Services
Garza Veterinary Clinic is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental services. 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.
Our facility accepts all walk-ins, no appointment necessary. Walk-in services that do not require an appointment will be first puppy or first kitten vaccines, or follow up vaccines. Our fast track hours are from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm and from 2:30 pm through 5:30 pm. All annual vaccines and check ups qualify for our fast track service.
Dental health is a very important part of your pet's overall health, and dental problems can cause, or be caused by, other health problems. Your pet's teeth and gums should be checked at least once a year by your veterinarian to check for early signs of a problem and to keep your pet's mouth healthy.
Garza Veterinary Clinic recommends regular wellness exams for the same reason your physician and dentist recommend them - if you can detect a problem in its early stages, it's more likely to be treated and resolved with less expense, less difficulty and better success. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Vaccines help prevent many illnesses that affect pets. Vaccinating your pet has long been considered one of the easiest ways to help him live a long, healthy life. Not only are there different vaccines for different diseases, there are different types and combinations of vaccines. Vaccination is a procedure that has risks and benefits that must be weighed for every pet relative to his lifestyle and health.

Took my boy Nipsey here for a leg xray, full torn acl 😪
The doctor was very nice, caring and informative.
My first time here on referral from Petcare Express and the wait was long, 4 hours in and out. I arrived at 8 when they open and so many people were already there...you could try arriving around 10-11 or later for less of a wait but I'm not complaining, I'm patient. The prices are very reasonable and the staff very nice. I would recommend.

I felt that the situation with my pet and there services could have been handled way better. No calls no heads up no emails nothing stating that the shots for your pet is up. So when u go in for there heartworm pill. You not getting it. So people yalk that go there gotta be on top of everything. Garza is not gonna inform you keep that in mind.

Their 6 mos supply of Trifexis is $174 when it is currently priced at $127 at other vets and major retail stores for 40.1-60 lbs (blue box). Beware of med pricing. Long wait time around 10+ AM walk in. They lack empathy when it comes to caring for your pets. Any vet can buy/own a hematology analyzer to quickly share the blood work analysis at ~$180 a pop but a good vet clinic is able to diagnose and prescribe based off his or her experience before going straight to asking for a blood work.

This is ridiculous we've been bringing our rescue here and for a annual check up they have the habit of pushing other patients first and turning our 30m to 1hr visits last 2-3 hrs and it's frustrating seeing everyone get checked up on when you've been waiting there for so long ! Seriously these people don't care if they make you wait hours to get your furry checked up on

I just started bringing my puppy here, the staff is always nice. But today Their hours online say they open at 8 am and we’ve been waiting for about 45 minutes now and there isn’t anyone in the parking lots or doesn’t look like they are going to open anytime soon.
If they’re closed or are planning to open late they should leave signs so people know. Pets needs to be seen. I’m just so disappointed because I don’t always get the time to bring my pups and the day I do this happens.

I took my 4 year old bulldog here a few months ago and waited hours to get seen , and last week my fur baby had passed and when Blue pearl asked where to send my dogs ashes to I said Garza due to my dog getting seen there last however when ashes were getting dropped off there they denied the ashes due to its "been a long time since we went" ! very disappointed and disrespectful of them!

Drove 30 minutes to get to this veterinary clinic to only be told they were too busy. When I called to try to make appointment the answering machine said they take the last walk-in at 4:30 and they close at 6:00. We got there around 4:00 to only be turned away. We were told to come back in the morning. Their answering machine says they see sick animals in the morning and vaccines in the afternoon starting at 2:30. All lies! Why then have that information if they aren't going to follow through?? All I needed was to get my dog vaccinated. Last time I try to come to this place. It's sad

Came to get our pups vaccinated. Spoke with a representative over the phone and they said they give vaccines between 2-5pm. So when we get there, the lady at the front says they're doing the vaccines at 3. Other people showed up around the same time for the vaccines so I know the mess up was on their end. So we wait til 3 only to find out that the vets that give the vaccines are at lunch. It was literally a big waste of time. We just left because we don't have all day to be waiting. There's a big line of people and it doesn't seem like anyone is being tended to. Don't waste

My dog was neutered last Thursday and today he has not urinated all day. No one gave me a warning if this is normal or what to do! They also do not have an emergency contact number or answering service! All they gave me was pain medicine and that isn't helping!
The doctor is great but his staff is lazy and forgetful. I'm sure there was more information I should have received .
This is unacceptable. Poor customer service and patient support.

After almost 4 years I wish I could give this place zero stars, my pitbull was put to sleep here because of his seizures. Which I didn't know at the time , it was an easy fix and all he needed was medication. I regret coming here , I loved that dog. Dr. Garza told me it was the only option. Not to mention my son has autism and was there and till this day , he remembers and cries about the vet telling us Blue was going to have to die . Not only that but almost 4 years later I spoke to a vet who told me they put him to sleep in the most painful way possible.
Let me tell y'all about that

I was recommended this vet by friend and decided to try it out since Heights Veterinary always mixed up our family dogs records. This is the second time I bring my dog to Garza Veterinary and I will not be bringing her back. It is a first come first serve vet with no appointments supposedly. You would think if that the earlier you arrived the faster you'd be seen. Twice I've arrived by 8 am opening time and have waited for more than 2 hours. It's pretty frustrating seeing people who came after me be seen (6 people today). The first time was a simple Bordatella shot and I waited more

If I could give this place a 0 star I would. I am a very big dog lover and I feel like if you work for a veterinarian then you should love dogs as much as the owners but this place is ridiculous. My mother's dog had emergency and had to get X-rays and they said they did them from 8am-11am and my mom shows up at 930am and drove almost an hr and when she got there the staff was completely rude to her and told her that "Sorry we can't take you anymore the doctor has more important things to do" My mom insisted because her baby was very sick & she said I drove a real long drive

Dr. Garza has been caring for my Tiffany (yorkie) for over 10 yrs. Dr. Garza is very caring and attentive, he actually LISTENS to my concerns ...that's more than I can say about my cardiologist!! We have recently moved to the Corpus Christi area and I still drive the 3 1/2 hours to bring Tiffany to Dr. Garza if she's ill.
If you are looking for a great vet that WILL NOT rush you through like cattle and will go the extra mile to care for your "baby" then Dr. Garza should be your vet!!!
His staff is AWSOME very professional...I've been in the waiting room with dogs barking

Did not use this vet for medial needs but aesthetic only. Dr Garza did an amazing job with my dogo Argentino. He did her ears for me and they are beautiful. The techs were always nice and dr Garza is highly sought after. I do believe there is a bit of improvement needed with the doctor staff and it's unfortunate because he's an incredible doctor. We chose a different vet as her primary care doctor but he is an artist with ear cropping. He did her ears as a small puppy and very humanly. It was a full surgery. Highly recommend. Best in Houston. (Show crop). Not an ugly skull crop

BEWARE SPAY AND NEUTER PATIENTS
We had an appointment to spay my dog, but instead she spent all day in a kennel and was not attended. Apparently this vet tries to book as many dogs as possible without really knowing when they'll be going under the knife. They called me at 4pm saying my dog hadn't gone under surgery yet but would have to stay overnight so she could be done first thing in the morning. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional considering she was there to check in before opening time at 8am. I also called around 1pm to check on her status and they lied to me and

I came to Garza Vet Clinic about 4 years ago when I only had one pet and I absolutely loved the service and treatment my fur baby, Rocky, and I were given.
After getting my second fur baby, Dotsy, I decided to move clinics and enroll in a discount plan they offered to save money for both pets.
I should've done my research because it wasn't the smartest choice to switch to a chain pet clinic.The new vet considered Rocky to be aggressive towards him while in the room with me so he automatically marked his chart as a drop off and of course that automatically applied to Dotsy as well.

Recently my fathers friend suggested this pet clinic to us, and I'm so happy they did! Sometimes with going to the vet it can be super expensive ! Before garza vet clinic I was going to the vet clinic they had in petco, but it was always super expensive visits! Most vets just suggest things you don't need to just make money, but Garza vet clinic is not only affordable but they do not pressure you to do things that aren't necessary. Also, overall the visits are pretty fast once you are inside the room. The staff & Dr.'s are super nice! The first time I ever took my puppy

It's a busy place so for sure go as soon as they open! I took my Giant Schnauzer there for all her vaccines and ear cropping. She turned out amazing and the prices are affordable. I would definitely recommend. I saw that not many pictures of his ear cropping work is on here so I'd think this would help if there is someone out there on the same boat as we once were.
