Vaccinations
Our vaccination program protects pets against common infectious diseases through customized schedules for puppies, kittens, and adult animals. We use USDA-approved vaccines administered by licensed veterinarians to ensure safety and efficacy. Preventive care includes rabies, distemper, and bordetella immunizations tailored to each pet's lifestyle and risk factors.
Parasite Prevention
We offer comprehensive parasite prevention for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal worms. Our veterinary team recommends monthly preventatives and conducts regular fecal testing to maintain pet health. Treatment plans address existing infestations while educating owners on environmental control measures for long-term protection.

Our USDA-certified veterinarians issue official health certificates required for pet travel within the US and internationally. The process includes physical exams, vaccination record verification, and documentation meeting destination-specific requirements. We assist with completing airline forms and preparing pets for stress-free travel.

Our climate-controlled boarding facility accommodates dogs and cats with supervised play areas and individual housing. Services include medication administration, special diet feeding, and daily health monitoring by trained staff. Overnight stays feature comfortable bedding and regular interaction to ensure pet well-being during owner absences.
Deworming
We diagnose and treat intestinal parasites through fecal analysis and targeted deworming protocols. Our approach combines oral medications with follow-up testing to ensure complete parasite elimination.

My puppy broke her arm right at the elbow which resulted in her needing surgery. Everyplace in Lubbock turned me away except one but couldn't get her into surgery in time. (The place suggested i go to Dallas which the price of her surgery would be more expensive they quoted around 5k in dallas )I called coulter animal clinic and they told me Dr. Hodges has done surgery on puppies and has done this surgery.

I scheduled an exam on a Saturday and they got me scheduled for surgery that upcoming Monday. The surgery was priced fairly good(right below 3k)!If you get turned away for any surgery go to coulter he's the only doctor I will trust when it comes to surgery! I trust him with my puppy from here on out

I recently moved to the Amarillo area. I am so fortunate that I live near this veterinarian clinic. I took my baby in because I knew she needed knee surgery. Wow cannot say enough about their staff and the doctors here. They took excellent care of my sweet little for baby. I relieved all the stress that I had. Thank you guys so much for being incredible!

My buddy is home and resting! Removed a volleyball sized hematoma. She's 13 and running around like a puppy. Post op she's acting like nothing happened except she obviously feels much better! Best dog ever!

We've been here 3 different times and 2x has been unpleasant. Office staff is like dealing with zombies. Dr. Hodges was the same way very cold and less than desirable to deal with. The 1 time we went in we dealt with Dr. Kinser and she was very outgoing and had a great experience with her.

Just recently adopted a dog and started taking him to Coulter Animal Hospital based on recommendations from my coworkers. I am very pleased with the care my dog received and friendliness and professionalism of the staff and the docs! I ask a bunch of questions and the staff are super patient and kind always!
