Update (19/08/2015): So we have moved to Canyon Lake, and this is still going to be our vet. Through the death in 2014 of my old Siamese coot, to Hopscotch's fight against all odds after we brought him home, to the handsome, paralyzed Mr. Guest we found in the street (who finally found a good home with his foster mother in Austin); the staff has been compassionate and understanding with the diverse needs of our furry family. Added to that that you can schedule multiple pets in one visit, as well as the staff's willingness to work with you on unexpected events, and there's no reason for us to go anywhere else!
Original Post: This is the third vet I've used here in San Marcos, and I only wish I'd discovered them 5 years ago. The first vet I tried was okay at first. I assumed the prices were reasonable and tolerated the front desk (usually someone's daughter in high school) constantly putting me on hold and then ignoring me until 5 (when she hung up on me). Eventually, it grew to be too much of a hassle despite the convenience of it being right down the road. So I started using Four Paws. They were great, but crazy expensive and a bit too far out (practically in Wimberley). So then I started using this vet.
Pros:
Advantage II is about $15 cheaper here than the previous 2 vets I used.
Extremely friendly staff. They'll remember you, too.
Can schedule multiple pets (including different species) in the same visit for the cost of just 1 office visit.
If you stop in for a quick checkup on a sick pet (like after finishing a round of medication), there's often not a visit fee.
Vaccines are reduced on Wednesdays and Fridays.
They don't push unneeded/unnecessary treatment/vaccines, especially on older animals. In fact, they'll recommend the opposite and give helpful advice, too.
They will try to accommodate walk-ins as best they can.
Cons:
The office is a bit small, so the waiting room can get a bit crowded at times due to their popularity and that they will try to fit in walk-ins. Read Less
