International Animal Clinic

Ive been coming to Dr. Rubio for years and would not trust anyone else with my baby. The first time i brought Athena to the clinic, she had a irritation around her private parts and was causing herself misery and pain by biting it. Dr. Rubio put a cone around her head and was super informative about how i should take care of her for the next week or two, until she recovers. Athena is proudly strutting her new found confidence around town! Dr. Rubio is also really nice and genuinely a great person who loves his job and cares to see that every animal be taken care of the right way. He believes in no shortcuts! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Dr. Rubio is definitely one of the best vets in queens!

My 16 year old dog’s veterinarian is not in NYC and my dog got an unexpected anal gland abscess that needed to be taken care off right away. With such short notice and no other veterinarian to trust in NYC my friend referred me to Dr. Rubio (so I gave it a try).
Dr. Rubio was very compassionate and knowledgeable while treating my dog. He asked about all his medical conditions/​history and medications. Dr. Rubio did not just try to take care of the abscess and move on to the next patient– he was careful and concerned about every aspect of my dog’s health.
I really appreciated his time and would recommend him to anyone that needs a new veterinarian for their beloved pets. They’ll be in good hands. Dr. Rubio is open to questions and informative when answering.
Staff members were helpful and open to assist you the minute you walk in. The clinic felt like a home clinic. Everyone was nice and worked as a team. Therefore, with all that said, if your little ones need a veterinarian (whether permanently or temporarily) this is the place to go.
Peace&Light

Excellent compassionate care.
Totally trust him with the care of my pets.

Dr. Rubio is very nice and kind to my Dogs, and always takes care of the issue at hand. The Girls that work there are so sweet and helpful as well.
I recommend him to anyone lookng for a good Vet.

This vet was very rude and didn’t answer questions. I will NOT be going back to him. It’s a shame because he has been in the neighborhood for a long time and so have I. A shame that he was so rude and abrasive.

Dr. Rubio is very knowledgeable and honest. He does not try to sell you unnecessary tests or medicine which your pet won’t really need. His staff members are really nice and competent.

Dr. Rubio is awesome and all of the staff is so helpful and kind, in a world were people are frightful of pitties the helpful team truly just see a furry friend who just loves. My Boy Chuck is big guy and has been through a lot of hardships in his sort life. Right now he is dealing with allergies and for two very worried pet parents they have put us at ease. And they have made chuck feel comfortable even when sometimes he might not be so sure. Thank you Dr. Rubio from the bottom of our hearts and we hope to see you again.

Everyone was really sweet and nice but the entire reason we went there has thus far not been dealt with because the prescription that we received is actually unattainable. We came in because our regular doctor was out of town and we wanted a solution to our dogs’ problem! We would not have incurred the expense obviously if we had known that in the end we were going to have to wait ANYWAY to see our regular doctor! So though everyone was really nice and the doctor was very thorough and kind, what is the point if we can’t get the help for which we were there in the first place!!! The script is unfillable because of the nature of the drug so we are back to zero and our dog is still suffering a cough. And we have to pay for another vet visit. Boooooo.

Dr. Rubio is compassionate and is extremely knowledgeable in his area of medicine. His staff is on top of things and the office is immaculate. Dr. Rubio and his staff do not only focus on the animals but on the clients as well. They make sure all the needs are met and questions are answered before you leave the office. I highly recommend Dr. Rubio and his staff.

At first I was iffy about coming here but my dog kilo was very sick and uncomfortable so I decided to give it a try. All I can say the past is the past and the present is what matters. The personal was extremely informative amazing. The veterinarian was the best. I have been to other places but my never felt as comfortable as he did here. The vet techs. Were amazing kind, and nice. My experince was a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ and I guarantee their work. I want to say thank you doc for helping my dog feel better. Kilo and I are very happy with your services and hope to see you guys soon whe he goes back for his check-​up.
P.s– never go to triple a they really suck over charge and never fixed my dogs ears.

I took my 9 year-​old cat to be examined here because she developed a lump on her side. Not only did the doctors charge me $ 300 for blood work and a lab test for the liquid they extracted from the lump, but they failed to inform me that they didn’t take out enough liquid so they needed to re-​test her again. They suggested to remove the lump surgically to get a better biopsy (a routine procedure according to them), which was another $ 400. On the day of our cat’s surgery, we left her there in the morning and we picked her up in the evening, only to find out that she had not been operated on. The doctor had changed his mind and informed the receptionist to call us so we can pick up our cat, but she forgot to do so. When we picked up our cat, she was still out of it from the unnecessary anesthesia, and the doctor took it upon himself to draw blood for more analysis without even asking us, which we had to pay for. I found this completely unacceptable, unethical and unprofessional, and I will not be taking my cat back there anymore. Please do not take your pet there, you will get ripped off.
