Called to see if we can get some flea medication prescribed and they said I'd need to come in and…read moreget a checkup which they estimate will cost 80 but we all know what this place does once it has your dog in the door. They upsell as much as they can because they know most dog owners care and love for their dog but don't have enough knowledge on really what they need. They bring up a bunch of shots your dog supposedly needs and then if you decline they still inject them with it citing that it's the law. But the lazy doctor still leaves out the syringes for the assistant to pick up (see video in previous comment) I tried to give them one more chance after going to them for year but I'm done and this is a warning to all, that this place is an up charge hell!

We have three dogs and Dr. Sigler has taken care of them and our previous older dogs for years…read more One had contact dermatitis so bad he couldn't even open his eyes and we had spent at least $500.00 trying to help him with no luck. Dr. Sigler took one look, put him on Apoquel and within 12 hours my little guy was healing up. Our most recent visit last week was when our border collie managed to land on rebar that we didn't know was next to our fence. We took him in the next morning for surgery, the doctor did a fantastic job and he's bouncing around good as new. Everyone at Texas City Animal Hospital is wonderful with all of the animals and they really care. The price is so reasonable! I'm paying about half of what other vets in the area have charged me in the past. They also work to get you in as soon as possible because they know you only want to help them as quickly as you can. I highly recommend them.

Do "NOT" bring your beloved animal to this unprofessional, scam artist - chop shop…read more My veterinarian diagnosed my dog's health being in a dire situation that required 24/7 care. My veterinarian recommended Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic. Everything was being facilitated through my veterinarian's office. When I arrived with my dog, Eva ripped me a new one up one side and down the other. Quote- Unquote per Eva: "We do not take care of animals that need 24/7 care." "We do not take care of animals with these kind of medical issues." Let me state the obvious for Eva! The sign for Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic is; "24/7" Yes, I went unhinged at Eva for her unprofessionalism and disrespectful yelling at an owner with a sick dog. Although, it was 4th of July weekend, I knew in my heart, that if it was meant to be, I needed to let my dog pass away at home with dignity, respect, compassion, and love. I was literally walking out the door with my dog to go home. All of a sudden Eva stopped me from leaving and she had a different attitude and the paperwork was in order. I put down a $8,500 deposit for four days which also included a 2% credit card fee. SCAM ARTISTS!!! I found zero comfort in the updated phone calls every morning around 7am. Dr. Coffey did not have the professionalism to call the veterinarian who performed the ultrasound on my dog and request the imaging and report. That is called being; "Unprofessional and Lazy" How could Dr. Coffey properly perform her job without the ultrasound imaging and report? Dr. Linton, owner, spoke to me like she was a robot. All I heard from Dr. Linton was; "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH" Dr. Hardegree was Mr. Hooray "Rah, Rah, Rah" cheerleader who was truly trying to make me believe my dog did an immediate health turnaround and was coming home. He literally told me the diagnostic tests showed great improvement. (enzymes, counts, and values were all improving) Yes, my dog had a long road to full recovery but Dr. Hardegree saw no reason why my dog couldn't and wouldn't recover and live a full healthy life. I explained this in detail to my veterinarian regarding Dr. Hardegree's new diagnosis. I heard nothing on the other end of the phone - pure silence, which told me that Dr. Hardegree was full of it and giving me false hope. Basically, Dr. Hardegree bold faced lied to me. My veterinarian was in dismay regarding Dr. Hardegree's diagnosis. I told my veterinarian to examine my dog and call me back immediately because I am picking up my dog tonight. He called me back and said; "Your dog is not improving. How long will it take you to get here?" I picked up my dog about a half hour later. The total cost was just under $10,000 including a plethora of medications to take home. Less than 12 hours later my dog passed away at home. Although, my heart is completely shattered, I have comfort in knowing that my dog passed away in my arms. My dog was not in pain or suffering but passed away with total dignity, respect, compassion, and love. After telling this story, let me state very clearly and concisely that I know how I was treated by the staff which was beyond unprofessional, disrespectful, disgraceful, and utterly appalling. I damn well know that my dog, a helpless sick animal, was treated even worse. Although, I listened to the professional advise of my veterinarian and I do believe that my veterinarian was truly looking out for the best interest of my dog. I knew in my heart it was a grievous mistake leaving my dog at Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic and I now have to live with that mistake. The bottomline, I should have felt reassured that my faith and trust for my beloved dog was placed in the right hands. I will pay anything for the professional and ethical care of my beloved dog(s). Sadly, my faith and trust was most certainly misplaced! Beloved Pet Owner's Beware!!! THIS REVIEW IS "NOT" BASED ON EMOTIONS. IT IS BASED ON THE TRUTH AND PURE FACTS!!! Any response from the owner is 100% superfluous. I do "not" want to hear the owner's BS lies!!! UPDATE CASE IN POINT: "SHAME" ON THE INSIDER AT PEARLAND 288 ANIMAL EMERGENCY CLINIC, LINSEY FALK, WHO WROTE A REVIEW THAT WAS DIRECTED, SOLELY, AT ME. I NEVER MET NOR SPOKE TO LINSEY FALK. SHE IS NOT LISTED ON ANY OF THE MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING MY DOG. SHE IS TRYING TO SPEAK ABOUT ISSUES INTELLIGENTLY WHEN SHE HAS NO BASIS TO SPEAK UPON THESE ISSUES ACCURATELY. FOR THE RECORD, REVIEWS ARE FOR BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES. MANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS CALL OUT CERTAIN VETERINARIAN'S BY NAME REGARDING THEIR DISHEARTENING EXPERIENCE(S). IF PEARLAND 288 ANIMAL EMERGENCY CLINIC CAN'T HANDLE THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW, BASED ON THE TRUTH AND PURE FACTS, THEN THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THIS WITH THE VETERINARIAN'S DIRECTLY AS TO WHY THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW WAS WRITTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

We can't say enough wonderful things about this veterinary clinic and the entire team. From the…read moremoment you walk in, everyone is kind, compassionate, and truly cares about the animals and the families who love them. Recently we had to make the heartbreaking decision to put our sweet dog, Baylee, to sleep. It was one of the hardest moments our family has gone through, but the staff treated us with such empathy, patience, and dignity throughout the entire process. They made sure Baylee was comfortable and that we had the time and space we needed to say goodbye. A few days later, we received a beautiful sympathy card from the clinic. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and showed just how deeply they care about their clients and their pets. We are incredibly grateful for the love and compassion they showed Baylee and our family. This team is truly special, and we are thankful to have such wonderful people caring for our pets.

They basically were kinda dry, but I did find the assistant the vet was with very kind. Long curly hair. Very sweet woman. My main qualm was that I was quoted upwards of 4k$ in surgeries. I was a bit gob smacked at the price. I then went to another vet, Clay Road Animal Clinic (a place known for being fair and realistic) and was quoted $550 for the same surgery, and they explained in detail what could be expected. My dog also generally enjoyed their presence more, which I do take into account. They also took more steps to know about what was going on internally, suggesting x-rays, which was very affordable in comparison to elsewhere. While at this Alvin clinic it was more so like a shrugging their shoulders reaction, like what do ya want me to do about it from here. This vet isn't bad by any means, but just not for me. Too expensive for at best average care. And in daunting situations, while of course they are more than willing and upfront to work within your price range, sometimes things are scary and people don't know the next steps and need these things more broken down for them. All I left with after this vet was a printed out information google webpage, and an attempt to upsell (in my opinion) on vaccines. Like I said, just not for me.

Having moved further south we have been in need of a new PCV (Primary Care Veterinarian,…read moretrademarked). It's rare that we have to go to the doctor outside of our annual vaccination visits, but as my kids are aging, it's important to get periodic checkups. After looking at reviews from nearby locations, we decided to give above and beyond a try. We brought Phoebe in for a split toenail that started bleeding a little bit. They took of care of her, and got her fixed up quickly. No fuss. Dalé (Dahl-ay) went in for a suspicious scab on her chin and an old dog checkup. And she came back with perfect test results and no lasting issues. At 13 my girl is doing fantastic. Throughout our visits, the staff have been fantastic from the front desk to the technicians to the veterinarians. Everyone has been very welcoming. The dogs have been very comfortable and everything was done with such great care. In addition to bail triage we've had shots, fine needle aspirations, and urine tests. There wasn't so much as a whimper out of them. Treats and cheese make them compliant. As we were going through questions and treatment options and things like that that we discussed cost so nothing was surprising as it came through. Very appreciative of the time taken to teach and understand everything. Highly recommend this practice. Check them out.

Anyway, I know vets are expensive, but, there has to be a better way. It was tough walking out of there, knowing nothing was wrong with her after handing over that kind of money. Anyway, they are good vets, my sister loves them and they have taken good care of her dogs.
