After reading the reviews on this clinic I feel compelled to post my own. I have 5 dogs and 4 cats. I trust the staff at this clinic with all of my pets needs. Expensive? Yes, but a fair and competitive price for the exceptional care I receive for all of my fur babies. Dr. B..... I love him. He is brutally honest and has a very strong personality but that is what I love about him. I am the same and I enjoy my visits with him and his staff. I have never received anything but quality care with my pets. He's always on point with his diagnosis and we always have a pleasant visit. My dogs have always been stressed during vet visits in the past. Not at this clinic. Do I call sometimes and get placed on hold? Absolutely, but I also understand I am not the only patient / client they have. I tried other veterinary clinics since moving here 4 years ago. My search is over. I'm sticking with Dr. B and his staff. read more

This clinic advertises that they accept emergency walk-ins, even for new patients--but that was not my experience. I called ahead to let them know I would be arriving after 1 p.m. because my cat needed to be placed on IV. I had already provided paperwork the previous day. When I arrived, the receptionist did not greet me and was extremely rude. She cursed at me, called me a liar and a fraud, and said they do not provide emergency services for new patients. I asked to speak with the doctor on call. The veterinarian came out, and unfortunately, I was treated in the same dismissive and unprofessional manner. They claimed they were too busy and had patients waiting, although the lobby was empty at the time. Instead of examining my cat right away, they took me to the back and spoke to me for about 10 minutes without properly checking on my pet. After briefly glancing at my cat, they said, "It looks like we can't help you or your cat." I have this interaction recorded. It is very concerning for a clinic to advertise emergency services for new patients if they are unwilling to provide them. They also require a deposit before giving you paperwork to complete. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this clinic. read more

If you are from Ingleside like me, then you probably know this already, but this guy is not known for being very nice. This is by far the most condescending person in the field of animal care that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. If you enjoy having someone talk down to you with sarcastic comments and insult you in your time of need while telling you that you don't know about your own animals, then this vet might be right for you. I took my dog there about six months ago in a pretty desperate situation, and he was just absolutely awful. He insulted me he was rude, and he was not even answering the questions I was asking him. I'm not perfect but this guy was on another level. Bottom line, I took my dog and left and told him where to stick it. Then took my dog to a reputable vet, who actually cares about me, my questions, and my animals. I highly recommend that you avoid this place at all costs. read more

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because of the front desk. Every time I call I'm put on hold and forgotten - sat on hold 7 minutes before I hung up today and 5 minutes the previous time. Half the time I get hung up on. I then send emails about my requests and they don't respond and snark off about how busy they are and they don't check emails. So that makes me snark off about being put on hold every time I call. So then it becomes a snark fest. I get it. Y'all are busy. If I didn't like how well dogs respond to the vet techs and the vet himself, I would take them elsewhere. Oh and when I called to set up boarding for last weekend I specifically told them we had 3 dogs (got a new puppy). I sent over vax records for the 3rd dog. I emailed to confirm 3 dogs. Texted to confirm 3 dogs. We get there, no record of my 3rd dog anywhere. When I told them on the phone that I wanted to start bringing the puppy there too and schedule her snip snip, she blew me off. Your front desk needs serious help and attitude adjustment. read more

We had our two shih-tsu groomed here today and she did an amazing job. Our female is 11 years old and our male is 8 and they both came out from grooming looking so nice. We were in this area for the winter, so weren't sure where to go for their grooming. We would recommend Ingleside for grooming. read more

had taken my dog for a bit of an emergency. He had ripped his skin above his left rear hip. It was torn badly. The CS said they could help , took him in and would call. I was called after everything was done. Not before. The vet attending him was very full of himself and basically talked down to me. They said they had cleaned the wound and stapled it shut. No meds were given during or after. The staples pulled apart the next day, there heavy drainage from infection and I had to take him to another emergency vet. Were they had to take out infected tissue, remove dead skin and sedated and put in stitches. I also was given a two-week supply of antibiotic's and pain medication. When I talked to Ingleside and told them what happen they could have cared less. They have sent me a letter stated they will never see my dog again and have deleted all his files. If you are looking for sarcasm. Holier than though attitude and don't care about your pets health and just want to be ripped off this the place to go. Roy R. read more

I am a Winter Texan. I brought my 14 month old puppy to this clinic because I suspected a bladder or a urinary tract infection. The clinic staff and technicians were very professional and kind, however, the vet, Dr. Broussard was absolutely horrible! I have NEVER been treated in such a rude, condescending, and unprofessional manner in all my life! I brought in a urine sample, and told them that my dogs water intake was normal, and nothing had changed suddenly. This asshole of a vet STARTED the conversation by telling me I was wrong, that his pee was too light, and that he HAD been drinking more water than usual. When I told him that I was the one who lived with my dog, and knew my dog, he again questioned my judgement. In fact he questioned my knowledge of my own dog's breed when I shared the scientific DNA results with him, he even questioned my judgement about being from Minnesota! Said in a VERY condescending tone "Why on God's earth would you want to live THERE"?! It then got worse. He began to examine my dog, shoving a thermometer FAR up my dog's butt, and twisted it! Then he started roughly palpating my dog's tummy. When my puppy cried at his touch (WTF?!) and I reached out to comfort my baby, the vet scolded me for letting my own dog!! "He will bite you as I'm examining him"! I promptly told him to go to hell, as he had NO BUSINESS telling me I wasn't allowed to pet my own dog, leashed my dog, and walked out, NEVER TO RETURN! I cannot believe how poorly I was treated, and not only that, I walked out without a diagnosis! Don't ever take your animal to this clinic unless you want to be treated like trash! Unacceptable! read more

Felt the need to leave a review because after leaving Texas and moving back home, we have yet to find another vet this great! Low wait times, professional & always reasonably priced. Every single time I went in I had my concerns addressed and they always tried to make it as cost effective as possible. Wish I could say the same for the vets in New Orleans! read more

Dr. Broussard is not just a good veterinarian, he's a great doctor! He explains things so that it's easy to understand and does not spend your money unnecessarily. Thank you. read more

Ingleside Animal Hospital - Pet Sitting Near Me - Ingleside, Texas

Since I don't live in the Coastal Bend at present, I want to say a few farewell words about Ingleside Animal Hospital and Dr. Broussard and the crew. I'm hoping that when we get moved into our house in San Antonio, we'll be able to "commute" three hours to take our cats to see their friends at this clinic. That's right--that's how great it is, it's worth a six-hour round trip! I can't say enough good things about the caring staff at Ingleside, and if my cats could talk, they'd agree. We miss you, all of you, and we thank you for the amazing care we've received from this clinic. You're the best. read more

This hospital is only in business for the money. The price is ridiculously high for any service, the staff can be rude, & there are stories from in-town of services of animals passing away, rejected, arrogant attitudes, & always about the price-before-service. read more

I'm new to the area and my dog was sick . They worked her in and as soon as I walked in the door they were very professional and super kind ! Dr. Rick was very informative and everyone that worked there was so sweet ! I am so thankful that I found this place . read more

I've been using Ingleside Animal Hospital since I moved here several years ago and wouldn't consider trying any other vetinerary service. Staff is great and Dr. Ricky is very thorough in his treatment of my pets as well as his explanations to me. read more

The staff and Dr Ricky are amazing. They take care of our children with great care and are always upfront about the issues.

This review is only about the grooming service and has nothing to do with the veterinarian. I had only taken my dogs there once before to have them groomed. There was nothing out of the ordinary until I arrived home and noticed my small dog was bleeding from her nails. I took her back and they stopped the bleeding. This was not a very big deal to me because they were able to help my dog out so I did not think much of it. I called to set up an appointment today and they refused service to me because they said they had problems with the owners of the dogs. I was baffled. This is the first time I have ever been refused service. I will never visit or recommend this place to anyone else. read more

For thanksgiving weekend we decided to board our dogs because it's a 7 hour drive and didn't want to take them that far. However, our current vet that we board with, told us the day before our trip that they would no longer board us because my dog had diarrhea once. We got in at Ingleside and they were soooo amazing. So sweet and helpful and our dogs loved them. On the way in and out, i saw other dogs trying to escape their own owner to go back to the vet. A+ all around. read more

I have been using Dr. Broussard for about 10 years. While his a little more expensive than other vets he is always been awesome with my dogs. I will never use anyone else. I do have to agree with the reviewer about the groomer they have on staff, I have never been comfortable with her. Thank you read more

If you know what's good for you and your pet my suggestion would be RUN! This man is nothing short of a crook when it comes to our pets. He is all about lining his pockets and taking complete advantage of the elderly. He charges a fortune, talked in circles, would not answer questions and just kept saying this is serious. Okay, what is serious and what can we do about it. I called the next day to get the diagnosis and I was told I had to make a "paying" appointment to obtain that information. WHAT???? For the HUGE amount of money that had been paid the day before he should have given the diagnosis! Our family was so upset because we could see our pet was suffering but we had no clue what was wrong. We decided to take our pet over to Portland to the Portland Animal Clinic and Hospital. OMG these people were GREAT!!! Right out of the gate they told us our pet had cancer that had pretty much spread throughout the body and there was really no quality of life left and there was a great deal of suffering happening. We knew at that point it was time to say goodbye and we were so grateful for their honesty and compassion. However, the Ingleside vet wanted to run all kinds of very expensive tests (when he knew the pet wouldn't survive) and have us administer meds. SHAME ON HIM FOR DOING THIS TO ONE OF OUR FAMILY MEMBERS. We should have listened to the community and stayed away from him. We were warned but failed to comply. Our baby is in heaven and free of all pain! read more
