Services
Between 1 and 6 years of age, our pets are in the prime of their lives. This is the time they venture out of adolescence into adulthood. But it is also during this time that some diseases can begin to affect our pet's health. These diseases can go unnoticed in their early stages and, if left undetected, can put your pet's health at risk and even shorten their life.
Your pet's diet has a definite impact on their health. According to a recent study, over half of U.S. cats and dogs are overweight. A few pounds may not mean much to your body, but to your pet, a few pounds can add to a lot of stress to bones and organs. This can be even more stressful with San Antonio's hot spring and summer weather.
Vaccinating your pet is a simple procedure and is proven to save lives. Many diseases that were once fatal to dogs and cats are now under control due to modern vaccines. Vaccinating your pet is well worth the financial commitment. Bulverde Animal Hospital offers pet vaccinations to prevent against Kennel Cough, Feline Distemper, and more in Country Hills, Stone Oak, and San Antonio, TX.
Bulverde Animal Hospital is proud to be Country Hills TX's Veterinary Clinic of choice providing pet dental care services for dogs and cats. It's unfortunate, but it is estimated that over 80 percent of pets have significant dental problems. Every day, we are presented with patients for routine vaccinations or other minor afflictions whose oral health is truly cause for alarm.
When pet surgery is necessary, trust the capabilities of Dr. Kothmann and our Veterinary Clinic. You can feel confident that your dog or cat is in good hands; whether it's for the suturing of a simple laceration or something as complicated as tumor removal, he has the experience you need. Bulverde Animal Hospital has extensive experience and advanced training in pet surgery serving Country Hills, TX and the surrounding area.

These folks have cared for our animals for many years. Dr. Elbel has ALWAYS pinpointed our animals problem almost immediately- no kidding- EVERY TIME! The staff, though there are many pets/clients, always treat me and other I’ve witnessed as if I’m the most important. I love this clinic and thank them for their tireless work.

I don't think it could have been any better. Dr. Woods returned my call personally and was able to fit me in the schedule right before lunch to see 8 puppies all at once. She was very thorough and explained everything. At the end of the visit the bill was brought in and discussed with me and I was asked if I wanted the additional labs and meds that she was recommending before being charged for them. Do to financial reasons I had to decline the labs and was not made to feel pressured about getting them. Dr. Woods and the staff were very kind and I will continue to bring my fur babies to her when

We have used Bulverde Animal Hospital since we arrived home with our little puppy 2 years ago. We usually see the wonderful Dr. Woods but everyone there has been caring and kind. We do not hesitate to recommend Bulverde Animal Hospital.

The team at Bulverde Animal Hospital is wonderful. I love Dr. Wood! She is always ready to listen when I am concerned for my animals. She doesn't push me into any treatments I'm not absolutely comfortable with. Her bedside manner with animals AND pet lovers is as kind and sweet and straightforward as you can get. On top of that, the prices are affordable, so you get top tier care without going broke AND they help you understand all the costs BEFORE the treatment so you can make choices and not end up with painful sticker shock at check out.

We took our dog to Bulverde Animal Hospital for an ear problem. We got booked for an appointment right away. The office staff was very friendly and caring. We came to the appointment early and we’re put in a room immediately. The vet tech was very nice and friendly. The veterinarian was professional and personable and everyone took very good care of our dog. We were given options on treatment and the cost of treatment was reasonable. I plan to use Bulverde Animal Hospital as our primary vet clinic from now on.

BAH is amazing. They actually care. They talk to you. They listen. We board our babies there when we go on our yearly trip. This year one wasn't doing well after we had left. Kimberly took him home for one night, then he went to Dr. Kothmann's home where Theressa looked after him. Sadly, he passed, but he was not in a kennel when it happened. He… was looked after by the best. Theresa even arranged for his cremation which Heavenly Paws handled with our exact wishes and return to me. I can never thank BAH enough for their dedication to our babies for many years now. ❤

Dr Kothmann and his staff are fantastic. I have never had a vet call to check on my pets after caring for them. This shows what a wonderful caring vet Dr Kothmann is along with his entire staff. Recently my Boston had scratched his eye & Dr Kothmann realized it was serious enough to be sent to the vet optometrist. He was able to have him seen the… same day as an emergency pet. Minor surgery was required & Dr Kothmann called to see how he was doing. I had trouble putting in eye drops& medication. They had me come to the office & showed me how to do drops & meds. My little

I can't say enough great things. Dr. Kothmann is always very informative and doesn't do more tests than necessary. He always follows up with a call to make sure our animals are doing better. He gets right down to the animals level so they are not as afraid. I highly recommend Bulverde Animal Hospital.

The staff and doctor are wonderful. My little Yorkie got very sick overnight. It was Saturday and and I didn’t have an appointment but they took us right in. Dr. Kothmann is very knowledgeable and personable. Took lots of time with us, answered all my questions, prescribed medication. The doctor called to check on my dog a couple of days after we were there. I highly recommend Bulverde Animal Hospital (cost is very good compared to other vets). Toni L.

I recently left my vet to get one closer to me. I chose to try BAH due to a referral and a situation a few months ago with the boarding of my dog and they stayed late to help get him taken care of to go to the pet hotel. So I took Mr Beans In on Saturday for his annual checkup and shots. From the time I walked in to the time I left they took care in making sure my timid little man was comfortable.
But today they called me with his lab results that were great and emailed them to me as well. I began to look them over and saw something that said HIGH. Concerned I started looking online for information

Terrible experience. I took my acutely ill German shepherd for what they call a "drop off" visit. When I dropped her off I did not have the opportunity to meet the vet to express my concerns and fill her in on my dog's history, diet, usual activities environment etc. They called me to picked her up 4 hours later said "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong." When I asked to talk to the vet they said that wasn't how a drop off visit worked. I said I had never been to a veterinarian who wouldn't discuss a case with the client, but if that's how they

I've never had anything but great service from this vet. I take my dog and 3 cats there. They were open late and took great care of my oldest cat during an emergency. I always feel like they take their time with my pets and do a thorough evaluation every time. They always take the time to answer questions that I may have about process, procedures, or anything to do with my pets.

I have been taking my dogs here for many years and through several trying events. The first visit was for an emergency. Our "regular" vet would not fit our dog into his schedule. The injury could not wait and would require surgery to repair (we had been to an emergency vet the night before but they did not have the tools to do the job) I called Bulverde Animal Hospital because they are very close to my home and I read good reviews online.
They were super accommodating and friendly. Dr. Kothman was already in surgery but they made a point to go ask him if he could fit my pup in

Our poodle had kidney failure and had to be hospitalized here for a week. He was in good hands. Dr. Kothmann called us daily with reports and visited with me in person to answer my questions and explain tests each morning. He never rushed and took his time during our visits. Dr. Kothmann also patiently took time to go over options, costs, and details. His staff even trained us to administer IVs at home, which we did like pros. They also showed us how to prepare our dog's special food.

Watch out or you'll be over charged. Upon taking my dog to see Dr.Kothmann. I was amazed at his astronomical.fees. Really $57.54 for a heart worm test. After briefly checking my dog he came back with an estimated amount of $520.00 to run test on the dog, in order to find out what was wrong with her. When questioning him about the fees he told me his clients know how much he charges. I told him I think I'll get a second option and took my dog down the road to only pay $245.60 for the same test and it included the meds. Go figure!
