PLEASE READ I took my dog to this vet because of all the good reviews. Our vet was booked until Monday so we went on a Thursday because our chihuahua was breathing funny so we wanted to make sure she was OK before Monday. They ran test on her and said she was in congestive heart failure but they never said her life was at risk or was there any mention of any urgency to take her to an ER. Instead a $100 bottle of pills that she needed to take for the rest of her life and $500+ bill later she was sent home. Once again they never said anything about this being an emergency and then the next day our baby DIED AND I BLAME THEM!! So that next day we spent $600 to cremate our baby instead of $600 to try to save her life. I dnt know why our dog didn't get 4..7 star treatment but I give them ZERO STARS read more

I took my dog Coco to Blue Cross Pet Clinic for the first time today, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care we received. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff was incredibly kind, patient, and compassionate during such a stressful time. Dr. Plouffe and Phoenix were especially wonderful--they treated Coco with such gentleness and genuine concern, and they took the time to make sure I felt informed and supported every step of the way. It's clear they truly care about both their patients and their owners. If you're looking for a veterinary clinic that combines professionalism with heartfelt compassion, I highly recommend Blue Cross Pet Clinic. read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic has been my veterinarian clinic of choice for twenty years if not longer. Dr Beissner is the most no nonsense, compassionate, selfless, thoughtful, knowledgeable & practical vet I've known, having owned, found and re-homed hundreds of animals on my own with a very limited budget. I will gladly pay him for his services because I know my pets are in good hands and I know I'm not being coerced into unnecessary procedures. It's money well spent for the most fragile members of our family. Dr B helped me through the most devastating loss of a pet that I've ever experienced. My best friend and service dog passed way in Dr B's care after a good long life of 16 years. It was such a good experience having a friend like Dr B there for me and my dog that I didn't even cry. it was the right thing to do and Dr Beissner was the only vet I felt comfortable with this end of life process. He even made sure I was ok before I left. I have never forgotten his compassion for my old, limping dog and me with my terrible anxiety at that time. He's not only an outstanding vet; he's a great human being. You will not be just a number to Dr B. He may not remember Max or Fifi's name, but he'll care for them as if they were part of his own animal family. He goes the extra mile for others. I've seen it throughout the years. Dr B has a big heart. Don't get me started on his staff! They're wonderful! The staff and other vets less familiar to me are also very friendly and knowledgeable. The vets will go the extra mile and call to check up on your pet if you have a question. You'll definitely feel like family at Blue Cross Pet Clinic. The new facility is clean, fresh and welcoming. The waiting room is spacious with snacks and coffee available. There's also a soda machine. There's nice animal-themed art decorating the walls. It's got a really homey appeal. Give Blue Cross Pet Clinic a try! Your pets deserve the best and you can give them that for a whole lot less. read more

Affordable, everyone is well knowledgeable, it can get crowded at times, I would definitely make an appointment

Me and my Cavalier had great experiences even if the walk in wait was over 2.5 hours. Doctor was upfront and honest what we should do and what not to waist money on. And he end up to be a big Ukraine supporter! I was really surprised when he made donation to people in need through me It's great to know there is good people out there. Will be coming back for great service. read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic - Office visit - Veterinarians Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

OMG!!! this is one of the best pet clinics I have been to.. the staff was so perfect, kind, caring ,and helpful. My dog Luna passed out as she was entering the office and they came out with a gurney and took care of my Luna so well. I highly recommend BLUE CROSS PET CLINIC. THEY CARE THEY ARE GREAT. SINCERELY, FRED CENTENO read more

If Charlie dies I'm holding your company responsible, he has blood in his stool, before I brought Charlie to have dental cleaning, he was in excellent health, since his dental, he was so traumatized it's hard traveling with him now, he's always shaking and nervous and I'm having a hard time calming him down. About 3 or 4 days later he threw up a 4x4 piece of gauze. Never again will I take My dog there. HEED If you care about your pet dont bring them here. There prices have gone up new prices are ridiculous. read more

The staff took great care of our pups. They are good about getting pets in for care and have some walk-in hours posted. The only recommendation I have is for Teresa to learn to prioritize clients. She lets walking take priority o er checking clients out after their visits. Other clients actually. Told her I was first and she insisted I wait. read more

Came back again for a walk-in wellness check for my cat. Really pleased with how they handled her. She is very stressful with vet visits and can get feisty. We were able to get her vaccines quickly without any medications or sedation (previous vet back home wouldn't see her without putting her under sedation). The wait was a bit longer this time than last but if you need to be seen or can't/don't want to wait for an appointment it's worth it. Saw a different veterinarian last time but they are all nice and great to work with! read more

I would give this place a zero if there was an option for no stars.. wait time over 1.5 hours every time then u can wait longer in the vet room the front staff doesn't care and is extremely rude they do not tell u (on their voice recording) that the Walk in wait is 2-3 hours I waited 2.5 hours and they were not concerned when I reminded them and actually became ruder I wouldn't trust them with my pet at this point read more

We took in my baby Louie for his yearly shots and a check up. Norma assisted us and she was very very helpful. She was very thorough and made sure she gave affordable options specifically for our needs. She was very patient and so nice. Dr. Knowlten was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and he was also very patient. I have been taking my pet dog for many years and he always receives the best care. read more

I have brought all 8 of my dogs here for a couple years now. They are always reasonably priced and very friendly. I had an emergency today with my chihuahua getting attacked and rushed over during walk in hours, they rushed my dog back and got him situated immediately. I am so thankful for them I have waited many many times for the walk in sessions and know it gets full, I'm so happy they took my dogs situation into consideration! read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

What a great animal clinic! Took my Frenchie, Bruno to be seen as a walk in during this COVID-19 crisis and was so pleased by hospital staff and veterinarians. They worked with my budget and offered so many treatments for Bruno since he has allergy problems. I will always bring our fur babies to Blue Cross Pet Clinic. read more

I was in town to tend to the affairs of a beloved relative and my dog had some symptoms I worried were heartworm. The clinic got me in same day (walk-in), had excellent COVID procedures, and were so very kind and caring about my puppy worries, as well as my loss and the fact that my home was under threat of the CA fires. I visit San Antonio regularly and there isn't a visit that doesn't require a trip to the vet, as I have a geriatric dog and a puppy who eats everything. I will never take my dogs elsewhere because they offered so much compassion. Please take your animals here. They are wonderful. read more

The care for my pet seems fine and staff is friendly but the office communications and policies are terrible. First, if you are a new patient you have to wait in their walk-in line. They open at 8 but what you don't know is people start lining up by 7am. So the first time I came at 8am and didn't get seen until 12:30pm. My cat gets stressed in the carrier so that was hard. The appointment was quick but helpful and when I brought her back for the same issue the wait time was better 2 hours and the vet was thorough and helpful. I had my cats records emailed but I got the feeling they didn't review them. We had a bunch of tests and the culture told us what the infection was and we put her on different antibiotics so I texted (they texted me first) to ask about or cancel an expensive ultrasound appointment and didn't hear back and texted again the morning of. I got a call a little later to say that they were wondering where I was and that they didn't get my texts. Then they said they were going to charge me anyway so I brought her in. I don't think she needed the test and that they just wanted the money. So if you have a lot of time to wait, make sure you call and get the name of who you talk to and explain your pets history each time then this might be the vet for you. read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic - Front desk - Veterinarians Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've only been here twice but I love it. The staff is very professional, courteous, helpful and friendly and the same goes for our actual Vet. He's so sweet and our puppies love him! Keep in mind that with everything going on right now, you have to stand in line outside and then check in with the staff and then wait in your car until they have a room available so wait times can be longer, even with an appointment. Even with longer wait times, I think it's still worth your time to come here. They always try to give you the best price for everything and nothing is ridiculously expensive. This is a huge relief as a college student with a smaller budget. I will be bringing my puppies here as long as I can! read more

Very nice and friendly staff with great customer service. The veterinarian was so good with Julia

Ok, if you have dogs you know how important it is to have a vet you can trust and this place is the BEST!!!!!! They have really fair pricing and the ladies behind the counter are really nice and will do anything to help you. We've had dogs for years and have tried a number of pet clinics and this one is the one we are staying with. Walk-ins are always welcome and the vets will always tell it to you straight. read more

Receptionist - rude. Doctor - rude. My dog came in for a lump near her rectum and some ticks. Doctor couldn't even be bothered to care. Asked if we sprayed our yard for ticks and said to put a warm compress on my dogs butt. Sent her home with antibiotics and that was that. No helpful info, no tips. We had to pry information out of him. Never coming back. read more

Went on the Friday of a holiday weekend so the line was longer than normal.. checked in, waited in my car and once they had a room for us they called me and advised us to come in. Waited for vet for less than 10 mins and then he prescribed my dog 3 prescriptions for her double ear infections and seasonal allergies. Left the clinic less than 30 mins after going into the patient room. They are very quick and friendly. They also only do walk in hours for First time patients. read more

Started taking my pup here when I first got her 6 years ago and haven't stopped. At first glance the clinic is on the older side but whatever they lack in appearance they sure make up for in love and care for all pets. The vets are so sweet and understanding and the prices CANNOT be beat! Love this place and will continue to refer it to every fur baby owner that I know. It is worth the drive you have to make and their service is timely. Do you AND YOUR PET a favor and give this place a chance. You will not be disappointed! Best wishes from this dog owner and her pup, Zoe. read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic - Vet of choice for my terrier mix, Zoe! - Veterinarians Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

If you want the best vet service at an affordable price without the high-end clinic look then this is hands down the best vet in San Antonio. Dr. B is personable, knowledgeable and will not try to up sell at all as a matter of fact quite the contrary. He will rarely order bloodwork unless it's absolutely necessary. He is knowledgeable enough to diagnose without costly bloodwork most of the time. I lived 45 minutes away from the clinic, but the drive was worth it to me. Dr.B was our vet for 8 years until I moved away to Brownsville. My dogs and I miss Dr. B. read more

Our dog was unfortunately involved in a dog attack, leaving lacerations on his ear. We were able to stop the bleeding quickly, so we figured he would be okay to wait for the vet the next morning to be sure it was nothing major and avoid paying the extreme prices of an emergency Vet. We had heard many good things about Blue Cross and decided to give them a try. We arrived early and were seen by the Vet and out the door within an hour from the doors opening. Overall, it was an excellent experience. One of the things I noticed during our trip was that the place was heavily staffed, meaning faster service. They were very honest and prices were very reasonable. I would definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking for a Vet. read more

I left an exceptional vet in Hawaii and that was one of the difficult things about moving to San Antonio. I searched a lot of reviews before finding this place. Finding a vet you can trust and appreciate is always hard. In fact, I'd compare finding a vet with finding a good mechanic. So many times vets try to push unnecessary things to well-intentioned dog owners. I love my dogs but I've been told my dogs "need" warmed towels after surgeries and ice chips. Come on. I have seen both a male and female vet here. Both are exceptional. They will tell you what you really do need and never up-sell you. I have been here about 15 times (I foster dogs often) and have never been disappointed. They have saved my dog Duke's life. The building might not look like much but that's because the money goes to your animals' care, not aesthetics. Update: There is no way there is a better vet in the nation. I find it hard to believe there would be. Dr. B goes out of his way to ensure every animal and human gets exceptional treatment. I have no idea how he runs such a busy clinic, but he does an incredible job. He calls after each surgery. He calls when he hasn't seen the dog in a while. He spends every minute of every day working, it seems. I feel blessed to have found him. read more

Blue Cross is the absolute best vet clinic. Have you ever heard the saying you get what you pay for? Blue Cross does not fit that mold. Look past the rugged exterior and interior and see a true diamond in the rough. Dr. B and his staff are compassionate, loving, gentle & sensitive. They do not price gouge or over charge, in fact, they are very reasonably priced. Blue Cross truly cares about your pet. I have had one of the staff vets call me and give an update while my pet was in surgery because I was told a procedure would take a certain amount of time and surgery was running long. Talk about taking the edge off during a sensitive time. I took my 16 yr old dog in to see Dr. B bc I thought it was time to put him to sleep, although Dr. B agreed he knew (not just from my sobbing) this dog was my beloved pet and suggested I take him home for extra love and cuddles and let the dog decide when it was his time. Although I was very conflicted about this, it was THE BEST ADVISE EVER!!!! Dr. B was not concerned with making money on putting my pet to sleep or loading my dog up on meds. Instead Dr. B shared a personal story about his childhood dog, shared a Kleenex with me and sent me on my way. The Blue Cross staff truly cares about your pet. You don't get fluff and fancifulness, you don't get high tech, you don't get a separate dog/cat waiting area, your don't get techs that push products or even a vet that pushes procedures/meds. What you do get is a pet clinic where people wait to see the vet bc they know they will be treated honestly and with compassion. I highly recommend if you are looking for a vet don't be discouraged by the waiting room, see the vet then decide. Dr. B and Blue Cross is a rare find. read more

I had an urgent issue with my dog's eye and needed a vet open on Saturday. This place said it opened at 8:00 am on Saturday. I stood outside with a couple other people, waiting for someone to open the door. By 8:15, I left. Very unprofessional. read more

The vet is ok, does not do as thorough an exam as I am used to at my old vet. This is kind of a ' bare bones' operation and the front staff & so-called office manager are incompetent when it comes to handling medication issues. If you are poor and/or desperate you can probably get what you need here. Maybe. read more

This vet clinic is the best in the city the doctors are very talented and friendly. Working with feral cats is one of thier specialities! read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic - Small, but Great! - Veterinarians Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Dr. B is awesome. He examines your pet thoroughly & explains issues or procedure. Compared to other places he is very affordable.

This is the best clinic ever I bring all my pets here and I know they are really safe wouldn't go anywhere else.

Came in as a walk in and was seen quickly. Dr. Theus was amazing as always and took excellent care of my fur babies. I will be bringing all my pets here now! Thank you KT! read more

I took my pup in to the office today due to a very bad infection from being bit or scratched by something. From the time that I got there speaking to the front desk to speaking with the Vet techs to speaking to the Vet him self everyone was so kind, attentive and understanding of my concerns. From this day forward this is going to be my go to Veterinary clinic!! Larry H. Moreno read more

I love this place! I have 4 dogs and recently began fostering 2 more found on the street. I've been to vets all over San Antonio over the years with my other dogs. The 2 we found were sick but needed care and I had a friend who rescues recommend this place to me. I was nervous coming in, but that quickly went away. The vet is honest, understanding, and straight to the point. No run arounds or unnecessary charges/costs. I wanted to help these guys but knew I couldn't break the bank for two more dogs. Thankfully that was not the case. I'm so grateful for this place giving me the help necessary to get these two guys healthy. My sister who also has 3 dogs decided to bring them here for their vaccinations and she as well had nothing but amazing things to say about the quality of care and the fair prices! read more

Blue Cross Pet Clinic - Skin & Bones (Blue & Maui) after one month in a good home and the help and care from the workers at blue cross! - Veterinarians Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This vet came recommended by a friend. I feel very comfortable bringing our little doggie there. Staff is friendly and the doctor answers all of our questions. I never feel rushed when I am there. I've been to other places but this is my favorite! read more

Dr. Beissner is great! I've seen a lot of vets trying to find a good fit for me and my big furry family. He always spends time with each animal and tells me when he's concerned about something. He never pressures you into expensive procedures. He gives you the options and tells you the prices up front. The office is pretty small and it's walk-in only for anything other than a procedure. Sometimes there's a wait because they only have 3 treatment rooms and occasionally many patients will be waiting in the waiting room. For me, it's worth the wait to get an honest opinion if one of my animals is having a problem. Dr. Beissner is great with dogs and cats and I've even seen someone bring in a goat! He really knows his stuff and is a genuine animal lover. read more

This is such a hard review to write because it's not the outcome you want for your beloved pet. We took our beloved Pepe in to be seen and unfortunately there was not much that could be done to help him. Dr. B and the staff were very compassionate and honest. This will be our go to family Vet going forward. read more

Dr. B and his staff provide a very high standard of care at affordable, no, VERY affordable rates. They don't take appointments, first come first serve. They won't upcharge you, instead first trying the most effective and affordable solutions for your pets. I trust them with our family's 5 pets. read more

Great doctors and staff! Very knowledgeable, patient to explain what's going on. Love this place, been loyal for many years!
