Manchaca Village Veterinary Care

I moved cross country to austin in 2024 and did a lot of research to find the right place for my cat. Its hard finding a new place in a new area that you trust. I relied on reviews such as the one im writing now! I didn't want a fancy corporate place that is selling you more of an aesthetic than a service. The staff is super nice...everyone from the front desk to techs and vets. They're knowledgeable and personable making vet visits less stressful for both pets and humans. They're great with cats moving at their pace and handling them with gentle care especially since cats can be unpredictable. My cat had to have dental surgery and they were amazing. Expectations of surgery day were clear and my cat make a swift recovery. They also partner with CareCredit to making billing less stressful. I drive 25 min to come here and its worth the visit every time.

We really love this clinic. The staff make it feel like a neighborhood vet clinic, but they operate with the efficiency and technology of big practices. You can book appointments and refill meds online, but they’re also always to help us via phone call or text message. The front desk is the best and Dr. Potter is the best human being and pet provider. They have helped us with general care, chronic issues like allergies and arthritis, and also emergencies. They took us in immediately and made us feel safe and calm and in control. I just love them so much. Great care.

We chose this clinic because of the positive Google reviews, but our experience was very disappointing. We brought our dog in for routine bloodwork and to establish care. Two vet techs and the veterinarian attempted multiple blood draws in front of us after asking if we were comfortable watching. Our dog remained calm and still for most of it, yet they were unable to obtain a sample. We were told the difficulty was due to her being overweight and having black fur. We found this odd since other clinics have never had trouble drawing her blood. After several failed attempts, they suggested we come back and heavily sedate her with trazodone. They initially told us to give “two pills the night before and two the day of,” and I had to ask for an exact dosage. The amount recommended (400 mg total) felt excessive for a simple blood draw, especially since her behavior was never the issue. She only became stressed after being poked repeatedly. There was little explanation or reassurance throughout the visit, and the vet’s bedside manner was poor. We left without completed testing and without confidence in the care provided. We will not be returning and would not recommend this clinic.

When we moved from another city it was hard to find a vet that felt like home as our previous one did. Luckily Manchaca vet is that place for us now even though we’ve moved further away from when we first started coming here It’s worth the additional driving to be somewhere that loves your pets as much as you do. It’s always a good sign when your hear the techs and doctors gushing about your beloved pets when they’re in the back 💛

Manchaca Village Vet worked with my schedule and their online system, Pet Desk was convenient. The vet techs were friendly, and Dr. Lubitz's expertise is always reassuring. I will continue to be a loyal client of MVV.
