Pet Services in Punta Gorda Isles

Dr. Thomas Jackson has a special facility for answering the questions of pet owners. The seasoned veterinarian and veterinary neurosurgeon honed his ability to supply simple, understandable answers as longtime author of a newspaper column called "Ask the Vet." Practicing in the Fort Myers area since 1987, the animal doc with the amiable pet-side manner has treated innumerable critters at Best Friends Animal Hospital, where he serves as senior vet and belly rubber. The facility also boasts two other vets and a friendly staff that emphasizes the importance of preventative health care in addition to surgical, emergency and therapeutic treatments, and vaccinations. The hospital's medical services offer health care for nearly any pet, including exotics and birds, and recently expanded to include professional grooming.

Four Paws Salon and Spa pampers four-legged family members with a range of services including baths, fur trims, daycare, and overnight stays. Caring staff members scrub pooches with shampoos and conditioners to make fur coats shine and remove any traces of pets' graffiti exploits. When pup parents are busy during the day or overnight, Fours Paws' attentive watchers keep canines busy with fun activities and a variety of toys, and match them with dogs of similar sizes for play time, saving owners the hassle of having to teach pets to play solitaire.

DK Grooming cleanses dirty dogs of all sizes with thorough grooming services. Bring in your pup and a specialist can turn musty, tangled hair into a smooth, dapper fur coat with a bath and brushing. They can also clear up cruddy ears and gently snip down nails that have grown large enough to act as stilts.
