We love Oliver. We always feel that our dog is in good hands. We have a 1.5 year old golden retriever who is VERY energetic and at times, unruly. Im sure he drives the vet and vet techs absolutely crazy, but they always come out with only nice things to say about him. Its a bit expensive, but we are paying for quality. It has never felt like a money grab type of place. They are really easy to contact (weve never gotten their voicemail and have never been on hold for an extended period). They have even stayed after their closing hours to finish taking care of our sweet boy.

The absolute best! Very thorough and caring! Diagnosed my kitten correctly and prescribed an eye drop which cleared his problem within a couple days. I went to a couple vets before I gave this place a try. This will be the only vet my animals will be going to from now on.

We've had nothing but positive experiences with Oliver Animal Hospital. They are comprehensive which was a pleasant surprise for us since we've been so used to getting vague follow-up from previous vets. They also stayed late (after closing time) to make sure our baby had all the procedures he needed. Very happy!

These folks are the best veterinarians we have had for our dogs and cats during our 34 years living in Austin. They are kindest and most experienced group of professionals we have encountered. Dr. Oliver and her excellent staff have been those we absolutely trust we the care of our 7 cats and 8 dogs that have been our much loved companions over most of those years.
