This is a great Clinic. I have been going there for over a year for both my cats and my small dog. They are always so helpful and friendly there. My dog loves coming to the vet, he doesn't see it as a frightening experience. He loves all the attention he gets from the staff. They make it a safe and relaxing environment for my pets. I live all the way in Cove and I believe the drive is well worth it. They are reasonable priced and I recommend them to all my friends. Read Less

Had to take our baby to a VET in Austin they are good but not my BAR N but we travel back and forth in the summer its nice to know I have some one close by BUT I will always call BAR N for guidance. in fact I just got off the phone with them due to my husband giving 10 pounds more to my baby which made the VET here in Austin think we are not feeding our dog. It was an emergence thing could not drive back 2 hours. The VET in Austin wants to see him in 10 days but we got the med records and my baby will go to BAR N for a recheck. Read Less

One of the nurses that was there was with Sugar since the very beginning. 5 months ago, it was my 9yr old Doberman, Azara. 5 years ago, it was my 14y old lab-retriever mix, Nala, albeit we put her down at home as I didn't want her suffering another hour. We gave her some of mom's morphine she had for her bone cancer and put Nala down ourselves. The staff is that amazing that we've used this office for that long.
