About Us
As a long-standing part of the Lake Houston community, Animal Care Center of Lake Houston offers the perfect blend of advanced veterinary medicine and the warm, down-to-earth charm you’d expect from a true hometown practice.
Our Story: A Neighborhood Clinic with a Loving Heart
For more than 30 years, Animal Care Center of Lake Houston has been more than a veterinary clinic—we’ve been part of the Huffman community and part of the families who trust us with their pets.
Since 1995, we’ve believed that the best veterinary care starts with relationships. As an independently owned practice, we have the freedom to make decisions based on what is best for each individual pet—not a corporate formula or bottom line.
We take the time to know our clients, know their pets, listen to their concerns, and provide thoughtful care tailored to each family. Over the years, we’ve watched puppies and kittens grow up, cared for generations of beloved pets, and shared in countless milestones, joyful moments, and difficult goodbyes.
Today, under the leadership of Dr. Sheila Gilbert, we remain proudly independent and deeply committed to the personal care that has always defined us. We combine modern veterinary medicine with something just as important: a familiar face, a personal connection, and a genuine investment in every pet we care for.
We’re grateful for the families who have trusted us for more than three decades—and we look forward to being here for the generations to come.
Independent by choice. Personal by nature. Caring for your family like our own.
Over the years, we’ve grown alongside our community—expanding our services, investing in modern diagnostic tools, and strengthening our commitment to exceptional pet care. Yet our core values remain the same:
- Treat every pet like family
- Offer thoughtful, individualized care
- Build lasting relationships with our clients
- Provide dependable support every step of the way
Our practice reflects the spirit of the Lake Houston region—friendly, welcoming, and deeply community-focused. We’re proud to serve generations of pet owners who trust us with their animals’ lifelong health.
Our Mission: Compassionate Care, Honest Guidance
At Animal Care Center of Lake Houston, our mission is to keep pets healthy, comfortable, and thriving at every stage of life. We emphasize client education, preventative care, and clear communication—because great veterinary medicine is a partnership.
We stay up to date on the latest veterinary advancements while remaining dedicated to the personal, attentive approach that defines our rural-practice roots. Whether your pet needs a routine checkup, advanced diagnostics, or help during an unexpected illness, our team delivers care with patience, understanding, and heart.
Supporting Pets Across the Lake Houston Community
Our clinic proudly serves pets and families throughout Huffman and the surrounding areas of Atascocita, Crosby, Porter, New Caney, Humble, Dayton, and Kingwood. As a local business, we cherish the connections we’ve built with our neighbors and appreciate the trust our community places in us.
We also believe in giving back. Our team regularly participates in local events, supports pet-related organizations, and provides guidance to pet owners across the Lake Houston area. Caring for animals is our passion—but supporting the people who love them is just as important.
