This zoo is truly wonderful. Unlike most zoos, the Austin zoo only keeps animals that were previously in captivity and/or mistreated and have no way now to adapt to the wild anymore. It's basically a rescue mission for these animals. There's a great petting zoo, where you can feed the animals as well. There's a train that goes around the zoo, and each animal has a name and a history posted near it's location. The signs tell you where the animal came from (i.e.--where it was rescued from), admission is very inexpensive, and it's out in the country. Definitely worth the trip!

My one-year old dog and I attended a canine good citizen class and we both had a great time as well as learning a lot about good behavior in social settings with other dogs and people. The instructors were able to give individual attention and strategies for the needs of each dog in the class. I was able to use the strategies in many other settings. My dog enjoyed the class, learned good behaviors, and is working on her manners in public and social settings. She is a very friendly dog and people want to always pet her so I had to learn ways to reinforce good dog behaviors and manners in public settings. I would highly recommend Buddy's Chance for whatever training needs your dog may have!
Pros: Very knowledgeable instructors and great training techniques
Cons: None

the rest
Vet and technicians are people just like you putting up with pain in the butt animals. Just because your animal is screaming and jumping around on the table scratching and bruising the technician doesnt mean we dont care for your animal...we have a job to do and we will do whatever we can to get it done. There is a lot of work put into taking care of your animal and the vets and techs would like a little respect. I know, i am a tech.
thanks

I keep reading negative reviews for this zoo that typically involve a bad train ride and bad stroller terrain. I have no kids and thus strollers are no issue of mine, but for the people complaining about the train, be aware that the train ride is not actually affiliated with the zoo; it's separately owned, and the profits do not go to the animals. I love this place. They do great work for animal rehabilitation and still keep the place looking nice and, yes, while the San Antonio Zoo is larger and more elaborate, bear in mind that the Austin Zoo is essentially running a charity for abused animals. I found the staff friendly, the country setting pleasing, and the entire trip a fantastic one. A flock of free-roaming peacocks helping themselves into the bear's den was especially amusing.
Pros: Noble Cause, Great Setting
Cons: None

Bark ‘n Purr has been around since the 50’s and it’s a great place to get your pet supplies. They carry a large variety of supplies for Cats, dogs, ferrets, gerbils and hamsters. The toy selection is great as well as the variety of organic, holistic and specialty foods. It’s smaller than the larger chains and you can take your pets with you as well. I’ve never used the grooming services but have been told they’re great. This is a hometown type of pet shop with the friendliest and most helpful people.

Dr Z is a great vet. She truly cares about the health of your pet. She is thorough, and considers all possible options. She saved our dog's life; thank goodness for her extended hours! Not only did she save our dog, but she also saved us a lot of money from having to go to an emergency clinic on a Sunday evenning, which can be very expensive. White Angel Animal Hospital is the cleanest vet I have ever been to, and I highly recommend it.
Pros: extended hours, nice staff, great care, clean facility
Cons: none

I love Bark and purr for toys for my dog and cat and especially for the special food I have to feed my dog since we started him on Prednazone. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly and has always been there for me when I needed something, even if they had to special order it. I can always count on them for great service and happy smiling faces.

My name is Ginsburg, and I'm a puppy. I love going to see Dr. Mouser at NAAH. The techs are always gentle with me, and everybody gives me treats! Dr. Mouser makes me feel better when I'm sick, and does his best to make sure I don't get sick in the first place. I didn't even mind it when I had to stay overnight for pneumonia treatment. I've heard my master say they aren't too expensive, but I'm a dog and don't know what that means. If you go to NAAH, tell everyone there that Ginsburg says 'Hi!'.
Pros: Dr. Mouser and his support staff
