Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care. At Suburban Animal Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment. We would love to partner with you in helping your pet live a long, happy, and healthy life. Pets cannot tell us how they feel.

Dr. Holly Blair has taken wonderful care of our pets for a number of years. We never feel rushed and she thoroughly explains her findings and makes sure all questions are answered, either during our visit or later when we think of another question. We have referred many others who are equally enthused about the services they receive.

I really liked Suburban Animal Hospital. It was our first visit for my dog Mabel and I. The facility is quaint and old-fashioned, and I found quite charming. We were first seen, quite quickly, by the vet technician David. He was very efficient, thorough and friendly. We then saw Dr. Nipper. She was very kind and extremely knowledgeable. She examined Mabel and diagnosed her very well. We are all feeling much better. We are new to the area and finding a new doctor is always stressful, but we are very happy with our choice.

I've been socializing my baby for the past year and was finally able to get her in for a vet visit. They were as unintrusive as possible, supportive, clear about risk factors, transparent about billing, and knowledgeable. I wish I could do more to let them know how grateful I am for keeping my baby alive but thank you to Dr. Jones, Lauren, Abigail, Brady, and the intake team. You are all so professional and efficient. Thank you. - Loren and Beans

This was my first time boarding my dogs and I couldn't give a higher recommendation. I was nervous about my dogs being nervous and their reactions but the staff called and texted me keeping me fully informed about what was going on and how my babies were doing. When I picked them up they were happy and clean and clearly friendly with the staff. I highly recommend Suburban Animal Hospital. Friendly and competent.

Dr. Sammy and the crew have always been kind, patient, and professional. I have been going to Suburban Animal Hospital for over 19 years, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. Took almost a year to find the right Vet when I moved to Gainesville. They are amazing and don't push for things (procedures, medications, or tests) that you don't need! They follow up quickly on test results and genuinely love their 4-legged clients and are informative and patient to the client's owners.

I absolutely loved how they got down on the floor with Cooper as they examined him. I loved how they did almost everything in my eyesight. I loved how friendly and open minded they were. I absolutely loved everyone that helped me! I love how they are advising spacing out his vaccines since he's had seizures before and this way if he has any reaction we will know what it is from.
I absolutely loved everything! I had technician sierra and vet dr. Meier and both were absolutely amazing! You can tell they both love their job and love animals and ultimately will do whatever is best. They were able to fit me in the same day and work with me on getting all other animals in my care (10 total) registered to be switched here because of how much I loved them Thank you both for an outstanding job and making me feel like part of the family! I know Cooper had a great time there too (:

Suburban Animal Hospital has been part of our family for over two decades. They love our dogs as their own and they do everything possible to ensure that they live happy, healthy lives. Dr. Sammy has been with us for years, and through two dogs, and we can't say enough great things about him. His professionalism, kindness, and good nature put our usually frightened dog at ease. He is gentle with her and comforts her. We always know that she's in good hands, as was her brother years before. Thank you for all you do and have done for us, Suburban!

Dr. Nipper was excellent. She took the time to explain her reasoning and made good eye contact. She also established some next steps just in case the first plan did not work. I felt like she was caring for my dog in the same way that she would care for her own. Its a 20 minute drive for me to come to this office and there is a well-known, highly rated vet less than 3 minutes from my house. The care my dog receives at Suburban always makes the drive worth it and I make sure to recommend it to all of my friends!
