Aransas Animal Clinic - Dr. McInnis and Daisy

Aransas Animal Clinic

(10 reviews)

Revised on 2/24/26 for the first time in a while with our two fur babies. As alway "April" was…read morethere to great U.S. and clear the front desk tasks. Dr. Mcinnis is our physician and as usual provided excellent care. Her assistant, shame on my for forgetting his name was there the entire time assisting the Dr.while providing comforting care while keeping the critters as calm as possible. Here to tell you that care for animals is not cheep, but medications for animals just seems to keep going higher. Perhaps we should partition the President that while he's working to lower perceptions costs for those of us with two legs, maybe he can cut the same deal on those with four legs that we love so very much.

If I could give less than a one star I absolutely would. My name is Sadie Gibson. I never leave…read morereviews but this situation was absolutely unprofessional. I just left the clinic. I have an almost 6 year old dachshund presented with back pain. I did arrive 6 minutes late. I called to inform them that I was late due to passing the facility. I apologized profusely. When I arrived I did inform the front desk that he is not a good patient and we would need a muzzle. When we walked into the room the technician immediately goes to grab Willy without saying a word and I informed them again that he would need a muzzle. (The muzzles were sitting on the desk so the front desk must have relayed the information I had previously given.) The doctor the said "well you should have told us that when we made the appointment". I was jaw dropped at the bedside rudeness. My dog is in pain and I came to a vet immediately to rectify his ailment. I was told that "that's just who I am" by the doctor and if I didn't like their bedside that there was plenty of other vets out there. This was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. Maybe not everyone's experience is the same as mine. I went there for the good reviews and being that I am local and wanted to get my pup in as soon as possible. I hope no one has to go through that sort of treatment and they are able to train and improve from my terrible experience. Update. The front desk informed me that it was Dr Jennifer McGinnis. I will 100% be reporting her to the state board.

After reading the reviews on this clinic I feel compelled to post my own. I have 5 dogs and 4…read morecats. I trust the staff at this clinic with all of my pets needs. Expensive? Yes, but a fair and competitive price for the exceptional care I receive for all of my fur babies. Dr. B..... I love him. He is brutally honest and has a very strong personality but that is what I love about him. I am the same and I enjoy my visits with him and his staff. I have never received anything but quality care with my pets. He's always on point with his diagnosis and we always have a pleasant visit. My dogs have always been stressed during vet visits in the past. Not at this clinic. Do I call sometimes and get placed on hold? Absolutely, but I also understand I am not the only patient / client they have. I tried other veterinary clinics since moving here 4 years ago. My search is over. I'm sticking with Dr. B and his staff.

This clinic advertises that they accept emergency walk-ins, even for new patients--but that was not…read moremy experience. I called ahead to let them know I would be arriving after 1 p.m. because my cat needed to be placed on IV. I had already provided paperwork the previous day. When I arrived, the receptionist did not greet me and was extremely rude. She cursed at me, called me a liar and a fraud, and said they do not provide emergency services for new patients. I asked to speak with the doctor on call. The veterinarian came out, and unfortunately, I was treated in the same dismissive and unprofessional manner. They claimed they were too busy and had patients waiting, although the lobby was empty at the time. Instead of examining my cat right away, they took me to the back and spoke to me for about 10 minutes without properly checking on my pet. After briefly glancing at my cat, they said, "It looks like we can't help you or your cat." I have this interaction recorded. It is very concerning for a clinic to advertise emergency services for new patients if they are unwilling to provide them. They also require a deposit before giving you paperwork to complete. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this clinic.

We take our pups there to get treats, have their nails trimmed. The girls are so good to them…read more Heard it great for boarding also.

My dog is my child and is prone to separation anxiety. I'm very careful about providers and screen…read moreeveryone / everything in advance. I wanted to go to Rockport for a fishing weekend (two day trips on the boat, house at night) so I asked around for recommendations for dogsitters. Nothing, so I looked at day care facilities. The reviews for Salty Dog on Google are outstanding - it seems that more Yelpers had negative things to say (perhaps because real names aren't required on Yelp?) so I'm intentionally posting here to provide balance. - TLDR: This place was outstanding! I approve of all their protocols and my anxious dog had a great time to my very pleasant surprise. The prices were so reasonable especially considering the level of care was A+. The owner is a vet tech so there is someone knowledgeable available if something should happen, and there is a vet clinic within walking distance. It probably doesn't get better than this. - Vaccine requirements: Some people seem to take umbrage with this. This isn't personal - the state of Texas requires all dogs be vaccinated for rabies. The other requested vaccines are very common in the professional boarding and daycare industry for health and safety reasons. Some insurance policies covering the business may also include that requirement. If I were to ever come across a facility that did not have these requirements, I'd run. Immediately. - Level of preparation. Salty Dog asks owners to fill out a lengthy application detailing their pet's needs and preferences. I appreciate this investment in my dog's well-being so much. The more someone knows about my dog's preferences and personality, the better his care is going to be. If you can't be bothered to fill it out, what else can you not be bothered to do - train your dog? Keep it healthy? Maybe I don't want mine boarded next to yours if you don't want to put in the effort. - Safety / security: The facility itself is well-structured (architecture background here) and well-maintained. They also have secure access to the animals so only employees can go into the back of the building using a code. Yes, you want to see where your dog is going to be kept but this is not fair to disrupt the dogs already there by having random people wandering in and out. It's also not fair to expect the staff to police visitors and say "please don't reach in to pet someone else's dog". Do you want strangers accessing YOUR dog? Of course you don't. Just ask to see the multiple security camera views on the large screen TV monitor in the lobby area. They'll happily show you where your pup is (going to be). I checked it both times before announcing that I was there to pick up my dog and he looked perfectly content to me. - Exercise: I know my dog got to play as promised for two reasons. First, he's high energy but both nights after dinner, he conked out as he does when he's had a full day. Second, he has a quirk around swimming pools that I intentionally left out of the application questionnaire but the staff described it perfectly when I picked him up. - Comfort level: I did worry about the potential effect on his anxiety. He will come barreling out of the back of the vet's office after 10 minutes with his tail between his legs and then cling to me. I left him at Salty Dog for a full eight hours both days and he came out of the back both times with his tail wagging, proceeded to greet every single person in the lobby and kept going back up to the staffer who brought him out. After we took him back to the house, he was completely relaxed and willing to lie on his bed instead of seeking my lap which he does when he's stressed. HUGE kudos to Salty Dog for achieving this! - Credit card surcharge: People, this is called "transparency" and "pricing options". For those of you who aren't business owners or operators, every credit card company charges a fee for transactions. The vast majority of merchants just add it to the price and give a single quote. Salty Dog is actually doing you a favor by letting you know there's a way to save a few dollars. I'm impressed they maintain this policy in the face of uneducated complaints. - Staff 'attitude'. The staffers I engaged with were perfectly pleasant and supportive. Sure, some were more talkative than others but is it any wonder that people who prefer animals might gravitate to this type of job? The important thing is they WANT to take care of your dog. Just because someone isn't a contender for a Congeniality title is no reason to leave a snide review. I fully recommend Salty Dog for daycare and would have no hesitation trying them for overnight care or grooming. Enjoy your stay!
