Casanova Jackie DVM Gainesville, FL 32601

"I have been using Dr. Casanova for two years. She helped me with my 18 year old cat until his little heart gave out and he had to be peacefully put to sleep on the end of my bed. She also is treating my 13.5 year old pit mix who has a weak heart with some Chinese herbs for circulation and we are already seeing a difference in the first 48 hours. I greatly appreciate her insights and care of our pets."

"Dr Casanova has been our trusted Vet for over 10 years for 2+ generations of Cats and Dogs. We love her Holistic approach and cheerful and kind outlook, and her housecall service is such a convenience for us. Our animals love her and she keeps them healthy and happy!"

"I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Casanova. She worked with my German shepherd/lab mix who appeared to be in great pain. We were very concerned and were unsure what was wrong with her. Jackie spent over an hour working with our dog Nella, massaging certain areas and our dog appeared much calmer and relaxed afterwards. Dr. Casanova recommended some treatments for Nella and we could see the difference after a few weeks. Dr. Casanova is very caring with animals and spends a great deal of attention with them to provide appropriate care."

"I've been in Gainesville since 1998, and in my experience--Dr. Jackie is the BEST vet. in town by far. I read that other reviews, and I empathize with the authors about what happened to their animals. However, in my own experience, and in those of my friends; I have seen Dr. Jackie bring pets back from deathbeds that other vets. had given up on. She has always responded back to me within 24 hours of leaving a message, and has a great bedside manner with the dogs. As she is a mobile vet. and cannot fit a full laboratory in her truck, there are some tests that she cannot perform. In those rare instances, she has not hesitated to refer me to a clinic with the needed diagnostics. To the gentleman who referred to Dr. Jackie as "Ms. Casanova": I empathize with what happened to your dog, but the fact is that living things get sick and die. I had a Chow mix who lived to be nearly 14 BECAUSE of Dr. Jackie, and as hard as it was; she helped me let him go when it was time (natural causes). Cancer killed your pet not Dr. Jackie."

"I was sorry to read Jay's review. My experience with Jackie wasn't any better. About 5 years ago I had a rottweiler mix with cancer, and she kept recommending me feed him these homeopathic powder mixes that just made him not want to eat and did no good what-so-ever. In the end I realize I just made my dog's last days even more uncomfortable when he was dying of cancer. Then their was my pit-bull mix that had skin problems. My dog had major skin irritation and you could see how red her skin was through her short white fur. Ear infections followed, and after 3-4 visits with Ms Casanova things had just gotten worse. I took my dog to another vet, and the problems were solved immediately. As it turns out, simply sending some skin scrapings in to a lab would have solved this problem, but Ms Casanova did not do so. I do not think she is a competent vet..."
