My dog had been a patient for 5 yrs. My dog was my best friend. So I urge anyone who feels that way with any type of issue with their dog that might not be A broken leg, an obstruction, or anything anecdotally obvious to look somewhere else. I beg you. My dog had not eaten for 2 days. I was told if it went any longer that I should come in earlier than my original appt. The first issue was that the male receptionist agreed to move my appointment up by one day and I confirmed the appointment twice while on the phone with him..the original time he had said was 1030. I got there promptly, just to be told by the other receptionist there was no appointment for us. I explained the situation and I waited in the lobby for over an hour for them to squeeze me in. But my dog was sick and that was the priority. I understood this could be life or death. I told THEM that. He was 13 and not eating. You just know your dog. So I waited. The vet tech came out and spoke to me and I broke down because I knew that this could be end. You would think courtesy would be to at least have a room for me. I explained that to them nicely and they put me in a room. They recommended an x-ray and lab work. I didn't hesitate. Hindsight, I feel that the vet didn't listen to his entire history. My dog doesn't eat random things. He never has. I said this. An x-ray over an ultrasound seems silly now. It came back inconclusive. they recommended an ultrasound. Also hindsight, my dog was already not eating, and I had to fast him. I was told they normally come around 12/1. They were nice to squeeze me in, but my dog sat With an empty stomach from 10 PM the night before until 5pm The following day. I was told the ultrasound was inconclusive. Dr lowe Was supposed to be my dr. I can't assume why she didn't call me and handed it to the veterinary practice owner, Dr. Landry. But that was where the first misstep happened. My mother is a registered dietitian. Organ systems are not abnormal philosophical concepts for her. But we are losing a family member and so she let Dr. Landry speak to her in a manner that no man, or person, should ever speak to a woman. He explained we should do a biopsy. All she asked was " We don't want to put him through anything unnecessary, he already isn't eating and seems to be in pain, what do you think it is and is there anything we can do other than putting him under a biopsy and fasting him additionally? Is the biopsy for chronic conditions? Because we more than likely will not put him through treatment for anything extensive." He mansplained the liver, Used phrases like " *long pause* are you done?" "Is that it, can I answer now?" "Any more questions?" My fav-- "I won't JUDGE if you can't afford a biopsy" . To then get to a point where he let us know That there are some supplements he may do if there was two of the top three reasons that he would guess is going on. the way he spoke to my mother was so triggering in this moment that I grabbed the phone and let him know that we would not be working with him, and I wanted to speak to someone else. He ignored me and decided to tell me that all he could do is refer me to the specialist. I've never seen my 55-y/o mother cry from the way someone spoke to her until then. He apologized hours later. Veterinary care should be patient, kind, empathetic, and should consider the patient's entire history. My dog has been throwing up for 13 years every few months with bile. An anti-acid in the last five years was never recommended. A dog who has not been eating for three days but it's given an appetite simple seems Cruel In hindsight. considering the bile he's thrown up for the past 13 years, esophageal pain is very likely. Unfortunately, my mother and I were both in state where we were so upset that we relied on the professionals to help guide us. This clinic failed us. The outcome woulve been the same, but the compiled pain and grief on how we were treated is not OK. Money would never be the issue.I loved my pet with every part of me. I am sad that I trusted them in this moment. read more

See all

We recently took our newly acquired four year old toy Australian Shepherd dog (Zip) to Village Veterinary and Dr. Bringhurst. Dr Bringhurst had been highly recommended by a friend and he certainly lived up to the recommendation. He was friendly, communicated well and was a pleasure to visit with. We had a question on the day after our visit about an issue that had arisen with Zip. Dr. Bringhurst promptly returned our call and gave us advice on how to deal with the issue. Then, he even called later in the day to follow up. We are pleased and impressed by Dr Bringhurst. Village Veterinary Clinic staff and facilities were also excellent. read more

fantastic vet clinic! EVERYONE who works here is amazing, from the first phone call to the check-out!! wish i had found this clinic a long time ago! read more

Then nickel and dime me for everything and they make you come back for two appointments. I'm looking for a new vet..

We started bringing our dogs to Village Vet Clinic about a year ago. Our most recent experience reflects the quality of care and committed staff and vets at this clinic. My husband walked in with our dog a few minutes before closing with an injury to her paw and the staff and Dr Erica Poll were extremely helpful and friendly. It was a huge relief that Dr Poll saw our pet and helped treat her. Thank you Village Veterinary Clinic for your commitment and compassion!! read more

I did not like this place at all, and I'm normally a very kind person but when I came they eneded up telling me what I needed and took my puppy to do the shots they came back and her foot was bleeding !! They cut my dogs nails with out even asking me first and I had to find out my dog bleeding by myself ! I told them I was waiting to cut them at that time since I had only gotten her 3 days prior and wanted to do it myself and the lady kept pushing and asking me may I ask why like no it's my dog and my business. Then when they came back they told me they took my dog around the whole office meeting people and I was very upset because she was a new puppy that already had breathing problems that I noticed and we were trying to figure out if she way okay during that time and did not want other people touching her. She regularly gets her nails cut now, and I would have been fine if they cut her nails but only if they told me and the fact they made her bleed when she has white nails and you can see her blood vessel makes me annoyed. So be aware they make decisions without consulting you and don't even do them right. The people in the front office were very kind though but I'm sad to say I will not be coming back. read more

It is a very good clinic The Dr there is nice, they treat my dog good and professional!! My dog love them too Dog always know who treat them good or not read more

i have been a loyal customer for the past 20 years. they no longer care about the well being of your animals feel you are "privileged" to be their customer ! the ongoing turnover of the front office staff as well of the revolving door of their veterinarians who you NEVER have a consistent relationship with clearly depicts an environment that is focused on profits over than the care of your animals. If you are 10 minutes late for your appointment; they charge you an additional charge. however, in the last 12 months i have had to wait 20 -30 minutes after my scheduled appointment to see some new vet who knows nothing about my animal. Should u hate your animal and could less about their well being; Village Veterinary clinic in Hedwig Village iS the BEST PLACE take your animals ! read more

I brought my dog here because he had been throwing up excessively and was extremely lethargic. They did an exam, X-rays and bloodwork and charged me almost $600. The found nothing, never mind that he was showing signs of pancreatitis. He was going between feeling good then bad. I took him to a different vet a few weeks later. They tested him for pancreatitis and then diabetes. He was positive for both. Pancreatitis can be deadly and causes diabetes. We will never know if they had caught it if that would have prevented the diabetes. Now my dog is on insulin and other medications. How do you take a dog in with dramatic symptoms, have all these expensive things done and find nothing to a few weeks later my dog being deathly ill? Everything I researched told me if my dog was vomiting over and over and feeling lethargic to get him to a vet. Too bad no one told this vet something was wrong. Careless and so potentially dangerous. I would never take my pets here again. My dog could have died and they have $600 I could have paid for my dog's insulin that he now has to take for the rest of his shortened life. I really regret going here because I love my dog so much and they don't care about him at all. read more

I wanted to share my feedback as I am experiencing a very genuine sense of disappointment. Being an Aggie (a Texas A&M graduate), I was happy to discover the Village Veterinary Clinic had numerous Aggie Doctors at the clinic. I assumed that, if nothing else, I would have an honest, honorable experience. After initially treating our dog Max for in excess of $2,000, I was happy with the outcome. Unfortunately he had a relapse with the infection which we discovered early on a Saturday morning. We called the clinic to see if we could get him in that day. We were told that they were very busy and couldn't fit him in. We were disappointed but understood. So, we asked if we could just pick up a refill of his antibiotic that had worked so well in his initial treatment. We were told that they would run it by the doctor and call us back. After several hours we had not received a call so we called again. Again we were told that they would run it by the doctor. The clinic closed that day without us ever receiving so much as a phone call to say yes or no to the refill. We ended up taking him to an emergency clinic and started all over with a new doctor and another Consultation fee. I am now left with the feeling that this clinic is about the money grab and doesn't really care about the well being of it's patients. Thoroughly disappointing for a bunch of Aggies.

brought my dog there because he limps on his back leg. after almost $600 and several vets looking at his X-rays they weren't sure if it was his knee or something more so the referred me to gulf coast vet. They put him on painkillers. so, after a year of me getting these meds they send me a couple emails saying it's time for his shots. I email them and say I had a breeder come and give him the shots since his leg is hurting I try not to haul him around. they say ok just send in the records. At the same time I order his painkillers, he's on 2. they refuse his meds saying they haven't seen him for a while. they didn't say anything about he needed a office visit to continue his medication and could have said I'll give him a 1 month prescription but I need to see him before I give you any more meds. what kind of vet would just stop a dogs pain meds without notice of needing a office visit? one that cares about money instead of the pet. So I brought him into another vet and got his meds. I would never go back to a vet that can't communicate and would leave a dog in pain. read more

Let's just say their billing is shit! They don't charge on the same day you receive service. Only person worth it there is Dr Landry. They don't tell you price changes, charge for prescription food and never received it. Again their billing dept is shit read more

I recommend this practice if visiting Dr. Landry or Dr. Miller. We recently visited with Dr. Rachel Walsh and our bill came out to $645 for a stomach bug. Ridiculous. I was aware that $300 was for X-RAYS and blood work, but nothing else was discussed. There was also an unnecessary fecal exam, that she kindly refunded me on. Last, he was sent home with two different pills, which I did not take home. I didn't understand why she would give him a shot, and then a box of (4) pills of the same "shot" to take home. It would have more cost effective if she gave him one of the pills so I wasn't paying for the same thing twice. There were two separate medicines she did this with. She was very kind, but not a doctor I would personally recommend. read more

Best Vet Clinic In Houston! I've been coming here since I was a little boy with my first puppy! The entire Staff at Village Veterinary Clinic always makes me feel like family when I walk in the door! From Dr. Miller, to Dr. Landry, to the front staff with Kim and Robin, they take great care of our animals, and do so for my entire family! Keep up the great work y'all! read more

I've started taking my dog here after hearing good things from a friend. Both Dr. Walsh and Dr. Landry are amazing and explain things very well. My expectations are met each and every time I come here. I've never had to wait more than five minutes after checking in, and scheduling an appointment was really easy. Robin has always found an appointment that works for me and I think my dog has a crush on Shana, one of the Techs. Shana is always gentle with our dog and quickly gets all of the procedural stuff out of the way. This place is a little bit pricier than say Banefield a few miles down I-10 but in my experience the practice is just better and worth it. I would recommend this place to anyone with a pet. read more

Everyone is so friendly! From the receptionist, to the vet techs, to the veterinarians! They are all amazing. We have seen multiple doctors and don't have a complaint about any of them. We recently saw Dr. Miller and he went above and beyond to make sure our dog gets everything she needs. Best vet clinic around! read more

Great curbside service! This was my first time here and they seemed great. I will be coming back.

My poor pup had a nasty ear infection and was nearly scratching his whole ear off. Village veterinary clinic saw me within 30 minutes of my initial phone call without being a previous customer even though they were busy with their daily schedule. I was thankful that they accommodated me on such a short notice but more importantly it was the love and care they gave Buzz when we both arrived. The administrative staff, nurse, and doctor were all very friendly and professional and I couldn't have been happier with my visit. After just moving to Houston, I found a place where I don't have to stress about my dogs health, knowing he's in good hands. Thank you Village Vet clinic and a special thanks to our nurse Ashley read more

My parents used to bring our family dog here until she passed away, and I recently started bringing my own rescue. Every time I'm in the waiting room, I see each staff member treat owners and pets with respect and kindness. They make an effort to know and remember everyone's name. I needed a health certificate for my dog so I could fly back with him and I called very last-minute to see if they could fit him in. They were extremely accommodating and nice. I recommend this clinic to ALL pet owners because the staff is truly like no other. read more

Started coming here about 5 years ago when I moved to the area. The Vets and all of the staff are incredible. They know and care about their patients and families. They are always careful to explain all aspects of treatment and do a great job of following up after every appointment. I recommend them regularly to family and friends. read more

The very helpful folks here and their sensitivity to my puppies needs are unmatched in my previous several Vets

I was a loyal customer her for at least 12 years with no issues. They changed Vets several times, but I was always happy with the care. We moved and continued to drive back here because they knew my 2 dogs. Fast forward. New Vet said that my 12 tear old dog needed her teeth cleaned which would require anesthesia. Never heard of cleaning a dog's teeth, but they said it would make her live longer. So, I agreed. Then they wanted to cut off some fatty deposits while she was under. Totally unnecessary as we put her through a lot of pain and they grew right back. This bill was over $500! Then, they ran blood tests on my other dog and said he had heart worms. The treatment was over $800. I was shocked because my dogs are indoor dogs and we did heart worm meds. We missed only 2 weeks of these meds. So, he had me give him 2 pills a day for 2 weeks to prepare for the treatment. We questioned the diagnosis, and they showed us lab results confirming diagnosis. I considered getting a second opinion and should have. Anyways, we took him in for the main treatment (which I hear is very hard on dogs). He was supposed to stay overnight. I got a call that afternoon from the Vet. He said he had good news and bad news. Good news was that he reran labs and my dog DID NOT have heart worms after all. Bad news was the lab was wrong the first time! So, he said to pick up my dog and that the bill would only be $380.00. I hit the roof. I said,"so I paid for and gave my dog 2 weeks of unnecessary medications due to your mistake, and you want to charge me money?" He said "Well, you were going to pay $800." As if congratulating himself for telling the truth! Then I told him he had just lost a customer. He said he would only charge me $180 to cover his costs because the additional tests (that he did not clear with me first) "gave us good information". My helper who takes the dogs for me since I am disabled and do not drive, went to argue with him on the charge,. He begrudgingly dropped them. I will never go back!!! More info; Dr. Landry called me multiple times to resolve. I think he felt very bad about all of this. He offered to refund the cost of the meds. Found receipt for $138.00. Lab required me to bring my dog in for further blood tests to disprove heart worms before they would do a refund. My dog is very skittish, and I don't live close, so I declined. I was contacted and asked to take this review down. I have changed vets, but will increase stars on this review due to the efforts made to make this situation right. read more

I called to request an appointment because my dog was limping and they were able to see us the same-day-- such a relief! From the greeting to the goodbye, Dr. Walsh and her staff are incredible. They made me and my dog feel so comfortable and welcome. I initially decided to go here based on the 5 star reviews and Village Veterinary Clinic exceeded my expectations!! read more

My family has been coming here for nearly 15 years and could not be more happy with the care, service, and professionalism!! They are always quick to answer the phone, even when I've called several times in a row. They know all of our animals and truly want the best for them. We recently had our dogs neutered, and the surgery was so successful the dogs don't even seem to be in pain. I cannot say enough good things about Village Vet! Thank you for all that y'all do for our beloved fur covered family members!! read more

I just started with Village Veterinary Clinic and I'm very happy with the Dr. Miller and the office. The front office staff are all friendly and efficient. Dr. Miller is great with my pets. No long waits. So glad I found this office. read more

Referred by former veterinarian to this practice because of moving in area. Staff was very proactive in getting us registered as a new patient. Staff proactively worked with former vets staff in transferring of records. Quick turnaround time and was greeted by Sam Miller DVM. Excellent service and they even gave us Christmas toys. Smaller practice where check-in /check-out isn't a "three-ring circus. Highly impressed with Sam Miller DVM and his staff! read more

We had a great first visit at Village Vet! After an unpleasant experience at a previous vet, Village Vet were so caring and accommodating to my 2 year old stray dog that is nervous around new people. They took the time for her to warm up to them and truly seem to love animals. Dr. Miller is great and I am so glad they will be our permanent vet. If you want a vet that will treat your pet as their own, this is the place!! read more

Have been going to Village Veterinary Clinic for many years. Love Dr. Davis and love the new owners, Dr. Landy and Dr. Miller. The new Dr., Rachel Walsh, is excellent, too. They take their time with each client and treat the animals with love. The clinic is immaculate and Robin and Suzanne in the business office are great. read more

I have had very good , professional care at Village Veterinary Clinic over the last 5 years. We lost out beloved dog in March, 2015 due to an accident , Dr. Sam Miller made a condolence call and made a donation to Texas A&M Veterinary School Discretionary fund in our dog Buddy's name, a thoughtful gesture that I still get choked up over. read more

I've gone here for years with multiple pets (cats & dogs) and always have a pretty good experience. Things seem reasonably priced (though I've never had to deal with major surgeries like some other reviewers), and the vets (I've had many different ones) are willing to answer all of my questions -- after a little pushing. It does kind of have a dog lover's feel to it though, since they only carry dog treats. read more

I have lived in Houston my whole life and have been to many veterinary clinics around the city, and Village Veterinary Clinic is one of my favorites. The staff are always welcoming are are extremely caring for my pets. It has a very personal feel to it where most of the employees know me and my pet immediately when we walk through the door. The prices are not as cheap as some of the quick drive through clinics, but they are very comparable for many other clinics in the area. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a clinic that treats their patients as it they were their own. read more

All the staff & all the doctors are great! Dr. Landry has been taking good care of my elderly cat, even when she tries to scratch him!

There is simply no one better. We have three dogs that have thrived under their care. They are welcoming, ,skilled, available and compassionate from the front desk to the doctors. Whenever I go it always feels like visiting family....wish they took care of people! Allyson read more

I absolutely love this Veterinary clinic. I have used every vet here and they are all fantastic, but my personal favorite is the new female vet who is extremely patient and thorough and will always follow up with a call if there was a potential issue. I have recommended several friends of mine from the memorial area and they all have had excellent experiences. I am a dog owner and have extremely high standards for its care and this is only clinic I have been to where I know I'm getting world-class treatment on a consistent basis. read more

My lab has been going here for 6 1/2 years and we LOVE village vet!! Extremely nice at front desk and whenever I need her shot records faxed somewhere they are very prompt. Will continue to use Village Vet for years to come!! read more

We have used Village Vets for the past 18 years! Would not go anywhere else!! The staff is amazing and Dr Miller is awesome. Super fast, and if I can't stay and wait, I drop our dog off for the morning and pick him up when it's convenient. read more
