Dr. B is the best. He really cares about his furry 4 legged patients. He educates you on how to protect and care for your pets. Shout out to his awesome staff too. They get a lot of great reviews and the word has spread. They get busy so call. Read Less

We have taken several pets here for care and the Vets are the absolute best.  It is an older building as it was a vet clinic when I first started teaching in Edgewood ISD in 1973.  The care and concern of the staff cannot be beat.  We may have to drive a little--but we will continue to come here.  The doctors were very concerned even for my hubs. when he had to make a difficult decision without me.

It has been over a year since I wrote the review below, I am happy to report that nothing has changed! Prices are still reasonable (which is extremely helpful!) and the vets and staff are still kind and caring! WTG Blue Cross Pet Clinic! One of our community cats showed up with an abscess right by the corner of his eyeball which had started draining. The San Antonio Feral Cat Coalition recommended them to me in order to fix this issue. I called and they told me bring him in between the hours of 8:00am to 11 or 12 to 3. This was extremely convenient for me since I lived so far away and traffic was unpredictable. I saw the vet in a timely manner, he was very nice to the cat reaching for him in a non threatening manner and handling him very well. He was even able to shave the area around the infection and applied ointment for the trip home. He informed me of the cost of everything he was going to do BEFORE he did it and even said, "I'm going to add the eye ointment to the receipt, if that's ok, because if you live so far away I would hate for you to need it and have to spend $20 in gas just to come pick some up." He waited for me to say yes or no (I said yes) before adding it. You can really sense the care and compassion these people have for furry critters! THANK YOU to all at Blue Cross Pet Clinic! You have made my first experience a first of many in the future! Read Less

Started taking my pup here when I first got her 6 years ago and haven't stopped. At first glance the clinic is on the older side but whatever they lack in appearance they sure make up for in love and care for all pets. The vets are so sweet and understanding and the prices CANNOT be beat! Love this place and will continue to refer it to every fur baby owner that I know. It is worth the drive you have to make and their service is timely. Do you AND YOUR PET a favor and give this place a chance. You will not be disappointed! Best wishes from this dog owner and her pup, Zoe. Read Less

Dr. B is the BEST in SA! He is awesome, he keeps prices reasonable and knows his stuff inside and out. He is like very few vets in SA: He has very very experienced with a wide variety of animal health issues so he can diagnose faster typically, he keeps his prices more reasonable than any vet I know, and if he can't do something, he will tell you and refer you. One of the best finds in SA. It may not be close to where you live, but its worth the drive for the peace of mind that Dr. B will see your pet. I always call and see if Dr. B is in before I go. They don't take appointments, so get there early , or try to go in on weekdays when Dr. B is there. Read Less

I have to say this is the best vet I have ever been to. Took my Rocky in because he was very ill. Everyone was nice and understanding how hard it was to put our baby down. Words can't explain how much love I felt the veterinarian had she explained everything to us and answered all our questions. Read Less

Dr. Beissner and his staff are professional and caring. He took care of my Dottie as a pup when she got over parvo with his treatment. 6 1/2 years later her little body started to fail . He gave me kind words about her before she passed. He is up front and understanding. Great team. Read Less

Dr. B and his staff provide a very high standard of care at affordable, no, VERY affordable rates.  They don't take appointments, first come first serve.  They won't upcharge you, instead first trying the most effective and affordable solutions for your pets.  I trust them with our family's 5 pets.

I felt compelled to write a review on here, because I used these reviews to choose this place. My cat got sick with urinary issues. I went in having a pretty good idea what it was, because he had a similar problem a few years back. I explained what I thought it was, and the vet didn't hesitate to believe me, performed the quick procedure needed, and offered to do tests, but in no way pushed the issue. This place was amazing! Took my cat home, and he was all cleared up! There was tons of regulars there as well, and people were all genuinely happy with the care. Everyone was polite, helpful, and welcoming. It's always great when a vet experience goes well, especially when you're using online reviews to choose it, and the reviews turn out right. Also, THE PRICES WERE VERY AFFORDABLE!!! Can't stress that enough, this was one of the reasons I chose the place, that and the positive experiences. My cat has a new permanent vet clinic, totally satisfied! Read Less

Dr. Beissner is a true God sent angel! He genuinely cares about animals. He did not try to drain us of all the money we had nor did he try to pressure us into applying for petcare credit like other veterinarians did that we tried before. I will never take my pets anywhere else!! Thank God we found his clinic.Read Less

Thanks you for the wonderful Staff and the Doctor was the most wonderful vet ever. He made me feel so much understanding . I thank him so much I had to put my baby boy to rest he was 19 years old and hurting it was the hardest thing to have done but thanks to the kindest of the doc and staff it made it a little less painful Read Less

From the start the staff was very friendly, the tech was extremely gentle and friendly with my kitties, helping to calm their anxiety. Then Dr. B was thoroughly informative and didn't come off as a salesman whatsoever like some of the other places I've been to. He helped me diagnose my 2 male cats itching problems (mites) very quickly as well. Barely a couple hours later, I'd received a call about the neuters being very smooth with no complications, which was very consoling. I was then able to pick them up at a time convenient for me, very quickly, with once again a very informative and friendly staff. I will definitely be going back to this clinic in the future and recommending it to everyone I know. Read Less

I took my pup in to the office today due to a very bad infection from being bit or scratched by something. From the time that I got there speaking to the front desk to speaking with the Vet techs to speaking to the Vet him self everyone was so kind, attentive and understanding of my concerns. From this day forward this is going to be my go to Veterinary clinic!!Larry H. Moreno Read Less

We spoke with Dr.Fritz. She was an amazing person. Great personality. We actually had a conversation unlike Beckers Animal Hospital were they treated us like a number. They actually care about your pets, there fees are low, and prescriptions are also low in cost as well. Which was a big plus. I've have been to several vet clinics and walk out literally spending hundreds of dollars for two prescriptions and today I spent under $150 for same prescription and more!! Thank you so much Dr. Fritz for everything. We will be returning! Now my son is one happy pet! Warm Regards, Marc, Liz and Ted! Read Less

It's busy but I don't mind waiting. The vets and staff honestly seem to care about my dogs and me as the owner. They take time to explain to me any questions I may have. I live at Nacogdoches and Loop 1604 and drive all the way across town so my dogs can have the best care ever. The prices are affordable and I don't feel like I'm being over charged for the services they offer. Dr Mark saved my rescue chihuahua from being malnutrition and heart worm disease. Forever grateful to him! Read Less

Best fur baby hospital ever! Very caring and understanding staff. From the lovely ladies in the front, to the staff in the back. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! I promise you'll love it!Read Less

Ok, if you have dogs you know how important it is to have a vet you can trust and this place is the BEST!!!!!! They have really fair pricing and the ladies behind the counter are really nice and will do anything to help you. We've had dogs for years and have tried a number of pet clinics and this one is the one we are staying with. Walk-ins are always welcome and the vets will always tell it to you straight. Read Less

I've been taking my animals to Dr. Beissner for 7 years,being from the neighborhood. Very reasonable, Seems as time goes on, the Dr. isn't quite as friendly or attentive/sympathetic. I feel rushed when asking him questions, just today I took my fat cat in because he had been sneezing a lot. The Dr. came in, and my cat freaks out, he does not like the Dr. The cat was very stressed, and the Dr didn't care about calming him down. My Kitty's temp is not taken, but the Dr goes and gets an injectible antibiotic, starts to put it in kittys hip, cat jumps and hisses, makes the Dr jump, he tries to inject again, same thing happens, and he sternly says "put him up (back in carrier)", and we were done....? I asked the Dr if he got all the medicine in the cat, he says yes. He didn't tell me the shot was $55, I feel he should have discussed the price, and I think most of it went on his fur, it was wet by injection site. He seemed really short and impatient. I've spent over $1000 over 7 years, but still feel like a stranger in there. I think I'll be looking for a different vet, someone that cares for my cats like their own, with a pleasant demeanor, and doesn't make me feel like I'm bothering them.. Read Less

Yes, a I thought the same things of Dr. Beisnner. But today I had the most traumatizing experience in his clinic. He just was another man, maybe it wasn?t his day, but that wasn?t my fault or my pet?s. I had to take my beloved best friend and faithful companion to sleep, and was the most traumatic experience that she and I had. To start, he wanted me to get out of the room and leave him do the work with my cat. Of course not! I was there to be with her in her last moments. And he wanted me to leave. Then he began to give her the sedative in the cruelest way, with him and his assistant holding her like if she was a lion, my cat was very upset meowing horrible. I had to turn on my back, cover my ears and not see it. Then he told me that's why I should leave, I asked him if there is a better, not so hard way to give her the sedative. He said that would be with gas, but that he had to take her inside and that would take 20 mins. I told him no problem, he took her inside and in less than 5 minutes came back with my girl relaxed and calmed. Then he says is already relaxed, and then right away he grabbed the last shot to give it to her, she was still conscious, was moving her eyes and blinking, but quiet and defenseless. I asked him if he wasn?t going to give her more time for the sedative to work, make her sleepier, he said no she?s already relaxed. I told him: ?well can you give me a few minutes with her before giving her the shot?? What I wanted was to give more time to the sedative to work, to see her sleepier, and of course talk to her before she would be dead. He just looked at me like saying, ?this woman asks too much? and with a despotic attitude and like in a hurry, he said: Ok. So he went inside and in less than 2 minutes comes back and says, ready? I just hated him. I would never go back to that place. I told him ok. After he gave her the shot I asked him if we could stay with her for a few minutes to say bye. Of course with his attitude said ok. They went inside and in less than 2-3 mins the assistant comes asking if that was enough. I know when they took her inside to give her the gas, they didn?t do it, they gave her that traumatizing sedative injection, that made her very upset, they lied and didn?t put the gas, because he himself told me the gas will take like 20 minutes, and he returned in less than 5 minutes. Furthermore, his attitude was all the time cold, despot, insensitive, inhuman, and in such a hurry, as if they don?t understand the pain of the people who are losing a pet who was considered a very meaningful part of the family. Yes, it was lunch time and I think that's why he was in such a hurry, but why he doesn?t schedule these things for a better time?, if he knows for these things the family needs to take their time to say goodbye to their beloved pet . I feel so bad that my baby had to die in such a traumatizing way, I felt guilty because now I thought that I should have looked in different vets and ask about how do they do that process, to me is important to find good human and sensitive doctors who are able to put themselves in the other?s shoes. Dr. Beissner, you are an inhuman butcher, and I will never stop by your butcher. Read Less

I took my dog into this clinic about 21 hours after getting hit by a car...he was behaving normally but got hit very hard and I was worried about internal bleeding. The doctor was direct, professional, responsive to all my questions, and informative. The price was extremely reasonable despite the fact that I would have paid all I had to keep my dog alive. Not exactly the most gorgeous facilities, but I'll take a no nonsense professional any day of the week over a fancy building. Thanks BCPC. Read Less

IT HAS BEEN 1 YR SINCE I FIRST UTILIZED THE SVCES @ BLUE CROSS. I CAN STILL RECALL THE COMPASSION OF ALL INVOLVED NWITH THE VISIT. I MUST SEEK THERE ASSISTANCE TOMOROW,SINCE I HAVE A FERAL CAT THAT SEEMS WAS HIT BY A CAR, WHAT I TRUST IS, THAT BLUE CROSS IS NOT IN EXISTANCE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THERE CUSTOMERS. THE RATES FOR SERVICES ARE QUITE REASONABLE. KUDOS TO BUE CROSS AND STAFF. MAY JEHOVAH CONTINUE BLESSING THOSE THAT WORK THEIR. Read Less

I loved this veterinary clinic. The doctors are wonderful and the care they give you is outstanding. They take the time to speak with you and give you frank answers. We adopted a small kitten from the pound who had been injured and instead of spending more money to X-ray the problem because it had already healed, they told us how to exercise her in order to build up the muscle in the leg. We have moved back to Austin and will miss this practice. Read Less

My Beloved Dear Sweet Precious Friend and Roommate, Jewel: You know how many vets in town I called and interview (even TX A&M cutting-edge techno-special by Referral Only, Feline Internal Medical Teaching Hospital) and all the other fancy-schmacy animal hospitals, botique-clinics, with guru-specialists and all their techno-babble and the options not being in our/your favor and costing like the Mayo Clinic. Atfer of all that, you and I agree and wanted only Dr Beissner to take you to a better place without any pain and suffering. You knew that Dr. Beissner was our Best Choice from the Beginning! You just wanted me to figure it out the hard way, by deductive reasoning thru process of elimination and all those stoopid human tricks. I and My Dear Sweet Precious Friend, Jewel want everyone to know that Dr. Beissner is the BEST VET in all my years (50+) being some animal's pet! I am their pet, that's right! Dr. Beissner, THANK YOU and YOUR STAFF for being Honest, Professional without all the techno-babble, Sincerely Compassionate, and Generously Reasonable! You are a Gentleman and a Scholar! G-D BLESS YOU & YOURS! Respectfully submitted, My Beloved Dear Sweet Precious Friend, Jewel and her human pet, TDWUSA. Read Less

Dr. Beissner provided much needed support for our beloved pet Pepper when she needed it most. He was gentle with her during her appointments and he was kind enough to field our questions about her medical condition offering various options to consider for treatment. With each of our office visits, Dr. B and his office staff have always been observed demonstrating kindness, compassion, and quality care to all the furry patients and ?patience? with us pet owners who fret over our loved ones. This is why we have been bringing our pets to Blue Cross Pet Clinic for the past 12 years. God Bless Dr. B and his Team! :o) Read Less

I have been taking my dogs and cats to Blue Cross Animal Hospital for over 20 years. They always treat you professionally and your pet with the respect and tenderness you expect. Unilke some other Vets I've seen, they don't try to unnecessarily up-sell you on medicines and products you don't need. I highly recommend the Blue Cross Animal Hospital to care for your pets.
