Dessau Veterinary Clinic - Sheepadoodle - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

Excellent service, and they truly care about my cats. I'm not sure about some of the negative reviews--people have different personalities and experiences. What matters to me is that they consistently show up to help my pets and do so at a reasonable cost. I appreciate this clinic more than others I've tried, and I've recommended them to several people. read more

Dessau Veterinary Clinic - Garfield and Nermal - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

Hello! Great Vet Clinic!! Dr. Campbell is a gem. She and her staff are really a delight. They are very knowledgeable, the whole staff. We had moved and needed a new veterinarian for or baby. We lucked out finding Dessau Veterinary Clinic/Dr. Campbell.We would definitely recommend anyone in that area looking for a great Veterinary/Veterinarian Go to Dessau Veterinary clinic. My husband is a traveling Tower crane operator. So unfortunately we moved (again) leading us to fine a new veterinarian. 10/10. read more

It would take too long to explain my experience. Dr Campbell did listen and help my dog but when she was still having problems I saw the other Dr and all that she did was take away the meds that were helping her. She never gave me any advice or help with the reason that i brought her in. Now I still the original problem and the new one and no help at all. Over two hundred dollars and no real help, just someone who is either overworked or just doesn't really care. I won't be going back read more

AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. The vet techs were all wonderful, but that's the only positive thing I could say. The vet Dr. Campbell has the WORST bed side manner of any vet I've ever met. Instantly was combative and unpleasant. Even the vet techs made a comment about how difficult it is to work with her. I've been to a dozen vets in my life and this was the ONLY one that I've had a hard time working with. Please, for your own sake go to a different vet! read more

I have a strong, passionate, love for pets. I do not tolerate any sort of pet abuse or disregard of their feelings. I would not recommend this place. Veterinarian Campbell comes off as very arrogant and rude. If you do not Genuinely want to provide care with love or treat pets with respect as they should then you shouldn't be a vet. I do not want to divulge on my experience for the sake of wasting any more time than I have already typing this much. Just do yourself and your pet a favor and go elsewhere. You will not feel cared for nor will you feel your pet is in good hands. read more

I'll never go back to this clinic again! I've been a customer for over 20 years. I recently boarded my elder dog, as I needed to leave town. I felt that he would be safe there. He wasn't. I received a call that my dog was found with blood & feces in his cage, and his head in the water dish. He had a large gash over shoulder...an open wound. Was he attacked by a dog? Did his arm catch in the cage? Nobody knows. He was just discovered in this shape the next morning. No one cares for the animals after 6pm. Since this vet has been taking care of my dog, & is being treated for an ailment, he should have been monitored closely. Don't board your pet here. Also I had to have a friend pick him up because I was out of town & the vet said they close at 12 noon Saturday read more

I waited a few days before leaving this review, because I have been livid for 3 days. 1st: I have a 6 month rescue. I don't know what his life was like before we found him abandoned on the side of the road. My heart breaks every time an animal is left at the shelter. So I adopted him. Trying to do the right thing. 2.He gets very anxious when he is around people he doesn't know. I'm his safety net. Put those two things together and you have a high energy anxious puppy. So how dare you, come out to my car and scold me, and tell me that my dog needs obedience school and at 6 months he should be better. He's in training but he has work todo. And I, a paying customer, am doing my best. How dare you! I've told everyone I know about this. If you have a hyper, anxious rescue, don't bring them here. They shame you. Never will I ever be back. read more

$475 for two small dogs rabies vaccine. Literally. They add on and add on for no reason. Healthy young dogs. Sadly they lost my business. After decades of loyalty, it's just too much too many times. They tell you one price on the phone then after a quick visit they hit you with an outrageous bill for NO reason whatsoever. Very sad. Would recommend going any place else. read more

Sadly this clinic no longer does euthanasia. They want you to take your dying beloved animal somewhere else to be put down. They only want to care for your pet UNTIL the dying end. read more

We came in from out of town with our dogs to visit family in Pflugerville. Our pug needed some grooming/minor medical care and didn't want to take her to one of the chain box pet stores, we found Dessau Veterinary Clinic here on Yelp. We called in the morning and Dessau Veterinary Clinic was happy to see us that afternoon. When I got there they took us right to an exam room and did the procedure along with a nail trim for both our dogs. The Vet Techs were very helpful, friendly, kind, and most of all caring for our pups. They took great care of them!! The office was quiet and most of all clean. We are so happy we now have a place to go if our babies need any help while in the area. read more

Precovid, I took my senior mix breed dog to this vet at the urging of my husband because it was near our new home. I regret not doing my due diligence. Previously, I had gone to the same vet at the vet practice for the last 20 years & this vet had recently left the practice. It made no sense to continue going to them due to the distance as well. So, I brought my dog here for his semi annual visit. I should've picked him up and left when they took his temperature anally via a digital thermometer. But, I had faith that it would get better. It did NOT. The vet, Dr. Campbell, did not stay in the room long enough to be engaged with me during my visit. She left and returned momentarily to ask questions and admonish me. I have a senior dog. He has health issues. KNOWN health issues. I am transparent about them, what I've done, and what I know about them. I did not feel seen or heard about them or about what was going on with him. I felt very judged about my perceived inaction regarding his health. I cried all the way back to my home that day and couldn't believe that a vet like this exists. It was traumatic for me. I recently transferred to another local vet for vaccinations (rabies), titers and bloodwork. Even through a distance visit due to covid, I had a completely different experience. I felt heard and valued as we worked through a plan together for my senior dog's health. I write this review in retrospect as I have a new respect for vets, vet techs and vet care for my senior dog. read more

Absolutely wonderful staff. We were visiting from out of town and our basset hound Buddy needed some stitches removed that I thought I could handle myself. Once I took a closer look I thought "no way I'm doing this..." so I checked Yelp and called these guys. "No problem, bring him in" they said So my wife took him in and they saw him right away. They took really good care of him in minutes and he was on his way. If I lived in Austin this would be my vet! read more

So much love for this clinic! The entire team at this place is fantastic, they are so kind and great at what they do. I chose this place to get my boxer/bully mix chuck spayed and I'm so happy I did. I will definitely be coming here for all of my vet needs and would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I loved the fact that I was able to be in the room with my dog during our initial visit and when we came back to get her staples out after her procedure. I also chose to have the procedure done on a monday because they offer a discount on that day which I thought was really cool. And I can't say enough about how great all of the staff were there. They were super informative and helpful after the surgery and showed chuck so much love. I was a bit nervous just because Chuck is a super high energy dog but they made every visit so comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you so much dessau vet clinic ! read more

I could not be happier with the service I received during my first visit to Dessau Veterinary Clinic. After discussing my fur baby's symptoms over the phone to my original vet's office, they suspected my little one had a UTI. But they were too busy to see me right away and recommended the VCA Anderson Mill Animal Hospital. That was almost two hours I'll never get back. After their failed attempt to get a urine sample at the end of a clawed stick, I left there with a tiny urine sample container, $55 lighter and very upset that my little one was still suffering. Luckily, a good friend had recommended Dessau, so I headed there next. With tears streaming and my little one in hand, I explained what I had been through and that I just needed a urinalysis and some antibiotics for my dog. We were ushered into an exam room right away and things started to happen. My little one was examined, painlessly cathed, and a urinalysis was done. They were very attentive and understanding. Everything was explained and I was sent on my way with meds and a great sense of relief. What a great team!! Needless to say, Dessau is now my new vet. YAY!! Thank you, Dessau, for your patience and compassion. I will never forget it! read more

After taking my 3 dogs to Dessau Veterinary Clinic for 5 years, when I ordered their heart worm preventative medication online as I always do , I was informed that the request for approval was denied by Dr. Campbell, because it has been 2 years since we had heart worm screening done by them. Dessau did not contact me I had to call them to find out why the meds had not been sent! Disgusted with them and this is not the only problem that we have experienced.. My dogs didn't like them either! read more

Dr. Campbell and team are AMAZING. I haven't had any surgical experiences with them (let's hope I don't) but they've taken really good care of my two pups since I've started going to them. We found out that my lab mix is allergic to many things and they put her on apoquel. It was a huge trial and error process. They recommended taking an allergy test, downside is that it is very costly. I took the shot on taking the test and I am very glad that I did so. We found out that Luna was allergic to her food. DVC cares about you and they work with you regarding finances and caring for your pets. They're very straightforward and give lots of tips on fixing any underlying problems. I personally do not feel like they're trying to make money off of me or will lie to me about my dogs. My two dogs are handled very well and the staff remember my pups! I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing... I love going here. My dogs though... maybe not so much! Great job DVC team read more

Dessau Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

The staff was very friendly, and their boarding facility is affordable and nice. I went to this vet when I first got my dog because it was close to my home and Austin Pets Alive had them on an approval list for vets that would give my dog her free check up. This was in 2014, but I keep receiving emails reminding me of the experience I had here. My dog had lost about 10 pounds since I had adopted her and when the vet came to look at her she just got very stern with me about how skinny my dog was. I had never had a problem with any of the pets I've had and had no idea what to do, but she didn't really give me any tips or ask about any other problems I had with the dog. I never went back because I wasn't offered any help with it, just blamed for her weight loss. I am a very experienced pet owner, so to be treated like I was first time pet owner, had just adopted this dog for selfish reasons, and was torturing it wasn't helpful. I know this wasn't the doctors intention, but this is how I was made to feel. I uped her food intake to 4 cups a day (Because naturally thats what you would do if someone told you your dog needed to gain weight) with a can of dog food daily just to get her to eat it, all first ingredient meat mid grade dog food and it kept her at 65 pounds with incredible difficulty. Just getting this dog to eat is hard enough; I could drop a steak on the ground and she would consider eating it. Then I took her to Corner Vet in East Austin and talked to them about it and they gave me some real help(and a beer), offered me some probiotics noting it could be some intestine disorder, and discussed that some dogs just are naturally skinny. Turns out she gets colitis. I think this clinic could've improved my experience if they had been more diligent in figuring out why my dog would've lost that much weight that quickly instead of placing direct blame on me. It wasn't helpful to me or my dog. Providing good experiences at vets for both the pet and the owner is crucial if we want people to keep caring for their animals the best way possible. read more

I'm no longer bringing my cat here. Today was the last nail in the coffin. My cat has upper respiratory problems and they have recommended that we do a procedure where we can finish out her nasal passages and we were told we can do it when we feel she needs it. My poor cat hasn't eaten since before midnight last night in preparation of the procedure and it is now after 5pm and no one gave my cat any food or treats. I was also not called to be notified that she was ready to be picked up. Dr. Campbell called me shortly after I dropped her off and her tone dripped with condecension and frustration about how this procedure wasn't needed afterall. The service here is very inconsistent and I don't expect anyone to remember anything about my cat, but I would appreciate if things were actually written down so I'm not being asked the same questions over and over, or told the same things that I already know. Don't waste your time at this office read more

Love the team at DVC! They are so sweet and helpful. My skittish, anxious and slightly rude chihuahua was loved so much that he can't wait to go back! This is our new Home Vet for sure! read more

After buying a house in NE Austin we finally got a dog. We were looking around for a new vet and decided to try this one since it's so close to our house. Our new puppy and older cat became immediate patients here. And they are AWESOME. We've since acquired another dog and cat and now all 4 are patients at Dessau. The first dog has gotten a lot of day boarding here and the staff was always great about bringing their dogs in to play with him. They've seen him since he was a puppy and he just loves it there. They were also great when our younger dog had some complications. Dr. Campbell and her staff are just fantastic, especially Nikki and Amy who are very familiar with our dogs. Very highly recommended! read more

Friendly attentive staff. Called late and they booked an appointment for my kitten next day no problem. They treated us with the utmost care and dignity, and were happy to help with my financial situation. 10/10 would recommend read more

Outstanding service! My cat Minnie has a swollen paw and had to get it checked out , in an matter of minutes my doctor fixed the problem in no time ! read more

Horrible service. Established patient, called for urgent issue, i.e. bloody diarrhea and vomiting blood, and told they could see him next week. They are too busy to see their patients. I work in healthcare and know that there is always an amount of time in a schedule for urgent issues. I called first thing in the morning, it wasn't off hours. They ask you to take your pet to the emergency hospitals which charge DOUBLE what vets charge - have to wonder if there isn't a little bit of a kickback there, huh? Really, really, REALLY disappointed - this has happened to me twice. In the past I recommended this clinic but never again. It's really not a vet clinic, it's an animal wellness center which only sees your pet when it's convenient and they can schedule it. Disgusting!!!!! read more

What an absolute waste of time and money. My senior dog jumped off the couch and hurt himself. We weren't sure if he pulled a muscle or something more serious happened like a slipped disc in his back. He is obviously in a lot of pain though. Upon first seeing our dog, Dr. Campbell said she was confident he had kidney disease and she wanted to do the lab work to confirm this. We agreed to the blood work even though it really had nothing to do with his injury. The lab results showed he in fact, does NOT have kidney disease. Dr. Campbell barely touched our dog and did not palpate his body looking for the site of the injury. He was visibly trembling in pain and she pushed for lab work to be done to rule out kidney disease?!? Make it make sense. $500 later, we were given some pain meds and sent on our way. We still have no clue what is wrong with our dog so we have made an appt with another vet who we feel is more qualified to assess what is going on. Also, just an FYI -- none of the staff (including Dr. Campbell) wears a mask in the office. That should have been my first clue that this vet is not a critical thinker nor an evidence-based practitioner. read more

I took in a stray recently that needed a good grooming badly. Yorkie mix. Emancipet helped me get started on vaccinations and such. For grooming needs I tried Petsmart and a small independent groomer but neither could get past a nail trim. My current vet (for cats) does not have grooming services so I thought I'd try Dessau Vet Clinic first since they DO have grooming services. I discussed her situation with the staff and was ready to go with sedation as I was DESPERATE to get my dog groomed. I received a call a few hours after I dropped her off expecting them to ask for permission to sedate her but much to my surprise they told me she was done! She looks great! On top of all that I felt the cost for flea/tick/heartworm prevention was reasonable. DVC will be our long term vet. AND, we'll start taking our three cats there, too! read more

Dessau Veterinary Clinic - My matted mop of a dog is beatiful! Who knew? Thanks DVC for the makeover! - Veterinarians Near Me - Austin, Texas

The staff was AWESOME!! I had called in the morning and they were able to get my kittens in same-day due to a cancellation they had. I arrived a few minutes early to the appointment and I could tell they were very busy but everyone was helping out. They apologized for the craziness and told me it would be a few minutes because they had a lot of emergency walk in's. I didn't mind the wait, it really was only a 5-10 minute wait. Dr. Campbell was AMAZING, she went through everything with me. Explained what normal behavior is, walked me through the kittens' medical records (they were adopted from Austin Pets Alive!) she also recommended a few tricks to get the kittens into good behavior. Absolutely loved her thoroughness and will recommend this clinic to everyone. read more

I called and made an appointment for my cat because she was refusing to use her litter box. Normally this means a UTI. I arrived at little late, only to discover that I was at the wrong place. I'm new to the area and could only remember the vet was on Dessau road. The woman laughed with me at my mistake and said the doctor could fit me in if I could wait a few mins. I gladly agreed and sat down to wait. The Dr came out shortly and finished discussing follow up with the previous pet mom. She turned to me and smiled a huge smile and welcomed me back to the treatment room. My cat rolled around and acted likes she's never received any attention in her life as the doctor felt her stomach and bladder. They ran the urine test which came back negative and then we talked about stresses that could be causing the box issues. We talked for a good 20 minutes about how to help my cat. It cost me a decent chunk of change for the tests, but not more than any other vet. I would gladly pay it again for the sincere caring that I received. My cat was happy to get all that attention too. THANKS!!! read more

Very compassionate staff and top notch care from the veterinarians. They worked me in for emergencies, boarded my elderly corgi last minute and took the best care of him the last few weeks he was alive. I'm so grateful for the care we received. read more

This is by far the best veterinary clinic I have EVER been to. Every time i'm in I have nothing short of a five star experience. I would get them 10 stars if I could. The clinic has a very warm, and welcoming environment for both myself and their patients. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and informative in regards to the visit with my doggos. Most importantly they treat my animals as if they were their own. Major kudos to the techs who always put my dogs and I at ease. They have gained a loyal customer for life. read more

The Yelp 2 star is "Meh. I've experienced better." and it's true. I hate to do that to a clinic that has good reviews thus far, but my experience as a long time dog owner leaves a good deal to be desired. My boys needed their vaccines and are in otherwise good condition - they were able to fit me in same day which was great. The clinic is clean and spacious enough for a few "patients" to be there at once. I filled out the one sheeter and was moved to a room. I provided the boy's records and waited patiently. The records were lengthy and there was no summary, so they had to go through them. However, what I experienced with the vet tech shuffling back and forth between me and the veterinarian was ridiculous. The vet (Dr. Waage) could have easily (and more conveniently) just come in and discussed the records with me. Instead the poor vet tech was left to provide feedback between us and I left to overhear the vet's responses immediately outside of the room. Long story short they don't recognize breeder/at home vaccinations - which I get - but is ridiculous if I have them recorded by a reputable breeder. So that annoyed me, and took longer than it needed to. The vet tech then came in with a trainee tech to take the fecal/blood draws. The tech was supposed to be showing the trainee how to do so - but couldn't even manage a blood draw (...on a hairless chinese crested). She had to attempt several times which no one wants to watch their dog go through. It was unnecessary. Next dog up (hairy Tibetan Terrier) and she *doused* the boy's arm in rubbing alcohol - so much so that I had to squeeze it dry after she was done - in excess. A normal person would have picked a spot and used a cotton ball. She had similar trouble with the blood draw. That poor trainee. The vet then came in and things were...clinical. Nothing good or bad really. No real interaction with the dogs, no insights, just the checklist. When I went to pay and leave there were several folks in the waiting area and things appeared unorganized with several staff members there. I was going to get the one boy groomed, but was just too annoyed to even ask at that point. (Two well checks, Rabies (3yr), Heartworm test, and Dis/Parvo (one) cost $290 Overall - will I go back? No, I will look for a warmer, more professional clinic. Would I recommend? Meh. read more

I can't thank this clinic enough for their help. My dog became very sick and was dieing. The vet did everything she could to try and save my dog but he was too sick. I made the decision to put him down and the vet was very supportive. She made my dog feel comfortable in his last moments and the procedure was quick. The staff was very professional yet consoled me in my loss. I will refer anyone to this clinic for their pet's health care. read more

I got a new puppy from a breeder and was recommended by a friend to this clinic. I made an appointment for 5:30 pm since I work 9-5 every day and got stuck behind an accident. they close at 6pm and I arrived at 5:55pm. I felt terrible and said I could reschedule but the office staff and vet were friendly and said no we can see your puppy now (!! so great). They stayed late and didn't seem to rush through all the questions I had about training and shot schedules. I even had a question about her eyes as she kept running into things and the vet took the extra time to do some research for me behind the office. They are more affordable than most vets in Austin (I believe the people complaining about price either have never been to a vet before or are use to using Austin's low cost subsidized animal care center) and provide preventative protection through a special pharmacy called roadrunner for cheap continuous preventative care for ticks and fleas. I will be returning and am very happy with their competency and service! Having a single vet is extremely important for your pet and I'm happy I found mine with my first visit. Wellness exam was in the $60 range and the fecal exam was $19. I didn't need shots so that was about everything - they provided me with a one month flea and tick prevention for free, puppy treats for free, some brochures about dog food and preventative care, and 5 training tips for difficult dogs. I didn't really need these as I have another dog but the gesture was nice. read more

I am so thankful that we found this vet clinic. I was rushing to find somewhere to have my dog looked at for possible lymphoma. When the results came back, they were extremely detailed when telling me about the cancer, the prices of everything and the possibilities of how long she would survive. They were honest and made me feel reassured. Dr. Kampbell kept in touch, would call back when I had questions and even helped me with needing help figuring out if it was my dogs time or not. This morning I took my dog in to be put to sleep due to cancer eating her body. Dr Kampbell was so warm and generous. So was Mary (the vet assistant). They allowed me time to spend with my dog, and Mary made me a paw printed Londen's paw. I just can't begin to brag enough or thank them enough for their compassionate hearts. Thank you! read more

I found this vet on Yelp and a friend also recommended this place. I just needed to get my dog's nails trimmed, so I called and made an appt. Once we arrived they took us to one of the rooms and I filled out the paper work while the techs worked on his nails. They both were so sweet with my dog, and myself. I loved that I didn't have to wait an hour, like most other vets, and the nail trim was a great price. They had several dogs staying there, and liked that they were all loose in the back yard to play and nap as they please, and not caged. They also do grooming. An all in one stop shop for all of your pet care needs! I will go back when its time for his boosters and will give another review for an update. The first visit was very enjoyable and I don't really see how it would be any different. read more

Everyone here was so nice and friendly! I took my baby here after having an accident to the head the night before and Dr.Campbell was so sweet and concerned! Thank you for your services! read more

I drive all the way from Leander to bring my precious to see Dr Kellee. Babygirl has had 2 surgeries and I would not trust her care to any one else. They are really a great Veterinary clinic. read more

Wow!! I'm in love with this place. I've had pets for 32 years and Dr. Campbell is the best I've seen. She was straight up about my dog's issues, but in a polite manner. I thought I needed surgery to remove a growth in between my new senior dog's toes. I was fully ready to spend $700 because I thought it was hurting his paw, HOWEVER, right before I scheduled it, Dr. Campbell came back in and said she didn't think that was giving him any pain and set him up on some arthritis chews and steroids. Her staff was great too!! I'm totally impressed. Customer for life!! I really appreciate the honesty and the professionalism of everybody there. read more

Today I had to take my 15 year old cat to the vet . A new vet for the first time. I was very pleased with the Dr. Female doctor I'm guessing was Dr. Campbell I don't remember if she introduced herself but I was more worried about my cat then her name.. She was very nice and took her time with us. She didn't rush Us in and out like most doctors do. She genuinely cares about the animals and she was very thorough. She made sure she checked everything out and gave me information to take home. She apologized for my wait time in between tests which I did not mind I was there for her service. The technicians were great and very nice and friendly. The vet tech administer fluids without any problems at all and Sassy did not even react to the needle. The office was very clean, and spacious. The dogs outside were very well taken care of and happy. I will definitely go back and take my young man Franklin if he is ever in need. It's nice to know that I found a great vet so close to my new home. I felt the rates were fair though I did have to opt out of 2 more test that I would have liked to have had run to make it affordable. read more
