Overview

Spicewood Springs Animal Hospital has been locally owned since October 26th, 1970, when Dr. James Hughes opened the doors for the first time. He purchased an on old tile shop on what used to be the outskirts of Austin and as he says, "I waited for the city to come to me." And it did. Dr. Hughes and his sons built the addition that is now our kennel building and his children grew up around the hospital, just as Dr. Benaryeh's children have. Dr. Hughes sold the hospital to Dr. Benaryeh in January of 2005 and the two have remained friends since – a reflection of the trust, continuity, and community values that still define our practice
