Have you recently welcomed a new pet into your home, or are you preparing for a new pet? There’s a lot to think about when it comes to making sure they’re set up with everything they need, from bedding and toys to ID tags and a pet-proofed home. One essential task to consider is getting them established with a vet as soon as possible. Booking a wellness visit with a vet will ensure they’re healthy, started on all the required vaccine schedules, protected against heartworm, fleas, and ticks, and gives you a chance to learn more about your new companion. 🐶 💚 🐱

We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We are so thankful to serve all of our clients and their fur babies.
Remember that we will be closed today so that our team may celebrate with their families. But we will resume our normal business hours tomorrow, November 24th at 7am. If you encounter a medical emergency with your pet, please call Heart of Texas Veterinary Specialty Center, 512-744-4644.

Here are some tips on keeping your furry family members safe and healthy this holiday.

Thanksgiving is a time for friends, family and holiday feasts—but also a time for possible distress for our animal companions. Pets won’t be so thankful if they munch on undercooked turkey or a pet-unfriendly floral arrangement, or if they stumble upon an unattended alcoholic drink.

New and experienced pet owners alike often ask their vet, "Why does my healthy pet need an annual wellness exam?" While many of us have a good understanding of illness symptoms that signal a vet visit, routine checkups outside of sick visits are just as essential for helping your pet live a long and happy life with you.
