About us

All Creatures Animal Hospital opened its doors in April of 1999. In 2003 Drs. Richard and Mary Bressman purchased the practice from Dr. Ross Prezant. It had been their dream to own a practice in Stuart and to enjoy raising their children in this beautiful community. All Creatures Animal Hospital in Stuart, FL is a full service companion animal hospital. We believe you shouldn't have to look beyond your friendly neighborhood veterinarians in order to receive the highest quality medicine available along with gentle, compassionate care for your pet by people who truly love animals. Our services focus on the importance of preventative care for younger pets, early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages, and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during your pets' lifetime. We would like to invite you to take a moment to view our website and services that we offer. We are commited to providing your pet with the best medical care possible. Our goal for your pet is a long and healthy life achieved by routine examinations, blood and parasite tests, judicious use of vaccinations, and education about every aspect of pet health care. Our staff and doctors are ready to discuss on a case-by-case basis the best nutrition, skin care, dental care, and behavior training available. We can provide many state-of-the-art diagnostic options in our hospital to get you the answers you need right away. We can check blood chemistry panels, blood pressure, run tests for infectious diseases, and interpret intestinal parasite tests, ear cytology, growth aspirates, and urinalysis within 20 minutes. We also can take x-rays while you wait. We use outside laboratories for advanced tests, histopathology reports, and things like bacterial cultures and sensitivities. We can schedule in-hospital ultrasound and echocardiogram studies that are interpreted by a board-certified radiologist. A wonderful board-certified veterinary surgeon, neurologist, opthalmologist are located 5 minutes away and we can refer to other specialists less than an hour away if needed. If our patients need overnight or weekend monitoring or treatment, we refer our patients to a trusted local emergency clinic.

Highly impressed. I drive 45 minutes to bring my "kittens" to Drs. Mary and Leslie. Dr. Leslie suggested the Canine specialty food, however at $50 a bag for 5 furbabies, it's a little steep. She was able to help me come up with a diet that was good for their digestive tract, yet economical. Not greedy or money hungry and didn't make me feel like a looser because I couldn't afford the expensive food. So happy!

We have used All Creatures Animal Hospital for our family vet for the past 4 years. They helped us find a companion rescue dog for our lonely poodle rescue. They held our hand when it was time to let our poodle pass over. We tried a vet a little closer to where we live for our Yorkie's annual dental: never again! It took three days for the dog to shake off the anesthesia completely. This NEVER happened at All Creatures.
Their compassion and their knowledge is remarkable. They work with local rescue groups and introduced me to Florida Yorkie Rescue with whom I now work. We are now up to FOUR dogs (foster failures...we couldn't give them up) and I have complete faith in Dr. Mary, Dr. Rich and Dr. Carrie. The staff treat you like family and we know our dogs' health &well being is placed above the business angle of a veterinary practice.
I wish I could find a family physician for my husband and I with the qualities these vets possess.

Sadly we lost her. She was a good girl. They were wonderful. We lost 2 dogs in 2014, the first one in February. They didn't help us because she got sick and died at 6pm and there was nothing they could do. The other one then started presenting similar symptoms and we got her immediately into the vet. They took her, put her on fluids, and we were checking on different poisons. They were very caring, they kept her for the day, she got better, and then we picked her up. She lived. They were very caring, and compassionate, they helped us take care of the dog that passed away.  We had kenneled the dogs there one day, and when we picked one she had an injured tail. She is a happy lab, and evidently they are put in really tight kennels so anytime anybody would pass, she was wag her tail and she injured it. We were told that the two dogs would be together when it was their time, but they were put in different cages, but they don't take them out at the same time, they take them individually. I was not happy with the kenneling.

I have  used All Creatures Animal Hospital for all three of my rescue dogs' healthcare needs for the past 4 years.  My dogs have been treated by all 3 vets there:  Dr. Mary, Dr. Carrie and Dr. Rich. Two of my dogs have health issues inherent to their breed (Yorkie/Yorkie mix) and one had a leg amputated due to abuse and neglect from his previous owner.  I have found all three vets to have superior/up to date knowledge, compassion and willingness to work with a dog parent to develop care plans for their pets.
They believe in preventative care, and actually care about the dogs themselves.
Their office is clean, the practice is well run and the staff is welcoming.
All Creatures Animal Hospital works with the community here in Martin County as well as several rescue groups.
I would highly recommend them to any pet parent.

THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!, We have used them for many many years. Let me just say we don't believe in buying dogs when our dog pounds are overcrowded. That's just our belief, So my wife and I take in the unwanted and abused. Most often when we get them they are full of worms, malnourished, under weight and mangy, it can get expensive, All creatures have ALWAYS worked with us finacially! We currently own 3 APBT rescues. They receive excellent care from all of the staff, Our dogs are not judged based on their breed, the staff are not afraid of our dogs, all staff members treat them like the big babies they are! We have, however, had our fair share of breed related issues from separation anxiety requiring medication to that rare dog fight requiring a stitch or two and some antibiotics. Dr. Rich and Dr. Mary have always been very informative and supportive in ALL aspects of their care. We've used them for boarding, our yearly shots/ exams, and any unexpected illness or emergency. In addition, They have also euthanized a few of our older dogs throughout the years that were suffering with cancer, They were so compassionate, giving our dogs a little Valium to make the transition easier on our pet and on us, we've been in a room for well over an hour crying and saying our goodbyes, We have never been rushed out of a room. You can expect to get a personalized sympathy card a week or so later, with comments from the entire staff about your pet . Dr. Rich and Dr. Mary our wonderful veterinarians and animal advocates, they have, in our experience ALWAYS done whats right. I would never even consider taking our furry family members anywhere else!

I took my mini labradoodle in for grooming at 9:00 am to KATHY, the groomer who is employed at this facility. My dog is groomed every four weeks.

She has thick hair, but she was not matted. She had a little matting under her chin which I told Kathy about.

When Kathy was introduced to my dog she said and quot;gee she sure has thick hair. I saidand quot; yes, but she has no matts except under her chinand quot;. She told me

the dog would be ready at 1:30. When I called at 1:30, I was told she was not ready. Finally, I got a call that my dog was ready at 3:30.

When I saw my dog after Mary had groomed her I was stunned. My dog had been completely shaved with the exception of

her ears. Now instead of looking like a teddy bear she looked like a mini greyhound. The receptionist said and quot;that will be $60.00

oh, and do you want to leave Kathy a tip?and quot; and quot; What kind of a tip should I leave I saidand quot; and quot; $10.00 to $15.00 would be about right said the

receptionist. When I got home I was furious. I called and asked to speak to Dr. Mary the owner of All Creature's Animal Hospital, but

she was busy. She called me back and in a message left on my phone since I was out, Dr. Mary said she was surprised since Kathy usually did not get

complaints. Quite frankly, Kathy was lazy and did not want to be bothered brushing out the dog. However she was happy to take

the tip. I always tip when I get my dog groomed, but this is the first time I was ever asked if I wanted to tip. In addition,

my dog's nails were not clipped.

So, I ended up spending $70.00 because KATHY was too lazy to do a proper brush out on my dog. And if a groomer is going

to shave a dog, she darn well better ask the owner. I would not recommend this groomer to anybody.

We recently adopted a Great Dane 3 months prior to our visit at All Creatures. On December 22, 2013 I noticed her itching her ears and shaking her head frequently. Upon closer inspection I realized her left ear was very inflamed. I called a couple of local vet clinics and not one of them could squeeze us in for at least two days. The thought of this poor dog in pain for that length of time was unacceptable. I checked Angieslist and seen the great reviews on All Creatures and called. I was so happy when the receptionist said they were booked that day but didn't want our dog to be in pain and would squeeze us in as the last patients of the day. Yay! I knew right then I had found the right Vet for our new dog... We arrived at scheduled time and to my surprise registration was short/simple. The wait time was a bit lengthy but I knew they squeezed us in and did not bother me in the least. In addition I was told while waiting that the vets were tending to a small emergency and apologized. We were taken to back room and within minutes Dr Mary Bressman came in and couldn't apologize enough for the wait. I couldn't praise this woman enough. She was super friendly, completely professional and extremely thorough in exam. I was pleasantly surprised in the time she took with us, especially since we were added into an already booked day. She physically examined dog, administered/ updated immunizations, cleaned/ took samples of ears, performed labs and administered antibiotics, prednisone and Trifexis. She educated me on how to care for dogs ear infection, maintenance/prevention on future infections and instructions on administering meds myself. Overall, I would highly recommend (and have so already) All Creatures to anyone and everyone looking for a Vetrinarian Clinic that is thorough, friendly and professional. It was easy to see that this group of individuals truly love animals and who's main goal is for their well being.

I have been bringing my dog Nikki there for about eight months. We only had to wait about ten minutes for the half hour appointment. Dr. Mary has a wonderful way with the animals. She is gentle, attentive and you can tell she cares for the animals and they like her back. The friend who recommended me to Dr. Mary knew a homeless veteran and told Dr. Mary about the veteran's dog. Dr. Mary told my friend to tell the homeless veteran to bring his dog in and they would treat the dog for free. I would recommend them to anyone.

This was my dog's first visit here. I found it on Angie's list. Everyone was nice, the place was clean and new They had just moved to a new building. For everything they did the bill was only $170. That was a pleasant surprised, and after getting burned by the last two vets I went to in this area, I left there very satisfied.

I thought they were great. They were really good and caring. I really thought that they cared about animals. We just moved here not too long ago and we were looking for a place for our two dogs who felt like our children. That was the only place that we found we really thought safe treating our dogs. Infact, they were of tremendous help we used to have for many years. They were just a great group of people and they really cared about animals. They were very knowledgeable. In terms of punctuality, they were pretty good. I would take my pets to them again in the future.

Wondeful office, from the doctors to the friendly staff. Very caring and loving office. They are one of the few offices that work with the Humane Society on voucher spaying/neutering which makes the cost of spaying or neutering conserable less. I highly recommend this wonderful vet practice.
