HI there fellow Austinites!
I've lived in Austin for about 25 years, we live in north Austin. For grooming, I use Shelly at Diamonds in the Ruff on Parmer between Metric and MoPac. She's groomed my dogs for about 10 years now.
I drive all the way out to Taylor to use a vet that I love.
We've never used doggy day care so I can't comment.
We don't go out to parks very often - I'm so worried about a big dog running up to Rex and Rowdy, so we generally avoid the parks.
Thinking about it, we don't take them with us very many places in Austin, but when we travel in the summer in our travel trailer, they go everyplace with us!
Glad to meet some fellow Austinites!!!
