About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At the Austin Veterinary Clinic, a regular whispered one night as he left: ‘I swear I saw that vet talking to a cat.’ The next morning, staff found him sitting in his car with the window down, but no explanation could make sense of it. Later that week, a delivery driver mentioned offhandedly, ‘Hey, did you hear the vet was seen chatting up a dog?’ Staff shook their heads, laughing. Turned out, the vet had just been teaching an old pug some new tricks—everyone loves a good canine comedian around here.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Austin Veterinary Clinic with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, he heard a faint meowing sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old cat perched on top of a filing cabinet, purring contentedly. The cat looked up, yawned, and stretched before sauntering out the door, leaving behind a note that read: ‘Thanks for the late-night snack!’ Turns out, it was just a neighborhood cat who’d found a cozy spot.

3. At the Austin Veterinary Clinic, a delivery driver shook his head and muttered under his breath: ‘This place is like no other.’ As he approached the reception desk, an old neighbor walked in with her dog, scratching its ear affectionately. 'Hey,' she said cheerfully, 'I hear they can even understand what my pooch says!' The delivery driver just smiled, shaking his head again—this time laughing softly—and whispered, 'Welcome to Austin Veterinary Clinic, where nothing surprises us anymore.'

4. In the waiting room of the Austin Veterinary Clinic, a small child pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she exclaimed, ‘why is that doggy smiling back at us?’ The vet looked up and smiled. 'Oh, that's just our mascot,' she said. 'He’s been posing for patients since before you were born.' The little girl giggled, and her mom relaxed, relieved it wasn’t something more unusual.
