We have always gone to Sunset Canyon Veterinary and our paw babies have been cared for by Dr Portie and his awesome staff.

Been taking my paraplegic corgi boi, Archie, here for the last two years. Dr. Portie, all the vets & the vet techs, & this clinic are a model for veterinary practice & care in 2023 (!!!!). That's a fact, jack. They go above and beyond your standard vet care, and are very reasonably priced. Dr. Portie performed my Archie's neuter surgery, & made himself available right away to see Archie in-person when Archie had a bad reaction to the surgery (which is resolved / Archie is fine!). Dr. Portie cares a ton, has a hyper-level attention to details, plus the tenure, top education & knowledge that make him a well-respected, bonafide expert in his field, and the best vet (care) an average peasant like me can get! I drive us all the way out to Dripping Springs from Austin, when i have a vet literally less than a 5 min drive from where i live...This team & clinic are worth every drop of gas and second of time spent coming to/fro here! I know they also see horses & snakes, in addition to dogs & cats. I trust them with the special needs care of my precious Archie, & there's very few doctors & teams I can honestly say that about. Super grateful for this special crew & care!

Our recent visit to Sunset Canyon was for teeth cleaning our 4 year old Maltipoo. Sunset Canyon should be the model for all other Vet. Clinics. Dr. Alice Dietz performed a excellent job on cleaning his teeth. He also need an extraction of one tooth. Everything was done so completely and perfectly. We didn't have to do anything before or after the procedure. The only thing we did was to observe our pet. We love every single one of their vets! Go Sunset Canyon, you're doing great!

I used to rave about this vet to anyone we knew but a few months ago we took our 10 month old dog in to get a vaccine & I asked if they could trim his nails. They were unable to cut his nails because of his "behavior". He doesn't like his feet being touched and I told the vet tech that. When they brought him back to me (first mistake, they didn't put me in a private room, i was told to wait outside and they took him inside) when they brought him back he immediately dodged his head from me petting it which isn't like him. All they as in the vet techs told me was he was hard to handle. Fast forward to 10pm that night the white of his eyes turned red/purple. Immediately go back to the vet and one veterinarian said "I wasn't there but I heard he alligator rolled and hit his head" So why was this information not shared with the owners right then and there? We were told it would heal in a couple of days but it took 2+ weeks to return fully back to white. I'm utterly flabbergasted that that information was withheld. We will unfortunately not be returning. Please treat every one of your patients with no time limit and stop rushing patients in and out like a drive through.

We have been so happy with Sunset Canyon and Dr. Portie for our almost 10 year old golden retriever, Stella, ever since we moved out this way and had to find a new vet. Dr. Portie is so great with her, gets down on her level, and makes the whole experience comfortable for her. He doesn't push for unnecessary tests. You can tell he just loves dogs - particularly goldens. He said he's had 9 of his own! And at our most recent visit, my husband brought our 3 year old daughter along, and Dr. Portie was so kind to her, let her listen to Stella's heart with his stethoscope and even let her help administer Stella's shot. Super kind of him - that was such a cool experience for her. We're definitely fans of Dr. Portie and thankful to have found such a great vet!

We were faced with an emergency that had to be addressed immediately and they were the first ones to accept us after calling 7 different vets around South Austin. We showed up at 4:30 pm they quickly took our 13 year old dog in and had to sedate her to give her 7-8 stitches they told us to return by 6 and lily our dog was ready for us to pick up. She was a bit groggy but that was expected. Without them taking us so late in the day we don't know what the outcome would have been for our old lady Lily. Seriously one of the best vet experiences I have had in my life.

I took my dog here on recommendation of a friend after having gone to multiple vets for years with no solutions for my chihuahua's gastro issues. Thousands of dollars spent to no avail. SCVC was able to get me in the same day (amazing!). My friend recommended Dr. Portie to me. He was very thorough in explaining what could possibly be going on with my Chi as well as offering a treatment option that hadn't been suggested yet. Dr. P followed up with me later that week to see how Lily was doing. A few months later I had to get her in again for more treatments and was able to get in right away. The entire staff here is lovely and wonderful to work with! The establishment is clean and has a welcoming feel. I just love everything about this place and I love Dr. Portie! I've heard the rest of the vets here are also wonderful. This is the vet I have been looking for all of my life!! I live on the east side of Austin close to downtown and the drive to this vet is completely worth it. I can't recommend them enough. 10 stars! (I will add that they are very reasonably priced!You can tell that they are not out to get as much money from you as they can but to truly work within the budget you have to provide the best care within your means. After having spent so much money in the past only to have no solutions, I am very grateful for this!).

Dr Gary Pruitt was so good with my little Sydney. The proper tests were run and adequate diagnosis of my dog pathology was established. My dog will be on his way to recovery. Sydney was examined with seriousness and care using classic methodology as well as needed bloodwork. My experience at your office was about real care not car sales. Extremely happy with my new vet!

The veterinarian was gentle with our Yorkie & didn’t hurry the exam. We have always had great experiences no matter which veterinarian was seeing our dog.

They helped save one of my dogs and the other senior dog is like a new puppy now and the rates are reasonable. One of my dogs ended up having pancreatic and liver issues. He needed to be at a vet hospital in ICU. But I knew that would be really expensive and on the older side. So I asked if they could just give fluids and meds each day. I would drop him off in the morning and pick him up at night. Did this for a week. He made a complete turn around. My senior dog I thought was going blind and was not eating much. I was told from many people not to get their teeth pulled when they are old. However, I felt like I needed to do something for him. Sunset Canyon recommended pulling out his teeth because they were infected. I was given quotes by other places and they were a lot higher than Sunset Canyon. I told them what I could afford and they kept in around that price. My senior dog now is running around like a puppy and his vision has been restored. The teeth infection was going into his eyes. I will always be so grateful for them.
