About Our Practice...

Kirby Animal Hospital, founded in 1975 by 2 veterinarians as a small/ large animal practice, is now a one doctor, full service veterinary hospital catering to small animals, avians and exotics.  Some of our services include preventative health care and education, routine surgery and dentistry, boarding, hospitalization, in-house pharmacy/laboratory, surgical and therapy laser, radiology, and basic grooming.  

 
Kirby Animal Hospital as it was in the 1970's and before the renovation...
We've recently renovated and
expanded our clinic!
 
We recently gone from a 1000 square foot clinic to over 3000 square feet of space! 
Now we can serve our clients more
efficiently with a much larger lobby, three
exam rooms, enlarged laboratory and pharmacy, a surgical suite with
attached x-ray room, isolation unit,
additional cage space, and a small fenced in outdoor run area for the dogs.  We've also added a few comforts for the staff as well with a break room, two restrooms, and 3 staff offices.
 
Scheduled Appointments

Although we see pets primarily by appointment, walk-ins are accommodated and will be
seen only as time allows at an additional fee.  We highly suggest that those clients who cannot schedule an appointment during our regular appointment hours schedule a "drop off" appointment instead.  Scheduled appointments will of course be seen first.  Emergencies however, will be seen immediately.  Like humans, animals do not synchronize their illnesses and office visits.  Sometimes office visits take longer than planned.  So, occasional appointment delays do occur.

Appointments are available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30am -10:30am and
from 3:30pm - 5:15pm.  Tuesday and Thursday appointments are available from 9:30am - 10:30am and 3:30pm - 6:15pm.  Occasionally we offer appointments til noon during the
week.  We are open from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays for boarding and picking up medicines and/or supplies as well.  However, at this time we do not have a veterinarian on staff on Saturdays.

Please call (210) 661-6717 to schedule an appointment.

Drop Off Appointments

We encourage appointments during regular office hours. However, we realize that it can be difficult finding time in a busy schedule to attend to pet care.  Therefore, we also offer the convenience of a pet "drop off" service to our clients from 7am to 9am.  We are open at 7am Monday through Friday for those clients who are not able to schedule an appointment during regular office hours.  Those pets are examined during the day and in most cases are ready to be picked up before we close for the day.

Referral Policy

We Love Referrals!  The greatest compliment our clients can give us is the referral of new clients!  Ask about our referral program!
