure is performed is explained beforehand. Once I brought in Banerjee, my favorite feline without having an appointment not being sure if it was an emergency and was seen immediately. As usual I was reassured that I am always welcome and unlike other clinics I received a call checking on my baby which made me even love the place more. Being more than a business I never feel rushed and am relaxed about how I am treated as well as my pets. I cant state enough how relieved I am to have found this new vet after I thought that it would be hard for me to do this. Jacob Drewes makes even some other nice people look bad and as well as being a great vet and person he is intelligent and humorous.

Drs. Drewes and Panzarella are truly a gift to Tampa Bay. I have taken Nathan to Bayshore Animal Clinic since getting him as a puppy and was satisfied with the care received there. Since this husband and wife team took over as owners, they have certainly taken the quality of care up a few notches. They genuinely care about their patients and take the needed time with their parents- and without the lecturing that I certainly deserve at times. Their follow-up is impeccable and they really do want to know how your dog or cat is doing. I just wanted to end with a word about the techs whom I consider the unsung heroes there. They are always nice and polite regardless of their frantic work pace, and always helpful with administering meds to my stubborn dog. More than that, they are the first to ask the reason for the visit as well as answering any questions prior to the vet arriving in the room. Almost forgot- the receptionists are very nice and always greet you with an empathetic smile. Im only 10 min from the office but would gladly drive an hour for the high level of care consistently received at Bayshore Animal Hospital! Nathan

We recently moved into the area and hadnt had a chance to find a new vet before our dog suddenly got very sick and we had to put her down. A friend recommended Bayshore Animal Clinic and I liked their website - a completely shallow reason to go to a place but it was comforting, and thats what I needed. I had no idea at that time how true that gut reaction would be. Dr. Mondschein was amazing and did everything he could to help a hopeless situation. The fact that they showed her so much love and took the time to thoroughly explain everything meant the world to us. He treated her like she was his own, and on the one week anniversary of her passing called to see how we were doing. The clinic sent us a ceramic tile of her paw print with her name on it, and they sent us a card signed by everyone in the office with a photo of a dog the same breed as her on the front. We broke down crying when we saw it. Its the attention to detail and amazing compassion that overwhelmed us. Were getting a puppy in February. You can bet they have our business for life.
