Dr. Dorset is a very knowledgeable veterinarian. Every time I have had her as my vet, I know that she will take good care of my pup. Furthermore, if you’re receptive enough, she will help you learn about your dog’s behaviors. She doesn’t make you feel guilty, but she explains how owners action can directly affect the dog’s behavior. I had another vet here one time and got belittled for my dog’s behaviors, she was not understanding of what could make my dog act anxious, she only made me feel bad. And she also said, “we can’t come in here and be best friends with every dog, you have to train her better”. I can understand the role I play with my dog, but dogs need positive reinforcement in the vet to associate it with good things. Immediately walking in and grabbing my dog’s leg (that was injured) will obviously make most dogs respond poorly. Vets do need to make an effort to be patient and build trust with anxious dogs. I understand that there’s a certain extent to a vets patience, as they don’t have all the time in the world, but you can give the dogs treats and greet yourself before invading their space. That’s why I love Dr. Dorset. She knows my dog, understands her behaviors, helps me learn what I can do better, and builds up trust with my pup every time we are there. Vet techs are awesome and kind! I’m happy I have Dr. Dorset as the only vet I accept now and will continue to come here as long as she’s here. This clinic is awesome for a number of reasons, but Dr. Dorset is the #1 in my book :) Thank you!

Every single staff member is outstanding. They are kind and they really help me understand any questions I had. They are also reasonably priced! They will now be my vet for life.

This place is amazing. I have been taking my dogs here for years. I have had about everything you can possibly have done here. Most recently I had to have my dog’s tail amputated. They did such a good job, are so caring. It was about as good of an experience as you can have for something like that. I will continue to seek care for my dog here. Would recommend to anyone looking for a veterinarian.

I absolutely love this clinic and their staff, and I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else. Blitz is a very anxious, sometimes reactive dog, and since she’s also a big dog, I’ve received judgement in the past at other facilities or just dealt with people that didn’t even try getting to “know” her and just came in to do the bare minimum and left as soon as possible. Dr. Dorset is unbelievable, and she has helped me, Blitz, and my husband in so many ways with the care she has given her and her recommendations. She is compassionate yet firm and a “straight shooter” — I can always trust what she has to say. She is very knowledgeable, and I have noticed that my dog has improved a little bit each time she’s come to a visit as she’s gotten to know Dr. Dorset…they will probably never be besties and Blitz will always hate going to the vet, but she’s making it into a positive experience for her each time. Everyone else I have met at the clinic (techs, front desk) are also wonderful and responsive. Thank you all for what you do and the care you give my Blitz.

Had a great experience here! You can tell the staff really care and my kitten had a good time with them! Nice facility as well. They have a great kitten plan that covers all the things a kitten needs! Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Austin Bluffs Animal Clinic for 9 years. They have always gone above and beyond for my pets (both cats and dogs). One of my dogs just had a surgery with multiple incision points and they offered to help me get her into my car since she had several sensitive spots. Simple things like that show me they really care about my pets and that my babies are in good hands.
