Our comprehensive nose-to-tail examinations detect early health issues in pets. Annual wellness exams include physical assessments, age-specific testing, and preventative care planning. Our veterinarians create customized wellness schedules to maintain optimal pet health through all life stages.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries using modern equipment and anesthesia protocols. Services include spay/neuter operations, mass removals, dental procedures, and soft tissue surgeries. Our team monitors patients throughout the surgical process and provides post-operative care instructions.

Critical care services handle traumatic injuries, sudden illnesses, and life-threatening conditions during regular business hours. We stabilize patients and provide diagnostics like blood tests and X-rays. After-hours emergencies receive referrals to 24/7 Houston-area emergency clinics with immediate transfer coordination.
Pet Dental Care
Our dental program includes oral exams, professional cleanings, and treatment for periodontal disease. We use digital X-rays to assess tooth health and perform extractions when necessary. Preventative care focuses on maintaining oral hygiene to prevent systemic health issues in pets.

Staff is Amazing. I came in as a walk in in tears and a nervous wreck worried about my fur baby. I am not from the area. I found the clinic frantically driving to find a vet. Staff was very kind even in my moment of panic. Surprisingly they are also very affordable. I appreciate staff being very empathetic and sympathetic about my concerns. I highly recommend bringing your fur babies here! I was so excited to hear my boy Prince Charming is ok, I dropped my debit card in the lobby and staff called me immediately!

We recently made an appointment for a unexpected visit as new patient . Clinical Staff was very accommodating got us in same day. They asked for medical records to be transferred and process was very easy. Dr.Lee was very thorough in her exam. Dr.Lees assistant(Dennis) handled my PITBULL with care. Dennis is very efficient by the time Dr.Lee consult was done Dennis had all my pups meds ready to go. This office is very Thorough, fast in a good way and will definitely be transferring for long term care of my pup.

Been taking our two westies to Dr. Kurtz here for a while even though we live ~25 minutes away in the Heights. They provide great care, honest and direct communication (which I really appreciate) and reasonable prices.

Ive taken a few animals here over the years. Back when it was a smaller establishment, and now when theyve done a complete ground up remodel. Its a fantastic facility, with amazing and caring vets, techs, and everyone else. They also dont break your bank account, as their fees are very competitive. I reall cant say enough about them. If you live in this area, or even dont mind the drive from wherever, be sure to give them a try. You will be happy with your choice. : )

They've recently completed a whole new building with added parking, that I'm looking to check out inside, once they open it up post Covid.
I've found the vets are very capable, understanding and genuinely concerned with your pet, in that they will call back to check on your dog/puppy to follow-up on any recovery. I've also found at least to me they don't push you on to their products but give you good sound counsel. I also like that they don't rush you to spay or neuter right away but are understanding of the key hormonal benefits not to rush to do this procedure
