Austin Home Vet Care, a veterinary house call practice, opened Jan. 1 and serves the Austin, Cedar Park and Round Rock area. Dr. Radhika Sthanu serves pets in their own homes and offers routine care, including exams, vaccines, heartworm and intestinal parasite testing, and annual lab work, and she partners with an outside vet clinic to treat sick animals. Sthanu said her services are especially suited to cats and dogs who are afraid of vet clinics, have mobility issues or have chronic health conditions requiring frequent vet care. 512-387-6317. www.austinhomevetcare.com
