It’s with this growth that Loving Care Animal Hospital has become a full-service veterinary hospital, adding innovations such as advanced anesthetic monitoring programs, microchipping, ultrasound, and wellness care to ensure that your pet stays happy and healthy. Of course, we still believe deeply in accessible, compassionate care, but have been able to enhance our standards of veterinary medicine to ensure that you receive an unsurpassed level of excellence each time you see us. As part of our ongoing commitment to our local community and the greater Tampa Bay area, we are also proud of our status as the sole veterinary care provider for both the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and the Largo Police Department’s K9 Officer Units. We’re proud to provide care to these officers so that they can continue to safely and effectively protect our community and ensure the safety of residents and pet owners from across the area. As our small token of appreciation, we offer for retired K9 officers of all police agencies. This is simply a small gesture that we’re happy to make, since we are so proud of our local community and the brave police officers who work to keep us safe. and hope that you’ll consider making a donation today.

Doctor Richard has been working in veterinary medicine since he was 14-years old and brings an unparalleled level of compassion and expertise to each and every pet that he sees. Dr. Richard Dinon grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and began to show a distinct passion for veterinary medicine at the age of 14. Early on, a young Richard Dinon sat in amazement as his family veterinarian examined his family’s chocolate Lab, Beau, trying to find the cause for his sudden onset of seizures. His passion was so evident, that the veterinarian offered him a job to help nurture that passion. From that point on, Dr. Richard continually worked in animal hospitals. Starting as a kennel boy, he worked his way up to veterinary technician and eventually was accepted to the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine after only three years of undergraduate studies. Those years of experience in the veterinary field prior to becoming a veterinarian have been paramount to Dr. Richard’s ability to understand his patients and their needs. Dr. Richard has practiced in Pinellas County since his graduation in 2002 and became the owner of Loving Care Animal Hospital in 2009. Dr. Richard is a member of the Florida Veterinary Medical Association, Pinellas County Veterinary Medical Society, and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Since graduating, he has attended extensive continuing education courses in internal medicine, surgery, and dermatology as well as completing advanced, specialized training in ultrasonography and ultrasound-assisted diagnostic procedures such as soft tissue biopsies and cytologies. Debbi has proudly accrued decades of experience working with veterinary hospitals, first beginning her veterinary work in 1970.
