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.

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.

I have been here couple times at least. Cat 1 I brought earlier in the year when she lost mobility on her back legs. I came here because they have more staff and I felt they could attend to my cat faster. And they did. When you are under duress your mind processes info differently. A vet is supposed to understand this and work in your (you and your pet) best interest. The option they gave is more tests on top of their xray's but with a specialist separate from them. Okay. I understand. So I asked what would you do, what should I do - I was getting at whether this is the time to put her down. The doctor pretty much agreed and I understand why. They gave me my space and I pleaded with God what to do (no I do not hear voices) - after time I got the pressure to just take my cat and go. So I told them I am leaving - and the vet said but aren't you gonna put her down, I said no, I am just leaving. I took my cat to my regular vet, and they did some tests and found the thyroid was elevated and I was told it could cause these episodes including death. Here we are 6 months later and my cat is loving life.Come to now, my 2nd visit again under duress. Another cat started wheezing for couple days. Thought it was a hairball. Well this clinic diagnosed him with asthma. They are correct. Besides the crazy amount of tests they put up as an option - worth $700, of course I declined, the only meds they offered was pills and capsules now, or liquid by order in about a week. I know my cat and I know giving him pills or capsules is a losing battle. I reluctantly took the meds and as I thought, it is a war zone at my house, putting not only him but the other cats in distress. I was ready to put him down. This clinic was all too eager to take that option. The next day I began research on this condition and my options. Come to find out good options exist, would you believe it? Yet this vet did not offer them. Of all the options the fastest, most effective and lowest cost given all considerations is an inhaler (this vet like most vets does not sell them), and a tube designed for cats that allows kitty to breathe normally for about 10 seconds and condition improves within minutes. It only lasts few hours, but it is few hours of not gasping for air. I was upset they did not give me this option. Before this they knocked down the idea of even asking the doctor if they would be willing to write a script for an oxygen tank (another viable and successful option).So I called them yesterday about writing a script for the inhaler so I can buy it online since they don't sell it. It took them almost 24 hours to return my call to say no. No? What you mean no? They don't feel the dosage is right on the link I gave them, so I asked, ok, how about giving me a better source and write a script for that one? Answer = NO!So here my cat gasps for air while I search for options to save his life and they say no, but they will say yes to jabbing a needle in his heart and murdering him. I called 2 other vets before they returned my call, one is my vet, another just a random vet with good ranking. Both said of course they would write a script. One of the vets said it is actually a common option and easier on the cat, something they recommend. It is now Saturday so I have to wait few days for the vet visit and products to arrive by mail. In the meanwhile I have to watch my cat suffer, I cannot eat or work because I'm in CONSTANT distress. They are incompetent. The only person that is super awesome is some Erica girl that works in the back, super super nice. After speaking to another awesome vet in Sarasota, they gave me better options with the meds I received here until the inhaler arrives and I can order the liquid meds. They saved this clinic from me doing a charge reversal.

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
