Meet Our Team
Conroe, TX
Welcome to Horizon, Montgomery County’s most affordable premier, cutting-edge veterinary clinic! We’re thrilled to introduce our unique practice and the services we offer to Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, Magnolia, and Montgomery.
Dr. Rainer — veterinarian, founder, and chief visionary on a mission to make high-quality pet care both personal and possible. At Horizon Veterinary, we’re pioneering Accessible Care — a bold, tech-forward system that tears down traditional barriers by combining transparent care, extended hours, and an open-concept layout.
Horizon is a family-owned, private practice, in the process of receiving its AAHA Accreditation, offering routine services such as vaccinations, wellness exams, sick/injured exams, spays/neuters, dental procedures, and general surgeries. We also provide elective surgeries and advanced specialty procedures, many of which are performed by our board-certified surgeon in-house.
While we care for common sick and injured pets, we also handle more complicated cases. Horizon has teamed up with a national network of veterinary specialty consultants, to pilot a program that allows your Horizon family vet to work with multiple board-certified experts, helping to manage costs and increase access to care.
We offer multiple payment options, including affordable payment plans alongside traditional pay-at-time-of-service methods. We’re not just running a clinic. We’re building trust, mentoring future leaders, and proving that when kindness leads and access supports it, everyone — pet, client, and team — wins.
If it can fit through the door, we'll vet it — better. And that’s Horizon!
