Animal Wellness World Merritt Island, Florida

This place is amazing. I take my dog here for daycare once a week, and have used them for boarding her while out of town on multiple trips and she always always comes back to me so happy. They take SUCH good care of our fur babies, they post instagram photos daily as updates so we can see what the dogs are up to. Tipsy loves it here and doesn’t ever want to leave!

My dog was diagnosed with Allergies by another vet. He had severely infected feet, hair loss and was absolutely miserable. Several rounds of steroids, Antibiotics, Apoqel, Vet RX diet, etc. only helped a little and I was told we would like have to try to manage it as good as possible for the rest of his life. I was not at all happy with the expensive food and pills and the results, so I decided to get a second opinion at Animal Wellness World. While his Thyroid had been checked by the prior vet, Dr. Craig suggested to do a full Thyroid Panel, and gave him an antibiotic shot for the inflammation, to which he responded extremely well - much better than to the other antibiotics that had been administered. She also suggested some supplements and a new diet (homecooked). His feet immediately started to heal and I was very pleased. Then we got back his bloodwork and BINGO! Dr. Craig was spot on, the bloodwork showed he had Thyroid disease. He was put on Thyroid Medication and he has not had any new hot spots or infections, his fur is growing back soft and full, his eyes are shiny again and he is acting like his old self! I am so extremely happy, that I brought my dog to AWW!! Kudos to the whole team! I highly recommend them!

This place cares about your animal. My vet was closed and my dog had something in her throat. I did not think she would make it to the emergency vet so I called them and they took her in right away. Not all vets will do that as I called a closer one to where I live first. They would not take her. Thank you for caring.

Was taking my dog to the wrong Vet for Years asking them to fix my dog. Dr. Ragona took 1 look at my dog and said leaky gut. Changed her diet added B12 shots because she was depleted of B and 3 weeks in...she is like a new dog. ❤????

they were amazing, was a very sad day, and the comfort given was very welcomed

Dr. Ragona is amazing and her staff is always kind and knowledgeable!

Best veterinary clinic in Brevard! Dr. Ragona is truly amazing with everything that she does.

Came here hoping a holistic vet would be helpful after a bad experience at a traditional vet. My dog had pretty severe allergies at the time and was having some bad diarrhea. We were hoping we could get some advice on diet, specifically raw feeding. We explained his allergy symptoms and showed photos. He just got done with antioniotics and steroids from a previous vet for an ear infection. We went over his diet and what we had tried. We were currently in the process of an elimination diet to determine food allergies. We were not offered any solid diet advice. We were told to keep doing what we were doing. The vet tried to sell us allergy testing (which i know from my own research isn't always accurate) to do immunotherapy. She also suggested the same thing the previous vet did. Apoquel. Cytopoint. More medication. Band aid solutions with risks. We did agree to try the Cytopoint. He would have to get injected every month for nearly $100. For life. We walked out with more medications and a $300 bill fewling hopeless again. The Cytopoint worked for a little bit, but wore off after 2 weeks and his symptoms came back. This was a waste of time and money. I was able to get much more useful information through online groups and articles. My dog is now much better, but no thanks to a vet.

Don’t come to here again,please, everybody.

Great experience all around, wonderful staff and a very neat clinic. Dr. Ragona knows exactly what our dogs need, I never feel like she is pushing unnecessary treatments or medication. This is the place to be if you want the highest quality of life for your pets!

My dog Boaz has been under the care of this amazing team of true animal wellness specialists. We have leveraged pain management, aqua therapy, and laser therapy for his chronic hereditary arthritis. Dr Ragona cares most about the dogs' holistic health and put together an affordable plan to treat our dog over the past few years. Check them out and their serine facility in North Merritt Island!

I went to another place and was very unhappy. I thought I was going to loose my baby. So someone referred me to Dr Ragona. My dog needed major surgery and it was a total success. I can not even believe how much better my baby was in just 12hrs. I highly recommend them for surgical procedures. We shall hopefully have great experience with all other services also.

Of the various vet clinics that I've used throughout my 20 naval year, this clinic has the most available services and treatment options. AWW offers an integrative approach which I preferred. I boarded my dogs and cats here for 12 days and felt comfortable leaving them there knowing that were tended to and could be checked on via cameras.

Dr Ragona is great! She got my dog right in and was able to help him start to feel better after scratching his cornea. This time of year comes with the added bonus of going home with a bag full of some of best mangos I have ever tasted.

Dr. Donna Ragona and staff are by far the Best Care you can get for your Pets! Dr. Ragona's knowledge spans the range of Allopathic Veterinary to Holistic, Acupuncture and Herbal Veterinary Medicine in addition for Her personal Love of animals and her gorgeous paintings that adorn the walls of the Animal Wellness World Center offices! Also I just had my Riley groomed there too and the Groomer did a marvelous job!????????????! I highly recommend her staff too! They are the total package for care for your beloved pets!!!

We always feel confident bringing our pets here. The entire staff have always been anxious to provide excellent care. The Vets are top notch in everything about pets. The nurse staff are very knowledgeable as well. The name fits "Animal Wellness World" and you won't regret trusting them with your pet.

Wonderful staff, and the doctors are always very caring and thorough. I have taken my animals here for years and have never been disappointed in their care.

Last year I was told my female daschund had Cushings. I was told to place her on an all natural diet, home-cooked. Whatever the blood marker for the disease, hers was 690 + (I was told normal was a little above 300). The male daschund was tracking slightly above normal. I was told to put them on a natural diet. I was given a recipe and told to purchase the supplemental powder (which of course you purchase from them every 2 months). I was so excited to get their blood work back after a year of making their food and giving the supplement. This time I saw a different vet. She never addressed the Cushings. Never called me with blood work results; yet sent me some automated response to the blood work. After such hard work with the dogs, I was so disappointed to not get a phone call back. I have no clue if Gracie's Cushings is gone, diminished or what not. In addition, the new vet stated that my female daschund has a heart murmur. She never addressed her age (which is somewhere between 14 and 15. They were both rescues and age was predetermined). She stated we needed to see a cardiologist, otherwise she would not clean her teeth without anesthesia. The previous year, both dogs' teeth were scaled without a problem. She never addressed the male daschund's teeth. Totally disgusted. Will not go back.

Amazing place. Very peaceful place for your pet m, especially with holistic treatments.

Excellent people they love animals

Amazing results when our 3 year old Rottweiler was suddenly paralyzed on hind legs. Sana wave and electro accupuncture and awesome staff there. Our Teddy is walking! And doing great!! Thank you guys so much.

I've been a client of Dr. Ragona for over a decade. The staff at AWC are top notch and exhibit a deep love for animals. Another thing about Dr. Ragona is her artistry. She is a very good artist with pastel and paint. Her animal paintings are magnificent!

From the beauty of the place to the kindness of the staff this is a place of healing. I like that they are kind and honest and I am seeing good results in my dog from the acupuncture.

Very friendly, thorough, informative and various treatment options are available!

Outstanding veterinary care, with an emphasis on care. This practices truly loves animals -- not just their furry and feathery little bodies, but also their souls. The entire property is soothing. The office always smells wonderful with some sort of essential oils diffusing. Highly recommend.

Great vibe... Dr. Donna is professional and extremely knowledgeable. She takes care of my sister by minding to her Havanese.

They are the best, Dr Ragona is so compassionate

We love Dr. Donna Ragona..best Vet ever,Maggie has seen her since she was 7wks old and she will be 10yrs old next Jan.

I can't even tell you how much I love Dr Ragona and the whole Animal Wellness World staff. Dr Ragona is so kind, caring and thoughtful. I no longer worry when it's time to take my dogs to the vet.
