My puppy doesn't mind going. Tell her we are going to the Vet & she gets excited. Sometimes if they are not really busy they give her a treat because she behaves well. They treat puppy parents well, also. Staff is very helpful. Read Less

Awesome and tentative staff! Techs and Docs make every experience worry free. Long waits on Saturdays! Get comfortable. Prices are incredibly cheap for services rendered. You cannot beat them anywhere else. Read Less

Went in to get my dogs tested for heartworm and meds. Had the tests done and was sent home without needed meds. Went back two weeks later...it's a long haul for Mr and was told I would have to have the tests rerun before I could get the needed meds. That's expensive. Also never saw the vet for tape worms for one dog. All handled by girls in office...not vet. Will never go back. They were so rude. Read Less

I’m glad that mostly everyone else on here has had a positive experience with y’all, my experience was with my brother’s Baby, a cat that was no where near old, and ready to go.. Took him in, he had to get catherized, when I took him back in for removal, Vet tells me a whole different story than what had been told to my Mom, and the tech, or whoever he was yanked the catheter out, their carelessness caused our cat to have so much scar tissue that he was not able to urinate at all, he was in so much pain! We ended up taking him to where the cat expert is, at Altas Palmas, and there we were told about the scar tissue and that our cat needed to go out of the valley for a procedure.. So because of Country Vet our beloved Possum had to be put down:(( Read Less

Dr. Montalvo and the female Dr. are awesome but the staff really sucks. They sometimes don't know what they are doing and have given me wrong medication. They are always to busy talking to each other in the back and forget to get back at you with answers to questions that have been asked. Even with appointment it takes hours to get seen. Read Less

Searched through a lot of vets before I found Dr Montalbano. Honest, integrity, compassionate, communicates options and is very trustworthy. I drive 1 1/2 hours and today 5 hours to see my vet and my friends at the country vet. Thank you for all you do. Read Less

Highly recommend this vet. Took our dog there because of intermittent diarrhea. Diagnosed him with hookworms. Treated him with 6 month shot that also included heartworms. Great vet tech. Caring and professional staff. Reasonably priced also. Read Less

Best vet in the county by far. They're so fast, professional, and friendly. They never make me wait long and they're great at what they do. The whole staff is very helpful and I never leave with unanswered questions. They're so sweet to my dogs and I, my whole family comes here. I wouldn't go anywhere else for fast, friendly, and affordable vet care. Read Less

There is a new Vet there now. Do not let this Vet see your pet. Wait or schedule to see the other two Vets that have been there before this one. This new Vet will tack on extra procedures/charges even if they are not needed. Don't let this new Vet ruin your Rep' Country Vet. Read Less

Our little dog has been having health issues for the last several months which our previous vet seemed unable to diagnose. Dr. Sarrah ran the right tests and prescribed medications that have our dog acting more like himself than he has in a LONG time! It's a bit of a drive from the north end of Brownsville, but it's worth it to me! I am so grateful we found The Country Vet! Read Less

After having the worst experience at Furry Friends Animal Hospital.. I was traumatized! They wanted to charge me $800 to remove lumps on my dog. The nice doctor at the country vet said that was ridiculous!! She said they did not have to be removed but if I chose to do the procedure it would cost $125. They healed my dog from all the damage done by previous vet. The country vet is affordable, great service and honest care for your pet . Read Less

Very disappointed. Always take my pets here but took my dog in for emergency and they turned him away and the following morning he died. Can't help but feel if he would've seen doctor he may have had a chance to make it Read Less

It's okay. Staff is a bit cold mannered. The doc really cares about your pet. The thing is they don't have a lab there which makes diagnostics and blood testing harder. Also, I brought my late kitty here and the vet wasn't able to say what was wrong and sent us home after an antibiotic shot and with a med. The thing is my kitty passed away either way. I changed of vet hospital, and I asked the new vet about my late cat's symptoms and he was perfectly able to tell me what it could have been, unlike here. Read Less

My husband & I loved them Our female boxer (rescue) has multiple medical conditions & several Vets here in town (McAllen) turned us away when requesting to get her spayed. When calling The Country Vet, they were very professional & so easy to work with over the phone. Our waiting time for surgery was a little over a week from the call; when compared to other places whom wanted us to wait over a month and a half . We arrived at her scheduled time and within 5 minutes the Vet tech at the front had already got all our dog's history & had taked her to the back When she came out of surgery they called us right away & we rushed to pick her up. We are amazed of the job they perform; prices are affordable & you can tell what a good job they do. Also, our dog's incisions were PERFECT! (I am a nurse & always assess my dogs to see the incision after surgery & have it as a baseline to compare with several days post-surgery; this is our first dog taken to The Country Vet but our 4th being spayed/neutered so we are no strangers to the procedure being done) 100% RECOMMENDED Read Less

I took my rescue horse Felix to The Country Vet yesterday ... Dr. Ramirez is wonderful. Felix was seen by Dr Ramirez and Lyle Anderson (ferrier) and supervised by puppy dog Louie. That Felix is a rescue is important to Dr Ramirez, Dr John and their staff and are careful with cost while providing excellent care. I am grateful to this Vet practice. Read Less

Been coming for over 3 years and never really have had a "bad" experience here...but waiting 30 freaking minutes for a rabies shot being the only one in the waiting room....seriously!? Then the guy receptionist tells me..."Oh I didn't know they hadn't given them to you!" Really ...then why would I still be sitting here?! Just to have him come and give them to her? Couldn't he have done that during the 30 mins he was just sitting there? So unprofessional and super unorganized! Read Less

We had such a wonderful experience. Took in my daughter's Border Collie for the works and the treatment our baby received there was like no other starting with the young lady that checked us in, to the technician who took our information then our wonderful experience with Dr Montalbano and Angela Agudelo. We are so pleased and highly recommend this Veterinarian clinic to everyone. Read Less

Took a dog that i found and didn't know what was wrong but clearly something was wrong and told us to take it to animal shelter and that if the dog made it through the night then the animal shelter could take care of it. This place is only about the money. Hated my experience with this place and wouldn't recommend it. Read Less

If I could give it a zero, it would give it a -10. 2 dogs here have already died, both were "fine" but once they were going to get picked up, all of a sudden they take a turn for the worst. The only one that cares is the ACTUAL DOC. I've seen everyone else be annoyed by the dogs there. One dog and his human had to sit because apparently a dog bleeding bad is not an emergency. Once the doc came in, they all acted as if they LOVE their job. YOU DON'T GIVE A DOG THAT HAS A STOKE A SHOT TO CALM IT DOWN! Read Less

I took my rescue dog in yesterday for the removal of a pyometra, vaccinations and treatment for a skin and ear infection. I was so happy with the attention from the staff; they really took the time in finding the right treatments for her. I was also extremely happy with the cost of her veterinary care. I had a previous quote from a different clinic for over $1200 and the Country Vet did it all for $400. Needless to say, I will be taking my dogs here from now on! Read Less

Went here with our pup and could not have been treated better! Everyone was so understanding and sympathetic to mine and my dogs feelings and needs. I also witnessed them show so much compassion and understanding to other people there with their pets. Would definitely recommend them to other pet owners. Read Less

If you take your pet to the country vet make sure no techs or other docs other than Montalbano assess them. One of the techs misdiagnosed our dog after I asked them to do x-rays from his foot to the hip because his hind left leg was becoming weak. After the xrays she told us our dog had hip dysplasia. Our dog became paralyzed to the left hind leg. We took it back and this time Dr. Montalbano saw him and said it was not hip dysplasia, he had a fungus to his spine. Since it wasn't diagnosed correctly the 1st time around and started on antibiotics he is now paralyzed to right hind leg also. I spoke to Dr. Montalbano yesterday and he wants to do a biopsy on our dog to get a diagnosis. I asked for the vet tech's name that misdiagnosed him and of course was not allowed that information. I will take our dog back tomorrow for the biopsy but i will say one thing, they better make this right because our dog is suffering from the mistake of one of his employees.Read Less

I looked and went to several vets before settling at the Country Vet for my pet needs. As a breeder it is extremely important to be able to keep the lines of communication between my self and my dogs caregiver open. Dr Montalbano provided that for me and my animals. Dr Montalbano is the friendlies most down to earth vet I have ever met. Thank you for always being there for me. You are truly a blessing to me and my animals. Stay humble stay sweet. Read Less

Great place to take your pets. The staff is friendly and listen to your concerns. The doc is a great guy, i've known of him since he had his other office (off of 77 sunshine strip) and humble man, knows his stuff. People worry about how expensive a vet visit, but at the country vet, the prices are reasonable. Read Less

I had always heard wondering thing but never experienced it myself untl my first visit this week. I went in worried about my fur babies health but i was instantly put at ease. They were super professional and speedy. They treated my doggie with caring hands and he is doing so wonderful. Thank you for treating my dog as if he were your own. Read Less

Great staff always real attentive. Especially there quick no long waiting times. Luv the veterinary doctors there as well as staff to for being so kind. Best place for ur pets care. And a cheap one to they work for helping not trying too charge a arm and leg. All I can say is that you'll luv the country vet. Read Less

Dr's are knowledgeable and nice. Price is low. Hear local stories about bad experiences. My own cat died day after amputation. Don't know why. It was hit by car so they took the leg off and said be okay. When a stray I brought had heart worms the cashier who handed me the medicine never said "must be refrigerated". If not noticed was cold would have ruined medicine. Dogs heart worms didn't seem to get better and a different vet gave me pills instead of liquid version that were much easier to give. Dog no longer whizzes when excited. Read Less

Really helpful vets and friendly staff that take their time with you to answer any questions. Their prices are affordable compared to others. It can take a day or two to get an appointment since they are usually busy, but they take walk-ins on Saturday mornings. Read Less

They have always been very busy , but very attentive of new patients ,, I give thanks to desk help to fit us in a quick appt. ,   We adopted a new puppy and she's always getting into stuff . Glad they can help us , I highly recommend this place , the staff always make sure to have a smile and be very supportive of your pets needs. When we save up extra funds we would love to donate to this place weather is monetary or time in volunteering. 5 stars thank you Read Less

Love the staff and the doctors! Dr. John and his staff are very knowledgeable and you can tell they truly love what they do. They don't overcharge like other places, which is a plus too! I refer everyone their way. Read Less

I started taking my Great Danes to Dr. Montalbano because I was told he was the best locally for large breeds. I have never been happier with a vet! He's knowledgeable, kind, patient and never rushes you out the door (even when there's a full waiting room). When my Dachshund was suffering from muscular degeneration with unknown cause, he tried everything before accepting my decision to put her to rest, and everyone was so kind throughout the process. The staff is friendly and they never forget a face - human or patient. Pricing is also unbeatable!Read Less
