Trips to the beach. Quiet nuzzling on the couch. A lifetime of love, affection and joy. Your pet means everything to you. And that means everything to us.

Gold-Standard
When you love a pet like family, you need to know that they have the best care there is. Making that a reality for you is why we built Furry Friends. This is a higher quality of veterinary medicine. From the thoroughness of our exams, to the level of diagnostics employed, to the sophistication of our technology, to the training and commitment of our team… here, you only get the best.

Wellness
We believe, passionately, in helping your pet live the longest, happiest life by your side possible. That is why we prioritize preventive medicine. With regular wellness exams, we can help you navigate the entire world of pet ownership. We can catch problems in their infancy, when they are easiest to treat. And we can catch the subtle signs of pain and discomfort. Because you and your pet deserve no less.

Treatment
If your pet develops a health issue, we will make sure they have the best care possible. Our team uses cutting-edge diagnostics to pinpoint the source of illness, and our treatment protocols are truly a cut above. Discovering that your pet has a health issue can be scary. Having this kind of team behind you makes it a little less so.
We’ll love your pet like you do.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying…
Great people and amazing place! The service and care was top notch!
Very professional and amazing staff! Jackson is in good hands and look forward to coming back.
Dr. Maedel is one of the most caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable vets I have ever met! She has been caring for my dogs, Yadi & Molina, since they were eight weeks old. When we brought Molina in with a swollen leg, she took the time to review the X-rays (no breaks thank goodness!), explain how to care for her at home & answer all our questions. She even called the next day to see how Molina was feeling. My pets will never go anywhere else!
When I noticed a growth on my dog Leo’s lip, I was referred to Dr. Maedel to have it removed. When we met her, Leo liked her right away, so I knew he would be in good hands. Leo’s surgery and healing went great! Dr. Maedel did a fantastic job. I’m so excited that she’s opening an office in St. Pete.
Took our adopted dog to Dr. Maedel and was nervous how he would be. We informed her of his past and before she examined him, spent time petting him and gaining his trust. Since then, our pup has no problem walking in with Dr. Maedel. The surgery he needed went super well and our pup has never been happier. Recommend Dr. Maedel for everything!
Dr. Maedel goes above and beyond for every pet she meets, whether that be with medical care or sheer love. She makes sure that your pets are taken care of completely, and most importantly, makes sure that they are comfortable (which is not easy for a lot of pets at the vet’s office.) She never hesitates to listen to your concerns and takes a scientific approach to diagnostics and treatment that allow her to successfully deal with even the most complex issues. You never have to worry when Dr. Maedel is caring for your pet – she is truly part of the family.
After the loss of our cat, Musa, it was difficult to imagine our family with another pet, much less a dog. I am a self-proclaimed cat person, but apparently my daughter inherited the dog gene from her father. Then we met Leeloo – the Supreme Being – a Golden Doodle with such an amazing personality it was difficult not to want a dog just like her. We will always be grateful to you and Leeloo for introducing us to our Bella. But more importantly, you allowed us to learn what we needed to care for and raise a dog. While we have had a number of different veterinarians for our pets through the years, we hadn’t experienced such hands-on care. You take the time to learn all you can about not only your animal patients, but their humans as well. I am always in awe of your diagnostic capability, and further, your determination to find out the roots causes of an illness or issue. We are so happy you have stepped out and opened your own clinic. Your professional attitude, compassion, and thoroughness is an asset to the veterinary community In the Tampa Bay area.
We have known Dr. Maedel for almost 3 years now. She has always given the best advice when it comes to medications, monthly treatments, and nutrition. She quickly diagnosed our Great Dane with a CCL tear and directed us to a surgeon who then took care of his injury. It is very obvious that she has a huge passion in animal care. I couldn’t imagine her in any other profession.
