Austin Vet Hospital

Please think twice before going to Austin Vet Hospital if your pet is need of critical care. I've been a client of AVH for the last 6 years for regular check ups for my dog and it has been fine. When I brought my 9 year old in due to lethargy, loss of mobility, and general concern for her health, I was met with it's either cancer or pneumonia. They ran blood work and chest X-ray and it came back negative, so we were sent home paying $800 with no answers. I called the following day and asked for a tick/Lyme check, and that also came back negative. The doctor asked over the phone if I could pay my invoice for that test... all the while I'm stressing and concerned with my pet who is in declining health. Finally, we got a second opinion from a different vet and found that my pet has two snakebites from a rattlesnake. She has now spent 3 days in the pet ICU on an IV drip and with antivenin. Had Austin Vet Hospital been more throughout with my pet, we could have caught this sooner. I will not be returning as a client and recommend others please advocate for yourself and your pet if you do decide to stick with Austin Vet Hospital.

From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We were seen quickly with very little wait, and the entire staff made the visit feel smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, I felt completely confident that my dog was in the best hands. The team was compassionate, attentive, and truly cared about providing excellent care. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!

My lifeline woke up in distress. I was a wreck. A friend took me to her Vet, Austin Vet Hospital. I cannot recommend them enough. They took him in, sedated him, and fixed him. They rang to give me detailed notes on everything they did, and hiw he was doing. That we could pick him up in 2 hours. The next day, they rang to check up on him. Sigh

Austin Vet Hospital’s high quality of care & professionalism are the main reason they are my primary vet now. I tried several others over my 12 years in South & East Austin for my cats. Too many felt automated and lacked humane treatment. For example, some other vets did not follow through on next steps in care. I trust Austin Vet Hospital and find their costs very affordable.

Austin Vet Hospital is my chosen medical care practice for my small Goldendoodle. With plenty of puppy visits for various reasons, I’ve experienced the team to be kind, caring, and responsive.
