Report
Annie, our coming 11 year old Sheepadoodle dog, was recently seen for her annual checkup. The vet was on the floor with her, petting and talking to her, which allowed Annie to relax. Annie means the world to our family. Making the vet visit as pleasant as possible for her is critically important to us. Staff at Bastrop Veterinary Hospital accomplished that.

Excellent veterinarian clinic. Me and my family have been going to them for over 15 years. They have the best prices, never over charging and I absolutely love Dr. Dawson. She is absolutely amazing!!! Definitely my go to vet, I live an hour away and am happy to make the drive to see her. She is knowledgable and very kind, answers any questions or concerns I have and actually cares for my dogs. I received multiple phone calls checking up on my Raya and her puppies, no veterinarian clinic I've been to has ever done that, and I've been to many. That really ment a lot to me. It is hard to find a good

My older cat stopped eating and his blood work was good for his age. Dr. Wahl came up with the right treatment for Jack. By the second day he was eating and acting normal. Thank you Dr Wahl and staff!!!
