Veterinarian

Forest Lake Animal Clinichas been a trusted part of the Seabrook, Texas community since 1980. We are a growing 1.5-DVM practice, recently refreshed with an exterior update and an interior remodel that expanded our exam room capacity, created a larger treatment area, and added a dedicated teammate breakroom. Our well-equipped facility includes a full in-house laboratory, digital radiology, a surgical suite, and a closely supervised hospitalization area.

Our experienced team is led by a tenured Hospital Manager and a Lead DVM for mentorship. We offer comprehensive veterinary services, including wellness and preventive care, diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, and urgent care. Our goal is to provide exceptional medicine while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

Located in the heart of Seabrook along NASA Parkway, we are surrounded by a vibrant community with plenty to offer. Seabrook is known for its charming historic district, waterfront dining, and scenic hiking and biking trails. Outdoor enthusiasts will love Pine Gully Park, a 52-acre coastal preserve that is part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. The nearby Lakewood Yacht Club hosts the renowned Keels & Wheels classic car and boat show, and the Seabrook Festival of the Arts brings local artists and musicians together each year. Plus, we're just a short drive from the excitement of Houston and the space exploration history of the Johnson Space Center.

If you're looking for a practice where you can grow your skills, be part of a supportive team, and enjoy a thriving coastal community, we'd love to meet you!
