Padre Animal Hospital

I’ve been taking my two dogs to Padre Animal Hospital now for 3yrs for regular checks and a day surgery . They have always been extremely helpful and caring . Would recommend them to anyone looking for a great veterinarian and staff Read Less

Took our dog in to have a knot looked at. They wouldn't see them until our previous vet faxed over records to make sure they had their vaccines. I had to call them 3 wks later because they never called us about the fluid results they drained. Appt took 2 hrs for simple procedure. Very unfriendly staff. 1 lady was very sweet, other's needs a lesson in customer service. Read Less

Used this Animal hospital way back in 2004-2007 and happy to say they still have an amazing amount of compassion and understanding even to this day! Very happy with all care we have received. And the patience for all the mom brain I have showed. My pup is on the mend because of them! Read Less

This is a highly organized and very personal veterinarian and animal hospital. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful.. If you desire a holistic approach to treating your pet she can also provide that option. We know she has saved our Ruby' s life twice. Dr Heaton is kind and at the same time highly skilled.

After many years of taking my dogs here, I had a situation where a had to put one of my dogs to sleep on a Saturday. I called and spoke with the receptionist who spoke to the doctor and because it was going to be after regular business hours, they said they couldn't help me. In my greatest time of need I was turned away like they didn't even know me or my dog. They will never see another one of my dogs again. Good luck. Read Less

Dr. Heaton has been my vet for the last 20 years. She has taken care of all my animals during that time including horses, dogs and cats. She is incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable and very committed to her patients. Read Less

We've moved a lot and brought our pets to a number of different veterinarians over the years. Dr. Heaton and the staff of Padre Animal Hospital are the absolute best. Dr. Heaton remembers the history of our pets better than we do. She obviously cares about the animals she treats, as demonstrated by followup calls when one of them is having a rough spell. She and her staff are good people and they treat our pets with care. I can't recommend these good people highly enough. If you have a pet that needs care, this is the place to go in Corpus Christi.

Dr. Heaton is a good vet. The staff know what they are doing. They have always given me good recommendations when dealing with my boxer's allergies, weight issues, etc. They are a very busy facility, but that's because they are good. If you wait on hold a few minutes, they have not forgotten you. It would be worth your while to hold on that line! Mary Rohde, owned by her 2 Boxers and her horse :) (my horse Dr. Heaton sees also!)

We called and spoke to a male the day before Halloween. He spoke in a very belittling way and said I should call other places for the RX I needed and they "do not act as a pharmacy for other vets, go somewhere else". He did not even give me a chance to say we have taken our dogs there and they were actual patients when we are in Corpus (we come several weeks a year) and have used this vet a couple times within the last few years. I can honestly say I was not impressed before with the care, facilities or service in the past, but kept using them because the location is convenient. This was the last straw and we will definitely "find somewhere else" like the guy on the phone said.Beware. Read Less

We felt they were the best to take care of our animals in all of CC. The whole staff was caring and knowledgeable about our pets needs. We hated to move and loose their great service. Dr. Heaton and the whole gang won't let you down! She's the best! Read Less
