Emergencies
Emergencies
By nature, emergencies are unexpected, which is why we’re always prepared to be there for you at a moment’s notice. For small animals, emergency care is provided on-site, in the comfort of the veterinary home that your pet is already familiar with. For larger animals, we offer both on or off-site services, depending on your needs.
With an experienced team of four doctors, technicians and support staff, we’re ready to handle whatever comes our way, whether it’s during our regular office hours, or afterwards, 7 days a week.
Call our emergency hotline for consultation, at (830) 570-4781.
Dentistry
Dentistry
Pets, unlike humans, need to be anesthetized in order to have their teeth thoroughly cleaned. We have modern state-of-the-art equipment that is minimally invasive. We also go above and beyond what many other hospitals do and dedicate a technician who is dedicated solely to your pet’s vitals throughout the whole procedure, so your treasured family member is constantly being monitored for safety and comfort. Every dental exam we provide also includes radiograph imagery, as most pet dental infections occur where they’re not immediately visible–below the gumline.
With 80% of cats and dogs having periodontal disease at some point in their lives, we see firsthand how important it is to give your beloved pet preventative dental cleanings to keep them healthy and pain free.
Periodontal disease is linked to heart and kidney function problems later in life, so routine dental cleanings are our best way to ensure you can enjoy your pet as long as possible!

Digital Radiography Imaging
Digital radiography is an advanced form of x-ray which is a painless and noninvasive way for
our veterinarians to get a real-time snapshot of what’s going on “behind the scenes.”
By utilizing the most modern digital imaging tools available, we can detect issues quickly so treatment and relief don’t need to be delayed.
On-Site Lab
Having an in-house veterinary lab enables us to perform various blood tests and pre-anesthetic blood work quickly; we also have a partner lab for more extensive testing that offers a fast turnaround time. In addition, we also perform on-site ultrasounds for our patients. We never want to delay surgery for acute conditions, and we can prevent pet parents from worrying about and waiting on potential results longer than necessary.
Surgery
Surgery
We understand that even routine pet surgeries can be stressful for the loved ones of our patients. After all, it’s natural to worry about our furry family members who rely on us so much!
At our animal hospital, we place the highest priority on safety and comfort throughout every surgical procedure. Our highly skilled team is committed and equipped to perform mass removals, wound management, reconstructive surgery, and much more in our modern, fully equipped surgical suite.
Each of our doctors have advanced surgical training in anesthesia, and a veterinary technician strictly monitors your pet before, during, and after anesthesia–vital parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate and body temperature are systematically recorded so we can detect even the slightest change in status.
After surgery, we continue to monitor surgery patients and provide extra comfort measures like warm blankets, medication for potential discomfort or post-surgical nausea, and a quiet place to recover. We take a small-town approach to patient follow up, and our doctors call to check in on your pet after they go home.
Spays and Neuters
Spays and Neuters
Along with vaccinations and important wellness checks, our doctors recommend spaying or neutering pets to protect their health.
Cats and dogs who have been spayed and neutered early in life are more likely to avoid certain cancers later on and, overall, live longer. It’s just one more way that preventative medicine can prolong your time with your pet and save you the heartache and cost that goes with chronic or acute illness.
Contact us to set up an appointment so one of our doctors can explore this important wellness procedure with you.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations
As a locally-owned vet clinic who prioritizes what’s best for each pet we treat, preventative medicine is one of the strongest lines of protection for our patients’ long-term health, and vaccinations are an important part of that.
During wellness checks, we discuss your pet’s vaccination needs based on age and lifestyle. This is one of many reasons why we want to routinely assess your healthy pet–not just when they’re feeling under the weather. Our goal is to prevent what is preventable wherever possible!
For pet owners who are committed to the most thorough, preventative veterinary care, we have Wellness Programs in place. We can help you figure out which plan is best for your fur kid.
Wellness Plans
Wellness Plans
As pet parents ourselves, we understand how busy life can get! Wellness programs are our way of helping you stay on track with a designated health plan that fits your cat’s or dog’s age and needs, according to their lifestage.

Exotics
Exotics
No fur? No problem! We have doctors and technicians who specialize in veterinary care for the ones with scales or feathers too!
We help pet owners manage their exotic pet’s unique needs with regular veterinary exams and, yes, vaccines too! Our furry pets aren’t the only ones susceptible to commonly transmitted, pet-borne diseases such as:
- Salmonellosis — A bacteria spread through animal feces.
- Ringworm — A fungal infection of the skin, hair, or nails easily passed to children through handling pocket pets such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs.
- Scabies — A skin disease caused by mites that burrow under the skin.
- Strep throat — Though it is not common, it is thought to be passed to humans by kissing, licking, or food-related oral contact between humans and animals.
We urge every new exotic pet to have an initial wellness exam as soon as it’s introduced to your home, children, or furry pet herd! By establishing a relationship with us and a collaborative health plan, your buddy will have the best defense against disease throughout its lifespan.
