I want to thank all the employees of this place, mainly Dr. Ramon because the treatment and service was spectacular, the doctor takes his time to inform you and explain everything that no longer exists in other places, they answered all my questions and treated My bird with all the love of a professional. Thank you all. I recommend this place 100%. Lilo says that this is going to be her doctor forever.

Dr. Dearmas is the only vet I would trust with my boys. He is attentive and communicates with you before and during any procedures. His staff makes you feel welcomed. They answer all your questions and are very knowledgeable. I also like that they give you a quote before proceeding which leaves room for no surprises when it comes to your vet bill. The clinic is extremely clean and they help accommodate your pets to avoid stress. Thank you all as always I had a great visit with you.

I have been going to Paws and Claws for 5 years. I live in Cutler Bay and I drive over 30 minutes to go here even though I have many veterinary offices near me. Everyone in this office is kind and truly loves animals. I have never felt nervous of what they are doing to my cat or dog when I drop them off or if what they are telling me my pet has is accurate. I once came back and they had my kitten covered in a blanket because she was cold and getting nervous. It’s the little things that make us, the owners, trust and feel comfortable. The veterinarian is also VERY experienced and is also a wildlife (not sure if that is the proper term) veterinarian. He is very compassionate and loving towards all the animals. I have had 0 issues here!

Went in for a follow up 3 time. I was not charged on prior visits. Last visit doctor did not see my pets due to hes was to busy he claims but yet charges for the visit because I didnt want to do the procedure to both of my pets. Because the condition was gone. Then I asked the front desk girl to have doc call me never did until I reversed the payment because he didnt see my pets. Then he called irate and was rude disrespectful. I will never recommend or go back to such a pig of an animal.

We had a great experience bringing our bunny in for his annual check up! We were very anxious to bring him in as he is extremely skittish and hates to be held. However, their team was SO accommodating and went the extra mile to make us and our bunny feel more comfortable. It took us a long time to find a vet in our area and we are so glad we brought him here. Thank you!!!

The doctor and the girl at the front were amazing with our puppy. They took the time to explain everything in detail as this is our first. Extremely satisfied with the service even thou we didn’t have an appt they made time for us. Definitely recommend.

EDIT AFTER RESPONSE: OWNER IS LYING IN THIS RESPONSE! DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!!!I shared my story below to warn others of my negative experience at this place, and I have no reason to lie to google reviews. the doctor on the other hand wants your money so of course he will claim I am lying... you can decide for yourself after reading my story below. i am SHOCKED at the level of unprofessionalism.I have had my ball python for about a year now and decided it was time for him to get checked up on. I signed up for an appointment online and received a text message full of instructions: click this link, select your appointment time and prepay here. I did exactly that, following the link to a screen with appointment times from 8am to 6pm. I thought it was wonderful that they were open later than my work so that I could make it on time. I booked an appointment for 4:45pm the next afternoon, paid $60 and received a confirmation email after booking.When the day arrived, I showed up to the appointment very excited for my babys first vet appointment. However, the employee at the front desk announced that they were closed, rather rudely. Without apology, she explained that the form that I was sent was just for prepay and not for booking actual appointments. When I tried to speak I was cut off. It seemed instead of kindly informing me and apologizing about the miscommunication, she was on the defense, saying they had tried to call me before I showed up and tell me they would be closed. Regardless, it was too late because I had booked the appointment the night before and received a confirmation email; I had been working all day with no access to my phone so I showed up anyway.She did not listen to my questions or concerns about why there was such a huge miscommunication or why they would send new clients a specific link to sign up for appointments if the clinic/doctor was not actually available for appointments at those times. Just because of how unhelpful and unpleasant that interaction was, I would rate this place 1 star or less.Instead of answering any questions I was pressured into booking another appointment on the spot. After I left I immediately canceled that appointment because of how distasteful the experience was, and in my flustered state I didnt realize i would be out of town that day. I called to get my money back and they refused, as their contract states they can keep the money if you cancel the appointment you rescheduled. I should have never rescheduled but they knew what they were doing.$60 spent and not one helpful or pleasant interaction, let alone an actual visit for my Cinnamon. very displeased and disappointed as this was my first experience at any vet. If you are looking to come to a vet for the first time, this place is NOT it!! read the rest of the 1 star reviews if you need any more proof

This is THE BEST PLACE to bring your exotic pet!!! 1000% recommended!! Beautiful clinic,Great Staff,Awesome Dr. ...the attention,the profesionalism and the love they give to your pet is priceless!!! Thank you so much for everything!! You guys are THE BEST!! Hammy and Gigi have THE BEST Dr. Thanks again for everything!!!

When I called the first time the experience was very pleasant. I was attended with courtesy and patience. Upon my first visit, the office was very clean, neat, and very presentable. I was helped with full attention, I received all the answers I had asked, and they made me feel at ease leaving my pet for the first time. The Veterinarian was very pleasant to talk to. He was patient, took his time answering my questions, he gave me extra information without any problems. My overall experience was wonderful and I highly recommend this place to others. This is my pets new medical center. Very satisfied with their service.

Amazing doc, good knowledges and awsome bedside manners. I love how all them treat my little one dog. I recomended 110%

The doctor and his team were extremely helpful and friendly! They explained to me in detail what they would do to help save my little Pichu. I am so glad I came in time and that they did their best to help my little bird. It is 100 percent worth the cost in my opinion as it’s very difficult to find a good hospital for birds. Not even a week later and Pichu is much healthier and more active thanks to the doctor and his wonderful team who were so kind and helpful to me. I’m very happy they could help! Thank you all so much!

So far I’ve come in with a chameleon and a BRB and the staff not only worked quick making me feel like my reptiles were a priority but they were also very friendly, Dr.Ramon and his staff are good people; knowledgeable and professional I’ll be coming here again if I need :)

My dog needed surgery and Dr. de Armas explained everything in detail regarding what to expect and answered all the questions I had.He has an excellent and caring staff and followed up several times after I brought my pet home to make sure all was well.I highly recommend him and his staff for their professional and knowledgeable care of my dog.

We took our Labrador to get an exam. He was given his remaining shots and medications. The veterinarian called to explain all the follow up care and answered all the relevant questions with empathy and professionalism. Glad we’ve found Paws and Claws and look forward to having them take care of our Cooper.

I’ve gone to this office for 7 years now and and I am always met with professionalism and attention. The quality of care is exceptional and you can tell they care both about your pet and family as a whole. Our dog, Charlie, has been going to this office since we got him as a pup and they have guided us very well, especially this being our first dog. We are so happy we got recommended to Dr. Ramon De Armas and so is Charlie!

This is a very bad vet, avoid at all costs. They charge outrageous prices and they use guilt tactics to try and bully you into paying for unnecessary services. They also prescribe drugs that are not approved by the FDA for the animal its being prescribed to. When my partner started asking questions, the doctor literally walked out of the room without saying another word.

The best #1 Doctor DeArmas for my doggy. Not only does my pet gets the best care, his service is outstanding. A very clean office and excellent staff. I want the best for my doggy and Paws and Claws exceeds my expectations of care and service. I highly recommend this medical center.

This place is amazing!! I made a last minute appointment for my dog who had injured his back. I was seen first thing in the morning. Every person I encountered at the office was sweet and made me and my pet feel completely comfortable. The receptionist was incredibly kind and answered all my questions before I got there. The veterinarian was very down to earth and explained to me in detail what needed to happen. At the end of the visit I took my pup home confident he had received the best care possible. Finally, their prices are incredibly reasonable and they don’t charge for anything unnecessary.

Always a pleasure to bring my babies ☺️

I have been bringing my parrot here for about a year now, and I can honestly say he is a lot healthier.

Weve taken both our dog and cat here for years and loved it. This past year things changed there. They hiked up prices to unreasonable levels. To take a lethargic cat in for bloodwork to see what was wrong and it was $600. We never even got a call back from vet to explain results. (Cat got better on her own)We took our dog there for a regular, routine yearly exam, annual tag and 3 month supply of flea meds and it too was $600. In the past that same exam would cost us $350. max. We wont be going there again unfortunately.

I am so happy and impressed by the level of service and care we received on Friday. Everyone in this office went above and beyond to assist my guinea pig and I; the front office staff is truly amazing, compassionate, and straight forward. Dr.DeArmas is one of the best vets Ive ever met. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns, reviewed my pets entire history, and genuinely took care with my pet. He explained everything to me in a manner I could understand and also understood financial constraints. This office is a godsend.

I had a pied ball python and I called, and I was able to schedule and appointment the next day . They exceed my expectations and took good care of her. Very clean and friendly and caring staff. I highly recommend this place .

Very friendly staff and doctor, seem to know what they are talking about.

For the most part I dont usually write reviews but I had such a great experience with Paws and Claws that I wanted to share it with other people looking for a good vetinarian. My first experience was when I called to see if I could get an appointment the same day. I was greeted by Jackie who really understands customer service. She was pleasant, very helpful and got me in within an hour. She kept me informed since I had to drop him off due to Covid restrictions. They had in place all covid precautions. What I was most impressed with is that Dr de Armas took the time to personally meet me and explain in detail what he did to Rocky. He is very knowledgeable and polite. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recomend Paw and Claws. Ps. Rocky liked his experience also.

ThE BEST veterinarian in South Florida! I was lucky to get a late appointment yesterday for my dog that was sick! I was in urgent need of a facility for an ultrasound because another veterinarian wanted to plan a piometra surgery for my dog and I insisted saying that she may be pregnant, that we needed an ultrasound to make such a huge decision. They only had x rays in their facility that didn’t show any puppies, it was too early in time to be able see them. Well, the Paws and Claws Medical Center have their own ultrasound machine and the ultrasound proved she IS pregnant and has NO piometra. She is on antibiotics and probiotics treating the diarrhea and I’m very pleased we drove 60 km to meet this wonderful staff. God bless these professionals that REALLY care about our babies! 🙏🏼❤️

The doctor and staff are super professional and caring. Yes, exotic pets are expensive, but you can be confident that theyll take care of your pets in the best way possible.

We brought in our blue tongue skink and boa for wellness checks, the services provided were affordable and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

After doing research throughout South Florida, and asking for recommendations, Paws and Claws was my decision,as the owner of a baby African Grey needing a checkup after getting it from the breeder. Dr De Armas and his crew did a great job as explaining procedures and what was all entitled in the process of dealing with such delicate patient. Thank you again! Leti and I look forward to being part of the PawsnClaws family of happy pets.

Recently just rescued a baby cockatiel and they managed to squeeze me in a next day appointment due to the situation. :) Office staff are kind and friendly and they will work with you about the services needed. I like how they let me know the prices beforehand because boy howdy, everyone knows how pricey bird care can be. Vet called me to ask questions and let me know what was going on. It’s very clear they care about the animals! I appreciate the time they took or answer my own questions as well.

If I could, I would give this place no stars at all. Never ask the front desk lady about any information “she has no idea” and she would say it really loud to you and would not let you talk. It’s so frustrating to go get your pet checked and pay a lot of money for it and having to wait outside for hours, no place to sit... they could not tell me how much time would it take and didn’t let me talk to the vet. He called me on the phone to let me know he was done and basically hang up on me. It’s really hard to find a vet that would take rabbits and it’s really expensive but I would not recommend this place. I honestly think that the only reason they have good reviews is because they give $100, they literally let you know on the receipt.

I have 3 bunnies that needed checkups and pricing on the neutering and spaying. The ladies in the front desk answered all my questions and were so kind. I was able to meet with the Doctor for information on neutering and he was patient with me on all questions regarding the surgery. Paws and Claws is the best place to take your pet. They are attentive and caring and make you feel like your pet is in the right hands.

I had an emergency situation with my bird (cockatiel) and they were able to see her immediately, answer all my questions, and, most importantly, take amazing care of my little Ziggy! They are very nice, quick, and affordable. I will definitely be using them from now on!

Best doctor ever ! I’m so glad I have the best exotic animal doctor i could’ve ever asked for ! The office staff is amazing as well! They care for my bunny and will be my exotic animal doctor forever :)

This week was my first time bringing in my Bearded Dragon to the vet. I was very concerned about him and I wasnt too hopeful about his recovery. Fortunately, the Doctor and the nurses provided him with incredible care that began to show results just a day later. I would entirely recommend this Veterinarian as I truly appreciate the services theyve provided to my dragon and restoring my hope that my pet will feel better.

Doctor De Armas took great care of my dear Clementine bunny girl. She needed emergency surgery and he and his assistants were very responsive. They got her in to the office quickly, were thorough with her care, and clearly explained to me what I needed to do when I took her home. It was a great experience. We felt very well taken care of.

Dr. Damon did a fantastic job, very attentive. Also the front desk receptionist Kiana was very nice and helpful.

I really enjoyed the service from the staff! They really cared for my hamster 🐹! Will I recommend to others most definitely!

Ive had so much difficulty with south Florida vets for years. My co-worker recommended Paws and Claws after he had his own issues with his existing vet and took his sugar gliders to Paws and Claws. So far very happy with the care and attention to my ferret and the communication with me. The Dr. explained the diagnosis and treatment plan and advised me that he is available via text and WhatsApp even after hours for emergency. Most vets just refer you to someone else after hours. Also, they have strict covid protocols. Which is comforting.

GO TO COUNTRY CLUB ANIMAL HOSPITAL INSTEAD!!!If you’re thinking of bringing your pet here, just read the 1 star reviews and look at the RESPONSES of Dr. Armas to his unsatisfied customers. Super snarky and unprofessional imo. I think that should tell you enough about the type of person he is and the type of service you can expect from this establishment.My boyfriend brought his dog here and needless to say it was a horrible experience. The staff doesn’t really care about anything other than making money off your pet.Edit: My reply to Paws&ClawsAlthough it was not my dog, I accompanied him and therefore the negative experience was a shared one. Let’s forget the negative experience we had altogether, just based off the way you reply to customers with attitude and condescension is enough for me to rate your business 1 star. I’d rate zero stars if possible. It is unprofessional and tasteless in my opinion. Your side of the story doesn’t matter. Your company gives off the air of entitlement and feigned superiority in how you reply to dissatisfied customers. For that, I will never recommend you and will advise others of that as well. And that’s without taking into account the subpar service not worth the price you charge. I’m not cheap and I’m willing to blow money when it’s worth it. You, unfortunately, are not worth it.

I want to start by saying thank you to Dr. de Armas. He is truly a professional , kind knowledgeable doctor. My dog Muffy had an emergency last Thursday where she couldn’t hold her self up and her eyes where spinning. We rushed her to an emergency hospital. They could not be sure what exactly had happened to my dog but vestibular disease was a possibility (dog vertigo). I had a lot of confusion on what was the best thing to do for my beloved Muffy. I took her out of the hospital and brought her to Dr. de armas who was able to explain to me her condition and diagnose the high probability of what happened once he saw her. He said it was either a stroke, blood clot or brain tumor. He did an ultrasound and discovered she had a mass that had grown double its size from last year. I knew there was our answer and we knew the best thing was to put Muffy to rest. I appreciate this doctor so much because in a difficult time when you don’t have answers you need a knowledgeable and kind person to walk you through making a right decision for your pet. I will recommend this doctor to anyone.

Overall good experience. Last week I brought in my turtle that was rescued with an injured eye and the staff was very nice and allowed me to bring him in a few hours after I called. They prescribed him with the appropriate drops and his eye appears to be doing better. I will continue to bring my turtle here for checkups.

They are all so sweet and amazing. From Jackie to Dr. De Armas. They were there for us during a difficult time with our boy Tyson. Thank you. You all are amazing.

I brought my hamster here for a checkup on his eye (turns out he had pinkeye) and upon checking him out they discovered he also had a mouth infection I wasn’t aware of. I’m very happy the doctor checked my baby everywhere and not just where I needed him to. I was given the medicine at the end of the visit with very clear instructions and demonstrations on how to administer them. When I first made the appointment online I received a confirmation call about 3 hours later and it was a very quick and easy process. I love that I was emailed a confirmation for my first appointment, the invoice, and my secondary checkup appointment. Kudos for their excellent communication as well as social distancing!

Paws and Claws Medical CenterDr. Ramon de Armas (Owner) and Senior Vet3858 SW 137 Avenue,Miami, FL 33175On late December 2020, one of the white pigeons living in my balcony had an accident where she receive a bad cut under the crop area. Realizing the severity of the wound I took the bird I immediately started searching for a avian veterinary. Most of the ones I found would not see the pigeon due to it being more of a fowl than an exotic bird. Pigeon are often referred to as pests. I called Paws and Claws clinic as an emergency situation and the receptionist inform me that they would see the bird. I drove for quite a distance and finally arrived at the clinic. The pigeon was was placed in an oxygen chamber because of difficulty breathing, while I filled the paper work. I completed my information and handed the paper to the lady attending to me which took them in to doctor Ramon de Armas. A while later I was presented with an estimate of nearly $700 in order to continue attending the bird. That was an unexpected amount and being a low income person I just dint have that amount with me at the time. I had taken all I had available at the time which was $200 and offered to leave a down payment and make a later payment to cover the cost. My main concern was to save the birds life. I was flat out refused the offer and was told the amount needed to be paid in full at time of service. After pleading to the staff to allow me to work on payments and getting no where, I ask to speak to the doctor. Mr. Ramon de Armas came out and informed me he could not attend to the bird if I dint have the money and that they did not accept partial payments. I was hit by lightning since I knew the bird would die, obviously DR. Ramons priority was the money and clearly not saving the animals life. An unfortunate case of a businessman first and doctor later personality. I had no choice than to ask for the bird back, which was taken off the oxygen chamber and immediately started gasping for air again. I was actually told that they would do me a favor and not charge me for the time the bird used the oxygen chamber, WoW! When I got home I tried several other county animal agencies but all they offer was to euthanize the bird. By now the bird was in a heavy breathing state, gasping for air, not eating or drinking and I knew it was too late to save him. I tried again to see if there was anyway I could do something and thought about trying to saw the wound myself but I didnt have the knowledge nor the equipment to do so and in desperation I put him back in the cage. I then pray that the animal would die quickly and with the least of suffering. The bird lasted throughout the rest of that day and part of the night. It was 1:00 AM when I last looked at the clock, I had not been able to sleep due to the desperate, heavy, gasping sound of the bird. I finally just fell to sleep. The next day I found the white I found I found her dead, with her beak clamped tightly to one of the cages bars, as if a desperate attempt to breathe became her last attempt for life. I have been an animal , activist and have been involved in many animal and ecosystem events, have filled thousand of petitions and sent thousand of letters to different governments, corporations and institutions in behalf of animals welfare. This is not the first time where an animal in my possession have died, but this one was a very disturbing situation which I still think about in desperation. All I can think is how can someone has the power to save a creatures life and refuse to do so in behalf of the money. I understand doctors and veterinarians pay heavy utility bills but saving an animal life for the sake of compassion and respect to the profession every once in a while is good for the soul and pleasing to God. I would have paid the required money anyway and would have signed any legal document to assure my commitment to pay. Rest in peace, unfortunate creature

Ive been looking for a vet for my rabbit. So glad I found this place. The staff was very attentive and understanding. I was scared to neuter my rabbit, and they did such a great job explaining it, comforting me before and after the procedure. Due to social distancing I wasn’t able to see Dr. De Armas but he made sure to call me and answer any questions i had. The vet tech that helped me is very nice and professional. They are by far the most affordable clinic for exotic animals. I was estimated $500 at another clinic to do the same procedure WITHOUT antibiotics. If you have a rabbit, I would blindly recommend them!!! Thank you for everything!

Very satisfied with the care that was rendered to my fur baby. All staff was very attentive and caring, specially Jackie. Loved how clean the office was and how the whole process was simple from start to finish. Highly recommend them!!!

I recently took my German shepherd to do a canine tooth extraction. I’m so grateful to them. Before Dr. DeArmas even mentioned about the procedure, he recommended a vet dentistry in Weston fl. If you’re reading this, I appreciate the honesty and humbleness. He clarified that they’re much more experienced in this field and that they do root canal procedures. Either way, I knew my dog was more than likely going to need to do an extraction based on how her tooth looked.I told them I want them to do it and they immediately had it done. I also want to thank Jackie! She was so polite and happy to help. She’s really one of a kind.

My dog had been vomiting for a few days so I took him to Paws and Claws. The doctor was very informative and provided in detail the necessary steps that need to be taken to care for our dog. We are pleased with how they greeted and attended us. Highly recommend.

This office has been phenomenal... they saw me us without hesitation when i called as an urgent visit. They are super compassionate and pleasant to work with. And cleanliness is outstanding. Highly recommend this vet office.

Thank you Doctor for having the time, respect and love you have for your patients, thanks also to your staf for being so kind and dedicated, I was desperate for the health situation of my little Koska and you were an Angel at this time , I hope that the final results for her are good and that she does not need surgical intervention, I recommend 100% this Veterinary clinic, because they demonstrate how professional and loving they are with each little angel that arrives no matter what species it is. Never lose your compassion and your love for these little beings who share the planet with us. Thank you Dr. de Armas!!

It was a really good experience with the Dr that took care of my birds. He was professional and helpful.The only issue I had was a long waiting of two hours seating in my car.

I want to thank the staff for taking care of our buddy. The whole process was super easy and you can tell they really care about their patients! Thanks again!

I took my pet Cockatiel Feather here for the first time & even though we’re dealing with quarantine at the moment they were extremely attentive. I felt safe throughout all interactions and Feather was truly taken care of. Great quality service will be coming back here!

Excellent place, special treatment with patients, if you want to feel that your pet has a chance to get better up to it, recommend this clinic,Thank you

Great experience how professional and friendly every body are. I am helping a duck that was hit by a car, I can see they really care for the well-being of this wild bird.

Our guinea pig suddenly developed a painful, golf ball-sized growth in his throat. Another vet told us guinea pigs require the attention of exotic animal vets and referred us to a location on US1, but we found Paws and Claws using Google Maps as a closer option. So glad we did. Dr. de Armas and his staff run an amazingly professional shop, are incredibly friendly/courteous, treat their patients with care and dignity at par with that of family members, and run a shop (front and back - I saw it all) thats so unbelievably clean and organized it can only be described as sterile. Our cavie came out of surgery just fine and with a healthy appetite. I saw a couple of complaints about prices and can only say the following: (1) The shop, equipment, staff, supplies, medications, etc. all cost the business money and it also needs to make a fair profit; (2) If it was you or your child that was in need of medical attention, you would most likely want to receive treatment in this exact environment; (3) There was no pressure or upselling -- the doctor was very generous with his time and explanations, and also with exploring options with clients. For example, he strongly recommended a surgery to remove the abscess after identifying what it was, but after removing it agreed it sending it off to a lab for pathology testing would represent an unnecessary expense; (4) In my experience similar services at any Banfield cost at least as much if not more. If you legitimately care about your critters and understand them to be family, we can vouch for Paws and Claws and strongly recommend you pay them a visit/draw your own conclusions.

The experience was great, they are doing their best under the current circumstances with Covid-19. The way you guys use all forms of social media available to communicate with the patients pet parents is outstanding! I got pics of my cats inner ears in my Whatsapp & an estimate to approve in my email. Thank you Paws & Claws for your careand support!

I went into the clinic very anxious and unsure with my Pacific Parrotlet , no idea if she was alright or not. Dr de Armas attended me immediately without appointment and 12 minutes after the closing time. He was very knowledge and positive and very passionate about his work, they told me every detail, my little bird had a overly large or malformed egg ( Egg Binding Dystocia ) If I had waited any longer she would have died. They take care their patients with true love. Certainly this is the place to take your pet.

Absolutely amazing and above and beyond!I was looking for an exotics veterinarian for my hamster and saw this office had reviews mentioning hamsters. For my last hamster, the veterinarian who saw him basically treated him with the same meds as cats and dogs just at much lower doses.I called to schedule my appointment in a panic and so worried about my little guy. The staff answered the phone promptly this morning and got me scheduled the same day.Upon arrival, the staff were very helpful through explaining the paperwork and process. I was thrilled by the consent about how exotic animals hide their illness as a survival instinct so when we notice illness they require extra care and time to be examined.Dr. Ramon de Armas was very informed about hamsters and asked questions about a variety of topics that I did not think about even possibly being relevant. He even looked at pictures of how the condition had progressed the past couple of months. Due to COVID-19 regulations, I was unable to be in the exam room but still felt the staff did a great job explaining the exam results and treatments.Lastly, I think the prices were more than reasonable, and the service was excellent!

Dr. De Armas and staff were extremely helpful during the emergency my family was experiencing with our rabbit Willow. Their knowledge and calming way of helping us get through what occurred was admirable. We’re still in the recuperating process and want to publicly Thank Paws and Claws Medical Center for guiding us along the way in Willows recovery.

Don’t go there, they pay for the good reviews

Paws and Claws is by far one of the best veterinary clinics I have been to. The veterinarian absolutely cares for his patients and takes his time to answer all of our questions. His staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The office is impeccably clean and fully stocked with the necessary medical equipment. I definitely recommend Paws and Claws to pet owners of all kinds from dogs and cats to ferrets, birds and reptiles.

Highly recommended as you can see from my rating, Dr. is very knowledgeable, understanding and with the patience of an angel. Office staff a very attentive and welcoming. Office is super clean and modern.

Outstanding service, the doctor amazing and sweet! The clinic super clean!! I couldn’t find a avian vet in Miami that is reasonable in price. God bless this clinic, they really want to help!! I recommend it with my eyes close. 🙏🌷

Charges $60 for an exam and doesn’t even tell you a diagnosis unless you pay for it how sad :(

Phenomenal vet! I first came here almost a decade ago with my first puppy, Marley, and this vet couldnt have been sweeter to both my new dog and me. We recently adopted a six year old kitty who is quite overweight and I remembered what a great experience I had as a teen being attended at this office and immediately told my husband we should make the drive to have her seen by this vet. We werent disappointed; the office, the staff, and the vet are knowledgeable, professional, and kind. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Paws and Claws is the best veterinarian! I had an emergency with my parakeet, he all of a sudden started having a seizure so randomly. Then I found online one of the top places to go. When I called they said to bring him in even though they were closing in 30 minutes. The nurses and doctor were so kind and helpful. Gave all the medications needed for that same day. They even called the next morning to see how he was doing. I highly recommend for taking your pets here!!

Doctor De Armas was extremely professional and knowledgeable and performed a cloacal prolapse surgery on my bird. She has been doing very well and we are very pleased with the outcome thus far. The staff has excellent customer service! Jackie is very kind and the assistant is also excellent! I highly recommend this vet for birds ! A+ customer service!

My dog had a tumor which I was told was not operable because of Her age. I took her to Paws and Claws and to my suprises, he said best course is to operate. The Dr. Was very professional and clear on how he would do the operation.After bringing her home. I received a follow up call everyday on how she was doing.I recommend taking your furry family member to Paws and Claws, you will not regret it.

After moving to Miami this is our third Vet in a few weeks. And far the best! After I got ripped of in two places I started to loose my faith in finding a good and reasonable priced vet in Miami. Until I got here!I love this office and so does Bailey (our yellow lab)!!!

I have a question do yall do hamster check-ups ? and what would te pricing be ?

Staff is very nice and vet is very attentive. Caring of the well-being of my bird.

The office was great. The receptionist was the reason we chose this office and boy am I glad. The care was supurb ! Will use again for all of my animals now. He treated my bearded dragon.

High Tech Animal Hospital at a very fair price. Friendly and caring staff, I also recommend there boarding services. Most important, the Dr. is patient and takes his time with you and your critter, explaining in full detail the examination, and treatment options. For Example on one of my dogs, an 18 year old who walked in with her head tilted, I was able to see the ear examination, her ear canal, on a TV screen as it was being done, we started the Doctor started with a basic treatment plan, and if that was not a solution we would head move on to the next. This means, he does not take advantage of cost, but rather proceeds with the first possible solution before going into unnecessary testing or cost. LOVE THIS. His boarding excellent! Highly recommend:)

I called today for my dog’s first appointment with this office. They have wonderful customer service. They assisted me in a very caring and professional manner.

I took my dog once to this vet because we noticed their was something wrong with him kidney and they gave him a bunch of medicine that was not for his condition which we ended up paying a bunch of money for. He ended up passing away and we then took his medical record to another vet to see what happened and they told us that whatever this vet gave him did not help him at all with his problem that he had

Took Hershey our hamster because she wasn’t acting herself and her tail was infected and she was swollen in her belly. They took care of her really good and kept me updated due to the fact we had to be in the car due to COVID-19. I will continue coming here. Very satisfied with their professionalalism and service. A+ 👍🏻 Thanks Paws and Claws

Very experienced doctor and kind staff. A bit overpriced, especially for medication, but I trust Dr. De Armas is one of the best in the region. He proved that while helping my dogs to recover from very tough situations. I’ll continue coming back.

This a great pet clinic. All of the staff and the vet were extremely kind, courteous and helpful. They listened and took the time with our pet. They scheduled us I. And we were seen promptly. I highly recommend them

Most amazing pet clinic I’ve been to! They had such a friendly and caring staff. The doctor was also was kind and explained everything to full detail and helps you understand. The place itself is very organized and clean. You don’t see very often vets taking full interest in your pet, but at this clinic they do. I’ve had so many animals and in all my years of going to different clinics , this is one I want to stick with. Completely recommend it and I will be taking my other pets and they don’t only deal with cats and dogs but rabbits too. My rabbit had gotten scratched on the eye and they helped me out so much. Thank you so much for the excellent service.

I found paws and claws on google called and took him on an emergency basis. They checked him out took xrays and found the problem, they gave me the medication neededAnd hopefully the problem should be redolved.I definitely recommend this doctor and look forward to taking my dog back if needed.

Great service! They gave me the appointment very quickly ; very friendly, kind and caring with my bird. I was impressed with a follow up call the next day asking how by bird was doing...amazing! Would definitely recommend this vet

I brought in a snake that was displaying mild neurological issues. A slight head wobble when stressed. The doctor gave me some vitamin supplements to give the animal orally. After a few doses the snake was acting normal. But the day I brought in the snake I also brought in a fecal. The doctor sent it out for testing and the next day called me saying that they had found parasites. The office told me that they would have meds for me by the end of the day. But here I am almost two weeks later with a dead snake and no medication even after daily phone calls. I would not recommend this office.

I took my goffin cockatoo to the dr. The staff was great and even though I didnt go in, the Dr. Phoned me and gave me a rundown of the situation(because of covid)... I waited in my car and waited on my birdie..The girls brought him to the car, and we left Happily Ever After!!!! Thanks Doc..

We did not had a good experience with this doctor. Charged us over $800.00 for unnecessary things when he new the chances our bird was going to die was high and the bird died the same day. Not right. Be aware.

First appointment was great, vet & team seems skilled; they advised I pay a lump sum ($1454) to have a few of my dogs teeth extracted ASAP. I agreed, and they took him in immediately to begin the procedure and said they’d call me to let me know when done. Didn’t get a call by the latest time they said they would be done by, nor any updates, so I called (5 1/2 hrs later) and they said yeah you can come get him he’s done. How long he’d been done for, I have no idea. Turns out they had to cut into his gums to remove the root, and put in stitches (they didn’t specify where/which tooth) so I would now need to have them removed two weeks later — but they made no attempt to schedule my appointment, and didn’t advise that it would be an extra cost on top of my already large fee. They started 2 IV’s, one of which they covered with a roll of tape (?!) rather than gauze which stuck to all of the hair on his wrist and took 2 days to remove, causing my dog unnecessary pain & infection risk. They have a text number that you can contact, which is very convenient, but in our conversations (where they pushed me to schedule an appointment for an allergy injection that he had literally received from them a week prior) I inquired 2 separate times regarding the scheduling of the suture removal, due Friday, to which I got no response. I also requested for his records to be forwarded to me since I’m moving to California, to which they responded that they would but didn’t do either. I was busy with school & work, and only realized on Saturday that I never got a response about an appointment, so called & they told me I could bring him in immediately. Then, when I got there said that since it’s Saturday they would be unable to sedate him in order to remove the stitches, and it was only then that they advised me it would be an extra fee anyways and since I’ll be moving to California on Monday I should just pay another vet over there to have them removed. So now I have to find & pay another vet a consultation fee, plus the cost of sedation and the cost for removal of the stitches — which was supposed to be included in my lump sum — in the middle of the move. Could just be my luck that I had such a bad experience, but their impartiality to the matter as well as the other things I’ve stated bothered me enough to write this review.EDIT:Changed to 1 star after the argumentative & exaggerated response from a clearly unprofessional vet. I wasnt even told how many teeth were removed, let alone the location of the sutures, & got no information other than what I stated in my review. I always call for appointments prior to showing up, and was told to come in at the time that I did. Had I received a follow-up appointment the first 2 times I requested it, I would have added it to my agenda and been there, but that obviously didnt happen. Perhaps the reason for the reviews complaining of long wait times is that you run your practice as a come in whenever you please basis, & that is why you didnt respond to my messages requesting an appointment. When you quote a person a lump number for a procedure such as teeth removal, its expected that cover the follow-up -- which was mandated in the contract I signed, and not provided in spite of my calling ahead & being at the clinic. At no point was I advised that sedation would be required to remove the sutures, and of course services should be paid for but as stated I paid an already-large sum of nearly $1500 to have a couple of a very small dogs teeth removed, and should have been told of any surprise fees on the day I went to pick him up. The vet didnt even have the decency to come out and advise me of his rational for sending us away, nor do the follow-up exam that was mandated for the procedure -- rather, he sent the vet tech to tell me and my dog to go home without so much as laying eyes on him after having me come all the way to the clinic. As I said, it wasnt so much one big thing as several small things that caused me to give you the review I posted, and youve made me very glad that I did.

This vet is the best vet in all Miami. He not only specializes in cats and dogs but in Rabbits as well. Treating my lops rabbit extremely well and diagnosing his ear infection. Very affordable and friendly environment. I’ve been to a few vets for my rabbit and honestly he’s the best experience I’ve had. I was recommended by a friend that had a eye removal surgery done on her rabbits eye and it was a total success. I recommend this vet to everyone.

Very clean clinic and the vet is very knowledgeable. Unfortunately 3 things stood out in our visit with Joni that prevented us from going back. First being the wait time. We were understanding that there was an emergency the day that we were there with a bearded dragon, yet what could’ve been a 30 minute trip turned into 4 hours of mostly waiting. Second, the vet was very confident and knowledgeable however when speaking with the assistant she had a hard time answering our questions and was nervous when we were giving some pushback on the treatments the doctor was recommending. Lastly, pricing was very high for us. Coming from 2 vets that offered similar treatments; pricing at this vet was quoted as triple the price. He explained there are things he was giving us that they didn’t, however the end result for us was the same. It just felt like there was little thought on his part giving us very pricey options when our dog is 170 pounds. (Almost $400 for 1 injection that lasts 2 weeks)We ended up finding a new vet for our follow up appointment and we felt a lot more comfortable. She did not speak negatively on what was done at this clinic as everything is high quality; however she felt injections on the size dog we have is very unreasonable considering the price difference between injections and oral medication.The office was very good with last minute schedule changes as we had to cancel follow up appointments due to our schedules; yet in the end we decided that going back and going through different trials of treatments for our pups skin condition was too costly at this clinic. We were willing to overlook the other negatives; yet the doctor did not make much of an attempt to accommodate our concerns with treatment pricing. Rather than making us feel comfortable and trying to understand where we were coming from, we felt attacked when we would give our opinion.Vets can be a hit or miss. What works for one person may not work for another. We ended up finding a vet that is what we were looking for and feel comfortable. I would recommend trying this clinic and forming your own opinion. This was just our experience.Kind Regards.

Dr. Ramon de Armas and his team are amazing. Their professionalism and compassion for our pets are makes them a great choice when your pet need vet care.

I am very happy with their Vet care. I took my ferret Niki there for a check up and everyone was super friendly and professional. The Vet was an expert and very dedicated. I will continue to use their services.

I am very glad we got sentto Paws and Claws to have Mr. Quack checked out. He arrived in a very bad condition and the Dr. was very professional, welcoming and kind. Romina at the Front Desk was very effective and diligent in helping us with the check-in and check- out. The Dr.’s assistant was very gentle and helpful during our visit. Our overall experience at Paws and Claws has been a very good one. We highly recommend it ;)

I want to start off by stating the receptionist in the front office and the nurse whom assisted were very sweet, nice, and professional. I can not say the same for the Vet whom saw my little princess. First time being at this establishment I would think the Vet would have the courtesy to come out and at least introduce himself. None of this happened which okay I understand and gave it a pass. The reason for a two star rating was because the website had misinformation about charges and bills. The website says and indicates their COVID-19 worries but NOWHERE does it say their prices will change due to COVID. The Only thing more disrespectful Is sendIng messages thru the nurse back and forth without speaking to me directly. $75 and $650 is a BIG difference. To tell me that they had called the web designer to have their website update and that the price will be higher because of COVID isn’t my fault and honoring the price is what should have been done. Dr. De Armas you are very unprofessional. I have proof and images, which have been uploaded. With your response and pettiness of saying what my dog had which by the way was not communicated to me directly ( again unprofessional) shows what kinda Vet this Man is. Images have been uploaded.

We were giving an estimate, when we picked up our dog, tje amount was 4 times the estimate. The dog apparently had nothing, they took 9 days to report the results from the biopsy. The Dr. Did not even gather time to listen to the dogs problem, he just took him in. I just cant take it. If you need a vet DO NOT USE HIS SERVICES. AWFUL.

Paws and Claws is the best Vet Ive been to. Their staff is amazing, kind, and dedicated to finding a cure for any problem your pet has! Awesome place and they take the time to explain to you in full detail the best way to help your pet.

When my parrots vet retired, I had to look for a new one. I found Dr. De Armas on the Association of Avian Vets home page. I wanted to be sure to get an avian vet as there are various avian issues that a regular vet may not pick up on. Of course going to a new vet, I was a little nervous, but those fears disappeared once I arrived. Dr. Armas and his staff kept me up to date with the progress of the appointment and the health of my feathered family member. At the time of this review, we are still in Phase I of the Covid protocol which requires veteranary practices to have curbside drop off. As the owner of a pets taking them to maintain their health, it is natural to want to be with them in the vets office, however, the protocol is to help protect your pet as well as you. The office for me was a drive from my home over 9 miles away, but was worth the drive. Thank you Paws and Claws.

I came in with my 3 year old dog that I adopted 2 weeks ago for a free check up from the county and because she came from the adoption center with an eye issue. We brought her in and the receptionist was super sweet and friendly and was also friendly to our dog so she was awesome. But as soon as we got in the back room, the vet assistant barely asked any questions and didn’t do any check up on our dog. Didn’t check her heart or nails or anything else. He didn’t even touch our dog or say anything to her. Then we went to the back room and the vet didn’t even greet us or tell us his name. He just asked our dogs name and out of no where the vet assistant plopped her up on the table with out warning. The vet started rudely asking where we got her from, etc. Then he proceeded to start checking out her eye, he didn’t even check anything else and I brought her in for this “free check up”. He put a muzzle on her with out telling us anything about what was going on, he was just spraying some liquid in her eye and kept complaining “I can’t work with her like this” we didn’t even know what was going on still or at any point. She tried being aggressive, rightfully so, cause she’s an animal in pain and he patted her on the head multiple times super hard and said “no biting” even though she had a muzzle on.I was hugging my girlfriend because she was obviously uncomfortable seeing our dog in pain. The vet told us that we were acting as if something bad was gonna happen, that we were “tense”. Obviously anyone would be a bit worried when they have no idea what’s going on with their dog in pain. He then went on to say he was gonna sedate her because he couldn’t handle her and we told him that we would have the money a few hours later that a credit card replacement was coming later. He took off his gloves and said “well you can come back when you have the card then” and put our dog down off the table in a second. They didn’t even clean her eye of the liquid he put in it or still didn’t do our FREE CHECK UP. On top of that we were charged $20 for the liquid in her eye which they didn’t let us know about in the first part.This is the worst veterinarian experience I have ever had and it is shocking that this guy is a vet. Very rude to us and an innocent animal. He didn’t care about anything but only had money on his mind, I swore I could see dollar signs in his eyes. I have no clue how this place has 4.8 stars. I will not be coming back here ever again and I advise anyone bringing their dog not to bring them to this place.

My cat was previously at an animal hospital with a urinary block where they mistreated him. He was covered in his pee for days and I didnt know any better because they explained it was procedure. Finally, I received the right advice from a friend and took him to Paws and Claws - they have saved my little guys life. Nox is so loved at the medical center and taken care of properly. The doctor is supremely kind and knowledgeable; never fails to go the extra mile and cover all of his bases to make certain that his patients are taken care of.

Love them!!! At Mus follow up. The staff is great and always gives my fur baby much love at her appointments. They are a bit more price wise then what I was used to at my old vet but this clinic is so worth it the little extra. They make sure I understood everything about Mus visits, results, and treatment. Definitely my go to vet for the fur babies. I recommend them to everyone. (edited because I had typos.)

Paws and Claws is great. The staff if friendly and the doctor takes his time to explain everything. One of the best clinics that I have been to clean, medical equipment looks new and up to date, staff is very friendly.Thanks for helping us and helping my little max in his last moments, they will always be in my heart, Thanks 10*
