The vet you can reach before you have decided how worried to be.
A three-vet practice on West 34th Street since 2009. Dogs, cats, rabbits and small mammals. Our prices are on this website, and so is the list we would read you over the phone.

Is this an emergency?
The three lists below are the ones we give over the phone. If your animal is in the first one, do not read the rest of this page. Come in, and call from the car if somebody else is driving.
Come now
Call from the car if you can. Someone will be waiting at the door.
- Struggling to breathe, or gums that look blue, white or grey
- Collapsed, or unable to stand
- Hit by a car, even if they got up and seem fine
- Straining to urinate and producing nothing, especially a male cat
- A hard, swollen belly, or retching with nothing coming up
- A seizure lasting more than two minutes, or one after another
- Bleeding that has not stopped after five minutes of pressure
- Eaten chocolate, xylitol, grapes, raisins, rat bait or any human medicine
- In labour and pushing for more than thirty minutes with no puppy or kitten
Call today
Ring us during opening hours. We keep same-day slots back for exactly this.
- Vomiting or diarrhoea more than twice, or any blood in either
- Has not eaten for twenty-four hours
- Limping and will not put the foot down at all
- An eye held closed, cloudy, or weeping
- Drinking noticeably more than usual, or asking to go out at night
- A wound that is swollen, hot, or has started to smell
- A cat that has stopped grooming, or is hiding somewhere new
Book this week
Nothing here needs an emergency slot, and none of it improves on its own.
- Scratching, chewing at feet, or shaking the head
- A lump that has been there a while and has not changed
- Bad breath, or brown tartar along the back teeth
- Gaining or losing weight slowly over months
- Nails, anal glands, or a routine check
- A vaccination that is due, or one you have lost track of
If you are not sure which list you are in, that is what the phone is for. Nobody here has ever been annoyed by a call that turned out to be nothing.
Every price we charge is on the site.
A consultation is $65. A cat spay is $250. The out-of-hours exam is $195. You should not have to ring a clinic to find out whether you can afford to bring your animal in.
Consultations
- Standard consultation15 minutes, one animal$65
- Extended consultation30 minutes, or two animals$95
- Follow-upWithin 14 days, same problem$35
- Second opinion30 minutes, bring the records$110
- Out-of-hours examThrough Austin Pet Emergency$195
Three vets, four nurses, and no rotating locums.
You can ask for the vet who saw your animal last time and you will get them. Each of them has something they are known for, which is on their page rather than implied.
The answers we give on the phone, in writing.
Six of the questions we are asked most, answered properly. Not blog posts. The same words we would use standing in the consult room.
- What actually counts as an emergency?
- Your first six months with a puppy
- Getting a cat into a carrier without a fight
- The vaccination schedule, in plain terms
I called at ten past seven on a Sunday about a cat that could not pee and a human being answered and told me exactly what to do. I have not taken an animal anywhere else since.
The prices are on the website. I found them before I found the phone number, and that is the entire reason I called them and not the place closer to me.
Dr Okafor sees our rabbits and actually knows what he is looking at, which sounds like a low bar until you have taken a rabbit to three vets who did not.
West 34th, between Shoal Creek and Lamar.
