Detectives raided a southwest Miami-Dade County house on Saturday morning that police say was being used as an unlicensed veterinary clinic.
When police served the warrant on the home, 11901 SW 185th Ter., at least six clients were there to have their pets treated.
No animals were boarded at the home, according to police.
There were no indications that the home was a legitimate clinic, only a paper sign handwritten in Spanish telling clients to bring their pets to the back of the house.
Three people were detained — the homeowner who is a licensed veterinarian, and two people who police say were doing the actual treatments on the animals, who are not licensed vets, said Detective Andre Martin, a Miami-Dade County police spokesman.
Police brought two men out of the home in handcuffs when the Miami Herald was at the scene.
Police have not released their names, but the owner of the home is Arsenio Rodriguez, according to Miami-Dade Property Appraiser records. Rodriguez is listed with the Florida Division of Corporations as director of a company called All Veterinary Supply Inc. in Doral.
