I found a infant kitten in pretty bad shape and brought him here. The vet did his best to treat a really difficult situation, he empathized and showed great compassion for the 3 week old kitten. In the end, he saved my kitten who otherwise wouldn't have made it. The kitten is running around and eating again, just like his siblings! A++, would come again. Read Less

I've visited other Vets in the area and I have stayed with Dr. Wainwright and his staff for more than 5 years now. I have two dogs and they have been treated for minor aches and surgery for a torn ACL. I trust him and his staff to give my pups the best of care. He also works with Rescue Organizations. I recently got two foster pups and both were seen by Dr. Wainwright. It's a trustworthy animal hospital. Read Less

I have been taking my cats here for a few years now, and have always enjoyed my visits with Dr Wainwright. He is to the point and does not push a bunch of extra vaccines or tests on me like other vets have in the past. He also is extremely affordable. I bring 1 of my cats in once a quarter for his asthma flares and the vet and his techs allow me to handle my own cat to reduce his stress levels during the visit. It has been extremely difficult for me to find a vet for my cats bc they're cats basically. I even paid the high price of going to Jersey Village Animal Hospital a couple times only to watch my cat lose hair faster than a porcupine loses quills. If you think that's the cats fault, you must not know anything about cats. After my visits at Canfel, the office always follows up with me about 1-2 weeks later to make sure my pets are doing well. I am extremely grateful to have found Dr Wainwright and continue to recommend his services to all my friends and family with pets in the area. Thank you, Canfel! Read Less

Took my dog child to get a influenza shot and heartworm test and this was our second visit at this place. The receptionist is not friendly at all. She does not greet you when you walk in and has this silly blank look on her face. No matter how friendly you are to her, she just looks at you like she is a Debby Downer. No communication between the staff and the pet parents on what they are doing to your child. No bedside manners. Read Less

We dropped off a sweet but scared GSD that we had just trapped for a rescue and were just totally amazed at the incredible gentleness and patience Paige, the vet tech, showed to terrified Huck. Her kindness, compassion and clear expertise on reading Huck's body language and whale eyes said volume about her knowledge and dedication to animal welfare. Being in rescue, one tends to meet many vet techs who don't realize care --Paige was the total antithesis of that and we were so grateful for how delicately and gingerly she handled scared Huck. We did not get to meet Dr. Wainright, but if his professional standards commensurate with the ones of his vet tech Paige, I give Canfel 4 paws up!!' Read Less

this was the world's WORST vet! I brought in my bulldog who was having trouble breathing and the vet ignored me. I pleaded with him and he acted like I was over-reacting. He made me wait 45 minutes before sending me back out in rush hour traffic to the REAL animal hospital. My beloved dog died on the way. This horrible vet could've saved my dog but he chose not to. Then he charged me $160 for my trouble!! DON'T EVER GO TO THIS VET!!! Read Less

I recently had a CRISIS situation with my English Bulldog, Hamilton. I have a NORMAL vet that I typically use but because it was 5 o'clock and it seemed absolutely DIRE that he get care NOW I chose to go AROUND the corner to the "Animal HOSPITAL" the sign says ANIMAL HOSPITAL so when I went in I thought my sweet boy would be safe! My boy was trying to vomit and had a bit of diarrhea. I was concerned because his stomach was REALLY hard like a woman in labor having a contraction. I went in and explained the things I was alarmed by and the Vet was short, rude and tried to make ME the CLIENT feel like I had chosen a BAD breed of animal. I asked him what he thought was wrong and if he was going to die. His words VERBATIM, "he is a bulldog I can tell you that, he could be FINE one minute and DIE the next but he DOESNT seem to be in crisis right now!" That should've been MY FIRST clue to leave but I actually BELIEVED this guy!! I thought well maybe I am OVER reacting so I SAT back down in a room BY myself while my puppy STRUGGLED to get air, gagged until he turned BLUE, and waited! We waited for 45 mins before he gave Hamilton an X-ray!! After he reviewed the X-ray he proceeded to SEND my DYING puppy and I to an Emergency HOSPITAL which is EXACTLY where I thought I was!!!! A HOSPITAL! We left the office and my sweet boy and I sat in traffic trying to get to an animal hospital on 249. He died in the way and I gave him cpr STILL driving but it was too late!!! Please please please if YOU LOVE tour pets and they are YOUR family do NOT go to this Man!!! My puppy had bloat! He needed a procedure!!! He needed a surgery! He could possibly still be alive.

We love Canfel for our sweet boy! When I picked him up to be a foster, the staff was so sweet. After 2 days, we decided to keep him and paid the rescue/adoption fee which included him being neutered, all shots up to date, and microchipped. We just went back and got all of his shots up to date for the annual ones and he did great. Thank you to Zoila for helping us find this place! Read Less

This place will charge you for every penny on standard procedures such as spaying and neutering. They will charge you for every machinery, anesthesia, equipment, medicine, syringes, blood test, examination, and even charge you for the air that your pet breathes in the operating room. This clinic will try to avoid giving an estimate invoice on the days or weeks prior to the date of the requested procedure. I had to ask the receptionist politely for a detailed invoice/estimate and you can tell by the scowl on her face and her nasty demeanor that her superiors probably told her to be evasive when honestly disclosing this type of information. They follow the "surprise the customer and present the bill at the very end with bogus charges" philosophy.The invoice/estimate was enough to scare the hell out of me, because it was only an "estimate" and the cost was at $190+ and will be including much more charges after the procedure has been performed. This is for a standard spay/neuter and not an operation to save an animal that requires major surgery after being hit by a car. Are you kidding me? I think they just charged me another $100.00 for borrowing their pen and breathing in their waiting room. Read Less

I have a rescued husky who is extremely lovable around people he knows and those around me when he meets someone new. Unfortunately he is very skiddish around new people if he gets loose. One day he got out and when a neighbor was pushing him, to get him out of the street - he bit her, not too bad but she pulled her hand away and made it worse. I had to quarantine him for 10 days because of this. I have a 9 month old, 4 year old and 2 older kids the dog plays with all the time. He is a really good dog but loves the challenge of getting out, tendency I guess of his breed. Canfel Care was the best pricing for Quarantine I found in the Houston area and it seems you get what you pay for there. When we came back to pick him up it looked like he was sitting in his Kennel full of pee for the 10 days he was there. When we got him home I let him in the backyard to go pee before we bathed him and he ran strait to the food bowl and water bowl. So I have no idea how much they even fed him or walked him when he was there. I just couldn't believe it. My dog is kennel trained when it is time to go to sleep, he doesn't even want to get close to his kennel now. The main vet was very nice so I don't know if it was him or just his staff that neglected my dog; but I just wanted to make sure you know what happened to my dog before deciding to go to this place, where you have to leave your pet overnight for a day for few days...

This is a great clinic! Super clean. Staff is nice. The Vet is such a nice and gentle man with pets as well as people.

I have taken all of my dogs and my cat here. My children have also taken all 3 of their dogs and their ferret to Canfel as well. I worked at another vet for 11 years. When they closed, I went to straight to Canfel. I also recommended Canfel to all of my clients and friends, most of which still go there (unless moving further out), even though it is sometimes 10-20 miles further from home. It's called trust, compassion, knowledge, empathy and diagnostics. In my opinion, in that order, the 5 things a vet and their staff needs more than anything else. I too, have been coming here over a decade. I drive 15+ miles (on the WRETCHED 290 freeway, during A.M. rush hour to drop off and P.M rush hour to pick up) just to take all of my fur babies here because I LOVE and TRUST Dr. Wainwright, I love and trust the staff, and most of all because I LOVE MY PETS! I have a 17 (seventeen!!) year old Chihuahua, with kidney disease, I still let them put under anesthesia for dental work. THAT'S TRUST! She is healthy as an ox because I have always complied with all treatments and recommendations by Dr. W! I HIGHLY recommend and urge you to go to Canfel, and recommend everyone you know with a furbaby of any breed or species! Read Less

I have taken my pets to Dr. Wainwright for years and have always had great service. However, it wasn't until I found a small, white dog and took him to their office when I realized how much they truly care for animals and their well being. This little dog had an unregistered chip and the staff was very diligent in finding out who the original owner was. Paige called the county and was very patient and persistent until the previous owner was located. Paige was able to contact the former owner and was non -judgmental as she was only interested in finding out as much information as she could on the little lost dog. They even boarded the little lost dog for the evening. Dr. Wainwright and his staff are truly compassionate about pets and makes us feel like we are more than just a "client". I highly recommend this office for all your pet needs! Read Less

Rescue Discount is great.I'm new to Houston and we needed to find a vet for our little ones (pups that we had rescued)On the weekdays, the service is great, they will see you on time and will get you in and out in a timely manner. When it comes to the weekends, it's a very different story. I had to schedule my pup in on a Saturday and we weren't seen until an hour later. The main vet there is very knowledgable and straight forward, but you can tell he needs a vacation. We will continue going to this vet only because we were referred by a family friend. Read Less

I have always received fine care and treatment for my dogs at Canfel Care.

STOP!!! Read this first: my puppy has died bc this clinic did misdiagnosed my baby boy! Here is my experience! I strongly suggest do not take your dog/ cat there, poor care and poor veterinarian. We got a puppy, the next day we took him there for check up and deworming if he has any. Puppy had diarrhea for a few days. The vet said he is fine and gave him some deworming pills and vitamins. Two days later the puppy is throwing up and bad case diarrhea. We rushed into another clinic, the puppy was diagnoses with Parvo, the vet said that he had it for at least 5-6 days. How could they not find that he was sick??!! Also, the deworming did not work, he still has worms, so whatever they give him was crap! Bad vet + bad medicine, = bad clinic! Read Less

Canfel is a supporter of the rescue community and provides low cost spay/neuter, and for those reasons alone, they deserve 5 stars. In our experience with numerous dogs, the vet provides accurate diagnoses and seems to prescribe the correct medications. His spay/neuter is low priced compared to other vets. His heartworm treatment is a reasonable cost and he offers several options for treatment. He will perform minor orthopedic surgeries at a reasonable cost. His bedside manner is not chatty and the clinic is not fancy, but this is a good place for pet owners who understand it is most important to get good vet care and for those who appreciate a low cost.

They grabbed them by the back of the neck to drag them out of the carrier. They then proceeded to handle them really rough (they weigh 3 pounds) and they didn't even pet them or try to make them comfortable. I refuse to have my companions treated like garbage--let alone me.

This is the worse clinic I have ever been to. First off, the doctor is wellness mostly, good at surgeries, but don't give him a difficult case because he won't get it. I took my dog there and the first day he was there with vomiting, they didn't do any diagnostics (bloodwork, xrays). Yes, I understand some people can't afford to spend too much, but at least offer it. Anyway, long story short, I took him to another clinic because Dr refused to do radiographs (which they are capable of doing). The other Dr diagnosed him with an ailment that can be surgically corrected but he was too far gone to do the surgery by the next available appointment. We had him euthanized at another hospital that actually cared. Second, he's rude to SOME of his clients, especially the ones that hint what to do. Or some just because he doesn't like them. But he is nice to the ones that are women and are attractive ;). Third, he's inappropriate with his staff. There's 3 main girls there (maybe 2 now?), and there will be just 1 in a couple of weeks because of how he treats them. He cusses at them and yells at them in front of clients. He doesn't train them properly just so they will feel like that's the only job they'll be able to get. If you do know what you're doing, he'll make you feel like you don't. He's only nice to the employees who are attractive (only hires females)...and that's only for a little while. Once he knows you won't sleep with him (if you do, it will only delay his disrespectful attitude a few months), he won't be so nice. His pay is not good and neither are his raises. Being a veterinary assistant there is more like being a kennel technician and you don't get any benefits (never going to happen). In conclusion, Canfel Care Animal Hospital is not a good hospital to be at whether you're a client, pet, or employee. Read Less

I just adopted a kitten, and I was having trouble choosing a vet in my neighborhood, since there were so many.

Dr. Wainwright did a great job explaining all the procedures and answering all our questions. I was very nervous with this appointment, since it was our first time with a vet, but the whole ordeal was just easy-breezy. The price range was very reasonable, and the office was clean.

I have taken my cat here twice. He's an indoor cat so he's pretty healthy in the first place. The first time, he was neutered, and that all went well. The second time, I got some drops for a skin problem he was having. Both times, they have called afterwards to check on my cat to see how he's doing, which I think is great! I have also had to call them other times to ask questions when I was concerned about my cat and they gave me helpful answers without requiring me to bring him in, which I loved.Everyone here has been very sweet and friendly and I don't have any complaints. I will definitely take my cat here for any future woes and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a veterinary clinic. Read Less
