Did you know that pets can suffer from allergies just like humans? However, unlike humans who show symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, pets usually exhibit allergic reactions through their skin. This can lead to allergies in pets often being overlooked or misdiagnosed as other illnesses.

Calusa Crossing Animal Hospital began serving the West Kendall community with small animal medicine and surgery in the spring of 1989 at 11266 SW 137 Ave. Calusa's staff is privileged to have some of the best clients and patients in the area. After 22 years, our clinic was faced with outgrowing the facility and began looking for a better location in West Kendall. We found our new animal hospital site at 12801 SW 134 Court and moved in July of 2011. Everyone is excited to have the convenience of private parking, state of the art equipment, and twice the space to share with our clients.
