I have never felt so comfortable at a vet before--Dr. McCoy explained every single step of my pup Louie's procedure, and they called me with the most detailed report I've ever heard and/or seen. Amy has been an incredible asset every step of the way. Thank you for taking care of my baby--I only wish you guys were a regular vet, I'd take our pups to you ALWAYS!! Read Less

Saw someone else's negative review was because they pulled a dog's teeth because they were too decayed to be saved. This review called the place heartless. Wow. You know what is heartless? Caring so little about your dog that all of its teeth are rotting out of its mouth. I haven't ever even been to this clinic, but I'm giving 5 stars to balance out the nonsense below. Just wow.

I am totally without words for the indebtedness that I have for Dr. McCoy and his staff, toward the treatment of my Bichon Frise - who had stage 4 periodontal disease.Kudos to the clinic for treating both my baby and me with the utmost respect and professionalism!I'm so happy there are people on this earth like Dr. McCoy and Staff (yay Amy and Erika!!).God Bless!

We had a great experience with this dental clinic and Dr. McCoy. The facility is clean and welcoming. The front desk administrator, Amy, was very friendly and helpful. Dr. McCoy spent a lot of time explaining all of the possibilities for our fur baby and made sure we felt comfortable with the procedure and decisions being made for our dog. My husband and I would highly recommend Dr. McCoy and this clinic for your pet. Read Less

We had a wonderful experience. Everyone was so compassionate and respectful of our input and ultimate decision. I would refer Dr. McCoy and his staff to anyone who is in need of a veterinary dentist. Dr. McCoy had great expertise and was honest and open about his findings. He also had a great "petside" manner. Although our circumstances were grim, we still left feeling grateful that we had obtained a comprehensive consult. Read Less

I cannot even begin to describe the level of kindness they showed me here! First off I have a pitbull and most people are very prejudice against them but they treated him with such loving attention that I wouldn't take him to any other dog dentist anywhere. Not to mention I told them that I had budgeted a certain amount and they worked with me so much on it, I am so grateful because I am a full time student and disabled vet. My dog is my whole world and they treated him like my family and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone! Dr. McCoy was very knowledgeable and talked me through everything they were going to do with him and what teeth might have to be pulled and they were very thorough with the home care as well. Thank you so much! Read Less

Dr. McCoy and his staff are as good as it gets!!!  We couldn't have been more satisfied with the care and treatment they provided to our "family member".  Dr. McCoy thoroughly explains procedures and encourages questions prior and post medical treatment.  It is evident they care about providing the best treatment and outcome for your pet.  Amy is wonderful!  She is in contact with you and makes herself available for any questions during and post treatment.  Just loved this facility!  Wouldn't trust anyone else with this type of treatment for my pet.  Linda and Grant Perry Read Less

I can't say enough about Dr. McCoy, Amy, and the rest of the staff at the Texas Veterinary Dental Center. They were absolutely wonderful. My dog, Zara, had to have some pretty extensive dental work done (including some sinus surgery). Dr. McCoy put us at ease with his knowledge, experience, and excellent bedside manner. Believe it or not, Zara was actually excited to go to her appointments and smother the staff members with kisses. I also need to mention how great Amy is.  She was so warm and welcoming and treated us like part of the family.  If you are looking for a vet dentist, Dr. McCoy is top-notch. Read Less

Staff and Dr. McCoy were very friendly.  However. Prices are outrageous! I got a quote to have 2 of my dogs teeth pulled- 1,800 to 2,100. The exam fee was $95 alone. I went to a veterinary hospital some where else and spent 22 bucks on the exam fee and got an estimate between 350-500 for the same 2 teeth to be pulled. Read Less

For those of you who rated low on prices alone you should be ashamed of yourselves. The low reviews are disingenuous at best.  If you both had checked Yelp you would have KNOWN that the practice had changed owners, and the prices had changed. The current staff there provides an outstanding service for the price. My best advice to you is don't go to a Mercedes Dealership if you want to buy a Chevrolet. Bottom line is if you don't use their service you have NO right to give any low ratings, and that goes for any business. Read Less

Prospective customers should know that this clinic is no longer operated by Vet (Dr. Donald L Ross) that prompted so many positive Yelp reviews in the past.PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MOST OF THE POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR THIS CLINIC ARE FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER! EVEN THE PHOTOS ARE NOT CURRENT! I am a longtime customer at this business. For years I took my dogs to Dr. Ross, an experienced Ex- Airforce DVM who received Dental credentials from UT Houston Dental School. My little guys received state-of-the-art care at reasonable rates....That was in the past. Dr. Ross is no longer at this clinic. He has retired after many years of wonderful practice. Best of Luck to him!Now the clinic is operated by a DVM who on the clinic website, claims that he spent "...several years obtaining advanced training in veterinary dentistry..." though he provides no details. He also cites membership in the "American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS)". an organization you or I can join, provided we pay the annual dues.I called to make an appointment today, and was informed that pricing had changed....Boy did they ever! They now have a rate scale of 1 to 4, where 1 (routine) starts at $800, and 4 (extraction etc) starts at $2000....Yes "starts" at $2000. An evaluation costs $90. So a prospective client is looking at North of $800 for a routine cleaning/scaling! The reason for increased costs I'm told, is that they now use more monitoring technology and perform more pre-surgery testing.In my opinion, needlessly piling on technology and testing adds little or no value to procedures that were, to my knowledge, NOT fraught with problems in the first place. Dog dentistry, performed by an expert, is pretty routine and uneventful. And was, at least until now, reasonably priced at this location. Perhaps this new owner is simply a disciple of PT Barnum. But the prices here are, in my opinion, over the top and unsustainable. My advice to pet owners is to do what I am doing: Be smart. Find a good, experienced, DVM who practices whole animal care, and let them care for your pet's teeth. Competition and common sense will make short work of this latest reincarnation of this business. Tough to imagine anyone with any sense of value doing business with this clinic. Especially since Houston has so many talented Vets willing to treat your dog's oral issues at more realistic prices.

Horrible!! About a year ago I took my 5 yrs old chihuahua n for a cleaning and when I picked her up ALL but 4 teeth were gone. I was told that they were too bad to save so they had to pull them rather than cleaning. I was in shock. I paid the bill and literally got in my vehicle with my dog and cried I could not believe that they could do something to that extent and not have called me. Heartless beyond words!! Read Less

We've been here three times now. We've seen Dr. McCoy every time and he and the staff have been beyond great. I originally considered them to be specialists; a place to bring our dogs when we needed specific oral or dental surgery. While they are very much that, we have also started using them for all our dogs dental needs. Dr. McCoy and his staff are very knowledgeable, they are extremely good with the animals and will take the time to walk you through everything; diagnosis from initial consultation, procedures, post-operative results, and aftercare. Their compassion, knowledge and attention to detail ensure that you and your pets will have the best possible care. Read Less

My cat needed 12 teeth pulled. Dr Ross ended up pulling 6 and said we will watch and try to see if the others pull out of the funk his mouth was in. In a few months my cat was still healthy as a clam and was very happy to have his remaining teeth. He was so helpful and got my cat in right away. He was very affordable which is what many of us look for. I will be back soon with my 3 dogs for a cleaning! :) Read Less

I've taken my dog to Dr. Boyd twice, and without a doubt I can honestly say he's an expert in his field. My baby boy, Kodiak has enamel hypoplasia which is an ongoing problem with his enamel formation. He's had  enamel restorations, cleanings, and all other kinds of work done all before the age of 2. Dr. Boyd's work is always great and Kodi is always taken care of with the utmost efforts. The staff at both the new and old location are always very informative and reassuring when asking "silly" questions. Overall, the cost is well worth it if it keeps my furry son smiling for years to come! Read Less

When our miniature Labradoodle, Clancy, needed his teeth cleaned, we asked our long time dog groomer for her recommendation. She immediately said she had used Dr. Ross for 28 years for her show dogs and he was, by far, the best. We looked at the Yelp reviews and Dr. Ross' extraordinary level of experience (see his bio info on his website.) Last week we called and made an appointment.This morning we had Dr. Ross clean Clancy's teeth. We could not be more satisfied. Clancy is at my feet now no worst for wear. He had a sleepy afternoon but is now 100% back to his normal tail wagging happy self.Rather than add superlatives to the other favorable reviews I will just comment that the single negative review here says more about the reviewer than it does about Dr. Ross. Read Less

After seeing these nice reviews, I thought Dr. Ross would be just the person to care for my aging dachsund, Oscar, who has had surgery for a back injury. But instead the vet insisted on picking my dog up without supporting his back legs (as any experienced vet should know) and, even though Oscar was squirming with pain, he refused to hold my dog properly. I asked Dr. Ross several times to support Oscar's back legs but he refused.  Finally, he put Oscar back on the floor and told me that he would not treat my dog.I was appalled and astonished at the poor treatment given to my dog by Dr. Ross. I also have to wonder - why he is getting such great reviews when he has so little empathy for animals? Read Less

As I'm writing this review I'm watching my dog enjoy the drugs Dr. Ross gave him. My dog Candy had some pretty bad teeth... and I knew extractions were needed. My vet told me a teeth cleaning would cost $350 and extractions would be additional. That bill would make a dent in my pocket. While yelping, previous reviews did help me take the jump and head towards Dr. Ross' office. I am ABSOLUTELY please with Dr. Ross' work. Consultation went quick, he told me what needed to be done and how long it would take. I forgot to ask how much everything would cost and was a bit worried since the Vet had given me such a high estimate (I thought that was the norm). I was taken by surprise that having a teeth cleaning and 14 teeth extracted only cost $271. Dr. Ross also took the time to teach me how to train my dog into getting used to getting his teeth brushed. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone! He's so friendly and so funny! Dr. Ross, if you're reading this... my dog is in a quiet place and enjoying his drugs since he never gets access to it! Thanks so much! Read Less

Dr. Ross if by far one on the most professional veterinarians i've ever met and came highly recommended from another vet that i know...even as a vet tech, it's hard to decide on a vet and when it comes to your own babies but Dr. Ross was sweet and awesome with my cat and they just took really good care of him :3 -Dr. Ross' practice was very clean & professional-his staff was very nice and helpful-the price(s) is quite the bargain for the for such quality skill & work-i def would recommend this clinic to anyone! it's worth it :D Read Less

Dr. Ross is the very best. He has a very practical, low-key, down-to-earth approach. His diagnosis was quick, comprehensive and understandable without the aid of  pretesting. His practice and philosophy accounts for the budgets of middle-class people who want to do the best they can for their pets.He offered a choice of treatments with a range of costs and assured me that the health of the animal would be ensured with what I could afford.His receptionist was quick to answer the phone and was very helpful with the check-out and with advice for preventative care options. The cost was below the estimate and very reasonable.  Whether you are a human or an animal, there is nothing better than healthy teeth and gums. Read Less

Dr. Ross is extremely knowledgeable and really looks out for the pets rather than his wallet. Our mastiff recently cracked one of his top canine teeth, and instead of recommending removal of the tooth, Dr. Ross suggested doing a root canal as it's much less traumatic on the pet and much more cost effective for the owner. We picked up a happy dog several hours later and we haven't had any problems with his tooth since. The clinic is spotless and the staff is extremely nice and helpful. I'll definitely be taking my other dogs here when it's time for their teeth cleanings.Read Less

My  vet told me one of my Burmese cats had a loose front fang and she needed to go to the dentist.  I was all for that but believed  it would at least be $500. That is what other vets usually charge me.  I took my cat to Dr Ross at Veterinary Dental Clinic, about 20 mile drive from my house in the Heights, and he removed a front fang and a molar.  Under $200 for it all.  He said these were simple extractions, not complicated.  I have another cat who will shortly  be making that trip before she has to lose teeth.  They are only 6 years old, so go figure.  Clean place, quiet, you can see through to the back, receptionist was pleasant, and I really liked the DDS Ross.  I am telling my friends about this place.  BTW, the original vet told me for four years the cats teeth were perfect. I fired her.Dr. Kay Van CleaveRecently I was told by a new vet that the cats' teeth needed attention and it would be over $400 each. I loaded them up and took them back to Dr Ross. He said their teeth were in good shape and nothing needed done this year but come back next year to be checked again. He charged me nothing. Be sure to see his website, how he got into this business. Interesting. Read Less

We were recommended to Dr. Ross by our vet. The clinic was very clean and bright. Dr. Ross was very knowledgeable and informative. Each dog will have a slightly different cost depending on how long the job takes. Ours happen to come out to around $275 which was affordable and slightly lower than what we expected. I would highly recommend this clinic. Read Less

When my regular vet noticed one of Daisy's back molars was cracked and looked infected, she recommended Dr. Ross. So I made the "dreaded" appointment and lied to my dog when I told her we were just going for a ride. Dr. Ross' office is located in the Fountains by the Avalon Diner. The office is clean and we only had a brief wait to see the doctor. Dr. Ross was gentle with Daisy during the examination and murmured nice things to her when he carried her off to the back. He did mention that he saw a couple of problem areas, there was a space between Daisy's front teeth and the gum looked infected due to food getting caught. The doctor advised that once Daisy was anesthetized he would check for other problem areas and may have to pull more than one tooth. I was given a 3-4 hour time frame. I picked up my baby after 4 hours and while still a bit groggy, I was greeted by a tail wag. Dr. Ross ended up pulling 5 teeth (yep, my baby has NO front upper teeth, the little hillbilly).

We were told by our vet that our dog's teeth needed to be cleaned (and it was perfectly obvious just by looking at the poor little pooch's teeth). He gave us an estimate of over $500 and we about fainted.  We remembered hearing about this specialized dental vet in the Fountains...Dr Ross at the Veterinary Dental Clinic cleaned our dog's dirty teeth at less than half the price ($220). He had plenty of open appointments. His clinic is very clean and the doors are all open so you can see back into the treatment area. He was able to clean her teeth and have her ready to go in about 4 hours (all pets get general anesthesia for teeth cleanings). Dr. Ross is a real vet who just happens to specialize in animal dentistry, and he does a great job.I've only had one dog's teeth cleaned there, but I would definitely bring any of my other dogs there as well (and plan to in the future to avoid the crazy high cost of my regular vet).His office is located in the strip center behind Avalon in the Fountains.
