East Bay Animal Hospital

What East Bay Animal Hospital does

East Bay Animal Hospital is a privately owned, full-service veterinary practice founded in 1973 and operated from a single hospital at 3445-A East Bay Drive in Largo, Florida, within central Pinellas County. The practice employs approximately 29 staff and serves individual pet owners across Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, and surrounding communities, providing wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, surgery, diagnostic services, emergency care, grooming, boarding and daycare, microchipping, nutritional counseling, hospice and grief support, and care for exotic and pocket pets including birds, rabbits, ferrets, and reptiles. The business is led by owner-veterinarian Dr. Robin K. Moore, who was recognized in 2023 as one of News Channel 8's 'Remarkable Women.'

The underlying technology stack is standard industry tooling rather than proprietary infrastructure: the Petly Patient Portal provides 24/7 client access to medical records, Vetsource powers the online pharmacy and home delivery of prescriptions and food sourced directly from manufacturers, and IDEXX supports laboratory diagnostics. Marketing and client engagement run through a Facebook/YouTube/Instagram presence, a content blog at petsnmoore.com, Google reviews, and special-offer promotions. Strategic partnerships include a Veterans Assistance Program with Pinellas County Animal Services (the first private hospital to offer no-cost annual vaccines, heartworm tests, feline leukemia tests, FIV tests, and microchips to qualifying veterans) and referral relationships with Blue Pearl for emergency care, plus several regional animal shelters.

The revenue model is fee-for-service veterinary care delivered in-person at the Largo hospital, supplemented by Vetsource pharmacy commissions on home-delivered prescriptions and food. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. In 2024 the practice absorbed clients from the neighboring Animal Medical Center following Dr. Brancato's retirement after 34 years, and in 2025 the hospital was named Best of Business in Largo, FL. No private equity, venture capital, or corporate parent ownership is indicated; the practice operates as an independent single-site operator.
