About Rice Village Animal Hospital
Rice Village Animal Hospital has occupied its spot on Rice Boulevard since 1976, in the middle of the Village's shops and close to the Texas Medical Center. It is AAHA accredited and sees dogs and cats on weekdays from 8am to 6pm. Access is a strength. The hospital offers same-day sick visits and accepts walk-ins, and busy owners can drop pets off from 8am and collect them later. Diagnostics include digital x-ray, portable ultrasound and an in-house lab, supporting wellness care, dentistry, surgery, oncology and end-of-life care. Veterinary care is also available in Spanish: Dr. Asucena Ochoa joined in part to serve Houston's Spanish-speaking pet owners. The clinic is closed at weekends.
