I used them years ago, not this location, but the one in Sugar Land. My experience with them was very favorable as far as the vets and staff go. The facilities are great, they have specialists on staff, and the one I went to was open 24 hours, which came in VERY handy one night 18 years ago when I had a hypoglycemic pup on my hands. My only issue with them is that they seemed to be too high priced, and I guess that's due to the fact that they are not stand-alone vet practices, they are a nation-wide network with a corporate structure overhead that has to be paid for. But I did not have any complaints with any of the vets or any care received.

If you can't find a good referral for another practice, you can always start at VCA. They've got a coupon at the link above that will get you the first exam free. You can use that to evaluate and interview them. If you haven't seen a vet yet, even though it isn't time for shots yet, go get your pup checked out. That should have been done in the first day or two after they came home with you, if you haven't done it already.

If you don't get other referrals, this will buy you some time. And you may even decide that you want to stick with them. I did, for several years until I moved farther out.

thank you. I started researching them today.
