Unfortunately, I had to bring my best friend here after finding a mass in his abdomen. The staff here is so sweet, caring and professional and their facility was clean, nice and comforting. They made sure that we had all options and information available so we could make the best choice in a terrible time. While I hope I never have to return, if I have a furry friend in need of their services in the future, I won't hesitate to bring them here.

I have nothing but great things to say about The Woodlands Animal Cancer and Referral Center. We were always kindly greeted and all the staff always kept me informed on the next steps and promptly responded to any questions I had after my dogs surgery. My dog had a large cancerous mass on his lower jaw removed by Dr. Souza. My dog is now cancer free, happy and loving life! Thank you to Dr. Souza and staff for the excellent care and saving his life!

No one ever hopes to go to a place like this. Period. But if you are in the situation where you need compassionate care and knowledgeable staff I can highly recommend this practice. Dr Christopher Robinson was incredibly kind and extremely well versed in oncology. His demeanor is perfect for delivering a difficult message. The facility is welcoming peaceful. Toys and treats for the pets and Kleenex, snacks warm drinks for parents. The consultation rooms are warm and comfortable. All of the staff are kind and respectful. Although, it’s not good news for our dog, we got the data that we needed to make the difficult decision and I am forever grateful.

Beautiful location. Knowledgeable doctors. I wasted a day drivint an 1.5 hr only to learn that they didn't have their ultrasound tech that day, even though they scheduled me for the appointment knowing I'd need the ultrasound to understand the extent of my dog's cancer. Then, they rescheduled me for the next week with plans to charge me again for another consultation. I found them kind and caring but not respectful of time or considerate of cost. I have taken my pet to a different location. You won't be wrong getting treatment here; it just did not fit well with my attention to detail and care.

Thank you Dr. Souza, Dr Kaiser, Dr Robinson, Shelby, Crystal, Tabatha, Cayla, Amanda, Catherine, Jenny, Cristina, and anyone else involved in Jack's care. We thank you for giving our 3 year old son a chance. He enjoyed every day like it was his last. If you have a pet dealing with Cancer, this is where you should go. They listen to you and will try to help your pet beat cancer. They are honest and let you know your pets chances before you begin treating cancer to help you make your decision. Sorry Jack peed on the dog library sticks but it was a sweet memory of him while he was alive. Such a stinker! I highly recommend this place without reservation.
