I found a small owl in my backyard today. It was in need of desperate care. I tried two vets called others. No one would take this pure little guy. In a last ditch attempt I went to a friend who might know someone who could help me. They suggested your animal clinic. I called and was told to come right away. I am so grateful to Paws and Claws. Their compassion for ALL animal life means so much. Thanks to all who work there. You are true animal heros.

I found Paws and Claws two years ago when we adopted our rescue pup who was heart worm positive. Dr. Culpepper and her office have always gone above and beyond to take such care of our dog Cooper and it shows in every interaction. She takes the time to answer every question you have and that is something many vets we had previously wouldn't take the time to do. When our pup finished his heart worm treatment at the Humane society of Tampa we thought we were in the clear however he ended up testing positive a second time (which is a an extremely rare occurrence). Even though Dr. Culpepper was not the one who did the initial treatment she went out of her way to reach out to additional resources to find out how this could happen and helped provide us with guidance as we had to go through another round of treatment. I can't say enough about his vet practice. Not only is Dr. Culpepper amazing but everyone who works there is equally amazing and cares for your pup just as much. The pricing is always fair and we have never felt like we were getting taken advantage. We have recommended her to family members who have switched over to Paws and Claws and have also had this great experience.

I am floored at how absolutely amazing Dr. Culpepper is. I was not just disappointed and annoyed, but heartbroken when my previous vet didn't care at all that my Winnie had developed a very serious ear infection overnight and refused to see her for 2 weeks claiming they were booked. Dr. Culpepper not only saw her that day despite never having her as a patient before, but she went beyond the ear infection and gave her a thorough exam, explained several aging related but somewhat minor issues she has, was so pleasant, and didn't rush me at all. Thanks to Dr. Culpepper, Winnie had a pain free and pleasant holiday with us. I cannot express how grateful I am. She will be my vet so long as I live here.

Dr Culpepper is Awesome. I am so happy I found her practice after moving to Clearwater. My boy Jess loves her and the staff. They all do a fabulous job of taking care of him. I love how she really does thorough exams, explains and shows you exactly what she is talking about. I never feel rushed and questions get answered. Very pleased!
