Central Texas Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital

Our Oscar is doing so much better since visiting with Central Texas Veterinary Emergency Hospital. They were nice enough to allow me to bring his toy and favorite blanket while he had to stay overnight. Unfortunately, his blanket was lost for a short time when he was able to return home. Well, as you can see, it made it back home and he isn't parting with it anytime soon. Except laundry time! Thanks for taking suck good care of our baby! We hope to not see y'all soon.

Absolutely amazing staff and vet. Came in with a puppy who swallowed a fly fishing hook this morning. After getting xrays and confirming that she ingested it, the staff calmly explained everything and made me feel at ease. They also were really great with my dog, she is young and not used to vets yet but they made it a wonderful experience for both of us. She passed the hook right as we got home and all is well. I will hopefully never need emergency vet care again but if I do I won't hesitate to come back. Thank y'all so much!

A couple weeks ago my dog had to have emergency surgery after eating gorilla glue and Dr. Johnson did an awesome job! He stayed humble and reassured me multiple times. His staff was also supportive when I was crying and one said “I would let Dr. Johnson do anything to my dog if needed” and that brought me SO much comfort (because I was a nervous mess). I’ve also been seen by Dr. Bevan for my dog’s hip dysplasia and he was upfront and helpful! I’m very happy with this place even considering the unfortunate circumstances.

I do not ever leave bad reviews for businesses, but this time I am unfortunately. I have been too upset to even leave the review for months now. My 14 year old Weimaraner had a sudden tumor rupture that caused him to bleed internally late one evening in January 2018. We rushed him to the emergency vet that was recommended by our usual vet. My issue has nothing to do with the veterinarian. She was kind and swift in diagnosing and euthanizing our poor boy to keep him from further pain. My issue is completely with the giggling chuckling rude veterinary techs (I am assuming? Possibly kennel techs or other staff) who were hanging out in a cluster not five feet from the table where my dog was being euthanized. 14 years with this dog, my best friend, and they are yukking it up, giggling and telling jokes/ having a loud conversation right next to us as my friend is dying. I used to be a veterinary tech and now work in nuclear medicine in a hospital around people patients instead of furry ones. I am absolutely shocked and hurt at how blatantly rude this was. If I’d have not been in total grief and shock I’d have slapped them all in the face and I am not a violent person. I still am in disbelief at how we were treated. I will never be back. If you are euthanizing your furry family member here, make sure they keep the rude unempathetic staff far from your baby. My dog and friend deserved better.

I have taken one cat and 1 Border Collie dog here in emegencies. The staff is very efficient, pleasant and thoughtful. Their prices are reasonable for an emergency center. My kitty could not be saved from eating a rat that had eaten rat poison. The staff was sincerely concerned for, Sir Baby Tiger, and me, as well. My dog, Sir Henry II, was bitten by a rattler. I found him at midnight, finally, then rushed him to this hospital. He survived just fine. Their concern and care for him is dually noted. I have recommended them several times with everyone commending their care and efficiency, as well. Many others, including me, have been severely disappointed with the other emergency clinic on Old Settlers. We feel they put our animals at risk and their prices were considerably more. I reccomend this Animal Emergency and Speciality Hospital first and foremost when you have a desperate need after hours.
