Please let our staff know if you would like us to wear a mask while you are in the exam room. Stay in their car and we will come get your pet for Dr. Harrell or Dr. Bywaters to examine and treat and then return the pet to your car at the end of treatment. We are encouraging clients to limit the number of people that accompany a pet or pets to the appointment.
Please keep multiple family members at home, unless absolutely necessary. We have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of all high touch surfaces throughout our facility. Welcome to Bay Breeze Animal Clinic where our mission is to become "Your family's second doctor." All of the team members at Bay Breeze Animal Clinic are committed to professional, compassionate and convenient personalized service.

Services
Bay Breeze Animal Clinic is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, Bay Breeze Animal Clinic stresses the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
Dr. Harrell is the owner and main staff veterinarian at Bay Breeze Animal Clinic. She graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998 and has worked in the Coastal Bend region since graduation. Her main expertise is the treatment of cats and dogs.
In addition to being a veterinarian and clinic owner, Dr. Harrell was also an adjunct professor at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi Campus where she taught Animal Science 301 in 2010 and 2011.She strongly believes in supporting the local Rockport Humane Society by providing discounted services to some of their pets before they are adopted out to the public.

Jimmy has been an amazing part of the BBAC team since 2010. He is always there to help anyone at any time no questions asked. He has become known around the clinic as the "Cat Whisperer". Any fractious feline that comes in he is there to calm and secure the safety of staff and patient. When he is not working or doing weekend kennels he enjoys numerous activities like fishing or skateboarding with his nephew Gavin.
Firstly, our pets can't speak, they cannot tell us if they feel off color or unwell or have any other indicators of internal illness. We need to examine them every 6 months as well as run some routine screening tests to detect underlying disease BEFORE it is clinically apparent. Use the age chart below to find your pets age in "people" years and the screening testing recommended for each stage of his or her life.

Be careful with this place. I took my dog there for blood work and was told she had a high phosphorus level. After getting her test results I realized she was never tested for phosphorus. I was also overcharged for medicine injections which they did refund. They were supposed to do an abdominal scan. I was told they had a chance "to do a little bit during lunch". My dog was sick and they could only refer her to another place. I never realized until the other place received her records that Bay Breeze diagnosed her with Stage 4 renal failure and never told me. Be careful.

And extremely insulting staff said there is other vets that are probably more in your price range well I guess they must be astronomical seeing how I drive a brand new truck live in a brand new trailer have an excellent career. Will not be taking any of my animals to these people simply because they are extremely insulting uncoordinated and now that I have called around to other vets I have found that they are extremely overpriced more than four times the price it should be and whenever you get a hold of the person at the reception desk any and everything they tell you is completely untrue because

We got pinky back a few days ago it was hard. What made it better was seeing how Bay Breeze animal clinic did for her they were amazing. The care they put in and how much they care for us and are little girl… made this day easier to bare. I will never take any of my pets to anyone else. Thank yall so much for taking your time with us and her through this hard day she was such a great dog and was a princess and was treated like one even after death. She will go where we go now and we can't thank you enough.

In a time of hardship both financially and emotionally Dr. Hareld and her amazing team of professionals came to our aid and did what they could for our Baby Girl Pinky 💜. They were honest and walked us through everything going on with her, then help us through the decision to put her down. As always they were very gentle and loving when caring for her.

The staff at Bay Breeze are a wonderful people. THEY truly saved my dog Sadie's life. She got into rat poison some where & she was hemorrhaging,we called a emergency vet & they would not see Sadie unless we had about 1000$. We are just average people,we pay our bills before anything else. We were prepared to pay whatever it cost to save our baby girl.At Bay Breeze, they treated Sadie is if she were their baby girl.We told the vet. We can make payments,but we can't pay the bill off all at one time. She was wonderful & said we will talk about the bill in a couple days.Her concern was to get Sadie

Dr. Harrell treats my dogs like they are part of my family and when they hurt, she almost understands what they try to tell her. When my lab had to be put down because of cancer, she understood my pain and his pain too.
One of my dogs has had to stay over the weekend for care, and she came home like a new puppy from the care and attention she was given. Sure, she was glad to go home, but she loves everyone there. The entire staff is compassionate and my dogs can feel that when visiting.
I'm so very glad I was referred to Bay Breeze and my dogs, now matter how big they get, know they have a loving

We took our cat there after a terrible experience elsewhere, with a wrong diagnosis. The staff at Bay Breeze LISTENED to us and CARED for our cat like it was their own. The entire staff has gone (and continues to go) above and beyond!! to make us feel like they are doing all they can to help our family member. Dr. Harrell is SHARP, ARTICULATE and up-to-date on current treatment methods. I highly recommend Bay Breeze to anyone who cares for their pets like they're family.
