Located at 2959 Southwest Freeway in Houston, Sunset Animal Hospital blends the familiarity of a neighborhood clinic with the advanced capabilities of a full-service medical center. The hospital is also AAHA accredited, reflecting its commitment to meeting or exceeding the highest standards in veterinary care across all areas of practice.
Comprehensive care around the clock
“Sunset Animal Hospital is unique, because we are a 24/7 hospital,” Dr. Ashley Woods said. “We offer wellness at any time during the day or the night. You can come in whenever for both preventative care and urgent care.”
The hospital’s 11-doctor team offers a broad range of services under one roof, including:
- Vaccinations
- Dental cleanings
- Wellness exams
- Spay and neuter procedures
- Surgery, orthopedics and other advanced surgical techniques
- Parasite prevention
- Advanced imaging
- End-of-life care
Building trust with patients and pet parents
Dr. Woods said they make a point to involve pet parents in the care process to help them understand the purpose behind each step, allowing them to make informed decisions about their pet's treatment.
“Involving them in every treatment plan helps people trust us,” she said.
The team at Sunset Animal Hospital emphasizes staying ahead of potential health issues by focusing on routine wellness and prevention.
“I think preventative care is the way to go,” Dr. Woods said. “If we can do a lot of preventative care, we're not seeing things like heartworm disease, which is more expensive to treat than it is to prevent.”
Dr. Woods noted that new pet owners often come in with concerns—especially about vaccines—due to the overwhelming amount of information online. She said the clinic’s technicians do a thorough job explaining everything, which helps individuals make informed decisions.
For anxious animals, the clinic’s team uses a case-by-case strategy that might involve calming medications, extra time with the care team or simply sitting on the floor to build trust.
