    Mac! Breathing easy!
    Hillarie M.

    So thankful to Dr. Harper! He performed soft palate trimming surgery and opened up the nostrils on my little French bulldog! Mac is now breathing easy thanks to TSVS!

    We saw Dr. Kaleb Thomas on Saturday, March 29. Our 13 year old male Miniature Schnauzer had been…read morehaving urinary incontinence, along with other aging problems. Since they were booked, we were taken on a walk-in basis. Dr. Thomas was very kind and patient, answering all my questions. I kind of run on at the mouth, yet he was so patient. Dr. Thomas explained the potential problems, and recommended some tests. He also diagnosed an eye problem that I assumed was just allergies. It's an easy fix with some eye ointment. The vet tech was a total sweetheart. She was very engaging and also a great listener. We talked about the weather differences between the Hill Country and Minnesota. The front desk was very helpful and accommodating. They were efficient and polite. The new building is fantastic! Handicapped parking is close by and there are sufficient spots. I had no trouble smoothly rolling my oxygen machine into the building. It was easy to locate seating with a nearby power outlet for my machine. I didn't mind waiting to be seen - not in such a nice environment! The coffee bar was a welcome surprise, because I didn't have a chance to get coffee before I left our house. When we were led back to the exam room we passed a playroom they have set up for human puppies (children), which I thought was very thoughtful. I would have taken a picture, but hubs gets a little embarrassed when I do that. Trust me, it looks like a lot of fun for kids!

    We are heartbroken to share the loss of our family member cat, Casey, who died after a series of…read morecomplications that we believe began with his neutering at this hospital. We originally brought him here in April 2024 for an ear infection. My husband asked the vet Dr. Lloyd Willis of the possibility of neutering him because he was fighting feral cats. We did think of neutering him before, however we were living on a small Hawaiian island (Molokai) with no good vet access. The Dr suggested neutering, assuring us it was safe -- despite Casey being almost 9 years old, having just moved a couple of weeks earlier from Hawaii to Texas, and with his current ear infection. No bloodwork was done, no one asked if he was fasting or not before sedation and surgery, we were not warned about potential dangers of neutering him after the extreme stress of his move and the possibility of urinary blockages in older male cats -- which unfortunately we learned later are very common, due to the sudden lowering of testosterone levels and narrowing of the urethra. We also were not advised of any diet changes that should be done after neutering. The vet's answer was that it's a routine procedure with very little potential for problems, it would just "calm him down". We are blaming ourselves for not paying attention and blindly trusting the vet. Almost immediately after surgery, Casey's behavior changed drastically. He suffered his first full urinary blockage in June 2024, we took him to the emergency hospital on a Sunday, then three months later he blocked again and we were back at Herbst. He experienced multiple UTIs and blockages and had to undergo PU surgery in October 2024. He didn't recover and blocked again immediately after surgery, if anything the surgery made it worse as he remained regularly blocked and with recurring UTIs for around 10 weeks after surgery. As we know now, by this point it was already too late and he was developing what we later learned was likely cancerous tissue in his bladder. After the PU surgery Casey saw Dr. Caleb Thomas who did his best to help Casey, and we really very much appreciate his care. He suggested that we go to see a specialist at Texas A&M when Casey blocked again in March 2025, there we learned of the extreme abnormal tissue in his bladder. Unfortunately Casey couldn't deal with the almost daily vet visits for catheter and the medications. He chose his own way, at the end of June he stopped eating and on July 2nd 2025 he died in his home, in our arms Despite visiting this clinic nearly every day for 3 months, after our final visit on June 30th when it was clear that he was dying not one person from the hospital followed up -- no call, no email, not a single word of compassion after his death. We emailed them two weeks after he died with an expression of our sadness and concerns. They did not even reply back. That is why we are now writing this review. So while we do very much appreciate one veterinarian here who was kind and helpful, along with several other staff members who we regularly saw post-surgery, our overall experience was devastating. We trusted a doctor who gave poor advice, poor pre-surgical protocols, and the management does not seem to care as they ignored our concerns. We trusted them with Casey's life -- we visited here more than 100 times over the course of 12 months, the process was emotionally and financially exhausting, but far above all Casey paid for this with his life. Please, if you're considering this clinic, ask questions. Insist on bloodwork. Get second opinions. Your animal's life is in your hands. Casey was incredibly strong, healthy and full of life before his neutering. We always called him our "Molokai Warrior"! He was with us from the moment he was born. He was our family, a part of us. Now we question ourselves with regret, guilt, sadness and anger. It was not his time to go, and like every living creature he deserved better. - Ayda & Matt Page

I guess they would also do the same for your family pets. Our situation started when a stray cat decided to have her kittens underneath our deck. The deck is so low to the ground that a person can't get under it. So we fed the momma cat and her babies when they got old enough to eat cat food. She had 5 babies that survived. However, since we live in an area that has many different animals (coyote, bobcat, fox), 2 babies disappeared quickly. We knew we had to do something as the remainder didn't have much time left on earth. My wife checked with the shelters nearby, and unfortunately, they were all full. While my wife was checking where we could take them, the momma cat disappeared. Now we were left with 3 young ones. We are dog people, so we had never thought about ever having a cat(s). But they were so cute, the wife decided we should take them in. However, we did not want any more babies, so we knew we needed to fix them. That's where Hill Country comes in. My wife called them to see if they could be seen any time soon and left a message. They got back to us the next week, discussed what we could do, and set up an appointment to fix the 2 boys first. The day of the appointment, we got to the business right on time and were able to park right in front of the building. A young lady came out quickly (they don't let anybody inside) and went over everything with us, got us to sign the paperwork, and took the boys inside. Everything went well, and we were able to pick them up late the same afternoon. The only negative about the entire situation is that you are not allowed inside. You don't know anything about how clean it is or anything else. Will we return? When the female kitten gets a little older.

The staff at hill country pet ranch were very kind and accommodating. They assured me that my dog would get plenty of love and he seemed happy and cared for when I picked him up. However, I have to deduct a star because despite having an overall good experience, my dog did come home with a number of fleas. We have him on prevention, so the fleas were dying after biting him, but he was so itchy in the meantime. This was after I had also purchased an exit bath and nail trim. I think this is a fine place to board your dog, but ensure that you have plans to go home and give your dog a flea bath immediately. Plus, throw away any fabric items that may be housing fleas when you get home.

They took the time to personally call me, walk me through everything with kindness and transparency, and truly made me feel heard and valued. It's rare to find a place that not only provides great care for your pets but also treats their clients with this level of respect and professionalism. I was so impressed by their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile. You can tell they really care, and that kind of service makes all the difference. My pup has boarded here multiple times and we'll absolutely continue coming back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hill Country Pet Ranch to anyone looking for a safe, kind, and trustworthy place for their fur baby.
