Feedback from our clients

  • "These guys really care for the animals they see. I started using Dr Hubbard when i got chickens. No one wanted to treat them as pets but she was, at that time a mobile vet, and helped me with them. I've since used her for my cats and dogs add well. Now she's opened an office in Blountstown! Yay!"

  • "My dog required surgery to fix a lady issue. Once they sedated her, they realized there were more problems than originally thought. Dr. Hubbard didn't charge me any more, and fixed my baby up. The care they show is second to none. Great, friendly, reliable staff."
