Veterinarians in Waco

“I took 2 Shelties in for OFA hip x-rays. I was very pleased with the way the girls were handled. Very friendly staff and the cost was very reasonable. I foresee seeing Dr. Teel again for veterinary care.“

“Really kind people. It’s always so stressful having a pet in an emergency situation. Our toy poodle was attacked and the vet was super careful and communicated each decision. It’s always pricey, it’s always after hours and it’s never really a positive experience but a polite and honest professional really helps. So grateful!“

“Dr Highfill is the absolute best vet we have ever had! Our pets love her and have ZERO anxiety when they see her. The whole staff is personable and take great care of us!“

“I always have a great experience when I bring our dogs here. The techs and doctors are always very sweet and patient. Prices are reasonable.“

“I just moved to Waco about 7 months ago. I happened to check around and decided to go to Barkley Vetinary for my cat Mysti. Great choice. Affordable and Dr Pippin is one of the best DVM.“

“I’ll be honest — I had issues with this clinic years ago, and I was very vocal about it. If you’re from the Waco area, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about it. Because of that, I spent years trying to find a vet clinic that truly felt right for me and my dogs… and after a long search, I decided to give Coltonwood another try after hearing they had new staff and new procedures in place.

I’m really glad I did.

Dr. Cooksey is absolutely amazing. I genuinely love her. She listens to my concerns, takes her time, and always gives me her honest, thoughtful opinion. I never feel rushed, brushed off, or dismissed. That alone is huge.

The staff at the Loop location is also fantastic. Chance and Alexandra at the front desk are always kind, helpful, and on top of everything, and Heather, the vet tech, is a total star. They’re efficient, friendly, and make every visit smooth and stress-free. We’re always in and out without feeling hurried, which is the perfect balance.

Are they pricey? Well… aren’t they all? ? But the level of care, professionalism, and peace of mind I get here makes it worth it.

If you had a past experience like mine and have been hesitant to return, I can honestly say — give them another chance. The difference is real, and I’m grateful I did.“

“Brazos Valley Equine is my go to Vet for all my needs! Very good customer service and staff!“

“My family has taken our furbabies to
Northside since 1992--well, my parents are still clients, but I moved out of town in 2022. It had occurred to me to leave this review now because last Tuesday, I lost my elderly tortie cat, Sally, to kidney disease, and Dr. Cox treated her for hyperthyroidism while I still lived in Waco. If you need a vet who deals with animals and their owners alike with compassion and empathy, Dr. Cox is your man.

About 10 years ago, Dr. Cox made a house call (though I don't think Northside does those anymore) to euthanize our 21-year-old kitty, Sox, who also had kidney disease. Dr. Cox was so very kind and gentle with our old guy. He injected the sedative and then asked if there was a spot in the house where Sox loved to nap. So we moved our baby to his spot by the fireplace, and we sat and stroked him and talked to him as the sedative took effect. I still remember Dr. Cox saying something to the effect that he liked to imagine a cat on drugs would envision themselves bounding through fields of catnip and chasing after squirrels. We laughed through our tears, and we knew that we had given Sox the best life possible and a peaceful end.

Thank you for caring, Dr. Cox.“

“LAAH folks are great and very considerate. The office has a separate entrance for the pups and cats. Only place to have exotics checked out in the area and wonderful to boot!“

“Really have enjoyed the service here. Staff is very respectable and things are a bit more casual here. We have brought our two dogs and still need to bring the two cats. The veterinarian we see is very nice they are willing to work with our budget to help us get the most done like shots etc within our budget. Very happy here. My understanding is that they offer boarding for cats and dogs. Really friendly and respectful to us and our dogs. Really very well pleased.“
