Preventive care

Dr Gaffrey is definitely 5 stars. Without a doubt he cares about your pet. Very easy to talk to, explains things well, and doesn't try to gouge you.

Our Chihuahua wasn't feeling well over Memorial Day weekend. We were able to get an appointment to get him looked at quickly on Tuesday. Dr. W was very thorough in his examination and with his questions. After the examination and blood work, Dr. W said that most likely Pico ate something that bothered his intestinal track. By Tuesday afternoon, Pico was back to his old self! We appreciated the friendly and helpful staff at Stoneside! We'll be taking our pets here again as needed.

I am so grateful to have a place like this I can take my dogs to.Doc and staff are so genuinely concerned about my boys. I love this place. Clean, professional, and always willing to bestow tips and knowledge for someone like me that asks two million questions. If you want people that know what they're talking about, won't up-charge you and treat your babies like you do, try these guys out.

A truly wonderful office, vet, and staff! Their office is easy to find, quaint, and clean! Dr. Gaffrey is knowledgeable, personable, and truly an animal lover. I have used several vets over the years that had become desensitized and detached from their love for animals due to the nature of the profession. But not Dr. G and his staff! You can tell they love and care for each animal like their own, and they even had the aforethought to create separate treatment rooms for dogs and cats. They also utilize a user-friendly pet portal to manage records, prescriptions, and appointments, and they always have lots of openings for appointments. I've also never waited in the waiting room – as soon as I walk in they always have me go straight to a treatment room (and I've arrived at varying degrees of early, on-time, and late haha). So if you are in the Cypress/Hockley/Waller area (or even beyond, it's worth it), 10/10 recommend taking your pets here! So, so happy with Stoneside. The attached picture is my cat, Mr. Boots, after climbing atop the cabinets in the "cat room" in an attempt to escape his shots 😂 .. the vet techs happily climbed up there and retrieved him for me haha!

Dr. Gaffrey is one of the kindest human beings. We have taken so many animals to him, both strays we have found, as well as our own pets. In each situation, he is professional, caring, and thorough in his explanations.
