Sunbury Veterinary Clinic

Dr. Sunbury and his staff are all awesome! We have been trusting them with our bulldogs for 10+ years and feel totally safe taking our fur family members to them. Bulldogs in general are pretty high maintenance dogs, but Dr. Sunbury’s personal knowledge and expertise, along with his compassion make us feel totally at ease whenever one of our little guys has an issue, not to mention the top notch care they get. We would totally recommend them to any pet owner, but especially bulldog owners!

I have seen Dr. Taylor since I moved to Austin a year and a half ago. I have two pomeranians, one with skin and hair loss issues and the other who is healthy, but barks alot. She has always given exceptional care to both of my dogs and is always very knowledgeable. The staff have always been so sweet and understanding. My one dog has such anxiety and the staff always does their best to calm her down and make her feel comfortable. My other dog has had thyroid problems and hair loss. Dr. Taylor has always done a good job to do everything possible to figure out the cause of his hair loss. I’ve always felt comfortable bringing my dogs to this veterinary office. The doctors all seem to work closely and every time I call with an issue they have access to my dogs files and know exactly what is going on with each one.

Okay, so let me start out on why I love this vet and will keep coming, then I will get into a few issues I have had. Dr. Sunbury is an AMAZING vet. He really cares about your animal! I have been going there for about 4 years now. When I had to take my grumpy old man in for a checkup, the front was VERY understanding that he was being annoying and the tech out the back came to help me pick him up and take him into a room. They also take the effort to get to know your dog. I also love Dr. Sunbury because he doesn’t try to penny and dime you. I will tell you that there was an occasion where I went to see the female vet because Dr. Sunbury wasn’t in and she charged me $ 15 to clean my dogs ears! It was definitely a surprise, because Dr. Sunbury NEVER charges me with those stupid overpriced additions. (Especially since I am in there at least every 6 months for my dogs ear infections, which he always cleans before putting the medication in). I also experienced some issues with the front/​back communication. Long story short, I took my dog in for an annual exam. They called back with her heart worm test results, but no blood work. I had been told on a previous visit that blood draws were pretty standard with annuals. I then call to find out what the update is, to find out they never did the annual wellness test on her! It doesn’t bother me that I had been told two separate things on two different occasions, it bothers me that nobody even asked if I wanted to do the annual blood work when I took her in for her annual exam, especially since she and my other dog had had that blood work done before. Seems logical to me that if you are taking your dog for an annual exam, it would be standard to get an annual blood test, or at least be asked if you want one. They said they will compensate me because if you get the annual blood work with the heart worm, it makes the heart worm test cheaper than getting it on your own, so it’s nice they are able to understand their mistakes. But it is an extra inconvenience and a bummer that I am going to have to put my dog through that again. I will continue to go there, because I have only had these two issues in the past 4 years with two dogs, so it could be worse!

I usually feel that I have to choose between compassionate, comprehensive care and honest care that I can afford when choosing a vet. With Sunbury, I feel that my pets are getting both.

Thank you Dr. Sunbury for making Niko feel right at home during his first encounter with the dreaded veterinarian!!! There’s not to many experiences that puppies seem to hate less than going to the vet! You are, after all, the person giving him his vaccinations. Nonetheless, you and your staff made our little guy feel right at home and he didn’t even seem to mind the injection.
You guys are definitely top notch and we are looking forward to spending several years using the Sunbury Veterinary Clinic.
NOTE: Niko, our chocolate lab puppy, was experiencing a severe case of diarrhea. The clinic took a fecal sample and had the results (and the necessary medication) back to us within 24 hours. Thanks again, we truly appreciate all that you do.

Fantastic service every time

Great place! I take my two kitten sisters here for their first wellness check, coco and Bentley. Dr brown was great and so was the staff and vet tech, Josh. I’ll be bringing the kiddos back for their full shot schedule and getting my older current on their shots this week. Yes, I have 4 cats LOL =]

I’m so grateful for the awesome Unilocal reviews that lead us to give Sunbury a try! We left behind our favorite vet in Minneapolis when we moved here last year and Sunbury was our first try with a new clinic. We could not be more pleased! The moment we walked in to the office the receptionists greeted us warmly and promptly lead us to an exam room. There was no typical sitting in a smelly waiting room as your pet’s stress levels rise by the minute (I think we had good timing as it was towards the end of the day). The waiting room was cute and clean so sitting there for a bit wouldn’t have been bad :) Everyone was so friendly and seemed to genuinely appreciate that we chose to bring our business there.
Our tech, Persia, was sweet as all get out and Dr. Campbell was equally amazing! Our cat, Gypsy, seemed very comforted by Persia’s gentle pets as Dr. Campbell listened to her breathing and gave her a shot. The whole experience left us feeling very confident that our cat’s wellness was top priority. All of our options were clearly explained and Dr. Campbell was very thorough, skilled and knowledgeable. We couldn’t be happier with our visit and are so grateful to have such a stellar clinic in Austin for our furry crew!

I happened upon Dr. Sunbury’s clinic by coincidence. My cat Zeus needed urgent medical care and Sunbury Vet Clinic happened to be right across the freeway from my apartment. I’ve been so pleased with the care we’ve received from Dr. Sunbury and staff and absolutely recommend them. When Zeus fell ill, Dr. Sunbury very quickly diagnosed him with chronic kidney disease and immediately assisted with a referral to a specialist (see my review of Central Texas Veterinarian Specialist Hospital). I have continued to see Dr. Sunbury for Zeus’ routine care and prescription food. I’m the type to ask a lot of questions and can get pretty anxious when my kitty is under the weather. They’ve tolerated my neuroses and have always been very compassionate. Thanks, Dr. Sunbury and staff!

I won’t trust anyone but the Sunbury team to take care of my four legged babies. My 12 year old rat terrier went in today for her shots and a cyst removal. Dr. Sunbury kept me updated every step of the way and treated my baby as if she were his own.
The Sunbury team never tries to push unnecessary procedures or medicine and they always have the best interest of my pets in mind.
A huge thank you to the whole Sunbury team.

I have taken my English Bulldog to Dr Sunbury for the last 5 years. He was recommended by other bulldog owners. I had two experiences with a female vet that works/​worked there and was not happy so I make sure all my appointments are with Dr. Sunbury. He is amazing and sees a lot of Bulldogs which is important for the breed.

First time visiting the clinic. Recently moved nearby and read the positive reviews.
My Dog (Hoover) was suffering from a bit of a flea related infection and needed good treatment. The Office staff was very friendly and helpful. They weighed my dog, took previous records and got her right in to a room.
The wait was a bit long, but understandable later why. Dr Campbell was probably one of the top Vets I habe ever taken my dog too. She was very hands on and I could tell right away she does this job for the love of the animals and not just for money. She diligently checked Hoovers skin with scraping, did blood work for heart worms and prescribed a solid treatment of antibiotics, special shampoo, anti-​itch meds, and an absorbant medicine that treats for fleas/​mites/​scabies.
It has only been 72 hours and my Dog is already looking and acting so much better. What a fantastic Vet!
All in all, was about 45 mins with Vet, all the meds, scraping, and bloodwork came up to around $ 190. That is cheap for the high quality treatment my dog received.
Will be taking all my pets here and highly recommend seeing Dr Campbell.

This is a GREAT practice in North Austin. In the past 2 ½ years I’ve brought 3 cats here, and have been pleased with every visit. The entire staff is amazing — pleasant and empathetic. Dr. Sunbury is patient and kind, not to mention experienced.

I called at 7pm and got an appointment for the next morning. the hours of pet drop off and clinic hours are very convenient for me but i advise to call ahead just to make sure. the staff was very nice and reassuring plus they took good care of my kitty-​witty. i was very worried but the Dr. was so polite and talked things over with me that i was quickly at ease. from what i could see the facility was very clean and i was in and out with no problems. hopefully i don’t need to go to the vet again soon but if i need to i will stop by here.

Having my first pet, it was important to me that I make the right decision in choosing the best vet in town! After reading a couple of reviews and getting a recommendation from a friend, I chose Sunbury Vet Clinic. Right away, they were super helpful in getting my kitty in as quickly as possible. At the appointment, Dr. Campbell was very sweet, knowledgeable, and walked me through everything that was going on and what she was doing. A few days later, after having to pick up some medication for him, I got a call about a week later to check on his progress. I thought that was so thoughtful! Today I got a letter in the mail welcoming me to the ‘family’. That extra personal touch their staff has made to reach out definitely made me feel confident in my choice in choosing their clinic. I know my kitty is in great hands and care!!! Thank you!!!

One day last summer, some heartless bastard left an adorable white puppy in the parking lot in a closed cardboard box. (Karma will get you. You know who you are.) It was 102 degrees out. A nice person brought it into the nearby store to help it. The pup was too hot and distressed to even take a drink of water. We took it next door to Sunbury Clinic.
They treated her for hyperthermia, giving her IV fluids and cooling her down. Then she was adopted immediately by a friend of theirs. I am grateful that they stepped up and made a horrible situation have a happy ending. It was not really their responsibility but they proved how devoted to animal welfare they are. Kudos.

Since I rescue cats frequently from shelters and stray/​feral situations, I had been vet hopping for moooonths, trying to find a good one that’s reasonably priced.
A few months ago I had a very ill cat on my hands. Pumba, a feral I had recently brought inside, starting puking blood in the middle of the night and barely able to move. I wasn’t about to take him to any of the horrible past vets I’d experienced, so I called Sunbury’s office in desperation. They were booked that day, but after fully explaining what was happening they told me to come ASAP.
It was a long day. We were there about 3−4hrs waiting for test results and answers. Long story short, Dr. Sunbury saved Pumba. As sick as the cat had become, I absolutely was not expecting to go home with him. Today Pumba is still indoors only and a very happy/​healthy cat!
I’ve since used Sunbury for blood work on my dog and rescued cats. Just this week I took a feral, Tommy, to him for tests and a check-​up. Tommy is deaf, partially blind, has broken teeth, covered in scabs from being picked on (he’s the smallest feral cat I’ve ever seen. I thought he was about a year old, but he’s 5!) and can’t hold one of his eyes open. Again, Sunbury did a wonderful job with Tommy and now he’s in a forever home enjoying a roof over his head, the AC, canned food, treats and tons of love & attention!
I would recommend Dr. Sunbury to anyone for absolutely any reason!
** I am editing this review 8 days after posting, as I forgot to mention some key reasons I would strongly recommend this place.
My dog needed an individual vaccination (Lepto) and they offer it, but in a combo vac. They went out of their way to order it elsewhere & called me when it arrived.
Pumba and Tommy were examined in different months for different reasons and I received a «follow-​up» call each time within a couple days of the visit. Anytime I have had questions/​concerns on any of my animals, I either call and/​or leave a message, email or ask to have a question delivered to the Dr. with a response via phone. Dr. Subury is GREAT about responding in a timely fashion, be it phone or email. I really appreciate this.
I also very much appreciate having answers to my questions explained thoroughly until I understand fully whatever I need to know. Again, he is very good at this as well as patient.

Terrible experience here.
This was my local vet for a year. I was highly satisfied until they made a bonehead mistake and didn’t even apologize for it!
My dog got bit and was fixed at a different vet clinic (not in the local area). I was advised by the other vet clinic to take my pet to our local vet (Sunbury) for a checkup.
During my dog’s checkup the veterinarian (at Sunbury) thought it would be a good idea to take out his stitches four days after they were placed in him. My wife and I advised her that they were just placed in him and it would not be a good idea, she ignored us.
We went home without a hitch and about four hours later his wound split open, we rushed him to an overnight emergency veterinarian (Sunbury was closed and didn’t care they caused this).
To get him fixed up it costed me another ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The next day I went to Sunbury and told them what had happened, NOT EVEN ONE SORRY OR I SCREWED UP. THEY BELIEVED THEY DID THE RIGHT THING!!!
I understand that screw ups happen, but to blatantly not care made me furious!
I left and am now at a different clinic for my dogs.

This has been my
Pups vet since I got here. Always an amazing visit each time. From the front of the house to the Doctors, it’s all around an amazing place. Today they got Lulu in right away because they were concerned about her due to the issues she was having. The Veterinarian herself called me herself to let me know what her diagnose was. Love this place. Lulu and I will always, always continue coming here.

I’ve been using Sunbury for a few years now, and the only complaint that I would have is that they seem a little pricey. However, they are friendly, compassionate toward the animals, and seem to be good at what they do. I have not had to have them do anything major, but I would trust them to do whatever needed to be done. Dr Sunbury himself is especially nice, and definitely seems to know what he’s doing.
My dog absolutely loves them, so that should tell you something. Then again, my dog loves everybody.
