Recommendations of this ilk should be considered “gold” by other cruisers. In fact, WHENEVER any of you have a good experience with any sort of service related business in a port of call, PLEASE SHARE this info by clicking the “Comment on This Posting/Marina/Anchorage/Bridge” link below or the “Click Here to Submit Cruising News” link found just about our red, vertically stacked menus on the right side of all Cruisers’ Net pages (except Chart View pages).

For cruisers in the Bradenton or Palmetto, FL area, with thier pets, we would like to highly recommend Dr. Jack E. Beal of Palmetto Animal Clinic, located on 220 7th Street West, Palmetto, FL 34221. Telephone number 941-722-2456 and his web site is: palmettoanimalclinic.com
Dr. Beal was so considerate of not only our two long-haired dashounds who had extensive surgery, but also of us, especially being on a boat. His staff is outstanding also. We both would consider driving from our home which is over 700 miles north of Palmetto, just to have our pets cared for by him and his staff. We hope this is helpful to others with pets in this area who need veternarian care.
