Dr Stottlemyer has been my Veterinarian through a mother daughter pair of Catahoula Leopard Dogs ( yes it was a challenge to handle 'em both) I had Roxy 16 years, Cheach only made 12 years (cancer) Then there was Little, a German Shepard, she made it about 17 years. Deoge is the latest, some kind of a red healer Dobie mix, Little and Cheach broke her in, she's about 11 now, hope another will adopt us soon. We always seem to have great dogs, most of the time they pick us out and just move in, the adoptions always overlap and for the most part, the old ones train the youngsters. They are never restrained, and stay on the property on their own and usually are indoor dogs at night. Through these 25+ years, Dr. Stottlemyer has been our attending vet, always there and available whenever we needed him, calling me to the hospital saying "I'm sorry Roxy has to be put down tonight, would you like to be here" This is no average veterinarian but quite an extraordinary one. While we tried to see if Cheach would respond to cancer treatment she spent quite a bit of time at all creatures, I was always welcome to see Cheach, when the time came to let her go on the staff was as tearful as I I have never observed anything or felt even a remote tingle of detachment from any staff member that made me question their dedication or devotion to their chosen field. One does not undertake any profession dedicated to animal health welfare and advocacy without taking a great personal responsibility and love for their patients and the subsequent rewards one feels when they see animal and family reunited.
I have taken all my animals to Dr. Stottlemyer for the past 20 years. Every now and then I have tried other vets but always come back to him. He does truly love animals, is up to date on the medical literature, communicates clearly and honestly, is reasonably priced, and the love and short of it is he is just wonderful. While the other vets there are, I'm sure, kind and competent, I just don't want anyone but Dr. S. to see my pets.
BEWARE!!!! I USED TO LOVE TAKING MY DOG HERE AND ACTUALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO OTHERS. WELL NEVER AGAIN! I CALLED THEM 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THEM CLOSING REGARDING MY DOG AND NEEDING HELP. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T SEE ME. I PROCEEDED ANYWAY BECAUSE I NEEDED THEIR HELP AND WHEN UP THERE 15 MIN LATER. THEY WERE SO RUDE. ESPECIALLY STEPHANIE, SHE DID NOT CARE ABOUT MY DOG WHATSOEVER. SHE SAID SO YOUR SAYING YOU WANT ME TO KEEP MY STAFF HERE LATER JUST TO HELP YOUR DOG? WTH ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU ALL ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF HELPING ANIMALS RIGHT? I HAVE A TODDLER AND MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF TOWN AND I NEEDED HELP. SHE TOLD ME IF I TOOK MY CHILD TO THE PEDIATRICIAN THAT THEY WOULDN'T SEE HIM THEY WOULD MAKE ME LEAVE. I'M SO SHOCKED THEY COULDN'T STAY 10 MINUTES LATER TO HELP MY DOG. IT'S LIKE 6PM AND MY POOR BABY NEEDS TO EAT AND I HAVE TO LEAVE THE VET AND GO TO A VET HOSPITAL WHERE IT TOOK UM MAYBE LIKE10-15 FOR THEM TO HELP MY DOG. I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE ANYMORE. I RECOMMEND PEOPLE GO TO ANIMAL COALITION OF TAMPA, THERE PRICES ARE SO CHEAP AND REASONABLE AND THEY ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU AS MUCH AS THEY CAN. JUST BEWARE YOU ARE JUST A MONEY MAKING NUMBER AT THIS PLACE AND THEY COULD CARE LESS IF YOUR PET IS AT THEIR DOOR NEEDING HELP BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GO.
I have been going to All Creatures for over 10 years (I lost track!) and absolutely love them. I see Dr. Stottlemyer as my regular vet but have seen all of the vets when there have been emergencies and all of them are GREAT. The staff is wonderful, kind, caring, and so very busy! I would recommend them to anyone and have!
