Lady spending the night in her own hospital room
LaWanda F.

If you're in need of an ER where the staff is extremely friendly, attentive, courteous, sympathetic and supportive...and that's just with you! They're the same if not more when it comes to your fur baby, or any family pet, you bring in. The way they gave their all and loved on my Lady(14 y.o. miniature schnauzer) really eased my worries and let me know that regardless of the outcome the doctors and nurses genuinely care! I brought my fur baby in who literally was lifeless. I couldn't get her to eat, drink, walk or even stand. I thought I was for sure losing her but after spending the night with these amazing people who work here they brought her energy level back up and she was walking the next day. Not to mention they allowed me to spend the night with her in our own room. I'm so grateful and thankful to the day and overnight staff here, real life superheroes!

Took my baby at at 2 in the morning, they were already busy but they were quick to check my cat and register him. My cat had to stay 12 hours but we were allowed to stay with him all the way. The staff was very kind and attentive towards my pet and his owners. The vets were knowledgeable and explained everything with detail. All emergency hospitals are pricy but all things considered, I didn't think it was too bad and they are willing to work with you if you cannot afford the full price. All in all, I would definitely take my pets here if I need to, but I hope I won't have to in a long long time. Thank you VEG for taking care of my Nula!

When my dog experienced what appeared to be a seizure and briefly stopped breathing on June 7, I…read morerushed him to MissionVet. From the moment we arrived, the staff acted quickly and immediately took him to the back while helping me complete the necessary paperwork. I was extremely distraught, and I truly appreciated how one of the staff members took the time to sit with me and help calm me down. Everyone I interacted with was kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring during such a scary situation. Our visit did take several hours since they wanted to monitor him closely throughout the day, but I appreciated that the team checked in with me about every hour to provide updates on how he was doing. Those updates meant a lot and helped ease my anxiety. Dr. Gonzalez was knowledgeable, compassionate, and took the time to explain everything. Thankfully, they didn't find anything concerning during his evaluation and recommended that we follow up with our regular veterinarian for continued care. I hope I never have another emergency, but I'm incredibly grateful to the entire team for treating my dog with such excellent care and for showing me so much kindness during one of the most stressful days I've experienced as a pet owner. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby.

I had to bring my dog on Memorial Day weekend after I noticed that he was lethargic, had nausea,…read moreand was refusing for which was very out of character. We rushed over on a Saturday and I truly appreciate how quickly the tech's triaged him and did not dismiss his case even though he was presenting normal except for a fever and abdominal pain. I was worried that he was going to be dismissed since it had only been a few hours since he started to act strange but I know my dog so well and I know something was very wrong. The doctor let me know that they suspected pancreatitis but there was no ultrasonographer to confirm until Tuesday. He was started on meds to control pain, nausea, and try to get an appetite but he kept getting worse and they decided to have him stay overnight. Sunday they called that they were going to start on NG tube, antibiotics since he had fluid in his abdomen, and continue to monitor. They still said they needed the ultrasound for pancreatitis and I asked why not the blood test but they said they needed ultrasound which I still don't understand why it couldn't be the blood work. Monday they called and let me know he was in sepsis and the fluid had bacteria and he needed surgery but because of the holiday there was no surgeon available and I needed to transfer to blue pearl since they had someone on call. I rushed over and took him over there and I was so grateful that they had me switch because the care we received at blue pearl was phenomenal compared to here. I appreciate that the doctor started him on antibiotics early and was treating him the same way a confirmed case of pancreatitis would be treated because I feel that helped save his life. My main frustration is that they had no doctors in to help him because of the holiday from Saturday all the way to Tuesday. It was very frustrating to take a dog for emergency care to an emergency hospital and pay a ton of money to not have the doctors he needs available especially when quick care can make the difference of him living or not. I will be taking all my pets to blue pearl instead of here because of how amazing they were and that they had staff that could provide timely care.

On July 2, at approximately 6 p.m., I called the practice to change the cremation arrangement from communal to private. Staff confirmed that the change had been made. I was quoted approximately two weeks for the return of her ashes. After that period passed without an update, I left several voicemails and spoke with front-desk staff, but I did not receive information about the status of her ashes. The practice directed me to contact its third-party cremation provider. When I contacted that provider, I was told it could not locate a record for my dog. On October 2, while visiting the practice for another appointment, I again requested an update. Staff could not locate the ashes and suggested that weather might be affecting the delay. By that point, three months had passed since my request for private cremation. I requested a refund. The practice offered to refund $100 for the private-cremation charge. I also requested a refund of the remaining amount I paid for cremation because I had not received the ashes or a clear explanation of what happened. On October 6, a manager called from a blocked number and left a voicemail asking me to return the call. Because the number was blocked, I could not call the manager back directly. The only callback number provided was the office number, and the office was closed at the time. I called that number and left a message. As of October 7, I had not received a response. To resolve this complaint, I am requesting a refund of the full amount paid for cremation services and a written explanation of what happened to my dog's remains, including whether a private cremation occurred and whether her ashes can still be returned. This has been heartbreaking. Beyond the delay, the repeated difficulty obtaining basic information has made an already painful loss more distressing.

She was admitted to their critical care service under the care of Dr. Strey. Unfortunately she made a terminal diagnosis with no treatment options so we made the painful decision to have her euthanized.

We were completely blindsided by the diagnosis; the staff's ability to communicate with us professionally and compassionately was greatly appreciated.

I brought her in because I discovered a new mass on her back that had not been there previously. Since it was weekend, I couldnt take her to her regular vet, and being an anxious individual. I decided to take her to this clinic since it was open and able to take her. When she was brought back and examined, I was presented with three options: the first option presented was an aspiration biopsy. It was mentioned that the specimen could not be good enough or be contaminated and require more samples to be taken afterwards. The second option was an incision biopsy, but it was presented as painful and with the likelihood there would need to be another visit to fully remove. The last option was a full removal that day under anesthesia. With this information I thought a full removal was best. I left her there to get the procedure. It was hours before I even got the call that they were starting and not until late that night that they were done. I was told that I would probably hear back from the lab the following Thursday in regards to the results. The vet did not provide any further information about the mass or what he discovered during the operation. I was called on 5/26/26 with the lab results. It was a follicular harmatoma that is benign. In the moment I blanked because I was so relieved it was benign. The front desk people were kind and patient throughout all of my calls, and I thought that I was going to be able to move on from this point confidently. However, I have since discovered that that was not going to be the case for me and my dog. Yesterday, 06/12/26, the incision site was appearing yellow, with spots of scabbing, and stretch, stretching on the incision site (keep in mind. She had been prevented from biting or scratching as per instructed up until this point and had had her sutures removed two weeks prior). At the same time she began to show less interest in her food. With all this occurring, I took her to her primary vet. While she was there, I was called and told her gums were pale (a sign of oxygen deprivation) so they decided to draw blood (I consensted to whatever testing was needed) and it showed she was anemic. The vet questioned if she had always been anemic because, in his words, it would not be wise to perform the surgery in that condition. I Iwasn't sure about her results prior to the surgery so I called Town and Country to ask about her blood work. At this time it had not been shared to me, nor explained to me in any form. Only mentioned as "unremarkable" in her SOAP notes. After her chart was emailed to me, it showed anemia was present and detected prior to her surgery, and I was not informed about it. I was not sent her blood work beforehand, and it was not in the SOAP chart that had been given to me. I was also told by my normal vet, in kinder words, that the procedure was done quite poorly and it had led to an infection in her incision site. He was quite shocked to hear that she had had the stitches removed two weeks ago, because it looked like the site was stretched, and sewn up in a very poor manner. Overall, I am not only disappointed in my experience, but furious at the lack of information given to me and poor judgment made on the part of the surgeon when it came to tresting my pet. I feel as though I was not properly informed and the correct actions were not taken in the situation, costing me more money and potential harm to my dog at the hands of a veterinarian that very well could've been taking advantage of the fact that I was young, a new pet mom, and very clearly anxious to help my animal in any means.

I am glad I was able to pay the outrageous amount for the absolute minimal things you did for him. I honestly do not know how you can sleep at night knowing how bad you hurt someone's life and continue to do it to other loving pet owners. I will find it in my heart to forgive you someday but as for the here and now the pain is to deep to allow me just yet. I will continue to tell my story to anyone and everyone who knows me and loved thor and warn them about you and what happened the last 16 hours of Thor's life. I want to let you know my personal opinion of this place. I feel like they took advantage of my feelings and charged me over $3000 and gave me false promises and let my soul mate die and never gave me an exact reasoning of what exactly the problem was but only what it might could be and a lot of those might could be's. This has been the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my adult life and believe me when I tell you I have been through some rough times. Thor was my EVERYTHING and for them to hook him up for fluids and antibiotics and FINALLY a feeding tube for $3000 only to get a call at midnight saying now they think it's something else and they would need another $1500 to try something else but did not know if that would fix anything. I never in my wildest dreams thought after taking my beloved Thor there at 6pm on Friday that I would be saying good by to him at 2am on Sunday morning. Yes, you will see so many 5 star reviews when you look at the reviews but I can promise you that this is not the case. While I was waiting for the doctor to see me when I first got there I witnessed 2 people come in to pick.up.the ashes of their pets and then other customers cashing out with $7000 bills and higher. Before they even did test on my baby I was presented with a bill of $2064 and of course I paid it because I was an emotional wreck. And then when I got a call at 11 am the next morning I was told Thor was doing better but when I got there I was told something different and was asked to pay another $850 and then 7 hours later I am picking out an urn for his ashes. And do you think I was refunded any of that money back? That would be a HELL NO. So, if you are reading this you can take it as a customer mad just because his pet has died or you can take it as a customer who feels like his emotions were taking advantage of and Thor is dead and I still do not know for what. A piece of my heart was shattered there on July 17th at 2:47 am and I can never forgive them for that. I definitely do not think they did anything to Thor to cause his death but do not think they did the proper things to prevent it due to not knowing what the actual problem was and should have definitely not given me false hope and different information from different doctors. PLEASE DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PET OWNERS GRIEF. I never even got a print out of the services you did for Thor, instead each conversation we had was a request for more money. I will continue to post reviews with what happened with my dealing with Hill Country Animal Emergency Hospital for quite some time in memory of Thor with hopes that it will save someone who reads it the life of their pet and that they will go somewhere else if their pet is in need of service. Thor should still be with me today and for him to no longer be with me is something that I cannot and will not forgive this place for and they forever took a piece of my heart on that day.
