I have not been here for regular vet care, but they did fit me in when my dog was on death's door. It was her time to go, and I had to get her somewhere fast for her own comfort and because I was supposed to be on a plane in an hour. I knew I'd miss my flight, and was so grateful I got to be there for my baby. The people here were wonderful. They saw me relatively quickly given the circumstances, but also took their time as needed. I needed that time with her. I needed that time to get a few last kisses on the cheek. A few more rubs of her fluffy neck. They didn't know me at all but they were so compassionate. The veterinarian that saw her was honest about her prognosis, and helped me make the right decision. When I left and realized I didn't get any clippings of her beautiful soft fur I called, and they took a bunch for me. They saved them for me to pick up when I came to get her ashes. They even all wrote in a card for me and put an ink paw print in it to keep forever. I bawled my eyes out when I picked the package of all her remains and memorial items up from them. This hospital has some wonderful, compassionate people in it. My girl was always so anxious at the vet, and they made her as comfortable as they could. My only regret is that she declined so rapidly I didn't have time to do it at home. Thank you everyone who took care of us that day. Your compassion meant the world. (Photos are of the card, the carefully packaged fur clippings, and a photo of me and my baby girl 8 years ago, long before age got the best of her)

Update to clinic reply: I appreciate your response to criticism. I would like to add that I went first thing in the morning before any other patient. Your lobby was empty, even after leaving. If pricing was more "affordable" the next day after getting an appointment, I would have waited. Also, the new quote was not from a non profit clinic. It was a private hospital like your location. Furthermore, please contact me for my pet's heartworm test results. You charged me for the test, but did not give me any results. Thank you. Very nice staff, excellent vet, clean place and great care, BUT expensive. Got quoted $800 here, and $300 somewhere else the same day for the same care, sedation, and medications. They did "try" to work with me on the price, but still not reasonable. I appreciated the professionalism and how they handled my pet, but won't be my first choice.

After 7 months of my fur baby's surgery, it's time to write a review! After lots of research with high end and low cost clinics/hospitals for a cherry eye surgery, I decided to trust Dr. K and his team and decided on Aldine Animal Hospital for my Cane Corso's eye surgery. When I tell you, you have to trust the process, believe me you have to trust the healing process and this is something Dr. K told me as well. After a couple of months, I was finally able to see her eye healing and as she was getting older her eye was adjusting better to her eye socket. Her surgery was February 2025, fast forward to September 2025 her eye has fully healed and it looks better than it ever has. Dr. K is very honest and tells you there's a chance the cherry eye will come back as surgery doesn't have a 100% success rate however thankfully everything has been great and I think it's safe to say the surgery was 100% successful.

I had a great experience bringing my cat here. The staff was kind, professional, and very patient, which helped put both me and my cat at ease. The vet took the time to answer all of my questions and explained everything clearly. My cat was treated gently and thoroughly during the exam, and I felt confident in the care provided. The office was clean, welcoming, and well-organized, which made the visit even smoother. Overall, I left feeling reassured and grateful for the excellent care my cat received.

A month ago, I called to make an appointment for my dog. I specifically asked if they service animals with snake bites. The receptionist said yes and scheduled my dog for an appointment the next day. They sent her home with antibiotics and pain medication. With no progress, I brought her back into the hospital. Unfortunately, a different vet doctor was on duty. As he examined my dog, it led me to ask the question again: did they even service snake bites, and if they offer the medication needed for her to recover? I was in disbelief when he answered me with a No. The reason was that the antivenom is so expensive, has a short shelf life, and people don’t often bring their pets in for things like that. He then prescribed my dog another medication for pain and inflammation. A week later, still no progress, and now my baby is starting to whimper and not eat. I immediately took her to a rural vet hospital located in College Station, West Brazos Vet Hospital. They were upfront with me about the treatment for my dog, but since so much time had passed, the rattlesnake vaccine or antivenom medication was probably too late to make a difference. Aldine Mail Route Animal Hospital offered neither, but allowed the infection to spread tremendously. Long story short, I won’t trust this animal clinic with biggest enemy’s life, let alone my furry baby, because what they didn’t disclose from the beginning could have saved me time, money, and my dog’s life. They KILLED HER, a bunch of young idiots. And yes, I refused x-rays. But paid countless dollars for other services. I believe since she was a pit-bull (in reality a service animal) her life didn’t matter.
