Companion Animal Hospital

Awesome! I haven't seen them in years but, I have had birds, snakes, fancy rats &he is the the only veterinarian in Brownsville, TX WITH EXPERTISE IN DOGS, CATS AND EXOTIC ANIMALS & is WONDERFUL!

Companion Hospital is listed as an emergency vet on the internet. Last night my 17 year old dog had three episodes of convulsions or stroke. I called Champion. I was connect to an answering service. I told them my dog was suffering and needed to be put down, They informed me that Companion only provides emergency services for established customers.

I begged the answering service to please contact the on-call doctor to tell them what was going on. She told me they had strict rules that vets were available for current clientele only.

This morning I called again to ask if I could bring my dog in because she was suffering. The receptionist, said, I'm sorry, but the doctors are doing surgery this morning. It would have taken less than 10 minutes to put my dog out of her misery.

I will never become one of Companion's regular customers. Based on my experience, they don't really care about pets. I f they did, they would have compassion for all animals not just their clients.

Great place, great people, cuz you can't put a price on a family member. Plenty of treats and smiles made my anxious little puppy's first trip to vet one to put in the books - he was right at ease at the hands of Ms. Rodriguez and her assistant. It was so painfully evident that these people were more interested in making the dog comfortable than making the pocket hurt; I will most definitely be back again, because it takes a very special person to handle my over-excited giant of a pup. 5 stars, definitely recommend for pet owners who are actually interested in full treatment for their pets.

This is the most unethical and overpriced veterinary you can go to. The vet, Yadira Rodriguez, doesn’t give a damn about animals. All they care about is getting as much money out of you as possible. They will do as many unnecessary tests as possible to charge you incredible amounts and they will force you to buy the medications from them. If you try to order from cheaper places like 1800-Pet meds, they will deny the prescription just to charge you more than 3 times the value of the medications. It’s like going to the doctor and have him or her keeping you from buying your medicines from Walgreens or wherever you want to buy them just so they can charge you 20 bucks for Tylenol. On top of that, expect to spend the whole day there because they take forever to do anything; and it’s not because they have a lot of patients. It’s because they take forever for everything and they just don’t care about your time.
