Austinites: I need a new vet

I'm done with our vet. She's terrible. Simply terrible. I'm just done.

I need a new vet that is caring and is GOOD! We've taken our dogs to the same vet since we've had them. They've had skin irritations and other problems for forever and just this year she tells us to change their food to hypoallergenic. Their new food has made a WORLD of ( Read more... )

I live in north Austin, but my vet is in Cedar Park. I love them. When I was dealing with Willie's (in icon) cancer, they gave me all the options I had, let me choose which one, and did it. They are always patient, they always answer my questions completely. I've been in an exam room for over half an hour because I wanted all the information I could get (this was before Willie's first surgery).

The front desk staff is wonderfully friendly. On a rare occasion they'll be a bit fried, but we all have those kind of days at our jobs.

Oh! And they're decently priced. When we first got Velcro she was tiny and covered in fleas (like, I could actually see them walking across her face). I took her to the vet right down the road from where we lived (which was off Jollyville at the time). They did her exam, gave me her age (which was 5 weeks! Man I was pissed!), and gave me flea stuff, advise, blahblah. The bill was a lot higher than I expected. When I got home I called up our regular vet and told them what had happened, then asked if I could do a price comparison. The girl on the phone and I went down my receipt item by item. Turns out that if I'd gone to my regular vet I would have saved like $35!

If you're willing to make the drive, the name of the clinic is The Cedar Park Animal Clinic. With the new highway into CP it takes about 20 minutes to get there. Even though they're further than you want to go, if you want to call them to get a feel for their staff, their number is 258-2222. Which is another reason why I love them. Their number is super easy to remember! :)

Wow...great feedback. Thank you. Cedar Park is a little far, but might be worth it for "the babies".
