Our Story

Your Trusted Veterinarian in Bastrop, TX

This community is our home. Our doors have been open to the people and pets of Bastrop since 1974, and through every decade we have held a simple guiding principle: put people and pets first.

We are proud to serve our local community. Decisions are made based on what’s best for you, your pet, your family, and our neighbors.

Our 7-doctor team cares for the full range of animals that make Central Texas home: dogs, cats, horses, cattle, goats, small ruminants, and pocket pets and exotics.

Family only gets the best — and to us, you are family.

What We Stand For

Four promises we make to every patient

01 / Like Our Own

Every animal, like ours.

We treat every dog, cat, horse, and goat with the same care we’d give our own. No shortcuts. No “good enough.”

02 / Love Knows No Size

Small to large, all welcome.

One team, caring for every kind of animal across Bastrop County.

03 / Better by Standard

Big-city medicine in a small town.

AVMA-member doctors, USDA-accredited services, in-house diagnostics, full pharmacy. Standards that travel.

04 / Family First

Proud to serve. Always.

Decisions are made for your family, our community, and the long term — never quarterly targets.
