Orthopedic Surgery
Our orthopedic specialists perform complex joint and bone procedures using advanced surgical techniques. We treat fractures, ligament injuries, and developmental disorders with post-operative rehabilitation plans. Patients benefit from our specialized equipment and experienced surgical team dedicated to mobility restoration and pain management.
Digital Radiology
We utilize digital radiography for rapid, high-resolution imaging of internal structures. This technology enables accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal issues, respiratory conditions, and gastrointestinal abnormalities. Our board-certified radiologist consults on complex cases to ensure precise interpretation and treatment planning.
Pet Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facility offers safe, comfortable accommodation for dogs and cats. Canine guests receive supervised outdoor playtime while felines stay in a quiet, dedicated suite. We provide special dietary management and medication administration by trained technicians throughout their stay.
Dental Care
We offer comprehensive dental services including cleanings, extractions, and periodontal treatment. Digital dental radiography allows thorough evaluation of tooth roots and jawbone health. Our team provides home care guidance and preventive treatments to maintain oral health and overall wellness.
Emergency Care
While we handle emergencies during regular hours, our partners at Central Texas Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital provide after-hours critical care. Our doctors coordinate with specialists for advanced treatments including blood transfusions, intensive care monitoring, and surgical interventions for traumatic injuries.

Every single person at this clinic is hands down professional, friendly & knowledgeable. The Vets are amazing. Techs are amazing & Font desk staff is so kind & professional. It's so hard to find a front desk staff that is not condensending or rude. I trust my dogs with only the best & I have found the best! Thank you Capital Vet Clinic

I have only used Capital Veterinary Clinic twice, but I'm sold. They are so quick, professional, kind, affordable, knowledgeable... I'm over the moon with how great they have been. I have 5 dogs, and two of them had issues that needed to be addressed ASAP on different occasions. CVC took the time to chat and ask questions when I was booking the appointments and had my pups seen same day. I was blown away by how quick they were. And both my pups made full recoveries. I will be bringing all 5 of my pups to CVC for their routine visits moving forward. So happy to have come across this clinic.

My dog had oral surgery performed here that required two additional surgeries elsewhere to correct. I tried to see if we could work out a partial refund, but I was warned that it'd get tied up in litigation. I will refrain from rambling and going into too much detail, but I strongly recommend you find another location if you're in the Austin area. I wish I would have.

Very satisfied. Although we were not allowed to go inside they kept us informed the whole time. I've always been more than satisfied with their services.
