He’s happy, cozy, and absolutely living his best life.

rom Tiny Paws to Big Adventures 🐾

Ever wonder what little Eli (yep, this adorable furball from our clinic family!) might’ve been thinking as a kitten? Probably something like:
👀 “So many toys… so little time!”

Here at Hearthstone Animal Clinic, we love watching Cypress, Houston, and Katy pets grow from curious babies into happy, healthy adults. 🐶🐱

✨ For our puppy parents — start your little one off on the right paw with their first vaccinations.
✨ For our cat lovers — dental cleanings keep those tiny teeth (and big purrs) fresh.
✨ And don’t forget spay/neuter, one of the best ways to keep your pet healthy for years to come.

Every wag, purr, and happy bounce means the world to us — because every pet here is family. ❤️

📍 Stop by Hearthstone Animal Clinic or message us anytime — we’re here to keep your pet’s story a long, healthy, and joyful one!

This sweet girl is waking up after her dental cleaning — cozy, comfortable, and surrounded by love. She’s going to feel so much better once those teeth are clean and her mouth is healthy again. 🦷🐾

At Hearthstone Animal Clinic, we take pride in making every visit gentle and stress-free, whether it’s a routine check-up, surgery, or dental care. Healthy teeth mean a happier, healthier pet — and plenty more tail wags and kisses. ❤️

If it’s been a while since your pet’s last dental, give us a call. Let’s keep those smiles shining bright!

This is Shadow… and this is the $4,000 bone that almost killed her 😳🐾

Shadow is a sweet 1 year and 7 month old pup who came in Thursday after her owners noticed she was just a little off. By Friday morning, she had whined a bit and vomited once but was otherwise acting fine.

When I examined her, everything seemed normal. No fever, no pain, tail wagging, bright and alert. But since she’s young and had vomited, I suggested we take X-rays just to be safe, especially since her owners weren’t completely sure she hadn’t gotten into something.

And wow… it’s a good thing we did.

Her X-rays showed a large solid object completely stuck in her lower esophagus. It didn’t move at all, even after a few hours. After consulting with the radiologist, we referred her to Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) for an endoscopy so they could see what it was and hopefully remove it.

Sure enough, they found the culprit — a big piece of pork bone she must’ve grabbed from the trash. It was wedged tightly and had already started irritating the lining of her esophagus. If they had waited even a few more days, it could have been fatal as it began to eat through the esophagus and leak into the chest.

Thankfully, VEG was able to scope it out safely and Shadow went home the same day. She’s doing great and feeling so much better.

This is a perfect example of why we sometimes recommend doing diagnostics like X-rays. It’s not because we’re trying to “run up a bill” like you sometimes see people saying online. It’s because you just never know when your pet might be that one in a hundred with something serious going on that doesn’t look obvious on the surface.

Yes, in the end it turned out to be a $4,000 bone, but it also turned out to be a life-saving decision.

We’re so happy for Shadow and her family — and thankful for a happy ending.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1YQr-hbnEkI Here is Wallen... .I found a bug!! Don't worry guys, I got it!

Wallen, is our paralyzed clinic cat (now). He was attacked by 2 big dogs when a kitten, and we hoped he would recover mobility but he did not.... he does not...

11/06/2025

Against all odds… Wallen conquers the cat tree!
Our paralyzed clinic cat, Wallen, somehow manages to climb all the way up into his favorite basket — all by himself! 😻💪

He might not have the use of his back legs, but that doesn’t stop him from doing what he loves most: supervising everyone from his throne. 👑🐈

Give this little legend a round of applause (or a few extra treats)! 💙

I know not everyone believes things like this… but I like to think it’s true.
When our dogs cross that bridge, they’re not afraid. They’re watching us, hoping to see a smile, wanting to make sure we’re alright.
And maybe that’s why we sometimes still feel their presence — because love like that doesn’t really go away. 🐾💖
