Before You Go

What it’s actually like with a dog

Dogs allowed is only the start. When we haven’t verified something, we say so instead of filling the gap.

Dog policy: Full-service veterinary care for dogs and cats — wellness, vaccinations, in-house x-rays and lab work, surgery, and dental care. Call for an appointment.
Patio / outdoor details: Not yet verified
Water: Not yet verified
Shade: Not yet verified
Best time to visit: By appointment during clinic hours.

Notes: Long-standing full-service vet; call for appointment.

Dog policies, hours, and availability can change. Verify directly before visiting. In a Central Texas summer, skip hot pavement in the middle of the afternoon even if the listing looks good on paper.
