Padre Animal Hospital

Dr. Heaton has been my vet for the last 20 years. She has taken care of all my animals during that time including horses, dogs and cats. She is incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable and very committed to her patients.

Dr. Heaton is a good vet. The staff know what they are doing. They have always given me good recommendations when dealing with my boxer's allergies, weight issues, etc. They are a very busy facility, but that's because they are good. If you wait on hold a few minutes, they have not forgotten you. It would be worth your while to hold on that line! Mary Rohde, owned by her 2 Boxers and her horse :) (my horse Dr. Heaton sees also!)

We called and spoke to a male the day before Halloween. He spoke in a very belittling way and said I should call other places for the RX I needed and they "do not act as a pharmacy for other vets, go somewhere else". He did not even give me a chance to say we have taken our dogs there and they were actual patients when we are in Corpus (we come several weeks a year) and have used this vet a couple times within the last few years. I can honestly say I was not impressed before with the care, facilities or service in the past, but kept using them because the location is convenient. This was the last straw and we will definitely "find somewhere else" like the guy on the phone said.
Beware.

The staff and the vet are professional, kind, and take the time to explain what's wrong with your pet. When Snuggles needs medical care, it's Padre Animal Hospital that takes care of her.
