We have used Sunset Canyon Vet for almost 14 years. Our recent visit was to explore a lesion on our newest dog that was of concern. It warrants more exploration. We fully trust that the vets at Sunset Canyon will find the answer and make the best recommendation possible to treat Abner.

Theres no one we trust more than Dr Portie to care for our dogs! We travel all the way from Pflugerville to Dripping Springs, if that tells you anything! Dr Portie is so kind to our boys, and we know they are in the best hands for all their needs, ranging from annual physicals to dental cleanings, where sedation is required. Thank you, Dr Portie and staff!

Dr Portie is always amazing! Hes thorough and will give you the straight facts but has a very sensitive and realistic approach to my dogs health. He presents a few choices for me to decide on so that I am comfortable with my dogs treatment plan. The techs are also very caring and great when handling my lil guy (cairn terrier)!
