The nonprofit national network of clinics, with four locations in the greater Austin area, is not a full-service practice that treats sick or injured animals. Instead, it offers walk-in services based on the most pressing needs within the local community, like spay and neuter surgeries, and preventative care like vaccinations, microchips, testing and medications.

This full-service clinic provides emergency and preventative care and more integrative services, including nutrition, genetic and behavioral consultations. Its staff also offers specialized diagnostic and therapeutic services and onsite surgical procedures, and patients benefit from its in-house laboratory and pharmacy.
