Crosby Veterinary Clinic

One thing you should understand about this vet’s office, its a «country vet» big difference between them and a town vet! I took a dog I found in a ditch in, her foot had be broken and mangled badly, presumed when she was tossed from the car. Any way a town vet looks at the mangled foot and would say, we need ex rays, blood work, and pills pills pills blah blah blah and several hundred dollars later they will tell you the foot is broke, DUH
This country vet uses common sense and says; well the foots obviously broke, but she’s to sick to make any decisions about it right now, lets give her an antibiotic and get her healthy and later we will make a decision on ex rays and removing the leg or not. That appointment cost me 34.00, the dog healed up and we didn’t need to remove the leg. It was so badly mangled that it did heal up crooked but its made no difference to her.
I guess some people would call this bad vet work, I call it realistic, down to earth country vet. I just found this dog, I was not going to spend hundreds of dollars on a dog I didn’t even own. Now I could have said, hey spend the money charge me hundreds take ex rays, do blood work… But I had the option NOT to. Honestly that option is what saved the dogs life.
The other difference is they don’t really do appointments, you just show up and wait your turn. Now for me that’s fine I have the time, but for my girl friend who needs to work around her work schedule that doesn’t work.
Over all I find this clinic to be very caring about your pet, the service is wonderful and I love that I feel like I have the «choice» of how much I can/​want to spend on vet care, and they don’t make me feel guilty about any decision.

I have taken my other dogs to Crosby Veterinary Clinic for standard shots and pills, but not crazy about the service from the actual vet, although the front staff was cordial. Noticed the sanitation gap between this and my former vet in Kingwood, but didn’t think much about it because it was so busy. On the last trip I noticed that there was smeared fluid, either blood or feces, on the exam table, as well as hair left from earlier exams.
I recently got a lab puppy, and began taking him to this clinic for his puppy shots and worming, and heartworm/​worm preventative. After three wormings and 4 visits to the clinic (and one to my former vet), I was given a vaccination certificate for his puppy shots (rabies and parvo). This was on May 26. Last Monday, he threw up in the night and would not eat the next morning. I took him to my old Kingwood vet as they are excellent and I have confidence in them. Imagine my surprise and dismay when he was diagnosed with parvo and worms. He is still in their care and touch and go. I have emotionally invested heavily in this puppy, and will go to whatever lengths and costs to get him healthy. I will NEVER set foot in Crosby Veterinary Clinic again. Cheap is not worth loss.

I have been to this veterinarian about 5 times. Each time I find something I can’t stand. When I was young my grandmother had a sickly horse who she love dearly. Dr told her she would have to get the horse put down but Dr Hall in Dayton took the horse in and she came out good as new!
When I was in FFA I took my goat to the vet bc we banded him but his testicles failed to fall off. Using no anesthetic a the doctor snipped them off right in front of me! I was 13! The goat screamed bloody murder and I watched as blood flowed down onto the cement. I then of course passed out.
Once upon a time I called to ask a simple question and was treated so rudely on the phone! Like she had no time for me to ask a quick little question! Take a Xanax lady!
The other times I went in I had a dog. Now, get this, they may possibly have the smallest waiting room in all the world, you have cats and dogs within this tiny room, some sick, most are unsocialized and are barking, growling, or showing extreme signs of stress/​fear. The owners yell at their dog for these behaviors and hit them and tell them to Sit-​Sit-​Sit-​Sit-​Sit-​Sit-​Sit-​Sit-​Sit!!! If you wait outside your dog gets hot very easily.
The last time I went they gave my dog medication he was allergic to, not their fault but just thought it applied. Would like to see them rebuild the place and have more knowledgable employees, bigger waiting room and for the love of God allow people to set up appointments!!!
And yes they are the cheapest. Don’t be a cheapskate, you’re better off paying a little bit more for much better service! Go to Huffman, you and our dog/​cat will be much happier!

Great place to take your animals to see the vet. They do a great job and are reasonably priced. e have been to the high dollar vets, and we were so glad when we found this place.

Received excellent service from the vet & assistants. Based on a first come, first served basis & Saturday is understandably, a busy day. Our family looks forward to using their services in the future.

This clinic is cool if you need to get your pet shots or get routine medications. It’s walk in and first come first serve. They have an extensive lunch break so be cautious of that time. You and your pet are kind of herded through hastily by the vets and assistants. If you have any concerns and want the vet to spend more than a few seconds glancing over your pet, then go somewhere else. But if you need shots, wormer, etc come here!

Besides being a little dirty because of all the traffic that they get there, this clinic is extremely friendly and they have a lot of passion for what they do, from the doctors to the wonderful greeting ladies in the front. I’ve learned more about what I am required to do as a first time pet owner from them than I had ever realized I would be able to… they’re absolutely amazing. And the prices are better than I could ask for.

I love this Veterinary Clinic, their true love and concern for animals is legit. Prices are great too. Genuine concern, knowledge and love for animals is why I always travel from Houston to this clinic, because of the peace of mind of giving my animals to the right knowledgeable and loving care. Your pet or animal is in good hands at this place.

I usually don’t make use of a vet except for when my dog was a young puppy and when my motorcycle President recently got his young puppy. I think that beginning with an actual veterinary is best when you’re dealing with inexperience such as my President and me. (On a regular basis, outside of emergencies, I make use of Luv My Pet that visits most PetCos).
This vet is especially popular because it’s one of the few places that is open on Saturdays. Because of such hours, bring your patience on Saturdays. It’s almost kind of exciting as the larger and somewhat hard-​to-​handle dogs are on the front patio, smaller pups and cats are in the general lobby, and larger animals like horses and cows make use of a rear entrance.
Begin and end by standing in the same line. You usually sign-​in then wait, and once your visit is over, you wait anxiously to approach the same desk to pay. I found quite an honor system to be present. As many owners exited with their hard to handle pets, they immediately exited the building to get the pets situated in their vehicle, then they all returned to pay. I like to think of such actions as perks of living in (or close to) the country…
Prices are pretty comparable to Luv My Pet. However, there’s no substitute for a clean, reliable, and friendly vet for emergencies and a personal touch.

Beside the long wait if you don’t get here right at open, best clinic around. I drive 60 miles round trip to bring my 2 dogs and my cat here.
Since I couldn’t find the hours listed anywhere on the internet:
8:30 — 12:00 and 2:00 — 5:30 Monday thru Friday, 8:30 — 12:00 Saturday, and closed Sunday.
