How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PAZ Veterinary South

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Cannot recommend this practice enough. There are other vets in the area who will offer free exams in exchange for a 5 star review - Paz doesn’t need to do that because they truly earn those reviews through their excellent patient (and owner) care and great facilities. Thank you for taking such good care of my (difficult) kitties! The expertise and patience we get here are so appreciated.

Loyal customer since my friend recommended it. My doggie is 4 yo and we have been going to Paz for the full 4 yrs. My dog loves it, and the toys and treats 🐶 We’ve done everything here. Vaccines, spayed, emergencies, consultations…

This was the primary vet to my 10 year old son, Flame. They were all so very kind, I knew I could always trust them. They helped me a lot on my cat’s crazy journey. Even to the end. I am thankful to every single person who worked with Flame and I! I would love to come back here if I have another baby. I learned a lot of things throughout this adventure, and I just know this place can teach me a whole bunch more!

We used to go to Paz East and had a great experience. When we moved south, we thought it was an easy choice to switch to Paz South. We brought my dog here for a limp and broken dew claw. When they took X-rays to investigate the limp, they didn't capture the entire foot. They didn't have an explanation for why the X-rays were incomplete. They also trimmed my dog's nails while he was under, and one of them bled due to being cut too close to the quick. I can't recommend this Paz location, since no dog should come home bleeding unnecessarily! I added one star for quick communication from the front desk.

Dr. Julien and the staff are INCREDIBLE. Our girl was given 3 months to live and euthanasia was recommended by another vet. We went to Dr. Julien for a 2nd opinion, not only did he do her surgery for an incredibly fair and reasonable price, he did a great job. she healed wonderfully and Dr. Julien was there for us every step of the way. This was 3 years ago, and now Camper is 13 and cancer free. I cannot recommend them enough. We bring all of our animals to see Dr. Wilson now. I was sad to find out Dr. Julien no longer took on new patients and stopped working at Paz South. But then we met Dr. Wilson and I'm very impressed, she's just as good as Dr. Julien, maybe even better 🤭😘🤣. Seriously they're both very good doctors. There was another Dr. there that almost made us leave, he was terrible. BUT thankfully he no longer works there and the rest of the staff, from front desk to vet tech made us try again. I'm so happy and pleased we gave them another try. They're definitely our forever Austin vet.
