Top Rated Veterinarian in Palmetto Bay, FL
Living in Palmetto Bay means enjoying tree-lined streets, backyard wildlife, and a relaxed, neighborhood-focused lifestyle. Our pets are a massive part of that life, keeping us company on walks through local parks or curled up under the cool blast of the air conditioner.
But when your dog or cat needs medical care, finding the right clinic can feel overwhelming. Many veterinary offices in Miami-Dade County have been bought out by massive corporate conglomerates, resulting in rushed appointments, high-pressure upsells, and rotating doctors who don’t know your pet’s name.
At The Falls Animal Clinic, we do things differently.
We are a privately owned, independent animal hospital led by Dr. Doly Baquero, who brings more than 20 years of clinical experience to our community. We believe in practicing veterinary medicine with a human touch—offering transparent, cost-conscious solutions, highly personalized treatment plans, and a warm, low-stress environment where you and your pet are treated like family.

I’ve had an amazing experience with The Falls Animal Clinic from my very first visit through today. We’ve been going there for a little over a year now, and they have been nothing short of extraordinary. The staff is always welcoming, and they genuinely care about every animal that comes through their doors. We have three cats and a Golden Retriever, and we’ve consistently been able to count on them for excellent care and support. Not only are their costs reasonable compared to other veterinary clinics, but they also put real care and attention into everything they do. It’s clear that the well-being of pets truly matters to them, and that makes all the difference. We have also found kittens on the street that needed urgent assistance, and once again they were nothing short of extraordinary in providing care. They have truly been a blessing to our animals and to all the pets that come through their clinic.![]()

Our kids ate furry balls other people call cats. We love them so deeply and trust only Dr Baquero and her staff at Falls Animal Clinic. She is so knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough and thoughtful. The clinic is always bright clean and happy. She has successfully treated our babies from skin cancer to tummy aches. She monitors our senior baby closely for his urinary issues and he has been healthy for over four years now. We love Dr. Baquero, Yami, Chris, Hugo and everyone else that has helped us. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.![]()
