Our goal is to provide you with the information and resources necessary to keep your companion happy and healthy for as long

as possible. Our services and facilities are designed to assist in routine preventive care for young, healthy pet companions; early detection and treatment of disease as your pet ages; and complete medical and surgical care as necessary during his or her lifetime. We understand the special role your pet companion plays your family and are dedicated to becoming your partner in your pet companionโ€™s healthcare. Make an appointment with us today and ensure the best quality care for your loved one.

Celebrate National Cook for Your Pets Day by embracing a wholesome lifestyle for your furry friends! ๐Ÿฅ˜

As one of Austinโ€™s last few privately owned, locally-focused practices, Star of Texas Veterinary Hospital is proud to offer personalized guidance on nutrition and whole-food options for pets. In 2017, Dr. McCoy began her own journey with whole-food-based nutrition, initially for weight loss, but soon discovered the broader health benefitsโ€”and a passion for nutrition! ๐Ÿฅฆ

Though not a board-certified nutritionist, Dr. McCoy has pursued additional education in natural pet nutrition ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿฉบ, learning how diet can impact overall health and even disease states. This approach moves away from processed kibble toward fresh, whole foods, designed to support your petโ€™s unique needs and your lifestyle! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ

Woof! ๐Ÿพ Did you know that communication with your dog goes beyond just verbal cues? To show your dog you're listening, it's important to also use their body language!

Try approaching with your body angled away first or dropping your shoulder when calling them. Avoid reaching out and let them come to you when they're ready. These calming signals will help your furry friend feel safe and understood!

It's not uncommon for cats to display some strange behavior, such as trying to bury their food bowl or its contents. Sometimes, this can happen after eating, or even when you've just placed the bowl of wet food down. However, this behavior doesn't necessarily mean that your cat dislikes the food or its location.

In some cases, cats may be trying to "bury" their food, treating it like prey that they can return to later when they're ready to eat. It's just another one of the curious ways that our feline friends show us their unique personalities.

๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ช Keeping your young pet mentally and physically engaged also strengthens the human-animal bond and helps prevent problem behaviors that may lead to relinquishing them to animal shelters.

Weโ€™ve missed Holley so much, and weโ€™re beyond thrilled theyโ€™ve rejoined our crew! Our clients are sure to be just as excited to see Holley's familiar face again. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿพ Holleyโ€™s Senior Squad: With two cats and two dogs (three of them seniors!), Holleyโ€™s experience caring for older pets has deepened their passion for quality of life in senior animals. Their empathy shines through in everything they do!

๐Ÿ˜‚ Funniest Clinic Moment: Witnessing a vet get squirted in the eye while expressing a**l glands! ๐Ÿ’ฅ (Yikes!)

๐Ÿง  Superpower Wish: Mind reading, to make the job just a bit easier!

๐Ÿ’— Best Part of the Job: Holley is all about nurturing that Human-Animal bondโ€”it's the heart of their career!

๐Ÿพ Her Pet Crew: Madi has two adorable fur babies! Skyla, her 5-year-old Husky, has plenty to say, and Cobain, her 2-year-old cat with cerebellar hypoplasia, may be a bit wobbly, but he's always the happiest boy! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿˆโ€

๐Ÿ˜‚ Funniest Clinic Moment: Assisting in a cattle castration only to have cow poo end up in her shoes! ๐Ÿ˜… Those shoes? Gone. (But it was hilarious for everyone else!)

๐Ÿง  Superpower Wish: Mind readingโ€”both for humans and animals! Madi would love to know exactly what everyone needs but canโ€™t say.

๐Ÿ’– Favorite Part of the Job: Helping fur babies, chatting with their amazing humans, and learning something new every day in the veterinary field. Madiโ€™s all about growing and never stops learning!

๐ŸŽถ Theme Song: "I Donโ€™t Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw, because Madi is all about staying true to herself, embracing her quirks, and loving every unique moment in her life!

Madi's dedication and humor brighten our clinic every day! ๐Ÿ’ซ

10/17/2024

๐ŸฆŸ Lyme disease is a vector-borne bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The blacklegged tick (i.e., deer tick) is the primary Lyme disease carrier, and can be found throughout many areas. The disease is transmitted when an infected blacklegged tick attaches and feeds on a warm-blooded mammal, including dogs, horses, and humans.

The bacteria enter the general circulation and trigger chronic health issues, including joint swelling and inflammation, heart damage, kidney failure, and neurologic problems. Protect your pet and yourself from this debilitating condition by contacting us at 737-727-0022. Stay informed, stay safe, and keep your furry friend healthy! ๐Ÿพ
