Yesterday we welcomed patient #10,000- Marley! He had a mass removed and powered through like a champ. His little (human) sisters came to drop him off and pick him up, and gave us a card with their beautiful artwork. The team was so touched and grateful to be trusted with this sweet boy’s care! We can tell he will be in good hands for recovery 🫶

Today marks a significant milestone as we celebrate our 10th anniversary! Serving this community over the past decade has been both an honor and a privilege.

VSS was established to address the lack of affordable surgical options for pet owners in Central Texas, but our impact has extended far beyond. We’ve had the privilege to serve not only the entire state of Texas but many other states as well. The demand for what we do continues to grow, demonstrating the importance of our services.

Over the years we have been pivotal in providing life-saving surgeries and essential medical care, often making the critical difference between euthanasia and treatment for many pets.

For some fun insights, here are the estimates of our top 5 orthopedic procedures performed at VSS over the last 10 years:

• TPLO: 1,917
• Fracture Repairs: 972
• FHO: 503
• TTA: 376
• Lateral Suture: 357

That’s approximately 2,650 CCL surgeries alone, not to mention the countless other orthopedic and soft tissue procedures Dr. Lewis has skillfully performed, significantly improving the quality of life for numerous pets.

None of this would have been possible without the support of our community. Your word of mouth has been invaluable in spreading awareness about our work. Thank you for your support and contribution to our growth and success.

We are incredibly grateful to our founders, Dr. Kirk Lewis and Terry Hackworth whose vision and dedication have brought us this far. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of our furry friends. Here’s to many more years of exceptional care! 🐾❤️

Today is bitter sweet as we prepare to say goodbye to our friend and colleague, John. He is a favorite among many here at VSS and we are so sad to see him go. He has dedicated years of his life to caring for our patients and clients alike. He has been instrumental in helping us develop our canine rehabilitation program and assisting our team become who they are today. We will miss the endless laughter, compassion and knowledge that he shared with all of us over the years. The sweet part is that we get to congratulate him on his retirement! We hope he enjoys his newfound freedom and all the adventures coming his way! We will all miss him dearly!

This brave little guy was found abandoned in South Texas covered in ticks and missing a portion of his right rear limb. The cause of this will always remain a mystery but what we do know is that he is a fighter!

A team of volunteers quickly flew to the shelter where he was being held to save him from impending euthanasia. They flew him back to Austin, got him stabilized and then brought him to us for an amputation. The moment we saw him, we knew he was a special boy. Even after everything this dog has been through he has so much love to give and his spirits remain high.

We just saw Aster for his recheck and he’s doing amazing! He’ll be ready to find his forever home very soon! Just know that him and his lamb chop stuffy are a package deal!

CityDog Austin Kaxan was both a patient of ours and a tremendous supporter. He posed with the "bling" to help promote a fundraiser we hosted in early 2020.

He touched so many lives and always brought a smile to everyone he met.

He recently lost his battle with cancer and has taken the journey over The Rainbow Bridge.

Our hearts go out to his family .

Meet Tank Girl. This pretty girl came to us 6 weeks ago for CCL surgery and we are doing her second knee today. She has not had the best experiences when visiting the vet but in the last few weeks we have seen her slowly but surely become more comfortable and even excited to visit us. She loves working out with John during her physical therapy sessions and visiting all of her friends here at VSS. Enjoy this photo of her wrapped up like a burrito. 🌯🐾💗

It is with a very heavy heart that we say goodbye to our beloved patient of 4 years, Abby.

We will miss seeing her every week for PT. Her loving family always did an excellent job in keeping this golden girl happy and healthy.

Our favorite things about Miss Abby were her sassy personality and her beautiful, resilient spirit.

We are holding her and her family in our hearts.

Rest in love sweet girl 🤍
