About Laurel Road Veterinary Clinic
Laurel Road Veterinary Clinic is a trusted veterinary clinic in Nokomis, Florida, serving dogs and cats throughout Sarasota County, including Venice, North Venice, and nearby Gulf Coast communities. We’re here to make veterinary care feel clear, supportive, and personal — whether your pet is visiting for a routine checkup, dental care, surgery, or urgent needs during normal business hours.
A local clinic built on trust and education
Laurel Road Veterinary Clinic was founded to serve this community with a different kind of veterinary experience — one that centers on relationships, communication, and thoughtful medicine. Our team believes that great care is not just about what happens in the exam room, but also about how well you understand your pet’s health and the choices in front of you.
That’s why our appointments are rooted in education. We take time to explain what we’re seeing, what it could mean, and what next steps make the most sense for your pet and your family. You deserve to feel confident — not rushed or overwhelmed — when making decisions about your companion’s care.
The values that shape every visit here are the same ones our clients have come to know us for: dedicated service, compassionate support, personalized treatment, advanced care, and a focus on education.
Modern medicine, right here in Nokomis
Our facility is equipped to deliver high-quality, efficient care for a wide range of needs. With modern veterinary tools and on-site capabilities, we can diagnose and treat many conditions quickly and comfortably for your pet.
Our in-clinic services and technology include:
- Digital X-rays for clear, timely imaging
- In-house laboratory testing for faster diagnostic answers
- Modern dental equipment to support oral health and overall wellness
- Surgical capabilities for spay/neuter and soft tissue procedures
- Therapeutic laser to support healing and comfort
- Radiosurgery for precise treatment when appropriate
When a pet needs specialty care beyond what we can provide in-house, we maintain strong relationships with nearby specialists and will guide you through the referral process with clarity and care.
Care that feels personal, not transactional
We understand that choosing a veterinarian is about more than services. It’s about finding a clinic where your pet is treated gently and where you feel heard. What sets Laurel Road Veterinary Clinic apart:
Personalized treatment plans
No two pets are the same. We tailor care to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and medical history — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Clear, judgment-free guidance
We meet you where you are. Our role is to support you with realistic, compassionate recommendations and to help you make informed choices without pressure.
A calm, respectful experience
From the moment you walk in, we strive to create an environment that feels professional, welcoming, and focused on your pet — not a storefront. We want every visit to feel reassuring for pets and pet parents alike.
A team you can trust
Our veterinarians and support staff share a deep commitment to high standards of care and kind communication. We’re proud to serve families in Nokomis and the surrounding area with integrity and consistency.
Serving our community with heart
As a locally rooted veterinary clinic, our connection to the Nokomis and Venice-area community matters. We’re honored to care for pets who are deeply loved, and we take that responsibility seriously. Many of our clients have been with us for years, and we value the long-term relationships we build through every life stage — from first puppy visits to senior care and end-of-life support.
