Every staff member I interacted with, from the front desk to the medical assistants to the veterinarian, was compassionate, knowledgeable, and highly skilled. They admitted my 4-year-old dachshund overnight. I've been through overnight emergency stays at other clinics before, and this was the first time I truly felt at ease and confident that they had everything under control. Yes, it's expensive, but that's true of emergency veterinary care anywhere. Thankfully, I had pet insurance, which made the process much easier. They worked directly with my insurance carrier to make sure my benefits were applied correctly and only charged me for what wasn't covered. I highly recommend this clinic when your primary vet can't meet your pet's needs in an emergency.

Our dog Jasper declined rapidly with cancer, and we had to take the tough decision to put him to…read moresleep to limit his suffering. Both of the doctors, and all of the staff at Travis Country Vet were very patient and kind and compassionate, at a very emotional time for us. It was all handled very well. I would say that, like the vast majority of vets, they are allopathic doctors, and don't promote holistic means as much as I think is warranted. E.g., a few years back Jasper was lame and they gave us our options for surgery. I must say they were very even handed, noting the pros and cons. Instead I gave Jasper the Chondroitin Sulfate I was taking and in 3 months he was back to his normal self, running around. :-) So always do your own research for holistic alternatives to surgery, or drugs. Overall a great place to take your fur-baby.

I forgot my phone at home so I don't have pictures to share but from the moment we walked into the office I felt comfortable. The waiting room is inviting and warm. The receptionists are friendly and there are snacks and a drink fridge!! They have great artwork all around the lobby and patient rooms. I am a plant lover and the room is filled with everything from pothos to monsteras. I did give the pothos by the tv a little drink; it was thirsty. Dr. Lawton is knowledgeable and thorough. She answered all of my questions and left me feeling like Roxie was in great hands. We have a plan moving forward and that puts me at ease. Roxie is 15 and overall very healthy. They even found a gap in the leptospirosis vaccine that Roxie has been getting forever. My previous vet's office (which rhymes with Shmestlake Animal Hospital) let her lepto vaccine lapse so now Roxie needs this shot and another one in three weeks. :( They even give you a bottle of wine for being a new patient/customer. Nice touch! :) I'm so happy Roxie has a new home at Firehouse. Your pet will be happy too!

Firehouse Westlake has been so fantastic with the care of our 20-year old calico cat, MayBea. From…read morethe time we noticed our senior cat had an ailment to our ultimate decision to have to say goodbye, we were given such great care. After a week of Maybea being gone we received a lovely and heartfelt condolences card from Dr. Bonnet that was handwritten. We could not have been happier with the gentle care and honesty we received at Firehouse Westlake. We were very happy to have been cared for and by Dr. Bonnet and Dr. Dillon and their staff as they were always professional, honest, and sincere. Technicians were so thorough and communicative on every step they needed to take with our pet and her care. They were so kind to us at such precious moments and decisions. The transparency of cost and the estimated time for medicine/pickup that was communicated to us at the get was spot on. We had no delays or disappointments in the meticulous care Dr. Bonnet provided. Having a 20-year old senior cat can present challenges (besides her being a spicy/mean cat) and added stress for vet visits. Dr. Bonnet really cared for us and provided professional and honest opinions in determining care for Maybea. Scheduling appointments via the app and/or calling in to speak with staff was always friendly and kind. The waiting rooms and exam rooms were very welcoming for us and our cat when we came to visit for appointments. Parking is super easy and they have about 6 parking spots that are dedicated to any pet family coming in which we appreciated. Now as our kitty has passed on my partner and I promised each other that we will no doubt make Firehouse Westlake our center point for care with our next and new pet. Thank you to the entire pleasant, kind, and caring staff at Firehouse Westlake. We truly appreciate your kindness at one of the most challenging and difficult times in our lives around our pet's health. Thank you!

PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THIS CLINIC WITH YOUR PET'S LIFE. Look up Modern Animal Inc on BBB.org for…read moretheir rating and complaints. Please don't believe any comment they post in response to my review. Look at the picture evidence I posted, and read every negative review you can find online about them because these are not just small mistakes they are making with people's pets. My dog could have lost his vision or experienced other injuries so if I can help save your pet by you not going here, then some good has come from this. Modern Animal scheduled an emergency appointment, instructed me to medicate my dog, and then abruptly cancelled on us. They told us they are trauma informed but in my opinion they operate more like a private equity vet. We were loyal patients here for a couple of years, and this was shockingly the third major negative incident I experienced with them. They are responding with a long comment blaming my dog and me. They can lie all they want but proof is proof. The Incident: I contacted them about an eye injury. They told me to schedule an urgent appointment and confirmed our appointment twice. They instructed me to give my dog medications with strong sedative properties (one of which is a Schedule V controlled substance in several states) to prepare him for sedation if needed. AFTER I administered these medications, they abruptly cancelled the emergency appointment. Even though they had just told me it was urgent, now they were telling me I could bring him to see a different vet at another location on Monday which was DAYS away. Because of their cancellation, I had to rush my dog to an outside emergency vet hospital to treat him. The emergency vet staff was deeply concerned and alarmed that Modern Animal staff had instructed me to medicate my dog and then turned us away. (see chat photos) The Excuses: When I asked for answers, management gave me four different, conflicting excuses: 1. They claimed he hadn't taken the meds the night before--which makes no sense for an acute, sudden emergency. 2. They claimed "continuity of care," which was instantly debunked by their own scheduling options. 3. They attempted to blame my dog by claiming he was aggressive (he is anxious), when his medical records from the last two years explicitly state he is a pleasure to work with and they told me he could see 2 other doctors at their other location on Monday. 4. A manager called a few hours later and left a voicemail saying I refused to see certain doctors, which contradicts two lengthy phone calls I had with scheduling. I clearly stated I would see anyone available because it was an emergency. Locked Records: After I raised all of this with them, understandably upset and panicked about the risks to my dog's health, they told me I could not go to that location anymore but could still take my dog to their other location. A few weeks later, they quietly cancelled our annual paid subscriptions for all of our pets without consulting or informing us. My bf called them asking why one of our prescriptions was being denied/not filled. Then they completely locked us out of the app, blocking our access to my dog's medical records and our chat history. I ended up asking my dog's previous vet to request his records. Giving meds with sedative properties during an acute eye injury without immediate veterinary supervision can mask critical symptoms and put a pet at immense risk. Bottom line, I was told to give these types of meds to my dog and then they refused to provide him with emergency care after having already accepted his appointment and telling me it was urgent he be seen asap. If you love your pets and want them to receive safe, ethical medical care, I recommend you avoid Modern Animal at all costs.

My nearly 10-year-old Cane Corso, Oso, needed a large mass removed from near his bladder. Once it…read morewas discovered, we couldn't afford to wait, as any additional growth could have caused urinary retention and other serious complications. Our veterinarian in Bastrop referred us to Ace of Spays, and I am so grateful she did. Given the size and location of the mass, this was not a simple procedure. From our very first phone call through Oso's surgery and recovery, every member of the team was absolutely fantastic. Everyone we spoke with--both on the phone and in person--was compassionate, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about our dog. They communicated with us every step of the way and kept us informed throughout the entire process, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Oso has separation anxiety and can be quite vocal when kenneled. When I arrived to pick him up, I could hear the staff talking to him in calm, reassuring voices and treating him with such kindness. As a pet owner, that meant the world to me. Their facility was also clean, organized, and welcoming. Oso is now home and recovering beautifully. We couldn't be happier with the care he received. As an added bonus, the cost of his surgery was roughly one-third of what we had been quoted elsewhere, without sacrificing the quality of care. They even offered to trim his nails while he was under anesthesia, which we greatly appreciated. If we ever need a veterinary surgeon again, Ace of Spays will be our first call. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled, compassionate, and affordable surgical care for their pets. Thank you, Ace of Spays, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy.

I loved that I was able to complete all paperwork from my end online prior to my dog's appointment. It turned out that rather than a tumor it was an atypical cyst that was much more difficult to remove especially because of its location (near some major blood vessels). Immediately after the surgery I received a call from the vet with a detailed description of the surgery and how our dog did. I had an opportunity to ask questions and all were answered thoroughly. After discharge, I received a text the next day,asking how our dog was doing. I also received a call from the vet at one and two weeks post op. It was a fairly log drive to get there but I would gladly make the trip if we ever needed their services again. Of If I could give more than five stars I would do so. They were wonderful.

Please read if your dog is large or deep-chested…read more This review is long overdue. The loss of my dog was profoundly painful, and it has taken me a long time to find the words to share this. I brought my 12-year-old Lab to this clinic after she began collapsing for no clear reason. The vet said he could see nothing wrong with her aside from her known diabetes-related issues and intermittent blindness. He said she appeared to him to be fine. Not long afterward, my dog suffered an acute emergency and died from gastric dilation-volvulus (bloat). Her death was extremely painful and traumatic. I have since learned that unexplained collapse can be one of the early warning signs of bloat, particularly in large or deep-chested dogs, and that there are preventive procedures that may be available. I wish I had been given any guidance about this risk and the options available. I am writing this out of responsibility to other pet parents. If your dog is at higher risk for bloat, I urge you to ask very specific questions and seek additional opinions. I hope sharing our experience helps another family avoid the pain we went through.
