If you want people who genuinely care about an animal and about your close relationship and feelings toward them, this is the place to go. Dr. Merritt and her staff went above and beyond to help my cat Apollo. I previously had gone to the country vet, hearing so many "great" things about that place, but was left totally disappointed after my visit. My cat was diagnosed with a respiratory virus by Dr. Merritt after the country vet told me there was nothing to worry about. Apollo hadnt eaten for 5 days straight and was very lethargic. He had liquids coming out of his eyes and was breathing weirdly with some wheezing. I left country vet still having my cat very sick and not even reassured that hed be ok. (I didnt even get to speak to the vetaranarian at country vet after I picked up my cat that day) All the country vet did was give him an injection that was supposed to fight a fever but today when I took him to Dr. Merritt, he had a fever of 103. Dr. Merritt and her staff gave everything to Apollo that the other vet didnt which included xrays in his lungs (something country vet told me they would do, but didnt after all because they felt it was "unnecessary) , blood work, IV nutrients etc. Dr. Merritt and her staff promised me they were going to do everything they could do best for Apollo. Today, Dr. Merritt called me and told me Apollo was responding well to treatment after all and that he started eating again. (Thank God. 5 days was so hard to watch him not take a bite of any food or water) She gave me oral medicines for my fur baby and made sure everything was going to be ok. Her staff is very very friendly and very aware of what they are doing. At the other vet, I had to hold my cat down while they took his temperature which in return led me to getting bit and scratched by him Yes hes my cat, but it is supposed to be their job and responsibility since they are supposed to be the professionals. Dr. Merritt made sure everything was done correctly by her assistants and that everything was in their hands. Yes it does cost money, but if you really love your pet youll leave them in the hands of professionals and people who really have a genuine heart for animals. I made the mistake at looking for the best deal in money terms, but in the end my poor baby was still suffering because of people who didnt put my cats needs and his owners feelings first. Dr. Merritt and her staff make all that their top priority. They will do everything they can to help your pet recover. The other vet lacked all this with a rude, uneducated staff. They are very patient, kind, sweet, welcoming, knowledgeable and considerate. This is how all vet staff should be towards a living, breathing creature. After all, thats what their job title is.

I adopted my second dog from a shelter and after a few days it became clear that he was quite ill. I took him to my vet, Dr. Allison Tewell-Merritt, and she immediately diagnosed him with Distemper. Dr. Tewell-Merritts early diagnosis was instrumental in ensuring my newly adopted dog survived what is more often than not a fatal disease due in part to the fact that it often goes undiagnosed until it is too late to treat. She utilized a new plasma treatment which resulted in a speedy recovery. Dr. Allison Tewell-Merritt is a knowledgable and caring vet and she is very good at communicating the facts regarding the condition and treatment of my pets that are in her care. She has previously cared for my other dog, also a shelter adoption, when she fell ill and she is in great health today. I have a lot of trust and respect for Dr. Tewell-Merritt and I fully recommend her as well as the great staff at San Benito Animal Hospital for all of your pet health needs. She and her staff have now saved two of my dogs!

They charged me a $200 deposit to tell me that my dog had parvo which I already knew. I wish they would told before I went that for meds for parvo would be 1500.00. Since I didnt have 1500 right there in there they said they had to my dog to sleep :( . I was so disappointed I went home with no money and no dog. I wish I would of given the opportunity to give my dog a proper barreal. So ppl if ur dog has parvo find a another vet because some fit charge less then $300 and not $1500. The lady vet had no feelings toward my dog.

I take my 3 schnauzers here, and the service is outstanding. The prices are reasonable, they give you estimates beforehand, and they dont try to push services on you that your dog does not need. They are they only service that I know of outside of McAllen that offers emergency after-hours veterinary care. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a veterinarian.

I would like to thank the Veterinarians for taking care of my little girl, Penny! She was withdrawn from us, so I made the time to swing by the San Benito Animal Hospital. They took very good care of her and brought her back to us in way better condition! Thank you Veterinarians for all your concern and care you gave my little Penny!

These ppl had no concern for my pets well being & were totally ok sending us off without treatment or a diagnosis. I understand youre running a business but now I know youre heartless as well. So disgusted & disappointed with this establishment. I will take my business else where.

Dr Merritt has consistently gone above and beyond what I have come to expect from other vets. She is extremely knowledgeable and obviously cares about the animals in her care. I am happy to have found the San Benito Animal Hospital and Dr Merritt.

We love Dr. Merritt and her staff. They treat our fur babies with genuine care and, and they value our concerns. We also get text reminders when its time for shots or heartworm.
