About two months ago, I lost a very dear friend. He was the most polite, respectful, and obedient dog I have ever met. He was a true gentleman. His name was Festus. I miss him so much, and hate that we had to say goodbye. I would like to thank all the staff at Myakka River Animal Clinic for all the help and consideration they showed during Festus' physical decline and illness. We were always treated with kindness and a positive attitude. I especially appreciated the article included in the most recent newsletter, “The Quality of Life Scale”. It offered a voice of reason to a very emotional situation. I was able to use it to glean logic and reason (and good judgment) at a time when those things otherwise eluded me. Finding Myakka River Animal Clinic to care for our pets after our move to Florida was a godsend. When you read on the company website, “You, the Client, will be given the necessary information in order to help you make your decisions about treatments weighing best outcomes with reasonable costs”, you are reading the exact truth. Before moving here, I worked the prior seven years at a veterinary clinic in Pennsylvania. I knew, when coming here, I wanted to find a veterinarian that offered good, reasonable care, at a reasonable cost. That is exactly what I have found here. The caring and kind attitude is a bonus. So, thank you so much especially to Tammy, Brenda, Donna, and of course most of all, Dr. Dawn Spakowski. You all have my heartfelt thanks. And, more, you have my utmost confidence in the future. Newly and I will see you soon for wellness care. Most sincerely, Dawn Earl

I have used Dawn and team for over 15 years. They always treat my pets as if they were there own, do not overcharge and give us great service every time. I drive over an hour and pass probably 20 places to have them taken care of at Myakka. Customer for life

I am always so happy and pleased with the excellent care my pet receives here. The staff is so friendly and Dr. Dawn is so knowledgeable & answer all of my questions & concerns.

My husband just returned with our yorkie, who unfortunately had to have some teeth removed, but I couldn't be more happy with Dr. Dawn! I was shocked to read the negative reviews on this site because I have never experienced anything but professional, not to mention reasonably priced service from this wonderful doctor. I brought my cat to see Dr. Dawn several months back, and once again the doctor was kind and professional spending lots of time with us explaining our options (the cat had a urinary track infection, which was easily cured). And with our dog, we had googled the cost in advance of what these procedures run in general and we were shocked to see it can be anywhere from $300 to $800 dollars, however Dr. Dawn told us the price would be dependent upon how difficult the removal of the teeth is and could run around $250 dollars. The bottom line is, she charged us $190 for the procedure, she could have charged us a lot more by simply exaggerating how long or difficult the process was but she didn't because she's honest and has integrity. So to those posting these, in my opinion, false negative reviews, boo to you. I hope Dr. Dawn hasn't lost any potential clients because of these reviews, she is truly a fantastic veterinarian!
