Research Boulevard Pet and Bird Hospital 11679 Research Boulevard, Austin, TX 78759

"I have had the wonderful staff and vets working with my puppy since I got her! They have helped me through the early months and are kind, nurturing, and helpful! Dr Wellford is great and the nurses and ladies at the desk are super compassionate and efficient! Great clinic!"

"Updated review 10/17/2023: I continue to take my birds for annual checkups and boarding. This time Dr. Tran is no longer there but they were seen by Dr. Wellford who is a great vet all-around. He was knowledgeable and answered / addressed all our questions and concerns. He made sure to explain any procedures or tests when needed (we needed to get some tests done for one of the birds for infectious disease before boarding) and why the may or may not be necessary. He and the vet tech were also very gentle and patient in handling each bird. Front desk staff are also very friendly and courteous. Very pleased with the experience all around. Original review: Everyone there is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. My experience is based on multiple visits with two birds in the span of two years for annual checkups, nail trimming, and follow-ups for concerns. They care about the safety and well-being of the animals. I've had my birds seen by Dr. Skellenger and Dr. Tran. They never pushed any unnecessary tests or medications. I've also had the birds boarded there while I was away for 1-2 weeks and they were in good hands. Positive experience overall."

"Every time I call, the staff is ready and willing to help us. I have two dogs, and I usually call at the last minute for check ups, grooming, etc. They do their best to get us in ASAP. I really appreciate that."

"The techs and doctors at Research Pet and Bird are the best. They are always kind and helpful! I’ve taken my cats and new puppy here. They were so sweet to my shy puppy, he left feeling way more confident than when we walked in! So happy I found a good vet and on top of that, the clinic is so close to my home!"

"We lost our sweet ferret Tiger today and are completely devastated. We rushed her to Pet and Bird because she was unresponsive. Ultimately we think she passed from an infection that turned into sepsis. I just want to thank Dr.Welford and his tech Sarah for being so kind to us when we came in. Sarah even put a sweet sunflower with Tigers body and gave us a paw print to take with us. I don’t usually write reviews but I wanted them to know how much this kind gesture meant to our family."
