Our Story
About Our Houston Heights Veterinary Hospital
At Urban Animal we know that every companion animal has his or her own unique characteristics that define who they are. We celebrate these qualities, and that’s why our approach is specific to a pet’s individual needs.
Urban Animal takes into consideration things like personality, sex, lifestyle, breed and life stage. Our state-of the-art facility enables us to work with animals that have a range of needs, from a pet that’s healthy to one that’s sick or in need of emergency care to becoming a senior or experiencing something else.
Your pet isn’t just a pet; he or she is your urban companion. We wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s why Urban Animal was created – to celebrate the uniqueness and dignity of every individual animal.
Our Houston Heights Animal Hospital Services
Following are some of the many services we perform. Visit our Services overview for more details.
Fear-Free Philosophy
Your pets are important. So is their need to feel safe and secure. That’s why Urban Animal uses fear-free techniques when working with our furry friends. We have separate cat and dog entrances, exam rooms and treatment spaces – all to make your animal companion feel calm and reassured.
The exam rooms and treatment areas have special feline and canine plug-in pheromones along with a scrumptious array of species-specific snacks. Combine that with gentle handling throughout their visit and your pet’s mind can travel to a land of savory scents and reassuring scratches, reminding them that all is right in their world.
While we are patient-centered, we do care about the people attached to their pets. For Humans, we offer high-speed Wi-Fi, a mix of beverages and spin your favorite 80s and 90s tunes – all served in an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable environment. As Dorothy once said while clicking her heels, “there’s no place like home.” Urban Animal is designed to put every creature at ease and create a feeling as warm and familiar as home.
Diversity / ADA
At Urban Animal we wanted the best team to work with your animal companions, so we picked an amazing group of people to work with your pets. This resulted in diversity and a fantastic Urban Team. And we couldn’t be prouder. Our diversity reflects the wide range of people and pets in the community we serve.
Our way of thinking extends to whomever walks through our doors. We don’t care about what you look like, your gender, whom you choose to love and how you choose to express yourself. We also don’t don’t discriminate on whether you’re intact, spayed or neutered, walk on two legs, four or require assistance. Urban Animal respects the uniqueness of anyone that comes into our hospital. When you’re here, we want you to feel right at home.
Reinforcing our commitment to celebrate the uniqueness and dignity of every individual, we built this hospital from the ground up to be in full compliance with the ADA. Our hallways, washroom, waiting area, exam rooms and parking are accessible to everyone. At Urban Animal, everyone is welcome.
