These folks have cared for our animals for many years. Dr. Elbel has ALWAYS pinpointed our animals problem almost immediately- no kidding- EVERY TIME! The staff, though there are many pets/clients, always treat me and other Ive witnessed as if Im the most important. I love this clinic and thank them for their tireless work.

I don't think it could have been any better. Dr. Woods returned my call personally and was able to fit me in the schedule right before lunch to see 8 puppies all at once. She was very thorough and explained everything. At the end of the visit the bill was brought in and discussed with me and I was asked if I wanted the additional labs and meds that she was recommending before being charged for them. Do to financial reasons I had to decline the labs and was not made to feel pressured about getting them. Dr. Woods and the staff were very kind and I will continue to bring my fur babies to her when

We have used Bulverde Animal Hospital since we arrived home with our little puppy 2 years ago. We usually see the wonderful Dr. Woods but everyone there has been caring and kind. We do not hesitate to recommend Bulverde Animal Hospital.

The team at Bulverde Animal Hospital is wonderful. I love Dr. Wood! She is always ready to listen when I am concerned for my animals. She doesn't push me into any treatments I'm not absolutely comfortable with. Her bedside manner with animals AND pet lovers is as kind and sweet and straightforward as you can get. On top of that, the prices are affordable, so you get top tier care without going broke AND they help you understand all the costs BEFORE the treatment so you can make choices and not end up with painful sticker shock at check out.
