Who We Are

Firehouse is committed to providing the very best veterinary care experience.

Our Story

We’re pet lovers. And we know you are, too. That’s why our goal is to reshape your experience at the vet.

You should enjoy the visit. And your pet should feel calm and happy with us.

We’ve always said there isn’t one thing we do that’s dramatically different. It’s the 100 little things we do every day to make the whole experience better.

We also gift medical care to pets in need. Our team has helped thousands of dogs and cats become healthy enough for adoption. We celebrate animals who find their forever family.

We’re proud of our team and the culture we’ve built: one that delivers the best experience for you, your pet, and our community.

Our Name

Firehouse Animal Health Centers took its name from the 100-year-old neighborhood fire station in which the very first Firehouse opened. Since 2012, Austin-based Firehouse has cultivated an experience that feels like a neighborhood firehouse — safe, reliable, friendly, and passionate about the needs of its community.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide comprehensive care, unparalleled service, and a collaborative experience to the people and pets of Central Texas.
