Veterinary Hospital of Alvin

My adopted shelter baby is not very well behaved with other animals. And they make sure that nobody else is around when we come in and go to the room. I appreciate that more than you'll ever know.

Long story short, we left our original vet after we lost our 2yo Dane (bodhi 😭) extremely traumatically and had ZERO follow up. We knew we wanted our money and family loved animals to go elsewhere. I came across this vet while working with Save Rocky Great Dane Rescue. Speaking w that experience, this dane (sweet young Scarlett) was a backyard breeder rescue and had minimal social skills. Scared of everything! They were SO IN TUNE to her. Even saying if I wanted to come in on any other day to practice her getting used to everyone and the office — I think they called them “care visits” (?) — they would do that free of cost! Either way, behavior needs w animals are so common and I ADORED they were willing to do whatever it took to make their patients comfortable. Now, fast forward to our newest addition, Hagen. A 5mo old dane/mastiff mix! I knew this was the vet he needed to come too. It’s a bit of a drive, but from the experience alone with Scarlett — I knew it was worth it. And boy, was I right. Not only was the visit smooth and the people were SO caring. They loved on Hagen so so much!! The pricing was very competitive. They didn’t push unnecessary meds or tests. Honestly, should’ve came here with Bodhi when some of his issues started to arise; because maybe… he could’ve still been with us. UGH! But moving forward. I know our animals will be in the BEST hands. When I opened my mailbox today and we received this handwritten letter from the vet — I knew we made the right decision. They have a forever customer right here. Would absolutely recommend.

Being a K9 handler, we look for vets that accommodate working dogs that come with big personalities. I have found that exact match here and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. Each staff member took their time to allow my young working dog to adjust and overcome any uncertainty he was feeling. From the receptionist, to the techs, to the Vet, every single one was extraordinary with him. I'll be moving over the care for all of my dogs to this practice!

They are very nice and will listen to what you have to say. They know what they are doing and are very good with the animals. Much better than other vets in Alvin in my experience in recent years. Not much else to say, they do good work.

All the folks at VHA are friendly and kind. From handling tiny kittens to neutering sugar gliders, from annual check-ups to annual teeth cleaning, and from answering endless questions to compassionately dealing with cremation services, you can trust Dr. Galvin and her crew to do a good job with a minimum of fuss. Dr. Galvin cares so much for her patients that she takes care of them even with a broken foot!
