Hello there friends. Just wanting to let you know that we are currently having technical issues and our phones lines are not working great. If you need to contact us please email us at [email protected]

10/25/2023

Effective December 9 2023, Austin Vet Care at Central Park will temporarily close to prepare for an exciting relocation. Our team will continue to see patients through December 9th.

The decision to relocate is driven by our commitment to providing the best care for your beloved pets. Our current facility requires significant updates to meet the evolving needs of our patients, and we believe that a new location will allow us to offer even better services. We are diligently working on this transition and anticipate opening our doors at the new location in late 2024.

We want to make your pet’s temporary transition to another hospital as easy as possible. After December 9th, our Austin Vet Care at Central Park veterinarians will be practicing out of the following partner locations. We hope you will continue your pet’s care with them. Please contact these hospitals directly after December 9th to schedule an appointment with your vet.

Dr. Adrienne Gwin and Dr. Catherine Lamkin - Westlake Animal Hospital (7.1 miles away)
Dr. Mark Cotnam - Austin Vet Care at Metric (8.6 miles away)

In addition to the pet care options above, the following hospitals are part of Thrive Pet Healthcare's cohesively linked network, providing for a seamless transfer of your pet’s records. We hope you will consider our local network as a care option for your pet.

Thrive Pet Healthcare - Austin East (4.9 miles away)
Thrive Pet Healthcare - Oltorf (5.6 miles away)
Research Pet and Bird Hospital (8.9 miles away)
Thrive Pet Healthcare - Manchaca (13.2 miles away)
Thrive Pet Healthcare - Round Rock (14.9 miles away)
Cypress Creek Pet Care (17.4 miles away)
Animal Care Clinic (18.5 miles away)
Thrive Pet Healthcare - Cedar Park (19.4 miles away)

Good news if you have a Thrive Plus membership – you can still use it at any of our 10 primary care practices in the Austin area! View Thrive Plus membership locations by visiting the website and selecting membership enabled on the location search.

If you wish to receive a copy of your pet’s records, please email us at [email protected]. Your pet’s medical records will be available in our system and can be forwarded even after December 9th.

We apologize for any disruption this relocation may cause, and are truly thankful to have served you and your pet at AVC Central Park. We look forward to seeing you again when we open our new location!

Hello friends! Rosa here just reminding you that walking your dog on hot pavement can cause blistering/abrasions to his/her paw pads 🙁
‼️Always check the asphalt prior to allowing your pet to walk on it

☀️ Tips for keeping your dog safe in this Texas heat: 1. Walk your dog when it’s cool. Morning or late evening.
2. Stay on the grass and/or shady areas if walking your dog during warmer times of day.
3. Check your dogs paw pads daily for any signs of damage.

Did these flea and tick facts surprise you? It’s hard for your pet to thrive while suffering from a parasite infestation.
In addition to causing itchy skin, fleas can infect humans and pets with diseases like tapeworm, cat-scratch fever, and the plague (yes, it’s still a thing and on the rise!). Ticks carry several diseases that can cause serious health problems for your
pet, such as Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and more.

Luckily, prevention has never been easier - your primary care veterinarian can recommend a variety of preventive flea and tick medications, depending on your pet’s unique needs and your family’s lifestyle. Talk to your veterinarian about your
pet's options and get them the protection they need today.
