This proactive approach helps prevent illnesses and extends pets' lifespans through consistent monitoring and tailored vaccination schedules.
Soft Tissue Surgery
We perform spays, neuters, tumor removals, and complex procedures like abdominal exploratories with individualized surgical planning. Each patient receives anesthesia monitoring for heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. Our team addresses owner concerns pre-surgery and provides post-operative care guidance to ensure smooth recoveries.

This capability enables immediate treatment decisions for sick pets, reducing wait times for diagnoses. We complement this with external lab partnerships for specialized testing when advanced analysis is required.

Board-certified radiologists review complex cases remotely, ensuring precise interpretations. This technology supports quick treatment planning for emergencies and chronic conditions alike.

Thank you Dr. Howell, Amber and all the rest of the staff who are so kind and wonderful. You treated Parker well and we appreciate you more than words can say. Parker is resting now and I know he'll be feeling much better after his dental care and extractions.

Im not really sure how I havent reviewed Crossing Animal Clinic yet.. Im here so often with my fur babies Im on a first name basis with most of the staff! I will never take my dogs to anyone other than Dr. Howell. She is one of the most amazing people ever and truly cares about your pets. I respect and trust this clinic so much so, that even when I moved over an hour away, I still made the drive to North Austin anytime a vet visit was required. You could search all of Austin, and you wouldnt find a group of more caring and compassionate individuals.
