Spicewood Springs Cat Hospital

Kay Galuppo

I started bringing my cat here after an incident at a different Vet that resulted in my cat becoming highly reactive and difficult to handle at appointments. The staff never got frustrated with her, and have been able to work with her without causing additional stress. I wish I had found Spicewood Springs first so that we didn't have to go through the trauma with the previous vet. We have also used their boarding services for our other senior cat who is on a strict medication schedule. It took a lot of stress out of our travel knowing he was in good hands. The staff has always been kind and attentive, and I would recommend them to anyone with anxious or high maintenance kitties.

Excellent staff! Have used the Dog location before and drive thru here for her prescription food. I decided to take in a 1 week old abandoned kitten for the first time a few months ago. They were extremely informative over the phone and friendly. The location is clean with a a drive thru pharmacy even open shortly on weekends. We did our third checkup today and first shot. The lovely tech even informed the doctor of our previous visits before hand. Extremely professional to do. I have never had a Kitten and probably wouldn’t have if this location didn’t exist and help guide me. Heidi and I highly recommend!

For the review scrollers looking for a real tried and true experience, please read my review, especially if you’re a “Crazy Cat Lady” such as myself looking for the best feline care in Austin.. I first found out about Spicewood Springs Cat Hospital funnily enough when my parents were in town and we went to Galaxy Cafe for dinner. My dad who’s from a rural state pointed out “ Hey, a cat hospital! They have those?” I was surprised to hear of one myself as most veterinary establishments I’ve taken my sweet girl to before, I felt that their care was more focused on dogs and that some vets were sometimes clueless on cat care. Literally the next day I brought my dainty dame Luna ( aka Lunafish, aka Capt Squeak aka The Feesh) to have a wellness check up as she’s going on 11 now and is approaching her Golden Girl years. We were introduced to Dr. Goldenberg and I myself having anxiety in general, you can imagine my anxiety for my best four-legged friend. I was so impressed with her patience with me and my fast talking, endless questions, her care of Luna, her expertise of feline and animal care that I’ve decided that that this Cat Hospital is THE place for my Luna’s care. As I’ve taken her to the dreaded Banfield for most of Luna’s life and then some other vet clinic in Austin who’s care and treatment of their clients was less than desirable, I have been always greeted by the caring staff at the front desk with warmth and welcome, the technicians are gentle and easy to understand with the veterinary jargon and very patient as well with the clients. Having worked in several veterinary hospitals and clinics throughout my life in my home town when I was a vet tech assistant, I’ve.. seen things lol. So that furthers my anxiety. Yet again I cannot say enough of Dr. Goldenberg’s patience with me and I love how she is receptive to feedback from her clients as well, instead of coming off as a know-it-all vet who talks down to their clients (looking at you Crestview) Of course I respect the knowledge of animal care with Dr. Goldenberg and her many years of experience as an exceptional Veterinarian and feline expertise. So I’ll end my incredibly long winded review with saying, thank you to all of the staff and doctors at Spicewood Springs Cat Hospital. Thank you to your endlessly patient receptionists for your patience with us crazy cat ladies and thank you to the excellent care from your technicians. It’s not an easy job and I know it’s rewarding when you love animals as much as the client loves their animal friend. I literally am baffled by the very few 1 star reviews from years past and am sorry for their not typical experience. Also for the review scrollers, ignore the “Thing 1” review. That is clearly a troll racking up Google points. I knows em’ when I sees em’.

They have always been really great with my cats and me. I am autistic, and the vets are really good about being patient and talking with me, because sometimes I have a lot of questions and I’m scared. It’s very helpful that they are patient with me and make sure that I understand. They also have treated my cats like one of their own, and are very patient and kind with them too.

The folks at Spicewood Springs are always kind and attentive. We have brought our pets to these fine folks for decades. Wouldn't take our fur babies anywhere else.
