Tierarzt am Spittelberg Tzt. Peter Rippel

Traveled to Vienna with my dog for a week long vacation. The first morning we are there, my dog will not put any weight on her foot. Decided to call this vet office since there were more available open office times and it was close to my hotel. It turned out to be a blessing! They allowed me to come to the office immediately and saw us quickly. Dr. Rippel assessed that my dog had an infection in her foot and needed minor surgery to open the wound and flush out the area. They were able to provide everything in-house from blood work evaluation to giving me the meds I needed to take with me. I spent the entire afternoon at the office as my dog awoke from Anesthesia and the entire team was so caring and helpful. They wrapped my dog's foot and scheduled a follow-up appointment for Monday. Dr. Bettina Rippel-Rachlé was very helpful in giving me information on how to care for my dog over the weekend and numbers to call if I needed emergency care. They saw us for check ups and antibiotic shots everyday for the rest of our time there, the following week. I had arranged for doggy-day care so that I could explore Vienna that week, but was not able to take advantage of it, since it might be too much activity for my dog's injury. Instead the vet-team cared for her during the afternoon for a few hours, while I was able to enjoy my vacation. I'm not even sure if they typically board dogs, but they did in my case and I could tell when I picked her up that the staff had given her lots of love and attention. By the time we left Vienna, my dog was healed, walking up to her normal 5km and beyond and happy. My father has been a vet for 50 years in his own private practice and I've never know another practice that could compare to his quality, skill or compassion until having this experience in Vienna. I can't thank the Drs or the entire team enough for turning a very traumatic experience into feeling so blessed and grateful.

Teirarzt am Spittleberg is the best Vet in Vienna! The entire staff is professional and caring. In the 4 years I have been going, Dr Rippel has successfully treated my senior dog for allergies, ear infections, international pet travel vaccinations and emergency situations - they saved my dog’s life twice! I’m so grateful for the entire staff’s care. I continually recommend Dr. Rippel to all the pet owners I know!

Amazing vet that speaks great English and is very familiar with health certificates for flying. *They don’t take card so cash, PayPal or money transfer so bring alternative payment. They’re so kind and caring that it’s worth the extra step for payment :)

We are very happy with the attention and care they give to our little puppy. Excellent team and very good location. Had one lump operation and teeth removal. Everything went good and without any stress. Highly recommend!

Every time we walk past, our dog is begging to go inside and say hello. Says all you need to know about this place. Just the loveliest people, terrific service – if you're looking for a vet in Vienna, this is the place to go.
