Dr. Honeycutt is the best. She is warm, very attentive and has the utmost care and concern for our little furbabies! She really goes above and beyond to explain what is going on and you never feel rushed. The ladies and gent at the front always welcome you with a smile and the techs are compassionate and sweet with my baby. I know I can be a little over the top sometimes but they all handle us with ease and care. Thank you so much for all you do!!!!

Lake Austin Blvd Animal Hospital was the BEST vet Ive taken my babies to so far! We move every 1-2 years so it can be hard to help the pets feel at home at a vet in that short time, but this place really treats us like family. I also love that we can communicate via text and I have always gotten a very fast response! I cannot recommend them enough.

Can’t say enough about LABAH. They have gone out of their way multiple times to demonstrate how compassionate they are with their patients. Dr. Honeycutt once stayed after her shift ended to see us when we called with an emergency. Their staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and you can tell they just care a lot. They are the best vet we’ve taken our pets to!

This is the vet I’ve been looking for since I moved to Austin 11 years ago! I’ve tried several in the city that ended up not being for me and my dogs so I decided to give these guys a try and I am not disappointed! Everyone that works here is genuinely super nice and friendly (which is really important to me). The vets go over everything with you and they actually listen to you when you have questions and concerns. You never feel like they are rushing through your appointment. They have never pushed anything unnecessary on me and have always been willing to try and work with my budget. I highly recommend this vet!

Ive been taking my dogs to LABAH since around 2011 and couldnt be happier with the care theyve received. They are a bit pricier that other vets in town, but they will never charge for something that isnt needed and your pet will receive the best possible care.

Lake Austin Animal Hospital is by far the best animal clinic in Austin. Ive been a client of several and they dont measure up. More specifically, I like their attention to detail and the concern they show my pets. Keep up the great work. Highly recommend.

I’ve been bringing my cat here for check-ups since I adopted him as a kitten. They’ve always been great and so professional. Recently, some tooth resorption was found in my little guy during his annual exam and we went forward with booking a surgery to extract the affected teeth. I can’t say enough about how great the LABAH team was throughout the entire process, from pre-surgery bloodwork to day of surgery and follow-up, I felt at ease and like my boy was in the best care possible. They truly treat your pet like it’s one of their own. Dr. McCarty was fantastic as well as the rest of the team, vet techs and front desk. My cat is soooo much happier following his surgery, more playful and affectionate. So happy to have him all fixed up and healthy- thanks LABAH!

Please avoid going here, esp. if your pet has a complex medical condition (i.e., FIV+). My pet had a missed diagnosis, which if found earlier, may have extended his life.I was not going to write this review because I know LABAH will reply with a defense blaming me as a pet owner and attacking me or they will cite that my cats immune system was compromised from his FIV+ and blame my dead cat. Please do not go here to avoid the pain that my family has dealt with:I took my FIV+ cat, Tony, here for the four years that I owned him after adopting him from APA. I had been happy with their care, overall. The doctors are well-intentioned, however, unfit for complex cases. Three years ago they diagnosed Tony with asthma, on top of his FIV+. Tony, this year, started having issues that seemed to be his asthma in March 2018. They prescribed more medication. When I returned from my honeymoon in May, after leaving him with a sitter for two weeks, Tony was not doing well: he was barely able to breath easily.When I took him back to LABAH, the different vet looked at the chart, and again cited asthma (as written on the chart, thus was anchored instead of thinking for herself) and prescribed the SAME pills that we had filled and he was already taking, after we told her he was already on them. We didnt realize this until we got the prescription refilled. We had to call to fix this and explain to them her logic, as nothing was notated on the chart. She had changed the prescription from what she verbally mentioned from being in the room, to going in the back, to returning to the room.We brought him back because it wasnt working. The new vet from the last, again, looked at the chart after we waited 60 minutes, even though we had an appointment, and again cited asthma and another medication. No tests were ordered for cancer between March - July or anything besides asthma as its Tonys asthma. No tests or action was ordered to test anything else. This is how doctors are trained to think: eliminate the worst possible situation, esp. after something persistently does not work. They did not do this.Tony was diagnosed at Austin Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center(AVES) with Nasal Lymphoma. Now, when I look at photos of him from last March, you can see one eye is larger than the other, indicating the tumor was behind it. AVES philosophy is to treat for the worst possible outcome to save your pets life.We took him to the best care, Texas A&M University Vet hospital, to remove his eye, as the tumor caused him to go blind in July. Within two days of the surgery, the tumor had spread to his left lymph node when it was not there prior. I think every day what would have happened if we had been able to treat the cancer earlier: would the cancer have not spread? Would he have not lost his eye? Sadly, due to the 5-month time loss between symptoms and accurate diagnosis, we dont know how much longer his life could have been.He went through radiation, then chemo and fought hard, and was able to live a happy life for another three months with these treatments. Once he was in pain and the chemo was no longer working, we let him go.We are heartbroken and still recovering from his sudden death. I hope that you greatly consider going to another vet over LABAH, esp. if you have an older pet, an animal with a weakened immune system or complicated medical history. LABAH is not the vet who will admit a situation is out of their care and refer him/her to others. In fact, they may even miss the diagnosis in a five-month window.These vets are kind and seem caring, but pack too many patients in a day. For us they missed key, potentially life-extending details in Tonys case. I really wish they had thought more critically, rather than followed what was on his chart and also took more time on his case, rather than processed his case to get to the next appointment. Most of all, I hope they read this, discuss it, and make changes as a hospital to provide better care for their current and future patients.

We took our two newly-adopted FeLV+ kitties from Austin Pets Alive! to LABAH, and were so impressed! They offer a complimentary post-adoption evaluation, so we were there for a free visit but they absolutely gave us their full attention and advice. Ashley was our technician, and Dr. Honeycutt out vet, and both treated our kitties with so much compassion. Well be bringing our cats back, and highly recommend the practice!

Refused to refill my dog’s seizure meds that they got him on, and he still needs. Do not recommend.
