Fulshear-Katy Community Guide 2024-25

Although The WellPet Center is larger than many other veterinary clinics, the staff is passionate about the connection they maintain with clients and the care they provide for their pets. With nine practicing veterinarians on staff, they have the flexibility to squeeze in urgent visits and surgical procedures to get patients the care they need in a timely manner. Each of the doctors brings a special skill set, and while they all work regularly on dogs and cats, a few of them also see more exotic animals.

in addition to, of course, the families and their dogs, is how much I have enjoyed working with the local canine rescue organizations to help train and place dogs with their forever families in Katy. ”The WellPet Center, located on FM 1463 in Cross Creek Ranch, is also family-owned and operated. The original office, which opened in 2012, was about 1,800 square feet.
