    Dogs are awesome. They give you unconditional love and just want you happy...well I don't have a dog ,I have a Hatty. She's bossy, rude, hates her paws touched, dog reactive and has arthritis in every joint. She found me 8 years ago just sitting in my truck one morning. A stray. Never really happy wth any vet as nobody really was patient with her until I found White Rock Vet. They always have time, they are patient and kind. Easy on her hips but tough with her attitude. The fabulous Dr Schroeder is hattys dr.but everyone there has helped when we needed it. I will never take her anywhere else. Thank you white rock for always being awesome to my very best friend. Love, Heather, Hatty and Phydeaux

    The Dude thanks the staff for all the love whenever he is in!

    They are very caring and professional. Dr. Parsons and the staff that are amazing and provide the best care available. I highly recommend them.

    I went with my daughter to White Rock Vet for her new puppy's first visit today. The staff was friendly & super efficient from the moment we walked in. We got first Vaccinations, some tests, & little Dagger got lots of loving attention/care. I feel like they are very compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable. I'm happy our breeder gave a certificate for a free first visit & a month of pet insurance. Puppy care is expensive & every dollar saved is appreciated. I feel the charges were fair for the care given today. She told me she will be moving forward with this Vet for Dagger's future care. I'm happy that they're reasonably close to home, & seem equipped to handle anything we'd need help with during normal business hours.

    I have to write another review, this time for Dr. Sandhu. When our regular vet wasn't available, she took over our injured pup's care for several appointments. On top of being kind and helpful, she is really in tune with reading an animal's cues and didn't push her through treatment when she was distressed. Our pup was there most of the day after being dropped off, but it was because she needed frequent breaks as she is old, very nervous at the vet, mildly cantankerous, and in pain from an injury. Thank you, Dr. Sandhu, for taking such gentle, thoughtful care of our old girl.

    Pet in pain

    23 Mar 23 update. I lightly touched my dogs back & he screamed in pain. His appetite is gone. He is having a hard time picking up his leg to pee. 22 Mar 23. Highly upset & now my dog is in pain. I chose this place because of all the positive comments people are leaving here about the care they are receiving for their pets. I had an appt scheduled for my 10yo dog on 17 March for wellness & shots. Prior to the appointment he had no issues jumping into the car, walking or playing. The tech who took us to the back was nice. I told her that my dog normally gets anxiety and starts breathing heavy but he was so calm here. So I was excited for this. She asked all the typical questions. We had clinic notes transferred from another facility. She noticed that sometimes he had to be muzzled. I told her that since he was a puppy, he does not like his paws or face touched in a vet setting. So blood draws, stool checks & shots may be a little difficult but it gets done. My dog is 10yo. and he has had a lot of appts throughout his life. At every single place he has been in, the Drs always go to him to check his demeanor. They pet him. They try to make him comfortable while talking to me and getting a history. This doctor came in with a muzzle. He did not interact with my dog to gauge his excitement/fear/anxiety. He almost looked scared coming into the room. He gave me the muzzle so I could put it on my dog. Instantly, my dog became anxious because he hates the muzzle. The technician was trying to hold him while he got his first shot on his right hip but he jerked from getting stuck & the Dr tried to stick him again. He wasn't successful so here I go 2 months post op of a total knee replacement sit on the floor to comfort my dog & hold him down so the Dr can stick the same needle in the same spot two more times. He wasn't happy with the left hip shot as well. After he got the shots the Dr said this is typical for a Chow. I looked at him confused that he called my dog a "Chow" when he is a Shiba Inu. When he left the room, I started massaging the shot sites for my dog. There was a lot of fluid on his right hip and I asked the technician if they were sure that he received the medication on his right hip because it was completely wet. She said that it was normal for some other medication to come out, and that more medication is sometimes put in the syringe for these instances. This did not make me feel comfortable. I don't know if it's more expensive here because it's a hospital, but almost $200 later, and he did not receive the heart worm or parasite test. I took my new puppy to a Vet in San Antonio and she got all the same shots, heart worm & parasite test plus one month treatment of heart guard & next guard for under $100. The technician called me the next day to see how my dog was doing and I told her that I had a concern for his right hip that it was still hurting. She said that she would let the doctor know and they would call me back they never did. During the week my dog has been sluggish. He has not been jumping into the car like he normally does for our walks. At first i was thinking why is he being so lazy but I tried to massage him like I normally do and he cried out in pain when I touched his hips. I called the hospital & they the soonest they can get someone to call me is on Monday. I told her that I do not want the same Dr he saw call me. I am so upset that I brought my dog here. He has seen Vets in three different states and this has been the worst experience in his 10 years of life. This is the first time that he can't be touched in this hips after getting shots. He's never had these issues at the previous veterinarian clinic. So upset that I switched.

    Happy birds at home after seeing Dr. Louth.
    Tracy B.

    It is really hard to find a Veterinarian that sees birds and feel beyond lucky we found Dr. Louth! He is so passionate and so very patient with me and all of my questions.

    Our pet iguana with a healthy appetite after Dr. Louth's care!

The rescue contacted them verbally then sent them a follow up email with a very detailed specified authorized list of visit services. This list also included (very) explicitly detailed non-authorized services. It couldn't have be clearer to them what should/should not be done. Once in the room the tech kept asking about additional services. I clearly stated, no, nothing other than that authorized by the rescue (who was paying). Interestingly, as soon as we wrapped up in the room they requested I sign a form accepting what was done. Without thinking I signed. Then, becoming suspect, I searched for the form from the rescue and found they provided and charged for services which were specified as not authorized. I asked the tech about this and she indicated she knew this was the case, but that 'they always do this with new pet visits.' After several acknowledgements that she knew this was not authorized she did not credit the charges. In the end, I paid out of my pocket over $120 rather than have it billed to the rescue. They knowingly cheated 5 minutes of services for $120. Never again will I take a pet to this clinic.

    This review is over due for 2 years and we are not sure if there are still the same vet and team…read morehere. We like to leave the review from our great experience here anyway. In Dec 2023 near the long holidays, we bought a 2-month old kitten from a breeder. We named him "Simba" and just a day after we got him, Simba suddenly stop eating and drinking. As well, he vomited a few times a day causing us extremely worried. We had no idea what happened and scared he might have been poison by something we didn't know of. At the afternoon until evening on Fri, we couldn't schedule any regular vet nearby or even a bit further away. Finally, we decided to take Simba to ASAP Vet: Veterinary Urgent Care since we worried that our very little kitten might have not survived the weekend. ASAP Vet very thoroughly checked on Simba and although the vet said it was hard to say for sure what was the reasons that caused Simba to vomit and stop eating and drinking. The vet helped inject a water ball in Simba's back to prevent him from dehydration. The vet and nurse also helped removing Simba's eye boogers. As you can tell from the photo, Simba had very tough eye boogers and they irritated his eye so much causing him unable to fully open one of his eye. We tried many times, but unable to wipe them off. ASAP knew how to do it by gently combing the hairs around his eye to remove his eye boogers out completely. As well, they provided us some eye cream to help with Simba's eye infections and in just 5 days, Simba eye got back to normally, clear, bright, and cheerful. After this visit, we were able to schedule Simba to see a regular vet at Georgetown Veterinary Hospital, but it was the worst experience. The vet there did a very quick and brutally check on our kitten and then she was repeatedly saying I had no idea. She didn't provide us anything to help our kitten. We didn't think she even cared if Simba wouldn't make it to survive. 3 days after that, Simba still refused to eat and drink. It was a long holidays, so we brought Simba back to ASAP and they injected another water ball into Simba's back and provided us a syringe and liquid food to try to inject the food and water directly into Simba's mouth. Another 2 full days of unsuccessfully having Simba eat or drink, my tear dropped. We decided to gently force and inject the water and liquid food into his mouth. Magical happened soon after that, Simba started to eat and drink by himself!!! You can tell how relieved and happy we were. Soon after that we learned indeed Simba having an anxiety from getting a new owner. Although we knew getting a new owner can be very stressful for a kitten and the kitten might have been hiding and fear, we never imagined a little kitten would be in much anxiety to vomit and stop eating and drinking completely for a week. We were and are still thankful to the vet and team here. Thanks God they open an urgent care for a special hour and during the weekend. Now, Simba is 2 year old and grew up to be a big beautiful boy. Life is always too busy. If we have time, we really want to take Simba to visit the vet and team again. Thus, they can meet the big boy whose life they saved. In short: - Highly recommended - Staff is kind, considerate, and care. - The price maybe a very little higher than a regular vet, but since it is an urgent care, so the price is quite a reasonable price. Not a ripe off for sure. - Clean and Bright and no smells

At the time we got…read moreSimba, we struggled a little and needed to take Simba to see other vets before we could get scheduled with Dr. Brandes. Since then we know we found the best vet and team here. They are kind, love, and care. The first few times of our visit, Simba was still very small and the operator and nurse always prepared the room to be ready for us to get in since they worried Simba might have been frightened by other dogs. Dr. Brandes has cared for our Simba since 2023 from the time Simba was just 2 month olds, and now Simba is a big boy. Simba indeed was a smallest one in his family and unfortunately having some constipation problem and blood in his stool. Dr. Brandes recommended us to change Simba's food and put some pro-biotic in his food and yes, it helped. No blood in his stool for almost 2 years already. When Simba was one-year old, Dr. Brandes recommended and did neuter for our Simba. Soon after the surgery, Simba was doing great and healthy. You can tell from the photos, which were just about 2 days after the surgery. We put him in cone to prevent him from licking his wound as Dr. Brandes recommended. Dr. Brandes is very gentle and thoroughly checks on Simba every time of our visiting. The nurses and reception, Amanda, were polite, kind, and gentle, especially Amber, the nurse, who always remembers Simba since the time he was just a very little kitten. We can tell they all love and gentle with animals. However, regarding the vets here, one time, we accidentally scheduled Simba to see other vet at this location and he didn't seem to thoroughly check on Simba as Dr. Brandes did. The other vet just extremely quick checked on Simba and gone as soon as he could. Since then we learned only Dr. Brandes we can trust. Like other reviews mentioned, we adore Dr. Brandes! Agreed can't recommend him and his staff enough, they are incredible. In short: For this location. Highly recommend Dr. Brandes Staff is always kind and considerate. Reasonable price Always clean and No smells

    TL;DR: Excellent veterinarians. Frustrating corporate policies. After three requests spanning six…read moremonths, we still can't obtain copies of our dogs' routine prescriptions so we can fill them at the pharmacy of our choosing. Full Review: We've been clients of Austin Vet Care for nearly 20 years. We originally saw Dr. Cotnam at the Central Park location on Lamar and were so happy with his care that when that office closed, we continued following him to the Metric location, even though it's much less convenient for us. Over the years, we've had excellent experiences with Dr. Cotnam and the other veterinarians at this practice. The doctors and staff have always been kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate, which is why writing this review is disappointing. Our concern isn't with the people at this location--it's with what appears to be a corporate policy under Thrive. We have three dogs, all of whom receive their veterinary care here. When the practice switched to a new online pharmacy, we had ongoing issues getting medications delivered reliably. Because of that, we decided we'd rather fill our dogs' flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives ourselves. We weren't asking the clinic to coordinate with another pharmacy--we simply wanted copies of our pets' valid prescriptions so we could handle the rest. Unfortunately, despite requesting copies of our pets' prescriptions on three separate occasions over the past six months, we still haven't received them. Our first request was by email about six months ago. We never received a response. Our second request was by phone. The staff member assumed we wanted the prescriptions resent to the online pharmacy. We explained that wasn't what we wanted--we simply needed copies of the prescriptions so we could fill them ourselves. After some discussion, she agreed to send them to us, but they never arrived. Our third request came during an appointment for one of our dogs, who needed a prescription renewed. At that visit, we again specifically requested that the prescription be sent directly to us. Once again, we were told that would happen. Once again, it never did--not for that dog or for our other two dogs. At this point, all three of our dogs have active prescriptions through this practice, yet we still haven't been able to obtain copies of those prescriptions despite three requests spanning six months. I was so confused by this experience that I researched the issue. The American Veterinary Medical Association's ethical guidance states that veterinarians should honor a client's request for a written prescription rather than requiring the medication to be dispensed through the practice. Many state veterinary boards also view an unreasonable refusal to provide a prescription as potentially unprofessional. In our case, these are routine flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives--not controlled substances such as certain pain or seizure medications that can involve additional legal requirements. Because no one has been willing to explain why our repeated requests have gone unanswered, we're left to wonder whether corporate policies are designed to steer clients toward Thrive's preferred online pharmacy. Whether that's the case or not, the experience has left us feeling like our ability to choose where to fill our pets' prescriptions is less important than keeping those prescriptions within Thrive's system. It's unfortunate because we've genuinely loved the veterinarians who have cared for our dogs over the last two decades. They have earned our trust, and we've continued making the drive to this location because we value the care they've provided. My hope is that Thrive reconsiders whatever policy is creating this experience, because it undermines the excellent care provided by the doctors and staff who work here. Pets should come first, regardless of where their owners choose to fill routine prescriptions.
