Hill Country Apothecary in Lakeway: Not Your Traditional Pharmacists

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 27, 2014

Not everyone looks forward to a trip to the pharmacy. Most of the time when I find myself in the line to pick up all manner of antibiotics, I am at the wrong end of the sick stick and can’t wait to make it back home to the warmth of my couch. But not all trips need to be so dire; a trip to the pharmacy can be a relaxing experience, one that leaves you feeling more rejuvenated than when you walked in.

Sometimes you just need to get your dog out of the house, out of the yard, and give him the space to run and get social with other pooches. If you live in an apartment or condominium without a yard, you’ll likely find that Lake Travis area dog parks will become regular destinations for both you and your furry friend.

Our dog Moses has been to many dog parks in Austin and around the Lake Travis area, so I think he is a pretty good judge of which ones are winners. We are lucky to live close by a couple of his favorites — the dog parks in Lakeway and Bee Cave.
