I have a pug so her breathing becomes exasperated from too much stimulation. After 40 minutes and seeing the vet walk into the room of another patient that came in 30 minutes after us, I went and asked one of the ladies behind the counter to let everyone know that we couldn't wait any longer and that we needed to leave. Our first appointment was at 2:00 for the first dog and then the other two were immediately following so we couldn't understand why we weren't being seen. I ended up leaving my other dog with my friend and her dog and immediately left to get my girl home so she could come down from the heavy panting. The staff made her wait another 15 minutes and then charge us for blood work and never even came back to us with the results. Total disappointment. I thought all the rumors about how bad the service is were going to be debunked in this visit however, Galveston Veterinary Clinic really lived up to the negative reviews. I will say that if you are a regular patient there, you do seem to get preferential treatment, so there's that.

If you can't return a call when someone's pet is sick, you are not the vet for me.

Very surprised to see such a low rating here. After reading the numerous 1-star reviews, I see why…read moreand it's because almost all of them are missing the point and judging it based on some preconceived idea or notion that isn't remotely applicable. To operate at such a large scale with incredibly thorough medical care imposes a high financial risk for any business let alone one that is focused on pets found in horrendous conditions all across the state. I cannot believe there is 1-star review for someone saying, "you should just go get a bred dog for these prices." That's a different can of worms which is incredibly unfortunate to even read as that completely defeats the purpose shelters work so hard for. Needless to say, I'd much rather pay more $$ for a rescue than a bred animal so someone can make a pretty penny forcing animals to give birth for their pocketbook's sake. Now, why this shelter is actually amazing and does not deserve anything less than 5 stars (other than strikes for employee customer service experiences as of course those are more than valid): The state of Texas is so behind when it comes to managing strays and animals in general across the state. There are so many shelters that resort to putting down animals as there is such a massive volume of pets abused, isolated, abandoned, etc. I won't get into that, but suffice to say, the state/conditions a lot of these animals come in with are less than stellar. This shelter goes above and beyond for Texas' animals' wellbeing and ensures they are healthy and well looked after, not stuck in cages all day long. Moreover, they reach out to other states who are much more kind to pets and bring literal truckloads of animals up interstates to deliver to folks who will love and care for them. I think that's fantastic as it helps provide a need in other areas while also lessening the incredible burden Texas has put on itself with its mediocre pet laws and prosecution efforts. TL;DR - I received the most amazing 1-year old "aggressive breed" from this shelter who is an absolute angel and fixture in our family. The amount of care and trust they put in has absolutely wowed me and I am sure to attend their fundraisers and help in other ways I can. If you are looking for a life partner, please go here and help support the tremendous things they do for Houston and the state as a whole. Know that your money will be much better served here than elsewhere and while you may have bad customer service experiences, just know that the people that work here are more animal people than people people lol and that's a good thing!
