Everything!!!!Dr Carver and Dr Jane along with their staff are amazing. Dr Carver did the breeding (utilizing fresh chilled semen flown in) and delivered the pups. Her expertise and care are bar none the best I have ever had!!!! You will not find a more dedicated staff and doctors!!!

Dr.’s and staff always go above and beyond for your fur babies. You’re always given an explanation and options to consider when treatment is needed. Compassionate when “ it’s that time “ 😢 I’ve brought my pets here for over 20 years and hope for another 20.

I highly recommend Town and Country Animal Hospital. My experiences with Dr. Carver for canine reproductive issues have been extremely successful, and Dr. Chetkowski recently performed a rather involved dental with amazing results. I have been treated with kindness, compassion and courtesy by ALL their staff members and appreciate the after-hours and weekend texts and phone calls to assure the status of my animals. Both veterinarians are extremely well-qualified and their vet techs and office staff make every visit smooth and stress-free. The hospital is immaculate. I feel very fortunate to have discovered T & C Animal Hospital and am grateful for the services they provide and the care and treatment available to my animals. THANK YOU Town and Country Animal Hospital Naples!

All the staff at Town and Country are wonderful - always very friendly, professional and caring. Dr. Carver is a savior with her reproductive services, so knowledgeable and always goes way above and beyond what is expected. She has helped us tremendously in many situations and will not give up until there is a solution. Dr Carver has even contacted me at home while whelping pups to be sure all is going smooth and given very helpful info!!I always refer people their way when somebody asks, and they always make a point to say they're just as satisfied as I am! A big THANK YOU to both doctors and staff for all you do!!!

AMAZING PLACE! I called them this morning in desperate need of an emergency c section for Nala. They took her in immediately, didn't worry about payment until she was already on the table (ASH refused to do anything without 4 grand upfront) and they were honest, respectful, and you could tell taking care for animals is their passion. I love this place. They were able to save my dog and 2/3 pups and I'm forever appreciative and thankful.

I had a really bad vet experience with another vet so as a suggestion by a friend I brought my puppy here. And let me just say the Service is on believably wonderful! Best vet ever! When I brought my puppy in for the first time I have just got her. she was 4 months old and I have never had a dog before so I have a lot of questions. The vet tech sat with me for over an hour and walk me through everything! She was great! And Dr. Carver don't even know where to begin, she is wonderful! They are always checking up on us after my dog got a little cold and a few allergy. They called to see how she was doing! Like it just goes to show how much they truly love their clients! I live over 45 min away form there office. I live in fort myers so it quite the drive but I don't mind doing it because I know my dog is in the Best hands!

It was a difficult decision to lay our dog, Sam, of almost 17 years, to rest. But the staff at Town and Country were very helpful. On the day of the procedure, they did not have us wait, but brought us right into a private room and were very sensitive to our needs. We appreciate so much the excellent job they did and the care in which they did it. Thank you.

Dr. Jane and staff are always attentive and caring. Dr. Jane has researched causes and treatments of my cat's chronic ear problems, and offers options for moving forward. She also provides advice on daily issues such as feeding an overweight cat. I trust the information I'm given, and appreciate the care and quality of the services provided to my animals.

Dr Jane performed a dental cleaning on my ten year old cat, Sami. I was a bit concerned. because of his age and he had experienced a slight reaction to the anesthesia during his last cleaning. Dr Jane reviewed Sami’s previous vet records and thoroughly explained the anesthetic process she would use. Sami came through the cleaning with no after effects at all. Thank you, Dr Jane and the kind and very capable staff. Randall, Sami and I appreciate you very much!

we can't say enough about Town and Country Animal hospital. We were stranded with no one to take 5 feral cats to get fixed and in cages for two days until they welcomed us with open arms and VERY caring staff. With short notice! All 5 were healthy and felt good only after two days. Dr Jane also came out to speak to us when we came to pick them up the same day. Wonderful, caring people and we won't forget that.

Dr Jane and Dr Carver are the most caring veterinary's in Naples. They have been taking care of my two beagles, Kelly and Gigi for the past two years. Unfortunately Kelly Passed this year. My little Gigi has cushings desease, and right now off the medication and in remission. They follow up with updates, and let you know the best route to go. The Staff are caring and polite. The hospital is spotless. Everyone that had any animal should go here and have the best care.

Very friendly staff, was given a few options and able to pick a treatment that was in my budget. This was my dogs first vet visit and she is nervous around people. The staff was patient and my dog did well considering. I would definitely recommend Town and Country Animal Hospital to anyone that is looking for vet services.

Dr. Jane was wonderful. I came in with a kitten that we had found abandoned in Naples while on vacation (after 3 days of trying to catch her) and we made an appointment with Dr. Jane who kindly fit us into her busy schedule to ensure we could get the kitten checked out. Not only did she take the time to do a full examination and determine exactly what the kitten needed, but she also took the time to connect me with a rescue group (and even had the head of the rescue come in to the office so I could meet her). I was torn between taking her on a plane home with me where there was a potential adopter, and handing her over to this group that would take wonderful care of her and find an adopter in Naples. I couldn’t believe how much time she spent with me explaining my options and ensuring the kitten was well taken care of when I was visibly struggling with what to do. She was so kind and patient and it meant a great deal to me. I would highly recommend her!

I came in with my Puppy without an appointment. The crew was so nice and friendly and took care of my Puppy right away. He got all his vaccinations, his claws were cut, his ears were cleaned and the doctor took her time to check everything. I paid under $100 and got one month free heartworm treatment. The doctor also gave me great tips for a Puppy training and how I'll get my Puppy potty trained.

My dogs have been patients of Town and Country Animal Hospital for several years for everything from routine care to difficult surgeries to relatively unusual health issues and recently, an auto-immune disease. The two vets at Town and Country are both gifted women who take time with their patients and owners and the staff is friendly, competent and caring. In addition Town and Country Animal Hospital is AAHA accredited, the gold standard of veterinary hospital care. I would recommend Town and country to any dog owner.

Our recent N.C. Matipoo rescue developed a ear infection. As seasonal residents we didn't "have a Vet", but our Kings Lake dog friends referred Town &Country. Very, very impressed with Dr. Jane and the entire staff. Our Zech is much improved and on the way to recovery. NOW WE HAVE A VET! and a great sense of security and trust if our Zech needs medical attention while in Naples.

Not sure where to begin, maybe at the end. Last year I had to put my old sweet Labrador Retriever to sleep because he had developed Pancreatic Cancer. The Vets and Techs at Town and Country took such good care of me during this very challenging time in my life. Their vision of compassion and quality were what I was looking for when trying to help my old sweet friend in his final days. They have also been amazing with my new pup! Like a typical adolescent boy, he has had his fill of knocks and torn toe nails. We know the inside of every exam room at the Town and Country Animal Hospital. And like some adolescent boys I know, he is also very brave most of the time and a timid like mouse when he comes into the Vet Office. Everyone has been so patient with him. Trying to help him be brave and then just letting him be him too. If you are looking for a Vet in the Naples area, this is your Vet. I take a boat and drive an hour to see these folks. I wouldn't trade the care for the world.

Last week I brought my beloved pet, Mitzi in to Town & Country because she was exhibiting unusual behaviors. She was diagnosed with CHF in RI back in the Fall and her symptoms were progressing but more that that, she appeared to be in pain - not letting me pet her and barking incessantly. After 14 years, I knew it was time to let her go but I was hopeful that the doctors at Town and Country could give her that "magic pill" to bring her back to her healthy self but that was my heart, in my head, I knew differently. Never having been to Town & Country, I didn't know what to expect which definitely made this difficult visit even more difficult. The Techs immediately put me at ease as Mitzi was somewhat challenging to examine and they took it in stride, doing what they needed to before Dr. Carver-Raffa came in to assess our situation. She was kind and sympathetic to my emotional pain and in a most compassionate way gave me permission to do what needed to be done. I stayed with Mitzi while she was anesthetized and when the lethal injection was given and was comforted by the fact that Mitzi felt no pain (finally) and is now in a better place. I'll be ever grateful to Dr. Carver-Raffa and the staff at Town & Cuntry for helping us both get through this heartbreaking event.

People need to know that the staff of Town and Country are very nice and very professional people. We have had many stray cats spayed and neutered here. They also treated one of our cats who was seriously ill. They were so concerned that they called us to check on him several times over the next few days. I am very impressed by their dedication to animals. One way they show this is through their willingness to help control the feral cat population. I highly recommend them.

I found these 4 kittens and got free certificates to get them their shots and to get them fixed let me tell you I appreciate the free certificates but this place is just all about the money they were cold and very condescending my last 2 girls that I had fixed there are infected because the recovery collars were too big and I went back to get smaller ones and they pretty much told me that I was out of luck I will never ever take my animals there or give them any more of my money they hide behind calling themselves a community Veterinarian but its a lie they have their hand out sad very sad
