Corpus Christi Pet Memorial Center

About Corpus Christi Pet Memorial Center

Corpus Christi Pet Memorial Center is a family-owned business located at 1534 Holly Road in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was founded by local businessman John Gibson, who identified a critical need for dignified, local end-of-life pet care in the area. The center has been serving Texas pet families with compassion for over a decade, and it was built in loving memory of the founders' own pets — Bobo, Bluebell, and Daisy — ensuring every animal that comes through the door is treated with the same personal care. The center advises pet owners that their veterinarian may use an out-of-town cremation service by default, and encourages families to specify Corpus Christi Pet Memorial Center when making arrangements to keep their pet's care within the local community.

The center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is particularly meaningful during a time when pet loss can happen at any hour. Regular facility hours run Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with on-call service available at all other times (a $50 callout fee applies after 7:00 PM). Reviews from families highlight the personal, hands-on care provided by John and his team — including the gentle way remains are received and the thoughtful touches like wildflower seeds included with returned cremains.
