Best cat-friendly vet we’ve been to ❤️ We haven’t had the best luck with vets in the past, but this hospital has certainly eased our worries! Thank you all for all you do!
Good service as always and all the girls love and affection towards me and Zowie
This place is great and we've had good experiences with all the vets/techs. They even helped our dog when we rushed him in during an anaphylactic allergic reaction. Absolutely saved his life. We've taken all four of our dogs here and will continue to do so!
Highly recommend Dr Zach Nesbitt and his crew! They are through, caring and professional.
Receptionist needs better phone etiquette. She was very rude and I was just trying to get my pet an appointment and there wasn’t availability which is fine but when I said it was all good, thanks so much the receptionist hung up on me without saying anything else.
Awesome veterinary practice! Everyone is kind, welcoming and professional. I see Dr. Howes. I trust him with the welfare of my animals. This practice has seen me through three of my dogs, crossing the rainbow bridge. They were very kind and empathetic. I would trust the care of my pet pets to no one else!

Thank you!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Godley Station Animal Hospital. After 15 years with my sweet Toy Yorkie, Gio, I had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye. I had called several places beforehand, and most immediately began quoting astronomical prices. Godley Station was completely different. Justina answered the phone, and her first concern wasn’t money—it was how I was doing. That compassion meant more than she probably realizes. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly gentle with both my old pup and me. They treated Gio with tenderness, dignity, and love and gave me all the time and patience I needed to say goodbye. A very special thank you to the sweet young lady who walked my Gio, my son-in-law, and me to the back and gave Gio some whipped cream to enjoy. ❤️ That simple act of kindness—giving my little old man one more special treat—meant more to me than you will ever know. I wish I could remember the veterinarian’s name because you were absolutely amazing. Thank you for making one of the hardest moments of my life a little easier. Then I received a sympathy card personally signed by the staff. That gesture meant so much because it reminded me that Gio wasn’t just another patient to them. They truly cared. Thank you, Justina, the wonderful doctor, that very special young lady, and everyone at Godley Station Animal Hospital for going above and beyond for my Gio and for me. ❤️🐾 I cannot recommend them highly enough.

They are always so sweet and attentive to my Marcy! She's a very scared and skittish cat, but they always handle her gently and make the whole process quick and painless. They figured out what was going on with her in no time, and the treatment was within my means. Dr. Zachary is so knowledgeable and kind, taking the time to talk us through all our worries and give us options. I feel lucky to live so close to such a helpful animal hospital that me and my furbaby can rely on.
Best vet office hand down!
