Trusted, Family-Run Vet Care
We are family-owned and operated—serving Tampa Bay for 30+ years
A Practice Built on Family, Not Franchises
Your pets aren't just animals—they're family. At Bearss Animal Hospital, we treat every dog and cat that walks through our door in Lutz, Florida, the way we'd want our own pets treated. Our hospital has served the Tampa Bay community for over 40 years, and since 1990, Dr. Antonio Flores, DVM, has been the hands-on veterinarian behind every diagnosis, every surgery, and every wellness visit.
We know pet owners across Tampa Bay are actively searching for a veterinary hospital that isn't part of a corporate chain. That's exactly what you'll find here: a locally owned, husband-and-wife-run practice where the person answering the phone actually knows your pet's name.
Compassionate Care, One Family to Another
At Bearss Animal Hospital, we understand how special your dog or cat is to your family, and we strive to treat every patient with the same care and attention we'd give our own pets. We proudly provide veterinary care to Lutz, Tampa, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Carrollwood, Odessa, and Northdale, Florida. We hope to welcome you and your pet to our office soon.

Unique Care for Unique Pets
At Bearss Animal Hospital, no two patients are the same, and neither is our approach. Whether you're caring for an energetic new puppy, a senior cat who needs a little extra help, or a longtime companion managing a chronic condition, our team tailors every visit to your pet's needs, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
That personalized approach is only possible because we're small by choice. Dr. Antonio Flores reviews every case himself, and Janette Flores gets to know each family that walks through our doors in Lutz, Florida. We're not rotating you through a revolving door of unfamiliar faces—you'll see the same team, visit after visit, year after year, which is exactly how pet care should feel.

The staff has always been incredibly helpful, kind, and informative. The vet remembered my skittish cat from two years ago and was so gentle and patient with her. It was an absolutely pleasure watching him work skillfully. I won't go to any other vet.

Mr. Flores and his staff are amazing. They are smart, courteous, and kind. We have been seeing Dr. Flores for almost two years, now. He is very upfront with you about what is going on and what needs to be done. No BS. Our scaredy cat loves him, and always has a pleasant visit. I am so thankful for this clinic for taking care of our fur babies. Milo and Eva love you guys, and so does the demon cat River, I guess haha.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My regular vet was not available and my 15 year old dog was sick and had to be seen by a vet. I called this clinic and I was able to come by the same day. Dr. Flores and his staff took the time to examine my dog, explained what was wrong and to treated my dog. The total cost was really reasonable. I highly recommend Dr. Flores and his staff. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and not overpriced.

The best bet clinic I've ever been to in all of my years of cat ownership. They really care a lot about your pets understanding that they are part of your family. I've been going here for some years now and there's no one else I'd trust more with my five cats health.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Simply the best! Excellent care with a family feel. Dr. Flores and his team provided top notch care, but not more than you need. They are happy to take the time to really listen to you and devise an appropriate and reasonable course of action for you and your pet. And they are always so sweet to the animals, my dog isn't afraid to go to the vet anymore! Stop looking, this is the Vet you've been looking for.
