Making sure your pet sees a veterinarian routine is essential to your animal’s well-being. Based on client feedback, we have come up with a list of great vets in Brevard County to help you with your search, including Emergency and 24-hour offices. Don’t worry; we didn’t forget our beloved Space Coast wildlife! If you happen upon an injured wild animal, there is a sanctuary to help care for them too!
Why do you need a great vet?
Building a great rapport between your vet and your pet can lead to a longer life for your pet. A veterinarian is more than a medical doctor for animals. He or she can address behavioral, emotional, social, and dental issues. All of this adds up to a healthier lifestyle for your pet.
Having pleasant yearly visits with your vet, starting as a puppy or kitten, can also ease anxiety and fear in pets that aren’t keen on going to the vet’s office. This can be helpful later on down the road if your pet needs to make a visit when they are having a health problem.
We believe finding the right veterinarian you and your pet feel comfortable with is important. If you are searching for a great veterinarian for your pet in Melbourne, Rockledge, Suntree, Viera, or even beachside, check out some recommendations from our Space Coast Pet family members! My personal vet for my pups is listed, too!

What if I can’t afford the expensive vet bills?
We understand how expensive veterinary care can be. The cost can add up even if you have healthy pets. Despite the financial impact, making your pet’s health and wellness a priority is absolutely worth it. Don’t look at it as a cost; look at it as an investment. Waiting too long to address issues can make the problem worse for your pet and more costly for you! Bringing your pet for regular checkups can increase your pet’s health and lead to a long active life for your pet. Isn’t that what we all want?
For some families, pet insurance can be a good option. With Healthy Paws, you can save up to 90% on your pet’s vet bills! If you use this link to apply, Healthy Paws will donate $25 to help homeless pets – how awesome is that?! So, you can protect your pet and help a homeless pet. Two paws up!
