Services
At Dodd Animal Hospital, we provide top-quality veterinary care, urgent pet care, pet boarding, and grooming in the San Antonio community. As pet owners ourselves, we believe that preventative care with wellness exams are the keys to your pet living a longer, healthier, and happier life.

As a full-service veterinary office, we offer state-of-the-art testing and diagnostics, routine and advanced surgical procedures, and many other specialties and services to provide your pet with the best possible care.
Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care. At Dodd Animal Hospital, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment.
Early detection using diagnostic testing provides a complete picture of your pet's health, improving outcomes, and providing baseline results. Our staff is committed to helping you get a full picture of your pet's health through laboratory and diagnostic testing. Annual blood testing helps us determine a normal baseline for your pet.
Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from routine to advanced procedures and treatments. Although we handle the majority of your pet's medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.
From routine to advanced surgical procedures, our practice offers safe and effective options using state-of-the-art equipment and best practices. At Dodd Animal Hospital, we understand that you are probably nervous about submitting your pet to any type of surgical procedure. Our compassionate and caring professionals monitor your pet before, during, and after surgery and take exceptional care to ensure your pet's safety and complete recovery.

Had an animal emergency with a stray dog. It was late in the day, a fire situation and could not get help from anyone, even the 24 hour emergency pet hospital. Dodd willingly went above and beyond to provide top rate assistance. They certainly gained my respect and earned my business with my other pets. The entire staff was professional, friendly and willing to help. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone. Your pet is in good hands with these folks.

This was a new vet visits that has turned me into a regular. As someone who rescues neighborhood dogs on a part time budget it’s important to have a good and competent vet close by. Every staff member and Dr. has been incredible and kind. I’m so thankful and I know my fur children are too for their quality care and ability to put you at ease!

I adopted a geriatric dog two years ago. Dodd animal hospital gave her great care such as de worming. I took her in a few months ago and the vet was very honest with me that her time had come. She received very gentle end of life care and did not suffer at all, which brings us solace. Dr Kretschmar and Dr Dyes are great vets. They also have private cremation service. my other pets also receive care here. Very pleased to have this vet nearby.

In my opinion, this vet hospital is more of "extended family members" due to the type of quality care they give to my "animal family" beloved ones. I'm very grateful for they're attention to the top quality of care they give.
Thank you.

Dr. Tim is the BEST! Donna is very caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. The wait time is not good, not sure if clients are double booked but we usually wait almost an hour to be seen....this is the only drawback.

everyone is great at Dodd Clinic. the groomer Becky is the best ever. she does a fantastic job with our Diego, who doesn't like to be groomed at all, but she has no problems with him and gets the job done...he looks great everytime he goes there to be groomed. Becky is very friendly and helpful to everyone....

I was going to be out of town for a few days and needed to board my dog. After looking into a few places I chose this place because it’s also a veterinarian practice and because it was less expensive then the other I looked into. I kinda with I would have went to one with the 24 hour live feed. I have a large dog and I sent her with the 3-4 cups a day plus treats like I would normally give her and I was given back about half the food back and ALL the treats. Not to mention how chaotic it was during intake and pick up.
I would also like to mention I have a friend who’s been coming here to drop

Kudos to Dodd Animal Hospital. They saw my hurting dog, Chai, when no one else would make time for him. Melanie treated him with love and compassion just as I do. Dr. Dyes was gentle and understanding, able to… diagnose and treat him immediately without traumatizing him.
The cost was affordable and they even gave me a senior citizen discount. This will be Chai’s new veterinarian!!!

Donna and Dr. Kreetzschmar took great care of my Daisy today. I went as a walk in and waited 1 hr. The doctor and vet tech were great and made Daisy feel comfortable during the whole procedure. Thank you so much!

Everyone and I mean everyone is always nice. All procedures for my dogs are always thoroughly explained. I also use Dodd for kenneling my babies when I go out of town. It is super great that they kennel pits at a great price - pits are hard to kennel! Thanks for everything!
