Lake Travis Area Veterinary Clinics

Written by Mandy Spivey | October 6, 2015

Moses after surgery

I love our dog, Moses. A beautiful and majestic canine, he has the energy of a puppy yet he’s over 7 years old; a wild weimaraner that just won’t stop.

That was, until last summer, when we noticed a small lump on his leg that wouldn’t go away. He was also more lethargic and didn’t want to go on long walks anymore. We brought him to his local Lake Travis veterinarian for a check-up and lo and behold, that lump wasn’t just a bug bite, but a growing tumor that had to be removed.

Luckily for Moses and us, we caught it early and have some of the best veterinarians right here in the Lake Travis area. So when we had to schedule him for surgery we knew we could stay close to home when it came to finding him a doggie doctor.

Whether you have a dog, cat, bird or other small pet, it’s good to know just what veterinary clinics are within close driving distance, keeping in mind that emergencies like snake bites and poisonings can happen a lot to animals near the lake and Hill Country. Time is of the essence in many of these emergencies.

This is Where You Live

How lucky are you?

You live in an amazing place. There are a lot of places that are just as beautiful. But what makes them so beautiful? Hill Country and lakes? Canyons and parks? The ocean? Mountains? Sure, those all make a place beautiful.

Places that are beautiful are places that are worth checking out — and people like to figure out how to move to these beautiful places.

I’ve been there. I moved to a small mountain town in Colorado in the early 90’s. About five years after I moved there the place started to get discovered. At least in my eyes. Talk to a local that has been living there for twenty years and they would say it started to get discovered about five years after they moved there.

Developers move in and take over places that were once quiet. But the reason they move in is because the demand is there. One condo project goes up and sells out before the slab is poured. Other developers join in. Next thing you know you have more condos. Apartments. Homes. Walmart. People. Traffic. Your world changes.

Lake Travis Neighborhood Guide: Lakeway

Written by Cathy Hale | September 29, 2015

When it comes to the hottest neighborhoods in Austin, Lakeway has consistently snagged the title of MVP on the roster of best places to live in the Texas Hill Country.

The lush rolling hills, picturesque views, native wildlife and, of course, access to Lake Travis are just a few of its selling points. Even if you live in the Austin area, you might not fully understand why folks love to live here.

Is it because there’s a water tower that looks like a golf ball?

Is it because there’s a community pool shaped like a tennis racket with a kiddie pool shaped like a tennis ball?

Is it because Lakeway is playfully described as, “Dazed and Confused meets Ivy League.”

What was once known as a quiet vacation and retirement community has been transformed into a hub of growth and development — which makes living here convenient to everything.

Austin Yacht Club: Sailing on Lake Travis Since 1952

Written by Cathy Hale | June 11, 2015

If the words “yacht club” conjure up images of Thurston Howell III from Gilligan’s Island in a yachting cap and ascot, well, you’re not alone.

Yachting very well may be misconstrued as a stuffy pastime, but not at Austin Yacht Club. This laid-back Lake Travis gem has been serving up serious sailing since 1952.

Austin Yacht Club is just a few miles off of RR 620 and Hudson Bend Road. If you follow the bright green scenery past Infamous Brewing Company and the neighborhoods of Travis Landing and Lakeland Hills, you’ll discover AYC on your right at the end of Beacon Road sitting on 30 acres with wet and dry slip storage.
