For the safety of our clients and staff, please have all of your paperwork filled out prior to your appointment time. These forms are available at our website, on this page: https://www.animalfriendstexas.org/clinic/forms-instructions/#.XqRYf_aSncs
- For surgery patients, please remain outside for surgery check-in and discharge. We appreciate everyone abiding by appropriate social distancing standards while awaiting check in. All final payments will be done via phone to speed up the discharge process, and minimize contact between individuals.
- For afternoon wellness appointments, please arrive on time. Once arrived, call the office phone number – 979-277-0400. A technician will come out to speak with you about your pet’s needs. As you wait in your car, each pet will then be brought in for their treatments and returned to you as soon as this is finished. All final payments will be done as you wait.
Thank you for your patience and understanding with this new process as we help provide care for your pets while doing our part to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

The new Dog Park for LARGE Dogs opened on April 1, 2017 – No Joke ! This part of the park is for dogs that are over 20 lbs. There is a brand new dog pond and many tables and benches in the shade under the trees for humans to enjoy while watching their dogs run, play and swim.
We are excited to announce we have a new feature to help serve our clients!
We now have a professional Call Service handling all incoming calls when the Clinic is not open.
This service will be able to answer basic questions, such as when we will be open next, as well as pricing of services. They will not be able to make appointments, as these must continue to be made during business hours when we are open. This service will also handle all emergency calls associated with surgeries to immediately get in touch with our emergency personnel.
Our costs have increased yearly yet we have not increased our pricing in over 4 years. Effective April 1, 2016 our pricing will increase somewhat to help cover the rise in our costs. Click here to read more.
