I'd like to give a HUGE 5 STAR rating to all of my clients over the past 3 years. I have enjoyed working for you all immensely. I've been honored with kind words, trust, and loyalty from so many of you. From meeting your new puppies and kittens to guiding many of you through difficult decisions about quality of life you have placed your pets live in my hands. My time with Comal has come to an end. I've enjoyed the experience. I know that the hospital is set for a major overhaul with the new building on the horizon, and am a little saddened that I won't be part of the growth but the time has come for me to move forward with the next chapter of my career. I wish Comal the best of luck for it's future and am sure that it will continue serve with compassion and integrity. Read Less

Last Thursday our little dog died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I rushed her to comal after calling at almost closing time. She collapsed at around 5pm. We arrived around 5:15. They immediately brought us to the back, Dr McBride let us know she was gone. He has seen both of my dogs for a while now and has been great with our dogs. But Thursday his compassion really meant a lot to us.  Even though it was close to closing time we never felt rushed in any way, he let us know we could stay as long  as we wanted to decide what we needed to do with our doggie. Leave her there or take her home were  our options. We brought her home. If you need a vet don't hesitate to make Comal your vet, you won't be sorry Read Less

I could not be more impressed. My 6 month old dummydoodle ate the end of a plug while I was at work and as a new dog owner I was completely freaking out. When I first went in Dr. McBride was so amazing making sure any questions I had were answered and left me with his card and let me know if I ever had any worries or questions when the office was closed to just email him. Fast forward to today's freak out, I remembered his card and emailed him and got a response almost immediately! He calmed me down in just one email and has been nothing but amazing every time me and phoebe (dummydoodles real name) come in! Seriously you are in the best hands taking your fur babies to Dr. McBride! Worth every penny and any drive! Read Less

The whole staff & Dr McBride are the best. They truly care about animals and their owners  they explain the procedures and cost in details and take their time without rushing thru everything. I absolutely love them. My Rottweiler had knee surgery last year & and fell sick just the other day. I took him in and he had to stay for 2 days. He is my support dog and I'm very stressed without him so much so that I couldn't  leave him the first day. So I stayed and they let me go back with him as much as I wanted!!!  My boy loves the staff & especially Morgan. I am so thankful to have such great people taking care of my boy. God bless all of you Read Less

We are winter Texans so we only use Comal when we are here. Previously we've had no complaint, but this year is different. Since most of my pet's shots and tests are done at home in Wisconsin, we don't have much contact with them here. When we came into the clinic to update my pet's records, the receptionist said she didn't know how to do it. So she scanned the documents and attached them to his record, but we get continual emails stating our pet needs more shots and tests. It is annoying! We've had this done in the last two months and they won't update the records. I asked the receptionist to check and see if he needed the additional flu vaccine and she said she would check with our vet at home and get back to us. That was about the 4th of January and we've never heard from her again, but the records we have were sufficient for the doggie day care. I would caution you: If you don't use them for total care, don't bother! Read Less

I have to say 1st of all - everyone there - especially the support staff is extremely polite & efficient. The service they provided for my two pets was great also. Why give it 3 stars then, in 3 visits within a 6 week period & 1 of those visits was just to get their booster shots - the other 2 were with consults, even with the consults the Dr. stepped in for maybe a total of 3 to 4 minutes at the most. My other issue is the amount charged - we paid nearly 850.00 dollars between the 3 visits. We have other pets but won't take them there because of these 2 reasons. My pets were not very ill when we took them in. If you have money to burn then by all means take them there if not call around & get prices before you go. Read Less

I took my dog in for a small growth on her toe. She gets these growths now and then and when I lived in Colorado, I always paid $20 (in addition to the visit) for a local anesthesia,cut off the growth, and a little stiptic to stop any bleeding. I asked the vet if she would do this. She said, "No" and she wanted to put the dog under general anesthesia and put her in a cone collar to keep her from licking it. I reluctantly agreed to the local because she refused to remove the growth otherwise. So, I asked if we could just bandage the wound and forget the cone. The vet said "No." The cost for this was $170. After surgery, my dog was given pretty strong pain meds for 3 or 4 days and a strict schedule of when to give them. She pretty much just slept while she was on the pain meds. The same day when the pain meds ran out, I noticed that my dog started to lick her foot despite the cone. It was at night and their office was closed, so I used the "contact us" form on the vet's web site and asked someone to call me about it if they thought it was a problem. I never heard from the vet, so I assumed it was OK. Whenever I was awake and she started to lick her foot, I would tell her No and she would stop, but I couldn't watch her while I was sleeping. Not only did the cone not stop my dog from licking her foot, but because of the cone, she developed a quarter sized ulcer on her neck surrounded up a large 5 inch in diameter raw place (which I did not see because I was told not to remove the cone) plus a deep silver-dollar sized ulcer under her chin. (I also did not see this because of the cone.) When I removed the cone the evening of the 10th day after surgery, I noticed the icky wet ulcers on her and took her to the vet the next day. The vet charged me $80 to shave the fur off of her neck and chin, prescriptions for antibiotics and steroids,and to bandage up the foot because it wasn't healing fast enough because the dog was licking it. Does this sound familiar? I had asked the vet if we could just bandage it in the first place. When I got home, I put a sock on her leg and taped it up high on her leg so she would not get it off. I checked and redressed the wound every 3 days, but basically kept the sock on for 2 weeks. Her ulcers scabbed up and eventually the scabs fell off. My problem with this vet is that she didn't listen to me about my dog and decided it was her way or the highway. Then when that didn't work, she didn't take responsibility for the problems that occured and charged me to fix her mistakes. While I don't think the amounts she charged were unfair for what she did, she probably shouldn't have charged me at all for everything she had to do on the 2nd visit. In fact, she should have tried the "snip it and bandage it" method first since I had told her that it had been done in the past and had always had 100% success. She couldn't have known the ulcers would have occurred, but when they did and she knew I had asked for bandaging instead of the cone, she shouldn't have charged me to undo the damage she did and then in the end do it (successfully) the way I had asked her to, to begin with. btw, I am a retired RN and know a bit about changing dressings and told her I could do it.

I never heard from the vet, so I assumed it was OK. Whenever I was awake and she started to lick her foot, I would tell her No and she would stop, but I couldn't watch her while I was sleeping. Not only did the cone not stop my dog from licking her foot, but because of the cone, she developed a quarter sized ulcer on her neck surrounded up a large 5 inch in diameter raw place (which I did not see because I was told not to remove the cone) plus a deep silver-dollar sized ulcer under her chin. (I also did not see this because of the cone.) When I removed the cone the evening of the 10th day after surgery, I noticed the icky wet ulcers on her and took her to the vet the next day. The vet charged me $80 to shave the fur off of her neck and chin, prescriptions for antibiotics and steroids,and to bandage up the foot because it wasn't healing fast enough because the dog was licking it. Does this sound familiar? I had asked the vet if we could just bandage it in the first place. When I got home, I put a sock on her leg and taped it up high on her leg so she would not get it off. I checked and redressed the wound every 3 days, but basically kept the sock on for 2 weeks. Her ulcers scabbed up and eventually the scabs fell off. My problem with this vet is that she didn't listen to me about my dog and decided it was her way or the highway. Then when that didn't work, she didn't take responsibility for the problems that occured and charged me to fix her mistakes. While I don't think the amounts she charged were unfair for what she did, she probably shouldn't have charged me at all for everything she had to do on the 2nd visit. In fact, she should have tried the "snip it and bandage it" method first since I had told her that it had been done in the past and had always had 100% success. She couldn't have known the ulcers would have occurred, but when they did and she knew I had asked for bandaging instead of the cone, she shouldn't have charged me to undo the damage she did and then in the end do it (successfully) the way I had asked her to, to begin with. btw, I am a retired RN and know a bit about changing dressings and told her I could do it.

Everything about my visit was better than anything I could have hoped for. My search for a wonderful vet practice is finally over.
