5 Stars is not nearly enough for this amazing Vet in North Miami Beach. I have been Dr. Hardy's client since 2007. His compassion for the animals is unsurpassed by any vet I have ever experienced. He explains everything to the most minute detail, no question is too unimportant. He takes the time to make sure that we understand everything. I have such great confidence in his expertise and experience that I regularly recommend his practice to friends and acquaintances and they call me after spending one appointment with him thanking me for the referral. Not only is Dr. Hardy amazing, but his staff is amazing. I wouldn't take my pets to any other veterinarian.

Dr. Joseph Hardy is extraordinary both as a veterinarian as well as a human being. I have known him for over a decade and I would not go to anyone else. He is honest, very knowledgeable, personable and he always takes his time to describe all the possibilities and circumstances in order to be able to make the best possible choice for both the animal and his/her caretaker. He has saved several of my own and foster cats lives as well as he has saved a pigeon I found on the street with severe damage to her wings. He equally and deeply cares just as much about animals as about their caretakers. He respects all living creatures and beings regardless of species. I recommend him to anyone who would like to get the best medical care for his/her beloved pet. He is really exceptional. I wish there were many more special souls like him in every area of life! And more of, his staff is just as amazing with their compassion and caring attitude. This is the best place you can go!

Dr. Joseph Hardy is the most caring veterinarian I have come across in my many many years of dealing with veterinarians. His compassion shows no bounds and he explains carefully what the problem is and how he will take care of it. If the situation is one that needs the services of a "specialist" he does not hesitate to send you to the appropriate facility/doctor. His compassion for the animals he deals with and the owners who are often filled with anxiety, is above and beyond expectation. Your pet could not find a more caring, competent doctor.

I think the person who wrote horrible review could not have been reviewing Dr. Hardy at Ives dairy animal clinic. Dr. Hardy & his excellent staff SAVED my sweet shihtzu & helped me save my sanity after a horrible experience with ER vet. I was referred to Dr. Hardy by my groomer Connie she is the owner of Hallendale pet Salon and the greatest groomer..I called her asking for Vet reference After ER vet showed no compassion and told me my dog 24-36 hours to live and the ultimatum of giving them a 3,000 down payment for emergency surgery that could climb to 5,000, needless to say I was devastated and at a loss of what to do really not having that insane amount of money. I called Dr. Hardy office and they saw my pup right away. I was able to relax some realizing this vet has great concern and respect for life of animals, and is NOT all about money. his fee was reasonable and he and his team are 5 star and really care for animals. He was easy to talk to and very detailed in explaination and available anytime of the day or night for the first few days after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Hardy & his staff @ Ives dairy animal clinic for the best in medical care while remaining humane in their approach and pricing..

5 star vet.
