PET ESSENTIALS PORT RICHEYDISCRIMINATES AGAINST SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN!!! I rescued an abused dog from a backyard breeder and have a potential family for him but he needs his shots updated. This “owner”… (CHRISTINA BATTISTA PICTURE IN COMMENTS) refused to give this puppy any care because my SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN wouldn’t wear masks. I asked if I could do drop off like we did during Covid since apparently it’s still Covid right since we all need masks? NO. She REFUSED and was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE TO MY CHILDREN WHO I HOMESCHOOL DUE TO THEIR SPECIAL NEEDS

They require payment ahead of time, fine. It was documented in my account to call day before my visit to collect payment. I wrestled a German Shepherd and chihuahua in the car for my appointment only to be told it was cancelled because no one called for my payment. Don’t know about you, but my time is valuable. I was iffy after last visit anyway as the vet had zero personality. Looking for new vet now.

I usually love this place but it has been next to impossible to get an appointment or any kind of reply or call back.

We loved the friendly staff and the vet really seems to care about the animals and people it was a little bit of a wait but if you check in online i understand its much faster.

For basic pet care, shots, worm testing, physical exam. They aren't a full service clinic, so there's only certain things you can go there for, but what it would cost at a regular full service Vet for shots, you pay less than half that at Essentials. The staff is great, they really care about the animals and are very friendly. I highly recommend them to anyone who has a pet.

Yesterday was my first time visiting and they were phenomenal! I called around several places and their prices could not be beat. $55 for 12 week dog shots and it included an exam. Most places charge you over $100. Everyone was super nice from the lady at the front desk to the vet to her assistant. I will definitely visit again. Very professional.
