Alvin Friendswood Veterinary Center

We have been going to Friendswood Alvin veterinary clinic for 15 years. Dr. Pickle and her staff are great. They are all friendly and so caring. They have gone way beyond normal in taking care of our fur babies and do so to this day. I would highly recommend them. Jon & Laroyce Coy Read Less

Dr. Pickles is ...Great! I took my dog to several Vets. They could not figure out what was wrong with my dog. Dr. Pickles found her busted ear drum, right away! She and her great caring staff have been a blessing for me. They are the ...Best💓 Read Less

I took my 5 yr old car to get an abssces removed and did the surgery right away. The staff was friendly at first don't get me wrong. I took him home took care of him for his recovery. Went back a week later my mother dropped him off in the morning cause of course I have a job to be at. Well when I picked him up they done treatment without my consent and I paid the bill. They sent him home with more antibiotics and pain med. Mind you the cat has to be in the restroom and a cone on his head for this whole period of time. When he went back Friday to what I hoped be a good experience ended up being terrible. I asked if they could give me an estimate rate before hand to see if I can afford it also to inform me before giving treatment so i can approve I was ok with what they had in mind but they didn't even know what the plan was for him. We're they gonna remove the drain tube or not what was going on. No one had answer for me. I asked for my cats medical records so I can take him elsewhere for a second opinion . Brandy refused to give them to saying that I received them after paying for treatment I had no idea where I had left them. So I simply asked for copies she still said no I offered to pay for them she still said no. So my mom went ahead and picked him up and we will be taking somewhere else. It seemed to me they just wanted recurring visits. I couldn't afford going every week for what was like 100 to 300 a week. Then after I refused having him seen there they remove the drain tube with out any information on what to do next. Apparently his wound was healing fine according to them and he didn't need the tube in anymore sent him home wide open no explanation on how to treat him with his wound open like that. I have never had such a bad experience with a clinic like this. I don't recommend anyone going here. Read Less

The best place ever!!!! Dr. Pickle and Ashley are by far some of the best people I have ever met! And they are fabulous with my fur babies. Dr. Pickle even took my puppy home with her just so she could watch him through the night! Read Less

This place is one of the best things to ever happen to me or my pets. Dr. Pickle looks after all my animals like they were her own flesh and blood. I always feel comfortable boarding my animals there or dropping them off for medical reasons because I know they are in good hands. The whole Pickle family gives 110% to the clinic at all times. Ashlee is an amazing technician, Doc is incredibly knowledge and Dale always finds time to to help with maintenance and management. The rest of the staff might as well be family. They are always ready to help and keep everything there running like a well oiled machine. I like them so much, I married one of them. (The hot one of course). Read Less

We can't say ENOUGH great things about Dr. Pickle and her staff. She has treated some of our adopters who are always pleased. In addition she has performed surgeries on rescue pups and we have always been pleased. Great vet. Big heart and a TRUE love of animals. Thank you Dr.P. Read Less

I have been taking my Yorkie and my daughter's Great Dane to Dr.Pickle for over five years. There is no other veterinarian I trust more than Dr.Pickle. She has done surgery on my Yorkie and she is the most conscientious doctor I have ever met. She will not allow your pet to suffer, and her love of animals is apparent in her office. She is always taking in strays and finding good homes for these little guys. She has even helped me with our horse on one occasion. Dr. Susan Pickle is my family's trusted vet, I will not go anywhere else. Read Less

Before i took my dog here i read reviews on google and figured they were 50/50.. was i wrong :( After they tried to sell me every shot or vaccine possible of giving to a dog they were not the nicest people i guess because i informed them that my dog was current on all vaccines and he regularly attended another veterinarian.. Their mood changed after they could not sell me anything i was only there for a health check for my dog. The vet lady said she had a call to attend and never returned to the room of check ups to talk to us regarding the exams she did on our dog, after 30 minutes the technician showed up just to tell us the vet was on the phone and we could come back or call to get our questions answered.. Please listen to the reviews posted before mine! "IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR DOG DONT GO HERE TO ALVIN-FRIENDSWOOD VET CLINIC" i figure its only a matter of time before they go out of business when we went there the place was isolated we were the only ones there and we could not figure why they made us wait so long. :( our grade is an FRead Less

Great veterinary clinic.  Clean! Friendly staff and Dr. Pickle is the best.  She is very familiar with yorkies and the needs of these tiny little dogs.  I would trust her with any of my small dogs.  Thanks for getting Paw Paw back on the road to recovery!!!! Read Less

This clinic does not care about your animal, your repeat business, or the quality of service they provide. I really did not want to write this review but, when I repeatadly tried to reach out to Dr. Pickle to discuss the treatment which my dog recieved in her clinic she did not respond to my calls, emails and also could not find time to speak with me when I tried to meet with her at the clinic. (When the event occured Dr Pickle was on vacation and another Doctor was standing in. ) I recently took my dog to her clinic to get shaved and to have his nails trimmed. (He is a German Shepherd and he gets hot spots every season unfortunately.) He has to be under anethesia in order to shave him so I asked that he also have his nails trimmed.However when I looked at his fet after picking him up I noticed they missed his front feet. When I called the clinic to speak with them they were rude and told me that there were three people plus a doctor in the room so they know that his nails were trimmed. They then told me they didn't want to cut them too short because they would bleed. His front nails were at least 1/4 of an inch from the quick and never touched. Three people spoke with me on the phone to confirm that the nails were in fact trimmed. (The nails were actually long and rounded at the end unlike the ones they actually trimmed.) I sent an email to the office with pictures of his nails to prove that they were never trimmed and asked in that email for Dr. Pickle to contact me. I also took the dog back to the office to show the staff that the nails were not done. The office manager would not even lean down to look at my dogs feet and argued that they could trim them more but they are already trimmed. I have tried to call the office 5 times and I have come in person so that I may speak with Dr. Pickle about the care my dog received and the treatment that I received. I have spent three weeks trying to contact Dr.Pickle. Either she doesn't receive the message or doesn't care about her clients because I have not received an answer to my email, calls nor could she find a moment to see me. I phone call only takes 5 minutes. This clinic has shown me that they do not care about my animal or me as a client. If 4 people in the same room watching the same task can not verify that the task is performed then their quality of service is extremely lacking. I have taken all of my animals here for several years and I am very disappointed in their recent actions. I will not be taking any of my dogs back to this clinic.Read Less

Amazing experience every time. I've read some of the other reviews and I get it.... just like any medical place that takes in emergency situations, their schedule can abruptly change.... So if you are waiting for fluffy to get her nails trimmed and a dog is brought in that was hit by a car, your fluffy might be hanging out a bit longer than expected. Their knowledgeable staff and courteous demeanor more than makes up for any delays I've ever experienced there. Everyone there is a true animal lover and it shows in the personal touch and attention they give to my pets and others.Read Less

Dr. Pickle and Dr. Osborne and their staff have been the family pets caretakers for over a decade. The doctors and staff genuinely care and take the necessary time with each pet and I believe they actually "feel the pain" for the families. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing veterinarian care. Read Less
