Dr. Griffith is amazing! I have a reactive/highly anxious rescue and he has gone above and beyond to work with us. He's a caring, knowledgeable and all around excellent vet. We have seen other vets on staff and they are equally as caring and knowlegable. I highly recommend Griffith Small Animal Hospital for the furry members of your family! Read Less

Love Griffith Small Animal Hospital!! Absolutely would not take my fur babies ANYWHERE else! Dr. Griffith has taken amazing care of our babies since my parents moves to Austin in '87. If you wants your pets to get the best, most loving vet, bring them here. Read Less

Very impressed with this clinic. We are new to Austin and visited for the first time today. The vet (Dr. Matt) was extremely knowledgeable and referenced current research when answering my questions. He was also very helpful in setting up a long term plan for managing my cat's asthma. The technicians and front desk staff were very friendly and were flexible when we had to reschedule. My cat felt very comfortable in their exam room and they were very gentle with him during the exam and shots. We even got a new patient goodie bag! We will be back! Read Less

I recommend going somewhere else if you're needing PennHip or OFA x rays done. The radiographs performed on a sedated dog were poorly positioned and Dr. Boggs, the only vet that does that it seems, gets defensive and unprofessional when that is pointed out. I was thinking of switching my personal and in-training dogs to this clinic (which varies from 12-20 dogs) because I adored the sweet tech and nice front desk, but the vet left a very bad taste in my mouth, so that won't be happening. Dr. Boggs is completely satisfied with her work, and tells me to go somewhere else. We have many vets in Austin, and you can do better for your fur family! Read Less

Wow - we started going to this vet clinic as a friend referred us. We are so glad we did! The vet techs were so affectionate and kind with our 2 dogs. The vet, Dr. Matt is awesome! He is informative and current on recent studies and the latest science, yet caring and kind and was able to get our very skeptical Shepherd mix to really like him and trust him. They really listened to our questions and Dr. Matt was very thorough in answering everything. He is a great vet, and the clinic is 5 star too! Read Less

I've been a client at Griffith Small Animal Hospital for over 15 years and have seen most of the doctors there for both my Golden Retrievers. Although Dr. Skylar is my preferred vet and she is AMAZING, I've also seen Dr. Boggs, Dr. Tan, Dr. Krueger and Dr. Matt who are all equally fantastic. Everyone who works there from the front desk staff to the vet techs are top notch. I cannot recommend this vet enough! Read Less

Have seen most Veterinarians @Griffith over the years including Griffith, Boggs, Krueger, Wheeler, and Tan for my pet care as I have been a loyal customer for many many years. My latest few visits for 2 new kittens from the animal shelter were with Dr Tan - She is awesome! just like every Vet-RockStar on the Griffith team. And the staff and techs are 5+ stars too. I highly recommend Griffith Small Animal Hospital. Go see em, they provide great care and thoughtful dedication for your family pets. Read Less

Over the past 17 years I have taken three dogs to Griffith Small Animal Hospital, and when I got a puppy last year I did not for a moment consider any other option than GSAH for his veterinary care. Dr. Krueger has all the qualities I could hope for in a vet; she is compassionate, very knowledgeable and communicative. When my previous dog showed symptoms that turned out to be late-stage cancer, Dr. Krueger explained the diagnosis, discussed options and told me what to expect in his last weeks life. Now my new dog is more than a year old and Dr. Krueger has provided helpful information and guidance to get him off to a wonderful start. The technicians and administrative staff are exceptional too. When we turn into the parking lot at GSAH my dog can't wait to go inside! GSAH has my highest recommendation. Read Less

Ellen and Dr. Miner we're superstars, showing the utmost patience and kindness, when dealing with my very neurotic yorkie! Lexie is, by far, the most anxious dog I've ever owned -- she came to me 3 years ago, at the age of 10, from a neglectful home.When I got her she was fearful of everyone and everything. I'm certain the majority of her life was spent in a small crate and she'd not been socialized at all. If you know the breed, you know how difficult they can be if not trained well. Unfortunately, Lexie will never live among other animals, but she's learned that humans are good... MOSTLY.Her separation anxiety is still very pronounced making any vet or grooming near impossible. Taking a blood sample from her usually ends in her being poked several times, bruising, and her freaking out.Needless to say, I've struggled to find a vet willing to deal with her and whom also has the ability to do so. Today we found those folks at Dr Griffith Small Animal Hospital!! I couldn't be happier!Thanks SOOO very much to Ellen for getting blood on the 1st try and for assuring me that she & Dr Miner would be everything that crazy little Lex needed. You were right!I was impressed and tremendously grateful! Read Less

The staff is efficient and friendly, the doctors are kind and knowledgeable and it is a very warm place to take your pet. I love this place and you feel as if your pets are part of their family. I would recommend it to anyone :-) Read Less

Sorry, but $300 for a couple of stitches?  I don't have any doubt that the vets are good. And I know a business is not cheap to run, but having run my bill past 2 other vets and my pet insurance company, all agreed that it was excessive.  There are several great vets here in Austin that have the same level of service and are just as up to date (or more) on their technology.  Afraid I can't recommend them with prices like that. I know a couple of other friends who used them and thought they were fine, but went elsewhere because they were so expensive.  Gird your pocketbooks... Read Less

Been going here with our pets for many years and our pets have always been loved on and well cared for.  The vets are loving toward the animals and hug them like they are their own.  Dr. Boggs is our regular vet but Karen Wheeler provided acupuncture for several years on an Alaskan Malamute that couldn't take pain medication.  Everyone has always been great - wouldn't dream of taking my pets anywhere else. Read Less

Griffith Small Animal Hospital is a wonderful place to bring your pet! Everyone who worked there was incredibly kind, easy, and made an effort to ensure that our puppy, Sage, was comfortable during her visit. Dr Wheeler was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We recently left our previous vet because we felt that they were rather pushy and attempted to "upsell" on various unnecessary exams and additional procedures. It was clear that Dr Wheeler had the best interest of our pet in mind, not the revenue of the clinic. I would highly recommend Griffith SAH and Dr Wheeler! Read Less

I cannot imagine a more perfect place to take a pet you truly love than this place after my brief but tough experience with them. We were moving across state rather suddenly, and needed a place to board two of our cats. They were able to make room until we could come and pick them up, and right away I could tell we chose the right place. Well, a few days after arriving in the other state, we received a phone call. Our poor cat had a stroke that morning, and couldn't walk or see. We had to make a pretty tough decision rather quickly, and as hard as it was, the staff here helped make it as easy as possible. They even tried to drag the phone cord over to him so he could hear us say we loved him one last time, but sadly it wasn't long enough to reach. Regardless, they promised to tell him for us. It's an incredibly hard thing to not be there, but I have the utmost confidence that the staff here did everything they could to make this transition as easy as possible for him. Much to my surprise, they even went so far as to find a place that would cremate him free of charge, and we received his ashes in a beautiful box with his name carved on it. My fiance went back to pick up our other cat, and we could tell she was treated so well and with a lot of love. Today, we also received a card in the mail from Dr. Tan and staff with a personal note. I can't even begin to explain how much that means to us, and goes way above and beyond what I would ever expect from a business. If you live in Austin and need a place that will treat your animals like their own family, this is it. Words cannot truly describe the authenticity of their compassion and care, and your animals will be in good hands here. I'm terrible with names, but I'll make sure my fiance also leaves a review and all those who were involved in making this tragic experience as easy as possible are recognized.Read Less

My dog needed prompt attention for an issue. Being able to take him in at 7am and make it to work on time was such a relief and considerate of the customers need to take care of their pet and take care of their daily responsibilities. I think Griffith employees are professional and well-suited to take care of visiting animals. I have spent time with Dr. Tan and Dr. Griffith, and both seem to be very caring and considerate of you being the pet owner.  Both also have excellent "bedside manner".   I have been to other Vets that are good and reliable, but seem to preach down to you and end up creating a laundry list of expenses that you get to pay for. I have not found that to be the case with Griffith. Read Less

I am so impressed by this practice and staff. The level of geniune care is outstanding. Vet techs and receptionists are very knowledgable and care about learning more. I have been to so many clinics, but I feel like Griffith is passionate about their animals whereas sometimes you see others who have simply taken a job. Dr. Skyler is of course, a knock out vet, but her team (including kennel techs) are super with great attitudes and answers. Very thankful for them! Wish I had known about this vet when I moved to Austin 5 years ago. Now, we drive in from Bastrop Read Less

I can't say enough about Dr. Susan Skyler and Dr. Bob Griffith. I don't know of anyone that cares more about my pets than Dr. Skyler. She is brilliant and always innovative with ingenious solutions for our cat, Brodie. Dr. Skyler recommended hiding small amounts of food to address her hyper-focus on eating (rescue kitty). Brodie is not yelling to be fed all of the time. It is also fun to watch Brodie look for her meals and see her amazing acute sense of smell. Thank goodness Dr. Griffith created such a wonderful place to support my animals over the years. Read Less

Dr. Boggs is far and away the best ferret vet I have ever had. She cares as much about their care as I do, is familiar with the latest ferret veterinary research, and makes thoughtful suggestions about what I should do with the information we have. If this vet would carry the special food my ferrets need, I could not possibly be happier here. Read Less

They are always kind, warm, and totally understanding. Dr.Boggs explained everything thoroughly and was patient with me. They build a stronger relationship with Maddi every time we come in and really try to make her feel comfortable. We are new clients but I'm know Maddi will be coming back here for any and all things vet related.Read Less

When my personal physician retired, all I could say was, "Thank goodness it is not my vet, Dr. Skyler---what would I do without her." Actually I have been going there for about 20 years and couldn't be happier. I so appreciate the level of communication I get from Dr. S. who knows I really like to know in detail what is going on. And Dr. Wheeler has been so attentive, communicative and effective, especially including her work with acupuncture. Dr. Tan was so attentive to three rescue Airedales with special needs that were tended to at the clinic. I could go on and on--suffice to say that I know we are in good hands at this wonderful clinic Read Less

GSAH is a great place to take your pet. I have had two dogs there, and found ALL the vets to be great: helpful, compassionate, communicative, knowledgeable, and caring. I have had experiences elsewhere with vets who had many of these traits, but to have ALL of them is rare. Dr. Miner has taken excellent care of my dogs, and when she was out during an acute episode, Dr. Wheeler really went the extra mile to make sure my dog got the right diagnosis and good care (he had a malignant tumor, but the ensuing surgery seems to have gotten it all). And the front office staff does an excellent job as well. We are now dealing with some on-going joint issues, and Dr. Wheeler is trying very hard to maintain a happy dog', even as he ages. Read Less

If my dog could type she would highly recommend Griffith Small Animal Hospital. How do I know? Because she jumps out of the car and runs (on a leash) to get to the door. Once inside she patiently waits her turn (which isn't long) and doesn't appear stressed. She happily goes back to the examining room and greets the technician and Dr. Miner when they enter. Dr. Miner is thorough in the exam and explains her findings and recommendations clearly to "us". When it's time to leave my dog walks calmly and doesn't strain to get back in the car. She has had surgery and gotten stitches removed, so it hasn't been all fun and games. At another clinic she backed out of her collar in an attempt not to return. Her behavior at Griffith tells me she trusts them. I trust that they truly care about her, her health and her well being. I am a satisfied customer because my dog is a satisfied customer! Read Less

We have been fans of Griffith Small Animal Hospital for almost ten years. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Skyler has given amazing care to our Bengals. She and the staff have helped us through very difficult decisions to put down 2 of our Bengals at different times. Their care and attention to detail have been so appreciated. We have now welcomed our 4th Bengal who is currently under their care with no worries. If you are searching for a dedicated and caring team to work with for your pets care, we highly recommend this great group of people. Special thanks to this team for taking such great care of our pets! Read Less

There is not a better group of caregivers for my pups ever! We have four dogs who are under the care of these fine people. Doctors and staff are on top of their game. They have provided excellent care for our family over several years. Absolutely love this group!!! Read Less

I looked at a bunch of reviews for different vet clinics near my home and chose Griffiths Small Animal Hospital. So far, my wheaten terrier has seen Dr. Debbie Krueger twice and loves her! The clinic is always clean, the staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and I can't say enough about Dr. Krueger! So happy I found Griffiths! Read Less

Griffith was recommended to me by a family friend when I moved to Austin last year. I've since had a few emergencies with my cat and they've been awesome in helping. Jasper had to have emergency teeth removal and came out fine, was back to normal in a couple days, and hasn't had issues with it since. He had some sort of nausea issue where he was throwing up and having diarrhea on and off for 2 weeks, and he was immediately cured that day after some meds and an easy-to-digest diet. He currently is having issues with crystals in his urine and a tract infection, but I'm hoping this will be cleared up soon without any serious procedures. Dr. Miner is very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very caring. She has never once seemed rushed with me, explains what's going on step by step, and so far everything she has offered has worked wonders. She has never recommended doing any unnecessary procedures and likes to try the lesser approach first before trying the more expensive and more invasive procedures, which I appreciate. I trust her call on anything she recommends. Every single one of the techs has been sweet and very caring. You can tell they all truly love animals and show compassion every time they get near him. Some of the front desk gals can due to be a little more attentive and outgoing, but since they aren't in charge of the care of my animal, I'm not too concerned with that. The prices there are comparable to most vets. Taking your animal to the vet is never cheap, but I'm never too shocked by the bill in the end. They also have managed to fit me in the same day every time I've needed to come (3 times now), despite being very booked up. They understand that an emergency is an emergency and they want to help, so they have worked me in within 20 minutes. Read Less

A HUGE thank you to Griffth Small Animal Hospital and staff member, Lindsey.I had been trying to get my dog's Rx filled all day at Walgreens.  After visiting 2 different stores and still coming up short and called HEB to transfer it.  They then asked me to call since they had been on hold for almost 30 minutes.  Needless to say, I got the run around from Walgreens.I called Griffith to see if they could contact HEB with a new Rx.  Lindsey, graciously took care of everything just 20 minutes before closing.Griffith has always been so accommodating and I have never had anything but awesome experiences with the entire office.Thank you!!!Monica, Bella, Ruby and Boogie Monster Read Less

I have taken both of my pups here a few times now and I have to say I love everyone there.  The staff at the desk is so friendly and helpful, the techs I've met have all treated my dogs with care and Dr. Krueger is amazing and thorough and so very very helpful. I never feel like I'm being rushed when I'm there and I always feel like I'm getting the best possible care.  I will be coming back here for years to come and recommending the entire team here to everyone I meet. Read Less

Our dogs have been going here for 7+ years now, and they have always treated our pets with the perfect combination of compassion and professionalism.  Initially we used Griffith out of convenience, however now moving further away, I would not consider going anywhere else.  I would like to mention Dr. Minor in particular, as she helped us through a particularly difficult illness with one of our goldens, and her sincere concern and dedication meant so much to us.  The office staff and techs are also wonderful, and one of the reasons we will always come back! Read Less

Dr. Griffith is a gem. I've been bringing Iggy, my golden retriever, and Chloe, my beagle, to him since they were pups. They're 10 years old now and we drive in from San Antonio because I wouldn't trade him for anything. This clinic provides humane, compassionate care for all animals. Read Less

5 stars for Dr. Boggs and crew (my first post here, but that's a standard grade in my experience). Thank you for seeing Dexter so quickly after an unannounced drop off this morning at 8 a.m.  A restless night last night for both Dexter, my 9 y/o Golden who was in gastric distress (obstruction? - no, but we didn't know for sure), and me.  Apparently the meds are working because he has been sacked out for 3+ hours after arriving home.  I appreciate Dr. Bogg's "keep it simple" approach and the courteous and helpful staff! Read Less

I hesitated to write this review because I would be just part of the chorus, but I figure every review helps. Also, I didn't see too many reviews regarding ferret care, so that might help someone in my situation.I live in Pflugerville but opted to drive my two little furball ferrets down here because of the Yelp reviews, and needless to say I was not disappointed. You can always tell a ferret person and ferret-loving vet's office when they tell you to let them out of the crate and run around. But Dr. Boggs was head over heals for my little guys. She kept picking them up and loving on them and playing with them, even after she had gone through the routine examination and asked me all the basic questions. She kept saying "I just love seeing such shiny, plump ferrets. It makes me so happy." Sure, I loved hearing we were doing things right with our little rescues, but no one says that if they don't really enjoy ferrets. And let's be honest, not everyone does. So I always feel so relieved when my vet gets a kick out of them and knows what a happy, healthy ferret should look like. But that's not the end of Dr. Boggs' amazingness.Fast forward to a months later, we had adopted a little Heinz 57 puppy dog who was bombarded by pretty much every dog illness in the first 6 weeks we had her. When she came down with kennel cough, our vet* informed us that it was highly contagious, even across species. I did the adult thing and called Griffith in a panic. The front desk person calmed me down, took down my information and promised me Dr. Boggs would get back to me. Not only did Dr. Boggs herself call me but she did so during the exact window I said I would be available on the same day. She confirmed it was contagious for ferrets but if they were going to get it the damage was done. She promised to squeeze my guys in if they started wheezing so not to worry. What kind of vet does that?! Especially for little ferrets, pets most people consider to be the equivalent of hamsters (which they aren't)! Dr. Boggs at Griffith Small Animal Hospital, that's who.*We take our pup, Lily, to a vet here in Pflugerville because 1) they are right around the corner, 2) most vets treat dogs but not all treat ferrets, and 3) they are also wonderful. Read Less

Dr. Miner is so good to us! She always calls me personally to discuss anything going on with Cash and calls intermittently to check in on us! She's a very special person and I am so grateful Cash is under her care! Read Less

When i had a very sick dog, who eventually passed away due to his illness, this was the ONLY clinic i visited who actually diagnosed him. It was just too late by the time they did. I visited at least 4 other clinics and even the fancy expensive specialty hospital in town. Even they let us & our dog down. Dr Wheeler, even after she had turned over our dog's care to the specialty hospital, never gave up trying to diagnose him, and she eventually did. When he passed away, they made a donation to an animal non profit in his name and mailed it to our house.I will always always always trust them whenever my dogs are sick. They couldnt save Rusty, but they tried harder than anyone else. THAT is what you want in a vet - forget any thing else. Read Less

My dog comes here so much that many of the office staff know his name as soon as we walk through the door. My nearly 16 year old pomeranian has had numerous health issues throughout the years, and Dr. Griffith and Dr. Wheeler have been his doctors.  Whenever he needs to be seen right away, they ALWAYS work him in, and give us their full attention and time even though they have a busy schedule.  They have treated him for gall bladder disease, bladder stones, a compressed disc (with treatment of acupuncture), low thyroid, and are now doing maintenance treatment for his kidney disease.  All of the staff here have a great attitude--the technicians, the front office, and the doctors.  I trust them 100%, and would never consider taking Dudley anywhere else.
