Bastrop Veterinary Hospital has been serving the people and pets of Bastrop, TX since 1974. This community is our home. We believe that medicine works best when it is deeply personal. Our doctors and staff take the time to know you and your pets: to understand what your worries are, what your needs are, and how we can make a positive difference in your life.

This individualized approach means you will feel cared for, valued, and supported. It also means a higher level of patient care. We value getting to know your pet like the individual they are. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, goats, and nearly everything in between… here, we care for you both like our own. This helps us spot any subtle divergences in their baseline to be able to provide your pet the gold standard of medicine.

Hearts of gold deserve no less. We love to practice in a small town. We believe that the people and pets in this community deserve the same level of care you would find at cutting edge practices in big cities. Here, you will find a higher standard of technology, protocols, and procedures than many expect from a small town practice.

We combine advances in medical care with a local community focus. Our team believes in always putting you and your pet first because here, you are family and family only gets the best. Bastrop Veterinary Hospital is a proud partner of Innovetive Petcare, where we believe excellent pet care comes from exceptional teams.
