    Waiting room
    Cheyenne H.

    I recently adopted a cat who requires daily medicine and needed to get her a refill. I called this practice and they made me an appointment within two days. The facility itself is very easy to find and access, it's about a mile off 183. For a vet's office, the waiting room was exceptionally clean with lots of comfy chairs. The staff were incredibly friendly when we arrived and we were seen within 10 minutes of our appointment time despite a few other guests also waiting. The doctor's were gentle with Dite and didn't waste time any time examining her. They even trimmed her nails for me and gave me some great advice about managing her weight and teeth (which I didn't know was a concern ahh). I received her refill same-day and was in and out within 45 minutes. I'm definitely impressed with this practice and will be returning!

    I've discovered this place following my vet, Dr Weaver, who was working to "Pflugerville Animal Hospital" - one of the best (And the most charming with its Norman Rockwell's touch) Vet Hospital where I ever been - but unfortunately sold to VCA around 2 years ago... what totally destroyed the spirit of the place. Northwest Austin Vet Center looks like any vet center but the team has "The Spirit". The spirit of real animal lovers who give their best for your loved ones. You feel that your pet is in good, honest and very professional hands. They DO care, and you see it. The whole team is 500% great but - And because he was my vet (my deeply loved one passed few months ago) - I highly recommending Dr. D. Weaver: Friendly, generous of his time, giving the best attention to your loved one. Well, to make it simple: Human, compassionate, crystal clear honest with the best advices for the less costly solution. Because our loved fur ones are family members, it's extremely confortable and reassuring to know that you have been lucky enough to find the right place... And Northwest Austin Vet Center is the right place to me.

    This place is wonderful. They treat you like family and your furry family member is their furry family member. Dr Weaver was so patient and kind. Explained everything very thoroughly and left no stone unturned making sure that I had all of my questions. It all began with Crystal who set up my appointment by phone. Amazing. Then, Rocky and I were greeted by Emily, the Tech. She knocked it out of the park. She was so polite, gentle, kind, and helpful. Then to add extra joy and smiles, Tonya joined our visit. There's no better Vet Clinic on the planet! Thank you! 10+++

    This was *after* I spent 15 minutes cleaning her up with a washcloth. This was all fresh blood when I got her back.

    I chose the Northwest Austin Veterinary Center because of the rave reviews on their site. I wish I had known better. I had a terrible experience my first time there and will not be returning. I brought in my cat who had blood in her urine. They took some of her urine for a urinalysis, and wanted to also do a blood panel given she's a senior cat who's at risk of kidney disease. It's worth stating for context that I've had another cat who would get extremely stressed at the vet and would need gabapentin to make it through a visit. That is not this cat. She's 15 years old and has NEVER been anything but mellow getting bloodwork or doing any kind of testing in the past. She goes into curl-up-in-a-ball-and-hide-my-face mode when she's stressed. But today, I heard her yelping over and over in the back room and they gave her back to me with blood streaming down her legs (they didn't even bandage it!) and said I'd need to give her gabapentin and come back tomorrow for them to get the bloodwork. Attached is a photo I took *after* I spent 15 minutes cleaning her up with a wet washcloth at home. It was way worse when they gave her back to me. On top of it, when the vet tech came into the room at the end of the visit, he walked in and said "Where's your cat?" like she should have been in the room. I thought he was making a joke. But he wasn't. He then got really embarrassed and talked about how short-staffed they were. He then went and got her from the back room. They forgot about her? Lastly, they were going to do an x-ray in addition to the blood work to check for stones, and also give her flea prevention medication because she had a couple flea bites. They forgot about the x-ray and the flea medication entirely. I will NOT be taking her back to get the bloodwork tomorrow, even though I've already paid for it. I don't know if it's lack of judgment, experience, basic skills, or what (probably a combination), but what vet or tech continues poking and prodding with blood streaming everywhere, while a cat's yelping and trying to get away? And then gives them back to their owner without even a bandage?! I'm sure there are good doctors here, but I just can't in good faith bring her back after this experience.

    Cooper!

    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.

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.
