Hi Wayne, Yes we're open from 8:00AM - 2:00PM on Saturdays.

Thank you for your interest in Dixie Animal Hospital. With pet insurance, it's typical to pay for services up front and then file a claim with your preferred insurance. If you have any further questions, please let us know.

I apologize; we only accept dogs and cats. We recommend South Kendall Animal Hospital or South Dade Animal Clinic for exotic pet needs.

Congrats on your new puppy! Our office staff (305-238-5161) can help you with some pricing questions. We also occasionally have special deals on our website (www.dixieanimalhospital.com) and Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DixieAnimal) where you can keep an eye out for exclusive offers and savings. Neuter estimates usually can only be provided after we have a visit with the pet and are able to draw up an estimate based on age, weight and other factors. Our neutering service does not include laser at this time. Please feel free to contact our office with any other questions.

Yes, we offer a 5% discount for all services and products to our military members.

Yes, with an appointment, we are able to complete health certificates for both interstate and international travel. We do request a full work-week to coordinate information and requirements for your destination as each destination has their own established set of rules for animal import. When you contact our office we will be able to provide with full details of our health certificate service.

We are ALWAYS accepting new clients and patients to join our Dixie Animal Hospital family.

Absolutely, and often when it is necessary we encourage it. Over the years, Dixie Animal Hospital has surrounded itself with a group of highly qualified specialists in the area who can meet all of our patient's needs. From neurology to cardiology to oncology to ophthalmology, we can connect you to a veterinary specialist that can help treat your pet's condition(s).

Dixie Animal Hospital has a full on-site pharmacy and can provide medications for 99% of your pet's needs on the same day. There may be occasions where we have to special order a product, but depending on the product we can have those within 48 hours to a week (if compounding is required).

Dixie Animal Hospital is very lucky to feature a variety of state-of-the-art equipment to help quickly diagnose patient ailments. Our facility is equipped with whole blood and chemistry analyzers, digital full-body radiography, digital dental radiography, and EKG testing. We also have access to veterinary radiologists who specialize in reading radiographs and veterinary cardiologists who specialize in reading EKGs.

Yes, our veterinarians can, and do, perform routine surgeries and dental procedures. For extensive or very complex procedures, we have a selection of specialist veterinarians who will travel to our facility and perform specific procedures such as TPLO repairs, complex oral surgeries, FHO surgery and more.

Dixie Animal Hospital is committed to serving each of our patients with an appropriate and necessary amount of time and care. Because of this, we have to limit emergency cases so that each patient can obtain the full attention of care you would expect for your pet. If the nature of your pets' condition is a true emergency, we can recommend an emergency clinic in the area.

We have two full-time veterinarians. We also make sure to bring in local relief veterinarians when our doctors are out of the office to make sure there is always an experienced professional available for your pets' needs.

It is often difficult to accept walk-in appointments as our doctors want to be able to provide adequate time to each of their patients that they are already treating. We usually have availability for one of our scheduled doctors within a 24 hour period.

Most appointments are scheduled for 20 to 30 minutes and the staff at Dixie want to ensure that you let us know all of your concerns in that time. Some appointments can run over, but typically we try to remain on schedule and have you seen by one of our staff in a timely manner.

With a valid negative heartworm test result from our office, we offer Heartgard as our primary heartworm medication. For those pets who do not tolerate oral preventatives, we offer Revolution.

For most dogs we recommend a rabies vaccine (3 year), distemper-hepatitis-parainfluenza-parvovirus combination vaccine (1 to 3 years), leptospirosis (1 year), influenza H3N2 and H3N8 (1 year) and bordetella (6 to 12 months). For most cats we recommend a rabies vaccine (3 year), feline rhinotracheitis-calicivuris-panleukopenia virus (1 to 3 years), and feline leukemia (1 year). Based on your pets' health conditions and lifestyle we may recommend vaccines less frequently or none at all.

Yes, we accept all current vaccination history from other clinics.
