Dr. Frank Shuman IV DVM - Medical Director and Owner Dr. Frank Shuman IV grew up in a small town on the Louisiana Texas border called Orange. He gained experience with animals working at the local mixed animal veterinary practice that served the close knit community. After high school, he earned an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Texas.
During your visit, our doctors will perform a nose to tail exam on your pet, checking all visible body systems for signs of concern. Regular physical exams are important as many health issues are much easier and less expensive to treat earlier on rather than later. We are here to help! Your concerns are our concerns, no matter how small or how many.
For us "low stress" is thinking about the veterinary experience from our patient's perspective and making changes with the goal of lowering stress levels and in turn creating a more positive visit for everyone, including our clients! Our team is trained to recognize signs of stress and respond appropriately.

Was visiting the austin/dripping springs area for a weekend trip and my pup got really hurt. Dripping Springs Animal Hospital was the closest to us and I am so thankful that we found them. They were able to squeeze us in on such short notice and was so sweet to our dog. We felt like our pup was in great hands and they were so hospitable. Honestly if I lived in the area I would have loved for them to be my primary vet. THEY WERE FANTASTIC! Cannot speak more highly of them!

So grateful to the staff at Dripping Springs Animal Hospital for going out of their way to make Pearl feel safe + loved. As a farm dog, not used to leaving home, she was terrified when she arrived. But the receptionist sat with her + loved on her for a LONG time to make her more comfortable. The entire staff was kind, helpful, professional + most importantly, they LOVE animals!
Thank yall!
Thank yall!

Everything is always perfect when we bring our pups here. I wouldn't trust anyone else with them. The doctors genuinely care about our dogs and more importantly care to take the time to educated us and talk to us on any matter. The tech staff is amazing as well. I can't tell you how many times I have called worried about something occuring with my dog and the techs have walked me through at home care and told me when to bring them in if it was serious. The team is amazing and I am so thankful to have found a group that cares for my fur children as much as I do.

I took my Prairie Dog to DS Animal Hospital after receiving multiple recommendations from other vets closer to my home. Even with the longer drive it was well worth it. All staff members were very knowledgeable and kind. The building and rooms were very clean and I felt that my new baby was well taken care of.

Beautifully decorated and designed. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely patient. The doctor was equally gentle, proficient, and informative with regards to our new cats. I wish I could give DSAH six stars. I encourage all animal lovers to visit here. I did no comparison shopping but felt prices were beyond fair especially when considering the high level of care provided. We will be sticking with DSAH!
