3 detained, 2 arrested and charged with operating unlicensed veterinary clinic in Southwest Miami-Dade

SOUTH MIAMI HEIGHTS — Three men were detained, two of whom were taken into custody after a search warrant was served at an illegal veterinarian clinic in Southwest Miami-Dade on Saturday.

Miami-Dade Police said officers served a search warrant at a home in the area of ​​11901 SW 185th Terrace, where they said an anonymous tipster told them about the clinic.

According to MDPD Det. Andre Martin, a former client called detectives sometime last year to report an “unlicensed veterinary clinic,” where the tipster said they brought their pet for an operation on its tail. However, the wounded tail got infected and the pet owner had to take it to an official veterinary clinic. Unfortunately, the pet had its tail amputated as a result of the injury it received.

Arrest affidavits on the men in custody stated that after a records check with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Resources was requested, the agency certified that there was “no evidence” that either of them ever had current or active veterinary licenses.

Martin said that when the warrant was served, investigators found about six to eight patients waiting outside the home to have their animals cared for. During this time,

Local vet clinic to accept new clients

Northwestern Veterinary Clinic says its application process will open on Feb. 7 at 5 pm, online only.

THUNDER BAY – A local veterinary clinic is opening its doors to new clients.

Northwestern Veterinary Hospital, in a post to its Facebook and website pages, says it will take online applications for new patients starting on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 5 pm

“A limited number of applications will be accepted. Once the maximum has been reached, the application process will become unavailable and you will need to try again the following month,” the post reads.

For some time most veterinary clinics in Thunder Bay have not been accepting new clients, forcing many with pets to travel to places like Dryden or Grand Marais, Minn. for pet care.

Applications are online only, and won’t be accepted by phone, email or in person.

“We are prioritizing pet owners who do not have local veterinary care. “The potential (owner) must therefore not be an active client of any other local veterinary facility,” the clinic owners posted on Facebook.

This includes Crossroads Veterinary Clinic, Highview Animal Clinic or Thunder Bay Veterinary Hospital.

Due to overwhelming demand, Dr. Kelly’s Surgical Unit, a veterinary clinic that boasts specialized pet care at affordable prices, has opened a brick-and-mortar location in Mesa.

The opening expands the clinic’s Valley footprint to a fourth location and the sixth in Arizona.

Dr. Kelly’s boasts of offering “low-cost surgical operations including dental work, spays and neuters, mass and tumor removals, bladder stones, and other procedures.”

“We take great pride in offering treatments and procedures at just a third of the typical price so that more pets can receive the high-quality care that they deserve,” said co-owner/CEO Douglas Patriquin.

“Many community members are faced with difficult financial decisions, and pet care is no exception,” he noted.

“There is a high demand for easily accessible, low-cost pet care, but unfortunately, many financially exploitative veterinary clinics prey on pet owners in need.”

Dr. Kelly’s said it is bringing “trustworthy care to Mesa, allowing pet parents to receive the treatments they want without having to make the considerable financial sacrifices requested by many traditional veterinarian offices.”

The new Mesa location will have an extensive surgical prep area, large surgical areas that accommodate two doctors and a recovery section for post-operative care.
