Pet Specialists of Austin

Over a year ago, our rescue cat, Yurt, started experiencing serious health issues, and with no known history, we were terrified we were going to lose him- especially when cancer became a real possibility. After being referred to Pet Specialists of Austin, their team ran extensive testing and ultimately diagnosed him with histoplasmosis, a semi rare and potentially fatal fungal infection. What followed was a long, expensive, and emotional year of treatment, monitoring, and medication adjustments- but through it all, the team at Pet Specialists was incredible. They were thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in Yurt’s recovery. Today, I’m beyond grateful to say that Yurt has officially tested negative for histoplasmosis and is happier, healthier, and more playful than ever! (See be

Oh my goodness, this place is a God-send! My sweet little dachshund, Cami, had swelling around her nose and mouth. I took her into her local vet and she was given allergy meds and watched for a few hours. Right before I picked her up, her mouth got worse and she was referred to the ER. I took her into Pet Specialists of Austin on a Friday evening and was given a room immediately. As soon as I gave her over to the staff, they were quick and efficient in diagnosing her. Snake bite! Dr. Wilby was so kind. She explained the next steps and possible outcomes of the treatment. I agreed and was given the quote by the staff who also provided an itemized list of the cost expectation on the higher-end. And I’m the type of owner that would sell their kidney for their pet’s welfare so I didn’t really

I have been here several times for pet emergencies but this last time was exceptional. My pup had an urgent back injury needing an expensive surgery, and the team was compassionate and helpful. They helped me navigate the options, and when the best option was to transfer him to Texas A&M for the surgery they helped pave the way by talking to the vets there and making the transfer smooth. I am so grateful for the team at Pet Specialists.

I am so glad I took my senior dog Rue who has Cushings Disease , to see Drs Hagler and Hetrick . She had been sufering w vague and distresing signs of pain and severe acute behavioral changes for several months and I was uable to find the cause . Dr Hetrick found that she has eye inflammation (uveitis )and retinal hemmorhage secondary to her Pituitary tumor . I started her on the recommended meds and just 48 hours later she is feeling so much more like her old self ! I know she won't live forever since she is already 13, but i do want her final years to as comfortable and happy as possible . We are very grateful to the kind speciailists and support staff for their compassion and expertise and Rue thoroughly enjoyed her visit to PSA

Writing this review was not an easy decision but I’d like to honor my cat, Sunday and hope to inform others. Last month, Sunday died unexpectedly at this clinic under their care. She was 14 years old and was sick with an illness that was not yet fully diagnosed. We were days from seeing her regular vet when I noticed she had labored breathing. But she wasn’t mouth-breathing or in distress. She even jumped on my lap, purring, while I had coffee that morning as she usually does. I was just being cautious. I called PSA before I took her there. They told me that they had an oxygen kennel to get her comfortable and encouraged me to bring her in. I was hoping for a physical exam, to get a vet to listen to her heart and lungs to see if they noticed anything alarming. And just to stabilize her ove
