AAHA-Accredited Vet Near Montclair
Rice Village Animal Hospital is AAHA-accredited — a credential fewer than 15% of US veterinary practices hold. That accreditation comes from independent evaluation against more than 900 standards covering surgical safety, pain management, client communication, and more. Our team includes a bilingual Spanish-speaking veterinarian, and Montclair pet owners are among the 200+ families who have left us five-star reviews.
We offer comprehensive, relationship-based veterinary care. Our vets get to know your pet over time, which means better preventive care and faster recognition when something changes. We keep most diagnostics and treatments in-house to minimize stress on your pet and avoid unnecessary referrals.

Why Montclair Pet Owners Choose Rice Village Animal Hospital
Montclair is a quiet residential neighborhood tucked between West University Place and Bellaire, close enough to Rice Village that our clinic at 2348 Rice Blvd is a natural choice for families there. We’ve been at this location since 1976 — long enough that we’ve cared for multiple generations of pets from the same Montclair households.
Our AAHA accreditation puts us in the top 15% of veterinary practices in the United States. The accreditation process involves on-site evaluation of more than 900 standards: anesthesia safety, surgical protocols, diagnostic procedures, pain management, and how we handle follow-up after complex cases. It isn’t something you apply for and receive — you earn it, and maintain it with periodic re-evaluation. For Montclair families who want to know their vet is being held to an external standard, it’s a meaningful distinction.
We have a Spanish-speaking veterinarian on staff and more than 200 five-star reviews from clients throughout southwest Houston.
What Comprehensive Vet Care Looks Like
For most healthy pets, the annual wellness exam is the anchor of their care. We use that visit to review vaccines, check for parasite exposure, assess dental health (which affects overall health more than most owners realize), evaluate weight and body condition, and — for dogs over seven or eight — begin paying closer attention to organ function and joint health.
Between annual visits, we’re here when something comes up. A skin condition that won’t clear. A dog that’s been drinking more water than usual. A cat that stopped eating. These are the situations where having an established patient relationship matters — we know your pet’s baseline, and we can tell you whether something has changed or whether it falls within normal range for that individual animal.
Our in-house lab runs blood panels, urinalysis, and other diagnostics during the visit, so you leave with answers rather than a promise to call you in two days.
