AUSTIN, TX — Parker Animal Care, a trusted Austin veterinarian, has been caring for the city’s pets since 1995. Located in the South Lamar neighborhood, just off US-290 between Bluebonnet and Oltorf, the hospital provides individualized veterinary care for dogs and cats across Austin, Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, Sunset Valley, and West Oak Hill.

The hospital’s services follow pets through every life stage. The care approach centers on long-term wellness, supporting a healthy, active life for every pet. Puppy and kitten care, preventative care such as vaccines, microchips, and nutrition advice, and senior pet care help families plan for long-term wellness. In-house diagnostics help veterinarians pinpoint issues quickly, while surgical services, dental services, pain management, health and travel certificates, and urgent care round out the full-service offering.

Access is a priority. Same-day and next-day appointments are available, including convenient drop-offs, and the hospital is open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Team members speak Spanish and Portuguese, helping more Austin families communicate comfortably about their pets’ care. New clients receive a free exam at their first appointment for a limited time, and wellness plans pair flexible monthly payments with unlimited exams.

The hospital is led by owner, president, and head veterinarian Dr. Leanne Parker, a 1994 graduate of the Texas A&M University School of Veterinary Medicine who earned magna cum laude honors. She is joined by Associate Veterinarian Dr. Lisa Pocernich, whose interests include feline medicine and surgery, and Medical Director Dr. Carolina do Carmo.

“Every pet deserves care tailored to their unique needs, lifestyle, and stage of life,” said Dr. Leanne Parker, DVM, owner and head veterinarian at Parker Animal Care. “Clear communication with pet owners is just as important as the medical care, and that trust is what has guided our team for more than three decades.”

Serving South Austin for more than 30 years, Parker Animal Care continues to welcome new patients and their families to its South Lamar hospital. Pet owners can book online or call to schedule a visit with the veterinary team.
