I just got to San Antonio and my dog got some sort of infection on his face. So I called, as an unestablished client, and was able to get an appointment that very same day! Everyone at the clinic was so sweet and efficient. The Vet tech and DVM were so thorough. I brought him in because there was some discharge but it wasn’t obvious where it was coming from. The DVM was so thorough in her physical exam, ruling out some more worrisome issues first (also was kind enough to evaluate a previous diagnosis). Prior to any treatment the tech makes sure you know the cost of each step and verifies that you are comfortable going forward with that treatment so there is no surprise when you go to check out and get the bill. I feel quite relieved that this was the clinic I stumbled upon. I will definitely return if I need any further vet care during my time stationed in the area.

I have been going to this office since it was run by the original owners. Unfortunately, this time that my family dealt and trusted our newest youngest member Chiquita to your care was a choice that I will live with forever. I trusted my baby in your care and believed in my heart that I was making the right decision when I took her there for her shots and new puppy checkup. I had an experience that I have shared with your staff as well as other doctors and locations when I was on a search to help Chiquita. I am sharing this to bring awareness to owners as myself. She was not given all the shots needed at her first new puppy check up and then taken to the back where sick animals are . I spent so much money and then in the end I had to put my baby to sleep at the Angel of Mercy Hospital because of the inconsiderate people who work under the doctors that I have trusted so much. Excuse after excuse and in the end I failed my baby by putting my trust in this office. I wouldn't say that they don't care about any animals, because I have trusted them before however I would say that they need to change their policy and not take puppies to the back and then give them the shots that they need. I'm not a vet so when I paid over 221$ how was I suppose to know she didn't get the distemper shot. When I questioned her after Chiquita was put to sleep they tried to say that I declined this one shot. Wow speechless, seriously. Blame was quickly shifted to the breeder and I had to redirect them to all the things that the office did wrong. I will not make the same mistake again and its unfortunate that Dr Michelle who cares so much has a staff that represents her.

Dr. Michelle recently treated my baby boy, Shyama, for a blockage caused by Idiopathic Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. Sadly, my boy's disease flared up again within 3 weeks. I could not afford the needed treatment and I was forced to make the painful decision to send my boy to The Bridge. Dr Michelle was professional, compassionate, and so kind in her administration of euthanasia. She explained every step of the procedure and even held my baby's paw as he passed beyond. The room was comfortable and my boy purred until his last heartbeat. I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful procedure for Shyama. I will always be grateful to Dr. Michelle and her staff for making a terribly painful decision less so with their sincerity and delicacy. They are true angels on Earth.

Dr. Wright is an amazing vet. She is smart, knows the latest medical research, and empathetic. The office is welcoming and orderly. They get you into a room pretty quickly so no long waits with barking or distressed animals. This means a lot to me with nervous, elderly cats. Thanks for everything!

I have two dogs and a cat and they are very important as part of our family. The staff at Great Northwest Animal Hospital knows how much our pets mean to us. The concern that they have shown for the health of our pets has been fantastic. When we walk in they know each of my pets by name and I can tell that they sincerely care for them. The staff at the GNWAH has gotten each of my pets through some critical illness. Doctors Balzam and Johnson have brought one of my dogs from near death after she became sick from renal failure following a lumpectomy surgery. The staff is very kind in handling my geriatric cat and they have been extraordinary for my other dog's dental surgery when his tooth became infected. We also trust them to board our dogs while we are away on vacation. We had originally gone to another veterinarian to begin with and have found that the fees from GNWAH to reasonable for the services. Overall, my wife and I are very pleased with the Great Northwest Animal Hospital.

My husband and I have been taking our pets to Great Northwest since 2001. We began with a cat that lived to be 19 years old. She was given the best of care up until the end. The vet and the technicians cried along with me when she died.
Our dog now receives the greatest of care. Every time we take her, we are warmly greeted and the staff is honestly happy to see her.
It doesn't matter which vet she sees, she gets wonderful care and the doctors are more than willing to take time to answer our questions and concerns.
To us, there is no better place to take a pet for care or boarding.

I started with one cat that I rescued from the street and my brother took me to another animal hospital. I went to this other animal hospital one more time after the first visit and was not impressed with them at all and I felt that my cat was not happy either. A goof friend of mine recommended Great Northwest Animal Hospital (GNWAH)as she used the hospital when her dog was alive. I was very happy and felt the warmth and care from GNWAH. I now have two cats that have been going to GNWAH since I adopted them. Another friend got a dog and I recommended that she take the dog to GNWAH. She eventually moved to Hawaii and left her dog here with a family member and all three animals still go to GNWAH to this day. I could not imagine taking them anywhere else! They not only receive the best treatment, but they are treated like family whenever they arrive. The staff know all of my fur babies by name and continue to care and follow up on them after each visit.

My dog died there. He was part of my family. We went in and he was diagnosed with a kidney infection. Upon bringing him home his health declined, so we brought him 1st thing in the am. We were told he needed surgery and medication for him to be saved. $3,500 was a big decision for us financially. As we were trying to make a decision, we called and asked the vet if our dog was healthy enough to survive the surgery. He's said yes a 75 to 80% So we did it. I got a call 30 minutes later from the veterinarian saying the surgery went great! and mumbled but he stopped breathing and they are trying to do cpr. My heart sank and all I could think of was what about the 75% 80% chance and why are you calling so happy. I felt lied to, I would much rather him be honest about him might not making it. I felt surgery and suggested neuter was all about money. I would much rather my baby go in peace. please think twice about going here I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else!

They pressure you into getting things your pet doesnt need. They want you tobdobtwo welness exams a year, i dont even go to the dr thst much. I had been taking my pets here since ibwas a little girl. When ibasked the vet if she could write meba prescription for my dogs heartworm meds, i found it less expensive online, she said it would be $12. I couldnt believe she was going to charge me to write a prescription just because i wasnt purchasing the meds through them. Do yourself a favor and take your pets to affordable pet care down the road. Im glad i did.

I was referred here by a family member.now i know this is a vet office but there was dog pee in the middle of the floor in the lobby area.I did like the Vet,overall she is the reason that im giving 2 stars instead of 1 stars.what i absolutely did not like was how the redheaded male assistant smacked my dog in the nose for flinching or twitching when he got 3 back to back shots.I thought that was rudiculous and then he preceded to tell me that i should pick up that habit too of smacking his nose because of his behavior with nail clippers.on top of that they overcharge by $80-$200.why should 2 puppy booster shots cost $250 all together? I decided to go to ingram park animal hospital and am greatly satisfied with how they treated my dog and was more of a reasonable price compared to this place.do not take your dog here.i never write reviews but i felt this needed to be said

I love GNWAH!!! I went to them for 6 years, and only stopped because I moved 5 hours away. I always knew they were a wonderful hospital, but it really sank in once I had to find a new clinic in my new town.
GNWAH is CLEAN!
The staff is amazing, kind, friendly, and caring. I don't think that I've ever waited more than 10 minutes to be seen, and even then the staff would check on me and let me know that there was a hold up. There have been a few times that I had to take my dog in for non routine appointments, and they've always made a point to be able to get me in quickly.
Doctor Johnson is wonderful. He's very patient and well informed. Anytime I've ever had a question he has taken the time to not only answer it, but explain it in a way that I understand. He understands that our pet is a part of our family, and treats her accordingly. He even makes follow-up calls to check to see if she is okay a few days after her appointments, my son's pediatrician doesn't even do this!!!
I cannot say enough positive things about this vet hospital and wish that I still lived in San Antonio so I could continue to use them.

We picked up this hospital because it only 5mins driving from our house. The cost was alright but the staff I talked on phone before the first visit gave me the wrong information. Later I found out that it would cost us $86 more. Both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Meztler are great. They explained everything we needed and answered all the questions very patiently. We had our new kitten checked up, vaccined, neutered and declawed. Dr. Meztler called us everyday after the surgery to check on our kitten. Unfortunately our kitten got an infection on his claws we had to take him back to get him on antibiotics. I have a 3 years old and an infant. Every time I went there I was too hand-full to open the heavy door. The glass door is see through, the staffs can see exactly what we needed every time. But they NEVER came out to give us a hand. They just watched my little one struggled from trying to open that heavy door minutes and minutes. They love animals so bad that the human beings just don't matter anymore?

Dr. Michelle recently treated my baby boy, Shyama, for a blockage caused by Idiopathic Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. Sadly, my boy's disease flared up again within 3 weeks. I could not afford the needed treatment and I was forced to make the painful decision to send my boy to The Bridge. Dr Michelle was professional, compassionate, and so kind in her administration of euthanasia. She explained every step of the procedure and even held my baby's paw as he passed beyond. The room was comfortable and my boy purred until his last heartbeat. I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful procedure for Shyama. I will always be grateful to Dr. Michelle and her staff for making a terribly painful decision less so with their sincerity and delicacy. They are true angels on Earth.

I have been bringing my cats to GNWAH since 2014. Dr. Johnson was my Precious' favorite and she adores both Dr's. Wright. Both Dr. Travis and Dr. Michelle are highly skilled veterinarians whom I trust completely with the lives and health of my fur babies. I recommend them to EVERY pet parent.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Michele. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and goes out of her way to help us in a pinch. I drive past dozens of veterinary offices on my way to her but I won't trust my pets with anyone else.

Dr. Wright is an amazing vet. She is smart, knows the latest medical research, and empathetic. The office is welcoming and orderly. They get you into a room pretty quickly so no long waits with barking or distressed animals. This means a lot to me with nervous, elderly cats. Thanks for everything!

I have two dogs and a cat and they are very important as part of our family. The staff at Great Northwest Animal Hospital knows how much our pets mean to us. The concern that they have shown for the health of our pets has been fantastic. When we walk in they know each of my pets by name and I can tell that they sincerely care for them. The staff at the GNWAH has gotten each of my pets through some critical illness. Doctors Balzam and Johnson have brought one of my dogs from near death after she became sick from renal failure following a lumpectomy surgery. The staff is very kind in handling my geriatric cat and they have been extraordinary for my other dog's dental surgery when his tooth became infected. We also trust them to board our dogs while we are away on vacation. We had originally gone to another veterinarian to begin with and have found that the fees from GNWAH to reasonable for the services. Overall, my wife and I are very pleased with the Great Northwest Animal Hospital.

My husband and I have been taking our pets to Great Northwest since 2001. We began with a cat that lived to be 19 years old. She was given the best of care up until the end. The vet and the technicians cried along with me when she died.
Our dog now receives the greatest of care. Every time we take her, we are warmly greeted and the staff is honestly happy to see her.
It doesn't matter which vet she sees, she gets wonderful care and the doctors are more than willing to take time to answer our questions and concerns.
To us, there is no better place to take a pet for care or boarding.

I started with one cat that I rescued from the street and my brother took me to another animal hospital. I went to this other animal hospital one more time after the first visit and was not impressed with them at all and I felt that my cat was not happy either. A goof friend of mine recommended Great Northwest Animal Hospital (GNWAH)as she used the hospital when her dog was alive. I was very happy and felt the warmth and care from GNWAH. I now have two cats that have been going to GNWAH since I adopted them. Another friend got a dog and I recommended that she take the dog to GNWAH. She eventually moved to Hawaii and left her dog here with a family member and all three animals still go to GNWAH to this day. I could not imagine taking them anywhere else! They not only receive the best treatment, but they are treated like family whenever they arrive. The staff know all of my fur babies by name and continue to care and follow up on them after each visit.

My dog died there. He was part of my family. We went in and he was diagnosed with a kidney infection. Upon bringing him home his health declined, so we brought him 1st thing in the am. We were told he needed surgery and medication for him to be saved. $3,500 was a big decision for us financially. As we were trying to make a decision, we called and asked the vet if our dog was healthy enough to survive the surgery. He's said yes a 75 to 80% So we did it. I got a call 30 minutes later from the veterinarian saying the surgery went great! and mumbled but he stopped breathing and they are trying to do cpr. My heart sank and all I could think of was what about the 75% 80% chance and why are you calling so happy. I felt lied to, I would much rather him be honest about him might not making it. I felt surgery and suggested neuter was all about money. I would much rather my baby go in peace. please think twice about going here I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else!

They pressure you into getting things your pet doesnt need. They want you tobdobtwo welness exams a year, i dont even go to the dr thst much. I had been taking my pets here since ibwas a little girl. When ibasked the vet if she could write meba prescription for my dogs heartworm meds, i found it less expensive online, she said it would be $12. I couldnt believe she was going to charge me to write a prescription just because i wasnt purchasing the meds through them. Do yourself a favor and take your pets to affordable pet care down the road. Im glad i did.

I was referred here by a family member.now i know this is a vet office but there was dog pee in the middle of the floor in the lobby area.I did like the Vet,overall she is the reason that im giving 2 stars instead of 1 stars.what i absolutely did not like was how the redheaded male assistant smacked my dog in the nose for flinching or twitching when he got 3 back to back shots.I thought that was rudiculous and then he preceded to tell me that i should pick up that habit too of smacking his nose because of his behavior with nail clippers.on top of that they overcharge by $80-$200.why should 2 puppy booster shots cost $250 all together? I decided to go to ingram park animal hospital and am greatly satisfied with how they treated my dog and was more of a reasonable price compared to this place.do not take your dog here.i never write reviews but i felt this needed to be said

I love GNWAH!!! I went to them for 6 years, and only stopped because I moved 5 hours away. I always knew they were a wonderful hospital, but it really sank in once I had to find a new clinic in my new town.
GNWAH is CLEAN!
The staff is amazing, kind, friendly, and caring. I don't think that I've ever waited more than 10 minutes to be seen, and even then the staff would check on me and let me know that there was a hold up. There have been a few times that I had to take my dog in for non routine appointments, and they've always made a point to be able to get me in quickly.
Doctor Johnson is wonderful. He's very patient and well informed. Anytime I've ever had a question he has taken the time to not only answer it, but explain it in a way that I understand. He understands that our pet is a part of our family, and treats her accordingly. He even makes follow-up calls to check to see if she is okay a few days after her appointments, my son's pediatrician doesn't even do this!!!
I cannot say enough positive things about this vet hospital and wish that I still lived in San Antonio so I could continue to use them.

We picked up this hospital because it only 5mins driving from our house. The cost was alright but the staff I talked on phone before the first visit gave me the wrong information. Later I found out that it would cost us $86 more. Both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Meztler are great. They explained everything we needed and answered all the questions very patiently. We had our new kitten checked up, vaccined, neutered and declawed. Dr. Meztler called us everyday after the surgery to check on our kitten. Unfortunately our kitten got an infection on his claws we had to take him back to get him on antibiotics. I have a 3 years old and an infant. Every time I went there I was too hand-full to open the heavy door. The glass door is see through, the staffs can see exactly what we needed every time. But they NEVER came out to give us a hand. They just watched my little one struggled from trying to open that heavy door minutes and minutes. They love animals so bad that the human beings just don't matter anymore?

I just finished up at the Great Northwest Animal Hospital! They were amazing! This is our first puppy, and every question I had was answered to my satisfaction. Dr. Johnson was very kind and explained the visit so that I would be fully educated on my puppy's health. I would tell anyone to take their pets there! The prices were reasonable and the staff was awesome!

Dr. Johnson and his staff are absolutely wonderful! I wouldn't trust my animals' health or lives with any other veterinarian in the San Antonio area! I moved away from San Antonio for approximately 5 years and WISHED I had Dr. Johnson and his staff caring for my animals. Now that we are back, there was no other vet I would've contacted to take care of my animals. Highly recommended.

I just moved down here and needed to find a vet for my kittens. Dr. Vaught is the most caring vet I have ever met -- she is very patient with silly questions and actually calls the day after a visit to follow up!! We actually had an emergency one night and we called the emergency number and she called back immediately! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Vaught and the entire staff at Great Northwest!
