We love the staff here and the parking lot service since COVID. It’s relaxing and convenient, and I always know my dog is treated sweetly by the kind and gentle staff! They also advise of the twice annual discounts on anesthesia services (such as needed for dental cleaning,) so you can get a locked in quote for services when the deal is best.

What an absolute waste of time and money. My senior dog jumped off the couch and hurt himself. We weren't sure if he pulled a muscle or something more serious happened like a slipped disc in his back. He is obviously in a lot of pain though. Upon first seeing our dog, Dr. Campbell said she was confident he had kidney disease and she wanted to do the lab work to confirm this. We agreed to the blood work even though it really had nothing to do with his injury. The lab results showed he in fact, does NOT have kidney disease. Dr. Campbell barely touched our dog and did not palpate his body looking

After the first visit, they identified the root cause of several issues I've been treating my senior dog for for ten years! Just switched to Dessau for our three dogs based on a recommendation from a friend at the dog park and great reviews online. I had no idea until I visited Dessau that there was an underlying issue causing Trout's frequent ear infections, weight gain, lethargy, and skin "allergies." No other vet thought to ask if it might be his thyroid; they just treated the symptoms. It's been super convenient to get appointments so far, and everyone is friendly and competent. We are a difficult

Good vets are hit or miss, but this one is definitely the best vet I've been to in a long time. The entire... staff is very friendly, patient, and genuinely cares about your pet. I would definitely recommend them and plan on staying with them as long as I live in the area. (Photo taken right after trip to vet).

Thank you for such amazing care and compassion. Our dog had a hotspot on his paw and Dr. Campbell and her team stayed late on a Monday to see him and figure out what was going on! We work an exhaustive schedule and getting things done during the work day is near impossible. Thank you for your empathy and willingness to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend Dr. Campbell and the rest of the clinic staff! We use them for everything from annual checkups, vaccinations, to grooming etc and have always left feeling more than satisfied.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm no longer bringing my cat here. Today was the last nail in the coffin. My cat has upper respiratory problems and they have recommended that we do a procedure where we can finish out her nasal passages and we were told we can do it when we feel she needs it. My poor cat hasn't eaten since before midnight last night in preparation of the procedure and it is now after 5pm and no one gave my cat any food or treats. I was also not called to be notified that she was ready to be picked up. Dr. Campbell called me shortly after I dropped her off and her tone dripped with condecension and frustration

Precovid, I took my senior mix breed dog to this vet at the urging of my husband because it was near our new home. I regret not doing my due diligence. Previously, I had gone to the same vet at the vet practice for the last 20 years & this vet had recently left the practice. It made no sense to continue going to them due to the distance as well. So, I brought my dog here for his semi annual visit.
I should've picked him up and left when they took his temperature anally via a digital thermometer. But, I had faith that it would get better. It did NOT. The vet, Dr. Campbell, did not stay

I waited a few days before leaving this review, because I have been livid for 3 days.
1st: I have a 6 month rescue. I don't know what his life was like before we found him abandoned on the side of the road. My heart breaks every time an animal is left at the shelter. So I adopted him. Trying to do the right thing.
2.He gets very anxious when he is around people he doesn't know. I'm his safety net.
Put those two things together and you have a high energy anxious puppy. So how dare you, come out to my car and scold me, and tell me that my dog needs obedience school and at 6

Dr. Campbell and team are AMAZING. I haven't had any surgical experiences with them (let's hope I don't) but they've taken really good care of my two pups since I've started going to them. We found out that my lab mix is allergic to many things and they put her on apoquel. It was a huge trial and error process. They recommended taking an allergy test, downside is that it is very costly. I took the shot on taking the test and I am very glad that I did so. We found out that Luna was allergic to her food. DVC cares about you and they work with you regarding finances and caring

We came in from out of town with our dogs to visit family in Pflugerville. Our pug needed some grooming/minor medical care and didn't want to take her to one of the chain box pet stores, we found Dessau Veterinary Clinic here on Yelp. We called in the morning and Dessau Veterinary Clinic was happy to see us that afternoon. When I got there they took us right to an exam room and did the procedure along with a nail trim for both our dogs. The Vet Techs were very helpful, friendly, kind, and most of all caring for our pups. They took great care of them!!
The office was quiet and most of all clean

Absolutely wonderful staff. We were visiting from out of town and our basset hound Buddy needed some stitches removed that I thought I could handle myself. Once I took a closer look I thought "no way I'm doing this..." so I checked Yelp and called these guys.
"No problem, bring him in" they said
So my wife took him in and they saw him right away. They took really good care of him in minutes and he was on his way.
If I lived in Austin this would be my vet!

I could not be happier with the service I received during my first visit to Dessau Veterinary Clinic. After discussing my fur baby's symptoms over the phone to my original vet's office, they suspected my little one had a UTI. But they were too busy to see me right away and recommended the VCA Anderson Mill Animal Hospital. That was almost two hours I'll never get back. After their failed attempt to get a urine sample at the end of a clawed stick, I left there with a tiny urine sample container, $55 lighter and very upset that my little one was still suffering. Luckily, a good

The staff was AWESOME!! I had called in the morning and they were able to get my kittens in same-day due to a cancellation they had. I arrived a few minutes early to the appointment and I could tell they were very busy but everyone was helping out. They apologized for the craziness and told me it would be a few minutes because they had a lot of emergency walk in's. I didn't mind the wait, it really was only a 5-10 minute wait. Dr. Campbell was AMAZING, she went through everything with me. Explained what normal behavior is, walked me through the kittens' medical records (they were

I am so thankful that we found this vet clinic. I was rushing to find somewhere to have my dog looked at for possible lymphoma. When the results came back, they were extremely detailed when telling me about the cancer, the prices of everything and the possibilities of how long she would survive. They were honest and made me feel reassured. Dr. Kampbell kept in touch, would call back when I had questions and even helped me with needing help figuring out if it was my dogs time or not. This morning I took my dog in to be put to sleep due to cancer eating her body. Dr Kampbell was so warm and generous

This is by far the best veterinary clinic I have EVER been to. Every time i'm in I have nothing short of a five star experience. I would get them 10 stars if I could. The clinic has a very warm, and welcoming environment for both myself and their patients. The staff is always so friendly, attentive, and informative in regards to the visit with my doggos. Most importantly they treat my animals as if they were their own. Major kudos to the techs who always put my dogs and I at ease. They have gained a loyal customer for life.

The staff was very friendly, and their boarding facility is affordable and nice.
I went to this vet when I first got my dog because it was close to my home and Austin Pets Alive had them on an approval list for vets that would give my dog her free check up. This was in 2014, but I keep receiving emails reminding me of the experience I had here. My dog had lost about 10 pounds since I had adopted her and when the vet came to look at her she just got very stern with me about how skinny my dog was. I had never had a problem with any of the pets I've had and had no idea what to do, but she didn

I got a new puppy from a breeder and was recommended by a friend to this clinic. I made an appointment for 5:30 pm since I work 9-5 every day and got stuck behind an accident. they close at 6pm and I arrived at 5:55pm. I felt terrible and said I could reschedule but the office staff and vet were friendly and said no we can see your puppy now (!! so great). They stayed late and didn't seem to rush through all the questions I had about training and shot schedules. I even had a question about her eyes as she kept running into things and the vet took the extra time to do some research for

I called and made an appointment for my cat because she was refusing to use her litter box. Normally this means a UTI. I arrived at little late, only to discover that I was at the wrong place. I'm new to the area and could only remember the vet was on Dessau road. The woman laughed with me at my mistake and said the doctor could fit me in if I could wait a few mins.
I gladly agreed and sat down to wait. The Dr came out shortly and finished discussing follow up with the previous pet mom. She turned to me and smiled a huge smile and welcomed me back to the treatment room. My cat rolled

I took in a stray recently that needed a good grooming badly. Yorkie mix. Emancipet helped me get started on vaccinations and such. For grooming needs I tried Petsmart and a small independent groomer but neither could get past a nail trim. My current vet (for cats) does not have grooming services so I thought I'd try Dessau Vet Clinic first since they DO have grooming services. I discussed her situation with the staff and was ready to go with sedation as I was DESPERATE to get my dog groomed. I received a call a few hours after I dropped her off expecting them to ask for permission to sedate
