Visit was great,as usual! Everyone is very accommodating! Dr Steiihower is an 25 + year veteran, ( even though she looks 38! ) I would never entrust my many pups over the years to anyone else! Her staff is just as amazing! ❤️

This place has officially become my new go-to veterinary clinic. The entire staff was incredibly attentive, keeping me updated constantly and showing great sensitivity to both my furry baby’s needs and mine. Although my pet sadly succumbed to her diagnosis, I have no doubt she was in the best hands possible. While I wish I could have her back, I know this was beyond my control. I am truly thankful and grateful for everything the Parkwood staff did for both of us.

This place was wonderful! We have a reactive dog that is very sweet but just needs the patience to let him get to know you. Before we left, he was treated with so much patience that he was trying to play with them! Dr Vandeford, we’ve met at a different clinic and was the reason why we moved to this place! He is so incredibly good at what he does! Helping us to find the answers and explaining to where we understand and all agree as to next steps. The staff were all very good! We never felt rushed! Would highly recommend!!

A few months ago, my 13-year-old schnoodle, Maggie, became seriously ill. On a Friday morning, I had to leave for a work conference at 6:30am - my first major event since starting a new job. Maggie had thrown up that morning, but I hoped it was just an upset stomach. When I got home at 8:30pm, it was clear things were worse. She was lethargic, still vomiting, and visibly unwell. I felt this deep weight of guilt knowing she had been sick for over 12 hours while I had no choice but to be away.
The next morning, I rushed her to Parkwood Animal Hospital. They didn’t have an open appointment, but they still made time to see her. I’ll never forget that. After assessing her, they referred me to Pearland Emergency Animal Clinic, which I’d never even heard of! I’d always gone to a different emergency vet that was, frankly, worse than average. But this emergency clinic was absolutely 5-star. They admitted Maggie immediately, and she ended up staying three days. That’s when we learned she had diabetes and pancreatitis.
Since then, Parkwood has been my anchor. Learning how to care for a diabetic dog; giving insulin shots every 12 hours, feeding on a precise schedule, monitoring for warning signs, and bringing her in every 7–10 days for glucose curves, has been a huge adjustment. But I haven’t felt alone in it.
Paige, one of the vet techs, has been a steady, kind, and reassuring presence throughout it all. She’s usually the one greeting me at the door when I drop Maggie off and again when I pick her up. She never rushes me, even when I know she has a hundred things going on. She listens, answers every question, and treats Maggie like she matters. That means the world to me.
Just last week, Maggie had a small scare, and I brought her in on short notice. I told Paige about my anxiety over an upcoming four-day business trip - my first time traveling in more than ten years, and how much it pained me to think of Maggie in a metal kennel. Paige immediately said, “Have you heard about our luxury rooms?” I hadn’t! She described the little glass-door suites they offer—calm, quiet, with room for Maggie to move around and feel safe. I booked it right then and there.
Then Barbara at the front desk (also amazing!) told me she’d let Maggie hang out up front with her during the day and gate off the area so she wouldn’t feel alone. That kind of thoughtfulness and care? It’s rare. And it gave me such peace of mind.
Now I know when I travel, Maggie won’t just be okay... she’ll be happy. Safe. Monitored. Loved. And I can do my job with a full heart and clear head.
I can’t say enough good things about Parkwood Animal Hospital. Their compassion, attentiveness, and genuine care have carried me through one of the hardest seasons of pet ownership. If you’re trying to find the right place to take your pet - Parkwood Animal Hospital is t. And if you get the chance to work with Paige, know that you’re in incredible hands. She absolutely deserves to be recognized for the difference she makes!

I have been bringing my dogs and cats to Parkwood for over 10 years. Whether it’s a routine yearly check up or last minute, I’ve been Grateful.Most of the time I’ve been able to get me in. Every doctor that we’ve seen is wonderful. The techs are amazing and the Front Desk folks are patient, especially with an anxious mom with a sick baby. I appreciate everything they do.
