Hands down the best vet around! They have given great care to my dogs, including 1 emergency surgery. Their prices are great and you can tell everyone who works there truly cares for the animals. Can’t imagine ever going to another clinic.

Thank you so much Dr. Wade and Kerrville Veterinary Clinic for taking care of our baby girl Anna. We had to stop in for an emergency visit on our 6+ hour road trip back to Houston and they did an amazing job keeping our girl calm. Since they are still doing curbside visits we weren’t able to be with our baby during her examination but we know she… was in good hands! Dr. Wade thoroughly explained Anna’s examination, their course of action, and after care. She did an amazing job answering all of our questions and putting us at ease. We truly appreciate everything they did for us

The vets and staff are wonderful. Just got my doggy back from minor surgery and she doesn’t even know she has a wound. They take good care of the pups and their two leggeds. Even in a pandemic. It’s the best. And still privately owned instead of selling out to an uncaring corporation like so many clinics have.

My husband and I moved to Kerrville 2 yrs ago from Corpus. Our vet in Corpus recommended Kerrville Vet clinic. (he went to vet school with one of the founders). We had all of our pets, 3 cats and 2… dogs...records transferred over. We were blessed to become acquainted with Dr. Grafe. This young man is an absolute gem...professional, compassionate and most of all kind and caring. All, qualities one looks for when finding the right person to care for their furbabies. Unfortunately, we had to make the sad decision to have both of our sr. girls, Sally 15 1/2 and Lucy 14 1/2, put down within

I have been using this clinic for about 5 years with a number of dogs. Young, old, and many breeds from pitbulls to boxers to Collies. I drive all the way from san Antonio for their individualized, detailed service.
