South Congress Veterinary

The outside of course looks old and rundown but I figured I would give it a chance. The inside waiting area wasn't the best but not too horrible. When we were brought into the exam room, I felt grossed out. The chairs are stained and tore up looking. The table looks old and dirty, floor boards dirty..basically everything looked gross. I didn't want to sit down. How hard is it to clean up and make it look somewhat decent. I def don't feel comfortable leaving my dog with them for dental cleaning based off the unsanitary conditions I don't care how much cheaper they are. Lady in front was really not that friendly either like everyone says..vet was nice though. Not sure if the thermometer was clean because I saw them put it back in the drawer after use but I'm not sure if they cleaned it afte

Would give more stars if I could. This place is a no frills/all love Austin institution. Dr. Bruce and his amazing staff have been taking care of my dogs for years now. They have the best prices in town. My dog's dental appointments at South Congress cost about $150 and we're always pleased with the results. (My senior Yorkie's teeth have literally fallen out over the yrs, which is why her tongue hangs out. But after her latest cleaning and extraction of some very rotten teeth, she can give us fresh kisses again! This is her after excitedly eating kibble mixed with soft food right after surgery. She's not used to soft food and managed to get it everywhere!) Her big brother was happy to lick up the mess.

Don't be deceived by appearances; this place is a hidden gem. I've been coming here for over two years now and I absolutely love it. The staff is incredibly kind and caring. What stands out the most is their honesty—they never over-diagnose or push unnecessary treatments, unlike many other clinics. Their prices are fair, and most importantly, they provide exceptional care for my dogs every single visit. Recently, I've brought in my new puppy, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with his care.

Experienced vet care at a truly affordable rate. Aside from Emancipet this is the only vet care that won't break the bank. The vet is also a true animal lover.

I definitely recommend Dr. Hardesty!! As we all look for a Vet to care for our fur babies, we look for someone that is compassionate and truly cares about your baby/babies. Dr. Hardesty has been our Vet for a few years now and we just love him!! He is amazing with our pets and is very caring! The place may not seem like a fancy Vet office like some of the others, they have been around for a very long time. I was skeptical at first, but once I gave them a chance I knew I would be going there as long as I lived in the Austin area. The prices are great and like I said before, Dr. Hardesty is a very caring and loving doctor. He truly cares about my babies! I recently had to take my dog in for a hematoma on his ear. He was seen and was told the cost and to my amazement it was 99% much cheaper
