Preventive care

I had a great experience with Matagorda Veterinary clinic. I spoke with Amanda and she helped me figure out if my pet was missing any vaccinations for boarding. I had taken my pet previously to a different vet (because of where I was located) and was not sure how to read the vaccine record in regards to the vaccination abbreviations. Amanda had me email her the vaccination records and she explained all of them to me. I am so happy with the service I have received from her. Amanda had such great customer service. I will be taking my pet here for any visits.

The only vet that I have taken all of my my furry children to, for over ten years now. Have always been treated with the utmost respect. Not just my wife and I, but our animals as well. The prices are always fair, the staff is always courteous. And pretty much any question I've ever had, they have been able to answer with more than enough knowledge then I was actually looking for. I would give them six stars if I could.

Amazing staff! I moved recently to Bay City and they welcome my fur baby. No application needed. All I did was just to call, ask and drop off paperwork from previous vet. We were in a room as soon as we walked in. They responded very nice to our emergency. Price was reasonable. New clinic, nice and spacious. 5 ⭐️ for the whole experience. We found our vet🥰

What I like most about the clinic is the staff. They are very friendly and compassionate with the animals and the veterinarian explains what is or could be wrong with the pet and explains all options of which route to take to make the pet better and explains step by step as they work. I want to know what's going on with my dogs and she makes sure I understand without having to ask. The place is also very affordable.
