Dr. Declan Dodd - Veterinarian

I’ve been captivated by animals since childhood, when I first watched the herd of dairy cows grazing peacefully in the field behind my family’s home in Lancashire, England.

That early fascination only grew after moving to Perth, Western Australia, where I spent 14 years surrounded by unique reptiles, marsupials, and wildlife—ultimately graduating from veterinary school in December 2024.

Following graduation, I spent a year as a small animal general practitioner, honing my skills while preparing for my next adventure: relocating to the United States. Now, I’m excited to begin this new chapter in Austin, Texas, at Jarrell Animal Hospital. Our family dog Lola still lives in Australia with my parents so as of right now my home is pet free but probably not for long.

My special interests include small animal medicine, surgery, and radiology. I’m committed to using every available resource to provide your dog or cat with the highest standard of care, along with clear, compassionate advice tailored to you and your pet.
