    There truly aren't enough words to convey how grateful I am to Dr. Brieana for the care she provided in putting my sweet Fae to rest. Fae was the first pet I had as an adult and she was with me for over 14 years. When a tumor started growing on her leg last year I chose not to amputate because of her age and size but when things took a turn, I had some guilt and was questioning whether I made the right decision on just monitoring it since she wasn't in pain. The immediate reassurance Dr. Brieana gave me confirming that a cat of her size and age would not have handled that surgery well and that I gave her the best final year etc. truly gave so much peace and eased any guilt I felt. The care she provided from beginning to end was incredible and I will forever appreciate it because that was the hardest day of my life. Vets like her don't go to school to be therapists to us pet owners but inevitably have to, and she carried that role with such kindness and empathy that it made an unbearable moment feel more manageable. Dr. Brieana you are an incredible human and leave a lasting mark on the hearts of the people and pets you help, thank you from the bottom of my heart I will never forget your kindness

    We truly had the best experience with Compassionate Pet Vet. Saying goodbye to our sweet pup was hard, but finding Compassionate Pet Vet and being able to spend the last moments with him in the comfort of our home made the day a bit easier. From my initial correspondence with Glynis who was so kind and super responsive to having Dr. Brieana and Gatlin come to our home and help our pup cross the rainbow bridge everyone was a pleasure to interact with. The Dr. was kind and patient as we said goodbye and transporting him after was done in a super caring & respectful way. Highly recommend Compassionate Pet Vet.

    Not much to say other than thank you. The team at Compassionate Pet Vet was kind, patient, and truly lived up to their name. They were on time, answered all of our questions, and helped us through one of the hardest moments any pet owner can face. It's been two years, and we still miss our sweet Hanako every day. We're so grateful for the compassion and care they showed, making an incredibly difficult experience just a little easier to bear. Thank you to the entire team for the comfort and grace you provided when we needed it most. If anyone is in doubt if choosing them is the right decision, look no further.

    There aren't enough words to express my deepest gratitude for Compassionate Pet Vets. During the years we have had to solicit their help to assist in the transitioning of our beloved fur babies. The compassion in which the team of doctors expressed not only to our fur babies but to the parents was and has always been phenomenal. From the soft tone of their voices in which they spoke to our babies to the way they explain the process in it's entirety. We were extremely grateful to Dr. Tunison in allowing my family to mourn our loss in private by exiting the room for as long as we needed to say our final goodbyes. At the conclusion; our baby was handled with care and respect as he was being prepared for transport. I am forever grateful to Compassionate Pet Vets and Dr. Tunison for the amazing experience.

    While I didn't end up using their services (my Sunny passed earlier than expected), the Compassionate Pet Vet team was great with communication. They responded to my inquiry within hours to schedule an appointment, and they promptly refunded me in full when I let them know we had to go another route unexpectedly. Their emails were informative, kind and caring.

    I am almost 99% sure my dog has patellar luxation & I just want her to be checked out. I just moved to Texas & wondering how much a check up visit would be? :)

    My cat was recently diagnosed (at a different vet) with a somewhat rare parasite (Tritrichomonas),…read moreand I was having a hard time finding a vet I felt confident in. My usual vet, who we have been seeing since adopting the cat almost 2 years ago, rudely dismissed my concerns over the phone and insisted that I needed to pay an $80 office visit fee just to get an answer to my question over the phone (the question was "What does the PCR panel test for?"). I started calling every other vet in Austin to find a clinic that has experience with Tritrichomonas and that I felt comfortable with. Several clinics admitted that they did not know what the parasite was or had never treated it before. Another lied and said "oh, that is super easy to treat and really common and straightforward!" which I knew was not accurate from the empirical literature online. I finally found Austin Urban Vet and the experience we have had so far has genuinely been night and day different from pervious clinics. From the very first call, the AUV team was empathetic to our situation, VERY transparent about pricing (they provided it in writing), and explicitly clear about which PCR diagnostic panel they use at AUV and exactly what it tests for. They were open and honest about their experience with Tritrichomonas and I immediately felt at ease and confident in the care that they could provide my cat. After chatting with my partner about my findings from calling almost every vet in Austin, we both agreed Austin Urban Vet was the best one to move forward with, so we made an appointment. Right off the bat, I was happy to find that AUV has a private parking lot (for free!). I headed inside with my cat and the team at the front desk was so kind and helpful. They quickly checked me in and invited me to grab a bottle of water or make myself a cup of coffee as I waited for the tech to take us into the room. We waited for maybe ~5 minutes before the tech took us to the exam room, where she scanned my cat for her microchip, weighed her, and asked questions about the presenting problem, history, etc. Dr. Helen was who attended us for the exam itself, and she was so kind and thorough. I really felt that she was providing genuine feedback, and she was honest about her experience with this parasite. She was transparent about the treatment plan and let me know her general thoughts (Ie., "If she is still positive, we will do X. If she is negative, we can try Y.") We are now waiting for the PCR results, but so far, I am so happy with our experience and feel confident that Dr. Helen will provide us with the best care possible.

All of the Dr's are very warm, open, transparent, compassionate and always present a wide range of treatment options between conservative care and very aggressive care so we can make the most informed and appropriate choices. The front desk staff is also extremely responsive and this can make or break a business. Most recently we've worked with a newer Dr, Dr Johnson and he's a perfect fit to compliment the rest of the Drs - we love working with him, he's patient, knowledgeable and empathetic and that means everything in the business of treating neglected senior dogs that come through our local shelters. We are very grateful for the work South Park Animal Hospital does for our medical sponsorship dogs.

SOUTH PARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL is now owned by a VENTURE CAPITAL FIRM called National Veterinary Associates, which in turn is owned by JAB Holding company, JAB has tripled in size since it started buying up vets and charging confiscatory prices, taking advantage of our love of our pets. I gave them two stars because at least they did my cat right and he's fine now. BUT they started burying me in pitch emails too, trying to feed fear about my cat's health, constantly trawling me for more money, more money, more money, all while pretending to care about my cat when they don't. If the people at South Park Animal Hospital really loved animals as much as they love MONEY, they wouldn't have sold out. But they did. I will never go back and suggest you don't start.

During this appointment I wasn't seen by a doctor, just the tech, but was assured a doctor would review her bloodwork and contact me. They emailed me to say that "everything was within normal range." However, since I specifically wanted to see the results for this particular marker, I requested a copy of the bloodwork. To my surprise, when I reviewed the results, multiple markers were clearly concerning, even to my untrained eye. When I asked questions about these findings, they told me I'd need to schedule another follow-up appointment (with an additional visit fee) and bring her back in just to discuss the results. Why would I stress my cat out with another car ride/vet visit just to get answers about my previous appointment? This makes no sense. On top of that, it took them about a week to even call me back. During this time, I hired an online vet to review the bloodwork. To my shock, this vet confirmed that the results show early signs of kidney disease--the leading cause of death in cats--and stressed the importance of starting preventative measures immediately. In short, I can no longer recommend this clinic. All the good vets have left, and the quality of care provided could cause major health concerns to go missed. As other reviewers have mentioned, this place has home down hill and that has been very apparent, but until now I had just been too lazy to do the research and switch. Please find a better option! This clinic claims to be holistic and to have a natural approach, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Don't be fooled by the cute decor and logo. -- we have used the East Side and South First locations.
