We began using Dr. Carter after a bad experience with a different vet 3 years ago. During the last…read morethree years, Dr Carter has only been needed for routine shots. While he has the personality of a small mollusk, he was reasonably priced. Two weeks ago, our 4 year old siamese cat became lethargic, and quit eating. He was promptly brought to Dr. Carter. Almost no questions were asked of us, and no tests were performed before the diagnosis was made. Our cat had a hairball. BRILLIANT! We were instructed to buy expensive hairball treating cat food, and all would be well. After three more days of not eating, the cat was returned to the vet with the same symptoms. Few questions were asked, no bloodwork was done, no x-ray performed, The only "diagnostic" test done was Dr. Carter "felt of him" and the diagnosis remained the same....... still a hairball. (What the fuck is it with Texans that they feel "of" something or taste "of" something?) I asked if Dr. Carter was sure of this diagnosis and I was told "Pretty muchly!" Pretty muchly? Where did he learn how to speak English? I guess he learned to speak English the same place he learned how to "doctor on y'alls critters -n- such." The cat was then taken to a competent vet, who did an x-ray, and found a blockage. It seems our cat ate one of those felt pads that keeps the furniture from scratching the floor. Surgery is being done, and our cat will be fine in a few days. I have a suggestion for the sign in front of his office. David B.Carter D.V.M. Causing y'alls critters a pretty muchly painful life.

I am a long-time customer here. Over the years I have taken my pets to pretty much every vet in…read morethe area including Devine and Lytle. I originally was a customer here, but for convenience purposes I moved to the Lytle clinic, however, after the Lytle vet moved and I was not impressed with the new vet, I came back to Alamo and I will not leave again. I currently have a 10 year old cat with diabetes, arthritis and a chronic fungal lung infection. While I appreciate both doctor's, Dr. Garza has repeatedly been my life saver over the last four years as we have treated these issues. He is patient and thorough. Over the years my cat has gone from docile and well-behaved at the vet to a holy terror or hissing clawing ball of puffed up fur as soon as we drive into the parking lot, but Dr. Garza finds a way to get what we need done and has not only extended my cat's life, but has also helped give him a good quality of life. As long as Dr. Garza is at Alamo, so will my pets. Dr. Baker has always been wonderful as well and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I have full confidence in this clinic which is so nice when I am stressed about this crazy orange ball of fur I love so much.

Brought my dog in for the first time in August 2025, where Dr.Garza misdiagnosed him with…read more"constipation", (even though my dog had been using the restroom just fine), when REALLY my dog had a herniated disc and needed emergency surgery. If I hadn't trusted my gut and taken my dog to the ER at BluePearl the next day, the option for surgery would've been off the table had I waited longer and trusted the Dr. The misdiagnosis and misguidance from Dr.Garza could've cost my dog his life. Just recently, April 2026, my dog started showing symptoms of an ACTUAL upset stomach, with bloody stool and reluctancy to eat. I decided to schedule a last minute appointment with Alamo, only because the other vet clinic I prefer had no availability for the rest of the week. Why not give Alamo a second chance? I am a forgiving person. Well, I showed up, the nurse came in and did an examination, walked out to speak with the Dr. on duty (the Dr. never came into the room, so I have no idea who the doctor was), and came back just to tell me that they think my dog has an obstruction, but their X-Ray machine has been down for DAYS and can't do anything for my dog. Had they reviewed the notes I provided when I booked the appointment, and understood that there was a possibility that my dog might need an X-Ray, a courtesy call would have been appreciated before I made the trip over there just to be disappointed again. They turned me away and even said they didn't want to waste any more of my time. This clinic sucks.

Another Groomer in the past had told us, he was not able to come back because of his behavior. Disappointed, we have tried to groom him ourselves. But, thankfully we were introduced to Heart of Texas Dog Ranch through our vet. I called the dog ranch and was very happy with the friendly customer service. They do require bordetella to be updated every 6 months prior to grooming appt, rather than every year. Day before appointment, gate code was texted. Drove up thru driveway and parked near sign, there we were directed to call their number upon arrival. An employee came to our car to pick up our dog and answer any questions. Bethany did an awesome job with nail clipping $20 We were so impressed, we booked a grooming appointment. Again, very pleased... she was able to groom him without any issues! $50/hour. From now on, she will be in our phone book!

After 10 years of being a Pawderosa customer, they've lost my business for good…read more I am the type of person that likes to build a relationship with a company or service and stay there long term, so it didn't bother me that Pawderosa didn't have all the bells and whistles (like included daycare with boarding and live camera feeds) their competition has. I was a very content customer, other than one issue that I considered relatively minor in the grand scope of things. I've personally referred dozens of people to them over the years, which I now greatly wish I could take back. A few weeks ago, Pawderosa asked their customers to fill out a survey to ostensibly help them improve their service. I filled it out with generally high marks, but did note that the hours of operation are tricky to abide by. The posted hours here on Google are incorrect; they actually close their lobby every day from 12-1, and occasionally other times too for staff trainings or for other reasons. There is no communication with their clients about this other than posting it on their door. I am a business owner, mom to a toddler, and I have 2 pets as well, so trying to find time to drop off my dog without running into their closures has sometimes been an issue for me. I noted that in the survey, and their reply to that was to tell me to call the office if the door is locked and they would facilitate a drop off that way. That solved my problem, and I thought that was the end of that. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and my wife arrived 5 minutes after 12 to drop off our dog. She called me and I said "Oh no worries, they told us just to call them if this happens so I'll do that." I called and they let it ring through a few times, but I kept on trying, as that is what I was instructed to do. They finally answered, I explained the situation, and they told my wife to go ahead and drop off our dog. When she stepped into the office, Hannah was extremely rude to her, ignoring her greetings and admonishing her to mind the posted hours next time. My wife walked away feeling like she had just been sent to the principals office! So of course, I wanted to address this rudeness: I sent an email to one of the managers in hopes that we'd be able to clear the air and receive an apology for the rude treatment. What ensued were some of the most humiliating and awkward conversations my wife and I have ever been party to in a professional setting. Hannah called me from her personal cell phone (perhaps to avoid the call being recorded on the company line, but that is pure speculation) and berated me for 3 minutes straight. She let me know in no uncertain terms that she was not sorry for behaving the way she behaved, and gave me a talking to like I was a disobedient child for calling during their lunch hour as instructed. When I asked who I could escalate this issue to, given that she made NO attempt to smooth this issue over with me, she told me "no one" and that she's the top of the line due to the owner being a busy entrepreneur who doesn't speak with clients. Being a business owner myself, I found that rather shocking. I would never tell any of my customers that I am too busy to speak with them, especially not people that have been loyal to my business for 10 years and spent tens of thousands of dollars at my establishment. But either way, I took the hint. Hannah and Pawderosa management were letting me know that they don't need my business and to not let the door hit me on the way out. Then my wife called, giving them the benefit of the doubt and sure that this was a huge misunderstanding. She spoke with Amanda, who doubled down on Hannah's message, saying that I am "a bad vibe," "hostile," "irritating" and that I am a "problem client." Amanda's idea of fixing this was to cut me out of all future communications and deal exclusively with my wife. She asked what specifically I have done to warrant these descriptions of my character, and Amanda said "well I don't know off the top of my head." When asked if I had ever raised my voice to her or any staff member or used bad language with any of them, Amanda admitted no, I had never done that. So by their own admission, there is actually no evidence of me being anything but cordial and professional with them, besides my "vibe". Safe to say, this was all news to me! I rarely even interact with their staff, outside of sending them reservation request emails and vaccination updates. When I pick up or drop off my dog, it's a 1 minute interaction at most, and I am, as a rule, very sure to say Thank You. So, I scoured my email to see if I had ever been a "problem client" as accused, and I did have some constructive feedback for them in 2017 -- nearly 8 years ago. I suppose that and letting them know on their survey that their hours are inconvenient are enough to throw away a 10 year relationship and make me feel like I'm back in high school being gossiped about by the mean girls.

I didn't have my head straight when we discovered baby girl had passed and chose the first place for cremation on Google, which was a certain animal hospital that when we got there said we would get her back in a month. After a few days my husband and I decided that that was too long and we found eternal waters online, watched the video of the process and liked that it was more environmentally friendly than traditional cremation. And the fact that my baby girl loved swimming in lakes and beaches seemed like this was meant to be. Thank goodness they offer pickup from the other clinic we had her at. That would've been tough for us to do. Lilia was super sweet and understanding even with my weird request of sending me a photo of Lucy to make sure the right dog was picked up. But thank goodness she suggested me sending her a photo of Lucy so she can confirm during the pickup. That made it a lot less painful. She texted me immediately on pick up that it was 100% my baby girl. Told it would take about a week but it ended up being 2 weeks. It was worth it with all of the extra things we got to keep in her memory. I had asked for an impression of her front 2 paws, one of her feet became deformed as she got older, a single paw print, a nose print, and her different colors of fur in a jar which I was really impressed she got all of the colors because I had just groomed my baby before she passed and her fur was short. I will take my future babies and recommend them to people in the future. She was so kind and understanding during one of our hardest losses. Thank you!
