Colbern Road Animal Clinic - Douglas Neal DVM

Love Dr Neal and staff!!! Always so kind and helpful! Thank you for all you do!

We have been taking our dog to the Colbern Road Animal Clinic for a long time. 8 years or more. Dr. Neal has always treated our dog with care, like our dog was his dog. He is patient and compassionate and knowledgeable. He has helped us so many times and even came out on a Sunday on an emergency for us one time. He started preparing us for putting our dog down in February last year. We've probably seen him more this past year than we normally do in 3-4 years. About 10 months later when it came time to put our dog down, we had to go to the Oak Grove Animal clinic, but Dr. Neal was there for us. He helped us get through the experience. The clinic sent us a card to remember Buddy and they made a donation to the Veterinary hospital/program at the University of Missouri in Buddy's memory. Dr. Neal is a great vet and the staff at Colbern Road and Oak Grove are excellent also. We have been blessed by their service.

We love the low rates for boarding our dog.

First of all, Thanks You Dr. Neal and staff members of Colbern Road Animal Clinic, for your kindness, professionalism & your dedication for your clients & patients. Our first appointment bringing Lily in regarding her swollen little face was such a breath of fresh air. You were so good with our little ole lady, Lily. You let us know exactly what was going on, did not want to put her through a marathon of tests and charge us $1000. We were so grateful that you took into consideration her age and that surgery was not an option. You gave her medications for the infection, swelling & pain. She was all better within a week. Our next and only other visit was the hardest thing my husband and I have ever had to do. Our sweet Lily was tired and we knew her quality of life was not good. We sent her over that Rainbow Bridge, to be with her heavenly father and her best buddy a chocolate Lab, named Cocoa. Oh what a heavenly party they probably had. Dr. Neal was not able to be there, but the attending vet Dr. Gower was really great. He and the assistant was so polite, courteous and gave us the time to say good bye to our sweet baby. It was an emotional time and lots of tears were shed, but the two of them stepped back and just let us have our moment. We sure wish we of found Colbern Road Animal Clinic a million years ago.....
It will be a while before we have another fur baby. When we do decide, we definitely know where we will take them for all of there vet care.
I just cannot say enough good things about you! Such a great team.
God bless all you all!
Sincerely,
Jerry & Angie Williams

Dr Doug Neal is the most caring, kind & knowledgeable veterinarian I've ever met. He not only treats your dog as if it were his own pet, he also talks to us dog parents in a way that makes you understand exactly what is going on with your pet. I highly recommend this business. They also offer online orderig and it sure is a time saver and very convenient. I find this to be a value added service they offer as I have a home in Austin as well and no problem they ship anywhere.
Thank you Dr Neal for your professionalism.

Great prices and great service. Sure, it's small and maybe out of the way for some people, but it's much better than the $$$ vets. Examples:
Mitzi: 10-11 yr old black lab/ rottweiler mix. We had to euthanize her b/c we couldn't find anyone to take care of her. The vet - who I believe was Dr. Andrea Shull, DVM - sat in the room with me the entire time, even going so far as to put her hand on my shoulder to comfort me.
Tara (1): We took her in for declaw. They supplied so much loving care to her while she was in their hospital and then provided us with enough info to keep her safe once we took her home. (Though the whole jumping thing did not work out.
Penny: 4 yr old skittish Australian retriever. Even when she kept jumping around for immunizations, they kept her calm.
Tara (2): The night before, my husband and I took her to an emergency animal hospital in the area. They told us she might have kidney stones, etc, but quoted us a price of $2000 to fix her up. We didn't have the money, so we waited until the next morning. As soon as I took her to our vet, they immediately started taking care of her. When they called with her kidney results, they warned us that she might not make it through surgery because of how high her kidney levels were. We went ahead with the surgery, after returning to the clinic to possibly say goodbye. 3 hours after the 45 minute surgery, I received a call from the vet. She'd made it through. They were going to check her kidney levels again to see how much damage had been done to her kidneys due to full urethral blockage. By the next day, we took Tara home.
Colbern Rd Animal Clinic is always there to answer as many questions as you might have.

Dr. Douglas Neal is fantastic. Have taken all of our family members to him since he was pretty much first out of school (He didn't need reader's then..hehe-poke-poke) TEXAS A&M. Seriously, he is kind, cares about the animals he treats and their owners. He is so smart and great diagnostician. Honest and straight forward. In the times that aren't great he will give you options and be with you all the way. I have seen him tear up.
He's worth a pot of gold.

Dr. Douglas Neal is the best. Truly! Have gone to him since he was wet behind the ears TX A&M graduate. He has taken care of numerous pets from puppies to the end. He is compassionate! He works between his two clinics Oak Grove Animal Clinic and Colburn Road. I always call OG clinic to see where he's at that day. I HATE it when he takes family vacations! COSTS; Worth every penny for furry family member.

vet is great. been going for years. front desk def needs to learn costumer service. very rude. almost kept me from making a future appointment. suggest their oak grove office.

I loved my first visit! I felt like they really cared about my cat, Phoebe. We were just there for a check up, but they have everything there (like blood machines) to take care of her if she ever gets sick. Loved the contemporary decor. Very friendly staff!
