Best veterinarians in Austin: find options near you

Dr. Spellman is a great vet! He was very kind to my dog and very knowledgeable, he instantly was able to see what was going on with him. The office is very clean , and immediately after my dog came off the table they sanitized it for the next animals. The prices are really good, way better than what other offices charge, and the quality of service was excellent. I highly recommend taking your dog here and I will be definitely coming back for my dog’s annual checkup.

My little one has been treated by Dr. Spellman several times throughout his six years of life, and it’s been the best medical option I’ve found. He always provides prompt, effective, and safe care and treatment for my little Lovey. I am so grateful for his care. Thank you, Doctor.

I love this place. They are very attentive and pleasant. The customer service is excellent. The doctor asks the necessary questions. I have been taking my cat here for years and I appreciate how attentive they are. I hope this place continues to operate the same way because I don’t want to change to another veterinarian.

I had such a pleasant experience with Dr. Spellman. Took my dog there for an annual check up. Service was quick, yet thorough and efficient. Price was transparent. Also had a quick tour to see his F1 cars.

Dr. Spellman is so wonderful! My dog has been nervous typically but she dogs so great here since it’s a smaller office. He is very informative and so gentle with our dog. Very affordable care as well. Definitely recommend (:

Amazing staff and service! Dr. Spellman was clear and up-front about services and cost so there was no surprise at the end of the visit. He also made sure I understood all available options in terms of care and long term planning. The two technicians were friendly and did awesome with handling my dog. The visit was quick and to the point, I appreciate that level of service. I won’t take my dogs anywhere else and I highly recommend.

The Doctor got me in on short notice and was fantastic!!! He was very kind and did a thorough job with my kitten Max. The staff was wonderful also!!!. I love this Vet and recommend taking your pet here 100%.

Dr. Walker, the vet techs, and the office staff are a saving grace to worried guinea pig parents. They are all so caring, gentle, informative, and thorough. I am exceptionally lucky to have found a veterinary center as wonderful as them. Will be recommending this vet to anyone who may need it!

During covid I had to bring my elderly bearded dragon in to be euthanized. I really appreciated the empathy and kindness we were shown in an already terrible and trying time. We received her back in a beautiful wood carved box and a “claw” print plaque.
Since then I have brought our dog and more recently my daughter’s cat who has had urinary issues off and on. Dr. walker and Dr. Hogan have both seen him and are always thorough and knowledgeable about his condition. They also understand the financial burden can be tough and always offer the best treatment plans within my budget.
The vet techs are friendly and always make sure all my questions are answered.
The office is always clean and well stocked with the special food our cat needs.
All around great experience. 10/10⭐

Dr. Rae Hogan and their staff were spectacular at my chinchillas first vet visit due to dental issues. I was quite worried and scared, as most pet parents are, but their friendly staff made those worries disappear. They were so gentle handling my chinchilla. We loved Dr. Hogan’s bed side manner, they were very attuned to my chinchillas physical cues, and gave us the information we needed. He’ll be going back for dental surgery but I’m sure (and hoping) it’ll go smoothly.

(Picture of my chinchilla, Pistachio, outside their office)

Westgate pet and bird hospital has always delivered excellent care to our dog! This time is no different. Dr Hogan was thoughtful, thorough and set expectations for recovery. They were great

I will continue to use this vet. I think they did a more thorough evaluation on my dog than the other vets I have taken him to. The cost was reasonable.

My husband had the difficult chore of getting our cat, Loki Ingram, in for a vaccination. Loki did not want to go, but once they got to WPBH, he calmed down a bit, and decided to cooperate with the process. All the humans involved were lovely, and we appreciate their kindness for Loki. I think next time he may be even calmer.

Dr. Hogan is an exceptional veterinarian who treats my cat, Carlos, with love, tenderness and compassion. Their deep knowledge, calm demeanor, and clear communication make every visit reassuring. I truly trust Dr. Hogan’s judgment and am so grateful to have them caring for my furry family member.

Omg, what a great find. I’m from out of town and had to get my dog checked given blood in stool. They took me in that day, and checked my dog, provided medicine and assured me it probably wasn’t serious. The office is super clean and the staff just amazing! I wish my vet was 1/2 as great as this office. Thank you so much!

I was very pleased with Honnas vet clinic. Dr. & Staff were great & professional. Loved the set up with separate rooms. You are allowed to sit in room with your pet while Dr. & Staff come in & perform most of the procedures in front of you.I was able to take my cat Charlie out of the carrier & let him sit with me. This method takes so much stress off the animal.
I’ve been in Austin 27 yrs & Honnas vet clinic is the Best !
Sent out a group text to all my friends recommending Honnas.
Susan Popp

The whole staff was amazing! We were going out of town on vacation that day, but our 5 yr old tuxedo cat was acting very out of character. Dr Honnas was able to see him that day. She did a complete check up, free of charge! Gave him a clean bill of health, and on vacation we went! We’ll be going back to Dr Honnas for sure!

TAKE YOUR CATS HERE! Best cat vet experience hands down. The kitty room is dimly lit and covered with tapestries and floor pillows. Every single member of the staff was AMAZING. Cannot recommend this place enough!!

I’ve had a lot of problems with vets and my Maine coone cat. Add just about given up faith in all of them.
But I was so happy after our visit yesterday with the way they treated Angel and us that my faith has been restored. The doctor was gentle and kind and I’m happy to say that we will be going back there for all of his needs.
Thank you Honnas for being just what we needed.
We are grateful.

My experience with Honnas Veterinary has been wonderful. They are very attentive and thorough, always willing to answer my questions and provide clear, transparent pricing. The staff genuinely cares about the animals and makes every visit comfortable. The only area for improvement is their communication; they tend to take some time to respond, so a quicker reply would make the experience even better. Overall, I highly recommend Honnas Veterinary for their compassionate care and professionalism. Charming thanks you ❤️

The ladies here at Honnas Veterinary were incredible! I brought my rescue kitty in for a consultation to have him neutered. They provided a very calming and comfortable environment/room for him. The nurse was very skilled and knowledgeable in her field. Dr Honna was very good with my kitty and very gentle with her exam. My review is to assure any other interested pet owners to have the comfort of knowing the genuine care of this facility is the best experience for any animal and owner.

We love Dr Stein’s professionalism and kindness, very hard complement to find in a health professional now days.
The way Dr Stein gets involved with his patients makes you feel confident and respected in every single way.
Dr Stein’s explanation is so clear and easy to understand. He doesn’t put pressure on you to decide to do things on his way instead he gives you all the options out there and you can decide which one u want and which one is the best for your beloved pet. A pet is not just a pet like for same people, sometimes that pet is everything you have to hold on. He is the best oncologist.
He has the best team, very professional and kind.
I will say after we have visited so many Veterinarians AVES has the best team in the whole Austin area.

❤️

As a veterinarian myself I can attest to the wonderful care my little dog received over the holiday weekend at AVES. The ER staff and specialists worked together as a team to get him the emergency surgery he needed, ensure his anesthesia went smoothly, and make sure his pain and anemia were well managed. All while he was an uncooperative patient! Could not ask for more caring and highly skilled people. They constantly deal with people who are stressed and anxious about their pets. I know it’s an incredibly hard job and I’m so glad they are there. Thanks everyone!

We have been going to AVES for about 5-6 years. We see Dr. Sutton exclusively for my dog’s seizure disorder. We love coming to see Dr. Sutton and her team. They are truly the best! They are so responsive with emails. Communication is 100%! Every year we come for our check-ups, they always remember my grumpy little man and have had him very well-controlled. They are very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate to us and everyone we have referred to them. It is worth the drive across Austin! (Picture is after he harassed the poor staff for treats…and inhaled them all)

After several weeks of various vet visits, thank goodness we ended up with AVES — Dr Chiang was the best. The staff and technicians were incredibly kind and supportive. Plus they know what they are doing!! I highly recommend them. Their prices are reasonable, they listen to the clients, and they don’t try to do anything unnecessary. Every interaction we had over the 4/5 hrs we were there and on the phone , was helpful and kind.

After being told by Mission Pet hospital in 2022 in San Antonio that it would be 4 or 5 months to get an appt w/ their oncologist (my dog would be dead by then), i went to AVES. Dr Stein saved my Onyx. He was honest, genuine and I am forever grateful. Unfortunately Onyx has developed diabetes and although my vet is fantastic, this case required a specialist. Enter Dr Schultz and his awesome tech Meredith. They spent over an hour with us explaining everything from A to Z. We have a plan and so far so good! It takes me about 1 1/2 hrs to get there but for specialists and care like this, its well worth it. They are also incredibly fair in their pricing. I expected to pay 3 times what i did. Also, i was so lost trying to get there and Raven at the desk was kind and friendly and helped me make it there in time. Thanks to everyone at AVES!! You guys are amazing!

My sweet puppy went in going septic in his stomach due to an internal stitch coming undone from a previous surgery at a different facility and they gave him a 40% chance at making it. Our primary vet referred us to AVES and they gave him a 50% chance of making it. Dr. Jeremy Fleming was amazing he preformed the surgery needed to give my puppy the best shot. My sweet boy got to come home after spending 4 days at this facility. The level of care he received was amazing. From the front desk staff to his team of Doctors, nurses and techs he was truly cared for and loved on. We live over an hour away and the staff was so kind they allowed us to FaceTime him. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Forever thankful we got our boy back

I was very impressed with this clinic and I would 1000% return. Dr Sutton is insanely intelligent, very personable and you can tell she cares alot of about animals. I knew I could trust her when first meeting her.

I don’t write long reviews, but I am making an exception for this one. Starting from the beginning:

I first reached out via email. I gave them my story with a list of questions. They responded back letting me know they received my email and that the neurology team was out until Tuesday and they would get back to me then. I really appreciated just the acknowledgement.

Tuesday rolls around and I got a reply back to each and every one of my questions, which doesnt always happen. I didn’t have to follow up because they followed through. This solidified my decision.

I have a unique situation because of my schedule, and I made it clear the time was limited and they worked with me to come up with a plan. They called me to schedule, and we hammered out the details and made sure they understood my timeline.

My little girl, Lunabelle is a 7 year old Pug with weakness in her hind legs. We knew she had something going on with her spine, but she needed an MRI first. Dr Sutton was on the same page- we wont attempt surgery if the chance of her being worse or even surviving out weighs the benefits. During her MRI, Dr Sutton called and explained what she was seeing and sent me images so I could understand and we decided we could move forward with surgery. We knew going into it that she wouldn’t be “cured” but the end goal was to help alleviate some of her issues, and prolong her life. We are hopeful thats exactly what will happen. Its too soon to know what her mobility will be long term, but its already looking promising.

Lunabelle was kept overnight for observation and we went to see her the next day. She was already recovering well and Dr. Sutton agreed we could take her home. They went over post op instructions and made sure we understood everything.

Dr. Sutton did a phenomenal job, and the incision looked amazing. Her recovery is going well and I would 100% do it again! Every team member we encountered was friendly, follow up was great, clinic is nice and clean. Communication was excellent. I could go on and on. Thank you AVES for a great experience, we will forever be grateful!!

My best friend Princess (11 yr old Chiweenie) started having a cough then one morning could barely breathe. I brought her here and they immediately took care of her and made her as comfortable as possible. She was in an oxygen tank but they let me sit with her the whole time. Unfortunately Princess had heart failure and her lungs were filled with fluid, I had to let my best friend go that day. Probably the hardest day of my life. They moved us in a room together with an oxygen hose for her so I could spend as much time as I needed and let me hold her when it was time to say Goodnight. There was no rushing me. They helped with all the decisions I didn’t want to make about Urns and such. I finally brought her home today and when I picked her up the staff was so incredible with taking care of her and handling everything. They went above and beyond to take care of me and my girl. I hope I never have to bring another pet to an ER but if I do there is only one place I will ever go. Thank you guys for everything.

We had to take our dog Ollie in late on Thursday 8/14 due to him being super lethargic and feeling a large hard lump in his abdomen. He ended up needing an emergency splenectomy. From the time we walked in, until the time we left (at 4am) the staff at VEG was absolutely beyond incredible. We were able to sit with him the entire time, they explained all the options that we had, helped us with financing, let us bring his toy for him, and even let me nervously pace all night during his surgery until he got out of it. The biggest sign of how amazing they are is that he never got nervous or the anxious shakes at all. The facility is immaculate and large and open, which I feel works wonders on nervous dogs. Every single person that worked there was so knowledgeable, helpful and generous, and we were able to pick him up early the next day and were given everything he would need for his recovery. I cannot recommend them enough. They saved my boy and helped me through a tough night. Thank you for everything!

I took my cat Percy to VEG S. Lamar last night because he was experiencing vomiting and excessive diarrhea. They saw him quickly and treated him with so much care and attentiveness. The team provided medication, special diet cans, and fluids, making sure he was comfortable throughout the process. By the next morning, his face was already starting to look normal again and his energy level was beginning to recover. I’m so glad they knew exactly how to treat him and got it right on point for Percy. I’m very grateful for their compassionate care!

I brought my dog, Monet, here for an emergency visit and left feeling heartbroken and frustrated. She was coughing up foam and blood, breathing heavily, and clearly in distress. The vet only treated her with antibiotics and kept her overnight without doing further diagnostics or addressing the root cause of her rapid decline. By morning, I was told via text that there “wasn’t much improvement” — but in reality, she had declined significantly.

I did appreciate that they provided mobile oxygen so I could safely transport her to another vet. However, I did not appreciate being told I should start considering her “quality of life” instead of pushing for more answers. When I rushed her to Violet Crown, they immediately discovered a large amount of fluid in her lungs, drained it right away, and she finally had relief. To know she was suffering all night while nothing was done and no one reached out to update me is absolutely heartbreaking.

If your pet is in critical condition, please go elsewhere. Emergency care should mean acting quickly and aggressively to save lives, not waiting while they suffer.

I want to thank the hospital that took care of my sweet senior girl last night. I can’t remember names because I was too traumatized by everything happening, but every single person I spoke to was kind, patient, and understanding from the moment I called until the moment I left.

They acted so quickly! I called with my ETA and a very strong, compassionate lady carried my girl inside to get her help right away. Sadly, the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for. Kayce was an older Labrador with health issues, and it was her time to cross the rainbow bridge. I arrived with her by my side, and left with only some of her fur clippings and the hope of seeing her again one day.

From the receptionist, to the vet techs, to the veterinarians, every single one of them cared for her and for my family with so much love. We were given privacy, time, and space to say our goodbyes, and nothing felt rushed. My girl went peacefully, surrounded by care and compassion.

I’m not an expert in ER vet visits (thankfully), but this was one of the most caring hospitals I’ve ever experienced. I truly felt they cared for both pets and people. I’ll always be grateful for the love they showed us on one of the hardest nights of my life.

With an aching heart, I share a smile from the sweetest girl. Kayce says thanks

We arrived at 7 a.m., and our little Brandy (a Chiweenie) was seen immediately. She was treated with exceptional care, and the positive energy from everyone helped soothe her, as well as my husband and me. The doctor, along with the assistants and staff, was incredible. Brandy was given three medications to ease her pain and antibiotics. They also provided us with a bag of goodies to help with her care.

After a painful and stressful pre-24-hour situation, Brandy transitioned into a much more relaxed state.

Thank you all for your professionalism, empathy, and care for Brandy.

This is truly a well-rounded veterinary emergency room! I highly recommend it!

I had an unexpected visit to VEG last Thursday. My old lady Callie had us up all night for vomiting. Very unlike her. I know with her getting older more issues can arise. I’m glad I made the decision to come in to your facility because she needed the love you all gave her. Callie can be a little sassy in her older age and everyone took there time with her and moved at her pace. Morgan welcomed us as we walked through the door, Dr. Sheahan had her hands full with a busy ER. Callie was seen right away to make sure we were stable and find the cause of what’s going on. Courtney was fantastic and made the process of placing a catheter and collecting blood so smooth. Callie did have to be hospitalized for part of the day to receive fluids and pain medication. I know when I leave Callie in a kennel she can start to sing the blues and be a bit disruptive… Dahee and Nora assured me that even if she starts to sing she wouldn’t be a problem. When I came to pick her up she was in her own playpen area with a nurse giving her cuddles, I believe the nurse was Jada. With the circumstances of my visit with what was going on I will return to VEG 100000x over. Thank y’all for being here and providing top notch care for Miss Callie J.

The team at Crestview Veterinary Clinic are out of this world. I appreciated how the clinic touched base with me to ensure my kitty’s medical records were handled accordingly and was relieved to land an appointment so quickly. The team was communicative and transparent, kind and gentle. We look forward to future appointments!

When I got a new GSD puppy I was looking for a new vet clinic. Read reviews about Crestview on Burnet Rd & decided to give it a try. So glad I did! The front office staff have been super helpful. The techs are amazing with my sweet boy! And Dr. Carmona & Dr. Butcher are so knowledgeable & patient with my pup & me! They take the time to fully explain things to me & answer any questions I have. My pup is in excellent care with these 2 amazing vets! Thank you Crestview Vet Clinic! You have gone above & beyond on numerous occasions!

I’m really grateful for the care my dog received at Crestview Clinic. The staff was super helpful and Dr. Kautz was great – he knew exactly what he was doing and gave my dog the right treatment, which was a huge relief. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great vet.

Dr. Kautz and his staff are wonderful. We just started with Crestview after some negative experiences at other vets. He was thorough and gave us plenty of his time and expertise, explaining some of the procedures our four dachshunds will be having. Also, I didn’t feel like we were being overcharged like it felt at other vets. Finally, Crestview has their own pharmacy and we were able to save 65% off the meds we were getting from chewy.com.

This is an amazing clinic. The staff is very accommodating with appointments and flexibility. The clinic is charming and clean.

The part that I appreciate most is how my cats and I are treated — mostly my 2 cats. I can tell the vet techs and Dr. Carmona actually love kitties. Dr. Carmona has a thorough way of explaining pertinent information and draws on quite a bit of experience and anecdotal advice.

I love coming to this clinic because Dr. Carmona and all the vet techs I’ve met have a great sense of humor — which helps when it’s tense bringing your cat to the vet. One of the things I truly appreciate about Dr. Carmona is his ability to truly listen. He is also flexible when ideas are discussed. I can tell he truly loves what he does.

Very nice people…They gave my puppy a well-child checkup, made sure her spay surgery was healing up OK, and updated her shots. I felt like my baby was in very good hands.

I have tried many vets in Austin and this one takes the cake. My little dachshund had IVDD and had to get surgery. They got him in as soon as possible and the vet herself was calling around different hospitals to get us quotes. Without her dedication to my dog, he would not be able to walk. I cannot recommend Crestview enough. And they are upfront and affordable. They actually care about your animals!!!

Dr Barnes and her team are absolutely amazing and I am so thankful for them. They were able to see my girl the NEXT DAY and were so kind to her and explained to me all the steps and treatment needed. All the medicine was well labeled and explained as well. I already knew I would be following the instructions and medications as recommended. I’d only say the area of improvement could be explaining the cost a bit more – but the cost was more than reasonable and fair. I am so thankful for them – truly. Yes, they can be a bit busy but it’s also an emergency facility and they balanced the emergencies that came in while I was there in grace. We were referred for ophthalmology not emergency- but they are great at balancing both departments. Once again – so thankful and really wonderful team from techs to doctor.

While I obviously wasn’t happy that my cat was in such bad shape that she needed to go here, they made it a really good experience. She was in critical condition so they took her in almost immediately and began treatment. My vet didn’t think she’d make it but these doctors didn’t seem to have an issue getting to the root cause and nursing her back to near full health. I’d say the only negative is the price but it’s to be expected with 24/7 care.

Today I had to say goodbye to my beloved pup, Sambo. He was originally my mom’s dog and became mine, and we were lucky to share over 13 wonderful years together. Sambo had been facing several health challenges, and I chose humane euthanasia so he wouldn’t suffer.

The staff at Central Texas Veterinary were incredible—every person, from the receptionist to the nurse and the doctor, showed such kindness and compassion. In the midst of my heartbreak, their care made an unbearable moment a little more peaceful, and I’m deeply grateful for that.

I took my poor kitty here at 1:30 AM. That night, I unexpectedly had to send him across the rainbow bridge. I’ve never done that before and it breaks my heart being without him. This vet office took excellent care of him and were all so kind to us in the process. I am grateful to have had these caring folks to guide us through the process. I even received a handwritten note in the mail offering their condolences. Thank you Dr. Miller and all staff that was there that night ♥️

My pups health took a turn for the worse. The team at Central Texas Vet were kind, thoughtful, and empathetic to mine and my pets needs. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye that night, but I’m thankful to the staff who took care of me and my pup in our last moments. Thank yall for helping me through my first rainbow bridge experience.

Central Texas Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital South Austin gave our dog truly exceptional care after he suffered a tibia-fibula fracture that required surgery. Dr. Krista Adamovich, DVM, performed the procedure and took the time to walk us through every detail with clarity and compassion. Her surgical expertise and thorough explanation gave us complete confidence that our pup was in the very best hands.

Carolyn at the front desk was so kind and helpful, keeping us well-informed and supported every step of the way.After surgery, Bri provided thoughtful and detailed post-op teaching that helped us feel well-prepared to care for him at home. The entire team was incredibly kind, communicative, and professional from start to finish.

We are so grateful for their outstanding care and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing emergency or specialty veterinary services. They are simply the best!

When we first arrived, they happily signed us in if you’re willing to front $1000. Once you’ve fronted the money, they take your animal away to be “put in an oxygen box”, a very pricy and frequently unnecessary step. Then they put you into a virtual holding cell for 3.5 hours until they get around to dealing with your animal. Even after that time, they took a failed xray that didn’t show the actual damage that was done and recommended we leave him overnight so they could fully sedate him and take better x-rays. Their prices start inflated and having him stay overnight so they can “watch” him would of course inflate the price drastically. Afterwards, when they were explaining the course of drugs, the vet was extremely aggressive, rude, and condescending.
According to prior reviewers, this place has gone downhill from what it used to be.
I don’t know how this place is still in business.
There’s a place across the street that’s rated significantly higher. That’s where I’ll be going in the future when I have a vet emergency.

I brought my 17+ year old cat to Brodie Animal Hospital… and they were very fair with me. They did not try to give me all sorts of blood work & unnecessary charges, but just one injection (total visit was less than $175). They said to keep an eye on her & see if she improves by the end of the week. They were VERY KIND, COMPASSIONATE, AND FRIENDLY!!! I certainly recommend them!!!!!

The entire staff, from the front desk to the technicians to the doctors, are all amazing. My dog ended up needing her gallbladder removed which is a very risky surgery and they guided me through the process. She’s a happy, healthy pup that loves going to the vet, and I can’t thank them enough! I highly recommend Brodie Animal Hospital!

The vet assistant and the veterinarian and surgical assistant were all very patient and understanding with my very reactive dog. The staff was expecting her and we were seen as quickly as the doctor arrived. My dog was able to get her teeth cleaned and have some X-rays done during the visit. The staff was straightforward about costs, recommendations and they collaborated well with my dog’s mobile vet. The next day, I received a follow up call. I highly recommend this practice.

Brodie Animal Hospital is very reasonable priced. I’ve brought my cat here for years and started bringing my dog that I recently adopted. They are so sweet and friendly with our pets.

They are wonderful. My 17 year old cat had to have some teeth extracted and I was a wreck worried about him. They took great care of him and he is doing great and everyone was sweet and helpful and patient. thank you so much.

We have taken our fur babies to Brodie Animal Hospital for over 20 years. All of the staff members including techs and doctors have always provided excellent care for our pets. We don’t live in the area anymore but continue to travel there because they truly are the best. Thank you Brodie Animal Hospital!

Incredible experience bringing my cat! They got me in right away. Had a special sensory room for cats!! It had special music and a calming plug in! They gave us a little swag bag with a treat and a toy for being new customers. The doctor took her time explaining things to me and called to follow up with more results the next day. Doctor is knowledgeable. Office staff are so friendly. Vibes are great all around!!! And it was soooo affordable!!! They showed me a break down price estimate of everything before starting any exam and it ended up being considerably cheaper! I’d recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone!

Great staff that welcome your pet (not just you) the moment they step in, to the moment they step out!

Vets are very profissional, patient and competent!

I couldn’t be happier to have my precious Calvin under these professionals care! ❤️

The VERY welcoming atmosphere is what I love the most about this place!

Thank you everyone!

I had a great first experience with the staff. My dog is very timid at the vet, and it’s the most comfortable I’ve seen him in that setting. I also felt that the staff was very knowledgeable and thorough. The overall level of genuine care was really refreshing!

The team at Star of Texas is amazing! Everyone is always friendly to my fur babies and me making us feel right at home. They are very thorough in going over treatments, needs, and answering my questions during our visits. If I ever have a follow up question I’ve never had a problem calling and getting help. The care they take when treating my babies and providing the best care is impeccable!

We have been going to Star of Texas Vet for almost two years, ever since we adopted our boxer-pitbull, Fish, and honestly I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Fish had some bad experiences with vets when we first got him, so I was so glad when we found out that SoT was fear-free certified, because I knew he would require extra care and understanding regarding his anxiety and fear of vets. Everyone at SoT goes above and beyond to accommodate Fish’s needs: making sure the lobby is clear and calm when we arrive, having lots of treats to reward him, being extra patient and taking their time to allow Fish to get acclimated. There aren’t enough compliments to give Fish’s doctor – Dr. Alexander! She really goes the extra mile to figure out how to make Fish’s exams the calmest possible – whether it’s going super slow to help him ease into things, or sometimes when it’s absolutely necessary (like for shots and vaccines) she allows me to accompany him to the back, and we all figure a way to make the process as painless as possible. She’s constantly monitoring whether Fish is over threshold, and is always ok to take a break if she feels like he’s too stressed. The amount of attention and care paid to him brings me so much joy, and gives me confidence that my boy is well taken care of.
We can’t say enough good things about Star of Texas! The fact that we live in north Austin and continue to make the 30min drive each way is testament to how much we appreciate everyone there. Thank you for being such amazing animal caregivers!

I’m so glad we found Star of Texas. I adopted a rescue bulldog who has had so many challenging medical issues from years of neglect. Having a fear free vet is very important to me, because the world can be a scary and untrusting place for him after all he’s been through. The staff was so welcoming and even got my boy a towel when we came in the door since it was storming. He loved that there was a couch in his exam room where he could sit by me haha and lots of treats. Dr Honeycutt was amazing! She and her techs were so friendly and gentle and listened to my concerns. They didn’t force any meds, vaccines or tests that weren’t needed. Dr Honeycutt even offered holistic options since my dog is extremely sensitive and has neurological issues. I got a call the very next day with bloodwork results and imaging findings. I also really love that when I called we didn’t have to wait weeks to be seen. I’m so grateful to have found such a compassionate and caring vet and team for my sweet boy! We’re excited to also get some help with nutrition counseling which they offer as well. I’ve been to many vets in Austin over the years, and I highly recommend this one!

Dr. Alexander and her staff are so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. We appreciate that so much and felt totally heard during our appointment. Our pup is going through a lot of health issues right now and I know he’s a complicated case but they approached the situation with so much empathy and care. That is not something we have experienced at all vet offices so we were so happy. I know everyone is busy and probably stressed but Dr. Alexander and her staff didn’t let that get in the way of showing up with smiles and understanding. We loved our visit!

Thank yall for taking care of my boy during his annual visit / establish care. You truly reflect fear free and made our visit so much better! The level of awareness the doctor and staff had with Bailey was huge in our success of the appointment.

Parker Animal Care is the absolute best! This is the only place I’d trust with my 2 dogs and 3 cats. The front desk staff, Sergio, and Amy are the sweetest and have such great energy. Dr. Parker and Dr. Pocernich are both so knowledgeable and kindly answer all my questions. Vet techs Vanessa, Ty and Janice are equally knowledgeable and so caring with my pets. I have a 15yr old dog who has been seeing Dr. Parker and her team since she was puppy. Their phenomenal care and expertise is a major contributor to my little senior pup’s health and longevity. I also love the special touches like seasonal photo backdrops in the waiting room and visits with Santa! I just can’t recommend this place enough!

We’ve been bringing our dog to Parker Animal Care since she was just a pup, even before the company name change. Nothing but great things to say. The staff is so friendly and caring, the facility is clean and inviting, and the doctors go above and beyond to check on our girl every time. We couldn’t be happier with our vet experiences so far, and can’t recommend PAC enough to any pet owner. Honey says thank you for the extra care and attention!

I was nervous to try a new vet as I just moved to Texas. Parker Animal Cares’ team was amazing. They were so sweet to my sick girl. Very reassuring and knowledgeable! Would 10/10 recommend to friends and family!

Due to my recent animal emergency, I knew without a doubt where to take my pet. The emergency visit, treatment and recommendations for a speedy recovery eased my anxiety tremendously. The compassion and care treatment provided to my precious “Chapis” was exceptional! The fact that they attended to her immediately shows just how much they go above and beyond, not just for my pet, but for all pets. I highly recommend this animal care facility above all.

I have had a great experience at Parker Animal Care with my dog’s teeth cleaning. They called me leading up to the appointment to prepare me, during the appointment to give me an update, and after the appointment to see how she was doing. They were also very transparent about costs. My baby girl is happy!

I cannot stress enough about how much these kind people helped me and my puppy. Dr. Carmo & Vanessa helped me calm down and think clearly about what was going on, Trigger is feeling so much better! This is the perfect place for us, also thank you for working with me on a tight budget to save my babies life.

I always have a quick and easy experience with care at this veterinarian hospital! The front desk staff was super kind and checked me in immediately. The technician handled our booster vaccines very quickly and gave me a sheet with post care information which I found helpful. They always have a cute themed doggie Photo Booth set up as well which we love
