In Cedar Creek area for the summer from NC and one of my dogs came down pretty sick. Dr Burghardt waited for us to get there since it was right at closing. Super caring, thorough and got my dog taken care of in a timely manner. I even wound up taking my other dog there for shots. I'm so very appreciative of the wonderful care my fur babies received.

Our senior Cavalier was struggling with something and we needed a vet. After a number of attempts to be seen, Bastrop Vetinary Hospital gave us a time. Being new to the area we were looking to get established with a vet. What a well run professional operation. We caught a serious issue early. Thank you to Dr Wahl and a very competent staff for the prompt treatment. Connor is doing better already. Seems Connor has a Vet. We're very pleased.

I received a call from this office this morning. They informed me I cannot bring my dog for a nail trim on a Saturday. I had an appointment at 9:30. Keep in mind that every appointment I've made for the past five years has been on a Saturday unless I'm off work. They said she's aggressive even though her vet has told them she is not. Her vet wasn't at the office today for them to ask. She is not aggressive; she simply comes in a nervous wreck because she doesn't like riding in the car. She's a pit bull which might have something to do with it even though you would think a vet's office wouldn't discriminate against the breed. I'm furious with them!

I can't say enough about how caring and professional the whole staff is. From the way they answer the phone to set up an appointment, to the check out process after the treatment. I would recommend them to anyone looking for vet care. They helped me and my four legged family members at some of our most difficult times. They gave me facts without pressure or guilt to let us make the decision that was best for our family.

I recently stared taking my two cats here and the staff here are so friendly! Every single experience has been amazing! I often have to stop by to pick up a medication for one of my pets and even though there seem to be many, many phone-calls and people checking in/out constantly the front desk staff are so sweet/patient despite how busy it gets sometimes! Definitely an amazing office and I do appreciate all the hard work that the staff puts in to make it that way - it does not go unnoticed. :'
