Absolutely amazing staff and super affordable prices. Treated my two cats (one of which is feisty). Only vet I've been to that actually cares about the animals and not charging hundreds for a check up! Make sure to tip if you can to keep this place running :) read more

They have affordable care and reasonable prices. Their wait time is a bit long but definitely worth it. The staff are really nice and you can browse the store to distract your pet a bit before their appt. I believe they deserve every donation even if it's $5. read more

Cheaper than most & they work with rescues at a cheaper rate. It's very busy and you'll wait a while but totally worry it!

I got my cat's vaccinations here. Very good and affordable! I'm from Md and we have nothing like this!

Service was amazing ,my dog got treated for heart worms they made the process easy & as best as possible ,she's doing great now! Also the prices are reasonable which is always important ,would recommend them ! read more

Schedule in your area as soon as you get your fur baby!! To get ours done they were 2 months out and I had drive to a further location. My location was 3-4 months out, I was try's to get her done before her first heat They were great - & so much less expensive then the vet! $575 vs $89. read more

2nd year with them! I love going here because it's affordable. Word of advice go on weekdays. Expect long wait times (2-4 hours) if you're going during the weekend. COVID-19. They have a "receptionist" outside who puts you on a waitlist (essentially making an appointment for that day). You can't call to make an appointment as far as I know; you have to physically go there and register to be on the waitlist. Inside they have benches that follow social distancing. Very accommodating - they offer hand sanitizer paper towels and dog poop bags for your babies' accidents. (Forgot to add, they have a lot of Spanish speaking staff members as well!) Super friendly staff who answered my countless questions about vaccines/prevention and how to take the meds. They made my visit there all the better! My baby just needed his normal check up and vaccines. When it was our turn, my baby was in and out of there in no time. read more

Great all around! I'm obsessed with my dachshund and was terrified to have her in any surgery (I know, dramatic) however Emancipet's staff were so pleasant and reassuring. I left her there with a tear in my eye but when I picked her up and she was fine I was elated. I also got her a years worth of flea and heart meds for 50$!! I was happy to donated extra funds due to the exceptional service and love for my fur baby. read more

Emancipet - My adorable Biscuit - Veterinarians Near Me - Houston, Texas

I herd good things about Emancipet. I have three male cats that I wanted neutered as we moved to a new place and have a baby coming soon and they were acting territorial and we didn't want them to try spraying. Scheduling was easy. I was able to get an appointment the following week (remember to check the website to see the wait time as it depends on animal and weight) The day off check in was a bit hectic. The vet tech that assisted me rushed the process and didn't tell me about the prices of extra services. She added on a nail trim and e collar but didn't tell me how much it cost because at most vets they include that with the surgery. Why I gave them a 3 star was because it ended up being expensive and there was a huge miscommunication with my animals. I got an email saying two of my cats had fleas. That's strange but whatever and one cat had tapeworms. While we were picking up the animals, I asked the vet tech behind the counter about the fleas but then another vet tech that brought our cats out told me she didn't see any fleas on the cats. It confused me because I didn't know what was going on. We chose not to do the flea medication because apparently even though they didnt have fleas they did get flea medication. I paid extra for the tapework medication for my cat that apparently had tapeworms and I paid extra for rabies shots and two box carriers For 3 cats it was almost $500. I wish the free van had openings for all three of my cats. Emanicpet is suppose to be for low income community members. I'm barely getting back on my feet and this surgery took a huge hit on my finances. They should have applications and grants for these costs. Be sure to ask for prices while they check you in. read more

Emancipet is awesome!! Even though they had all owners being their animals for surgery at 8am, the process was very quick and they have a great system going. All of the staff was very nice, and the vet tech even said she would try to play with my kitten during the day! Very affordable prices and was able to get an appointment just one week in advance. They gave clear care instructions for afterwards and an emergency number to call if anything happened. This place is awesome, and I will definitely be back for vaccines and preventative medications. read more

Prices are good. Staff is always nice. I would highly recommend taking your pets here.

Great place to get your pet needs met. This is a nonprofit place so their prices are affordable, With that being said this place gets packed you need to arrive early before opening hours to get a decent place in line. On this day I showed up one and a half hours before opening and I was third in line. The staff is always friendly and you can tell they truly love animals. If you need to spay or neuter make sure you call and make an appointment before hand. read more

Emancipet - S Wayside Emancipet Lobby - Veterinarians Near Me - Houston, Texas

Thank goodness for NPO Emancipet. This location offers basic vet care, along with spay and neuter services all at discounted rate. I'm a dog mom of two that already have their primary vet, but I try to re-home neighborhood strays. I wanted to spay my fifth stray, "Pittie," in hopes of better chances of rehoming her. My regular vet quoted me a "discounted" rate for a rescue, but the price couldn't even compare to the spay/neuter rate at Emancipet ($69). I made Pittie's initial spay appointment in August 2019; the earliest I could get her spayed was Feb 2020. I went forward with that date, but fortunately I was contacted by their team in early October and was able to get her in that same month. The process was easy. They email you all the pre-op info. You do an 8am drop off, and a 5pm pick up (unless contacted earlier). She was provided with pain meds, and post-opp instructions. I purchased 2 months worth of flea preventative, 2 months worth of heartworm preventative, spay services, and micro chipping, post opp meds ...all for $147! I was looking at $400 for spay services alone elsewhere. Good news is I can continue to purchase Pittie's flea + heartworm preventative meds at their discounted rate for a full year since she's their patient. Note they are not a full-service veterinary clinic. They do not diagnose or treat illnesses or injuries. They do, however, flea + tick control, heartworm prevention, microchipping, nail trim, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and other preventative medications. Thank you for serving the community, Emancipet. read more

Affordable and friendly staff! Very clean facility and they take donations to keep prices low!!

while it may not look like much or be the fanciest veterinarian in town, it is by far one of the most loving and caring. It is also very low cost. read more

Took my puppy here a week weeks ago to get her vaccinations. Very affordable prices and carrying staff. They have towels and water for the dogs as you wait. This is a walk in clinic so make sure you get here early enough so that your dog can get the care they need. Only down side is that you can't go in with your dog/cat and have to hand them off to the staff for them to be seen by the vet. Other than that. Great place and 10/10 recommend! read more

savings on vet services is honestly not worth dealing with these people. their policies and procedures for drop off, payment and pickup are very unclear and the condescension received if you go inside to ask a question is unbelievable. I dropped a pet off to be spayed. I was never asked her vaccination status but received a not so nice text saying that I had til 1pm to submit proof of vaccination status or she would be revaccinated at my expense. not only would I have been able to produce proof of vaccination but she went into surgery with her rabies tag on her collar. the particular day I was at the clinic their credit card machine was down so I dared to go into the clinic and see if I needed to come in and make payment with cash. again, condescending tone about how nothing would be done until exactly 4pm. the savings just aren't worth the hassle. read more

If you read and understand their website where they clearly describe the services they offer and those that they do not, you'll likely agree that this place is true gem for dog and cat owners. They are always super busy and long wait times (they don't take appointments for vaccinations) are not uncommon BUT have a great system in place for efficient service even during the pandemic and at quite reasonable prices. I visited on a Wednesday morning about 11am and got on the list for vaccinations and microchips for two kittens. They took my name, cell #, put me on the list and advised it would be about a four hour wait. But their waitlist system allowed me to leave and monitor my place on the list from my cellphone. When I was within about 20 minutes of being "next" on the list, I received a text to let me know that I should head back with the kittens at that time. I arrived back there about 15-20 minutes later and was immediately allowed into their socially distanced waiting room. My kittens were seen quickly and I was in and out in probably 15-20 minutes total. Again if you need the services they offer there is hands down no better place in town! read more

Emancipet is such an amazing place and I'm so happy I found it! The staff are super friendly and care is affordable. I brought my cats here for flea and worm medication and definitely will come back if i need care again read more

Great service. They are highly organized and thorough. You get in quick despite long waiting lines. The staff is so professional and they genuinely love taking care of all the pets that come through. Very affordable as well. read more

Amazing! This was the best place to get a spay for my cat, for a low cost and the staff was friendly. Before this, she started experiencing medical issues. She healed well and is now a happy camper. read more

We got our year and half old dog spayed today at such a reasonable price! They took her on a short notice thanks to Alyssa calling clinics for cancellations and were so welcoming the moment I stepped into the clinic! Providing much love and comfort to Appa as she was terrified. I felt so at ease leaving our dog with them for the surgery and they did a great job and were thorough with the aftercare instructions. She's got some healing to do but she will be just fine. Thank you all!!! read more

Emancipet - my sweet Appa got spayed - Veterinarians Near Me - Houston, Texas

Really great place to get vet care at an inexpensive price! Went to get my puppy spayed here. An appointment is needed, and drop off is at 8am, but a line was already forming outside way before that so If you have anywhere to be, I recommend being there very early to be one of the first in line! It took me about 40 minutes to get inside and fully drop off my pet. They explain all the prices and any recommended action so you leave knowing exactly what will be done and how much it'll be. They texted me before the expected 5pm to pick up at 4pm. At pick up, you pay at the front and drive to the back to get your pet and any needed meds/cone/directions. Overall, the ladies that helped explained everything well and were great with my pup! read more

Great staff and despite the modest setting, it's very professionally run and try to meet the high demand of affordable pet care. Definitely worth supporting this neighborhood institute. The wait can be long, but getting there and picking a day, the whole process can be done in 2 hours or less. read more

Very organized, compassionate with pets, kind, thorough. I was very happy and my dog did very well.

I'm fostering a small dog through Houston Pets Alive! and this is where the rescue has partnership with for preventive care. My foster girl Ginny was spayed on 7/3 and today (7/8) she also had her vaccine booster here. I'm so impressed with the care given to Ginny. Her incision was clean and neat and she had no complications recovering from the spay procedure. The vet techs and vet are compassionate. Even the sign-in tent workers are a pleasure! I'm so appreciative that there's a facility in Houston like Emancipet! Thank you everyone working there for your dedication and love for animals! It shows! read more

Emancipet - Ginny wants to thank the vets and vet techs at Emancipet! - Veterinarians Near Me - Houston, Texas

Where can I even begin! This place is amazing, every time we brought in our pets I always felt like they were in good hands. I always ask lots of questions when it comes to our lil babies and the staff has always been so kind and patient with me reassuring me and my partner and providing lots of helpful information and tips. They really have a good system going on and the pricing is great. We have had bad experiences with other places and we're so happy we found out of this place through a friend who couldn't say nothing but wonderful things about Emancipet. We took in our puppy to get spayed and she had such a quick and painless recovery from her surgery and her and our two cats get their shots and flea/heart worm from here and it's always a pleasant and smooth experience! I highly recommend this place! P.s Thank you so much Wendy for always being so sweet and patient with us you're the best! read more

My dog just got nurtured today. When I picked him up I noticed he had a smell to him. He had poop stuck on his fur and blood all over both back legs. I know stuff like this happens but a heads-up from the staff would've been appreciated. Especially since they took long to release him. Usually, I have good service from previous dogs, but this time they seem to not care. read more

Do not recommend coming here. They will rip you off and charge you for a service and not complete it. I paid $110 to get my cat neutered and his nails trimmed and they failed to trim his nails. When taking him back to have the service performed they were charging $10 extra to trim his nails when they were supposed to do this initially. Terrible service. read more

If you love your Pet DON'T bring them to this shit place! I am rating one star because I have to, I would put 0 if I could. I took my dog to get neutered here on Tuesday and he was severely bruised and his scrotum was swollen so I took him back in on Wednesday and the doctor prescribed more pain meds and a spray for anti itch. Now it's Saturday and his scrotum is even more swollen and has pus in the incision. I contacted the "Emergency" number that they have listed and there's no direct response, you have to leave your info and receive a call back. It wasn't until the 3rd time that I called that I received a "Text" back! Not even a call, A TEXT! And this woman was just the manager there, not a vet or technician. And i wait for about an hour until she talks to a vet and gets back to me. Just to tell me that I have to take my dog to an emergency vet because they don't open until Monday. I contact the emergency vet and they tell me that there is a 6hour wait time and the visit Just the VISIT will be $120! The only reason I drove an hour to Emancipet was because it was low cost! I don't have the money to go to a full service vet. Now if something happens to my baby before Monday I swear all hell will come down on Emancipet! I also want to add I took my dog to an Emergency vet that I trust dearly and was told that my dog should have been given antibiotics when he got neutered which emancipet says that he didn't need because he didn't have an infection according to them. Well $600 later at the emergency vet they told us his incision was extremely infected and my dog could have died because of this place. Please people pay the extra $50 and take your pet elsewhere. This place is ridiculous and I have yet to speak with someone that knows what they are doing. The manager from the Monroe location has no sympathy and no people skills whatsoever. I will be seeking Legal help. read more

Emancipet - Picture of infected scrotum - Veterinarians Near Me - Houston, Texas

Have gone to Emancipet in Houston for annual shots and in Austin for dental cleaning. So grateful to have this option for my pup.

Low cost vaccines come at a price: time, waiting, etc. There's a line before the clinic opens - wasn't too bad but the line snakes in once the doors open and you sign in and wait your time in line. I was 7th in line and it was about 2 hours of a wait. The shots are $15/ea and the office visit is only $5. Flea meds that I buy (Bravecto) were about $5 less for the 3 month pill. Overall I barely spent $100 and got everything I needed for my pet. I recommend if you aren't in a rush. Facility is clean and the vet is great. The receptionists seem a little over it and more on crowd control than anything. read more

The people where kind and professional. I didn't like the fact you had to go around and pick up your pets in a alley around the back of the building that was strange. Also I wish they didn't have to tattoo, they don't do that at the other place I used years ago but maybe that's new. Over all my puppies came out happy and healthy after the anesthesia were completely off they were back to normal:) read more

I recommend this place because the workers in the front desk are very kind, comprehensive and polite. They attended to my dog very well.

My dog, Summer, got heartworms. Someone recommended EMANCIPET on S Wayside. Not only they charged me less than one third of regular price of heartworms treatment in a full price veterinary clinic, but they treated my Summer as royalty. Very nice, humane, professional and efficient staff. Clean place. I am specially impressed by Mr. Hector Curiel's kindness. God bless you all in EMANCIPET. You are God's gift to our community. read more

Emancipet - Summer is happy and healthy! - Veterinarians Near Me - Houston, Texas

They talk about how every dog is welcome into their facility, but yet I bring my dog and they tell me that they can't perform such a simple surgery as him getting neutered. I waited in line for like 45 min before they let everyone in. Got in and the staff was super informative...except for the part where you sign a bunch of paper work with out them exposing you what's happening. read more

I absolutely love coming to Emancipet for my dog's health services. Staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and caring despite being so busy. Hector Curiel helped me through my dogs' heartworm treatment and I'm extremely grateful for his patience & care. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. They truly care for your pet. Go here, you won't regret it. read more

Emancipet is great! I took my cat here last week to get spayed. Before she was returned to me, a tech went over her care instructions and answered my questions. The staff is wonderful, and everyone truly cares about pets. There was a sweet lady there who was very nervous about her small dog. I overheard the most caring conversation between her and the tech who assured her that everything would be ok and explained the emergency number she could call if anything scared her while the clinic was closed. I have lots of experience with clinics, and Emancipet is, by far, the clinic with the biggest heart! I had no idea that nonprofits like this existed, and I couldn't be happier to find this one. read more

The line can get long since they're on a first-come, first-serve basis. So, arrive 1-2 hours before opening if you want to skip the wait. Prices are reasonable and can be found on their website. It was my first time bringing my dog there and I had a great experience. I like that the employees get things done in a timely fashion. read more
