Welcome to VCA Sanibel! Our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility is designed to deliver exceptional veterinary care while maintaining a true hometown feel. As the only animal hospital on the island, we’re proud to provide convenient, compassionate service to residents of Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Iona-McGregor, South Fort Myers, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral. Our hospital features five exam rooms, a full dental and surgical suite, dedicated treatment and isolation areas, onsite grooming, separate feline and canine kennels, and an outdoor turf play yard. At VCA Sanibel, we’re committed to caring for both you and your pets with the highest level of service and compassion.
After 17 years having 5 pet dogs and a bird cared for at Sanibel Animal hospital we are done. Dr Schlereth, one poor excuse for a VCA vet, told us we were welcome to take our business elsewhere. It is one thing to put up with the overpriced upselling, but we won’t tolerate a rude insensitive doctor who is disrespectful of his colleagues and VCA’s customers.

Ridiculously over-priced with constant emphasis on upselling.. make it your last resort if you must go..unfortunately Mars, the parent company is buying up all the small veterinary practices and will soon have a complete monopoly!!
