🎉🐾 Meet Dr. Grace! 🐾🎉

We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of our team, Dr. Grace! We couldn't be more excited to see where this career takes her.

Dr. Grace hails from The Woodlands, TX, and has spent her entire life in the great state of Texas! Growing up, she was an avid sports enthusiast, playing a variety of sports, but she truly shined in soccer, which she played through college at Texas A&M. 🏅⚽️

Her passion for Veterinary Medicine led her to Vet School at Texas A&M (gig’em!), where she fell in love with everything about Aggieland, especially the sports! 🏈🎓

Dr. Grace's veterinary interests are diverse, including surgery, preventative care, and large animal medicine. Her dedication to animal health and well-being is truly inspiring!

On a personal note, Dr. Grace is getting married this January and has a wonderful furry family: a golden retriever named Riggs and a cat named Kallie! 🐶🐱

Heartworm prevention is a must for our furry friends! 💔🐶

Why is prevention crucial?

1️⃣ Heartworm Disease: Mosquito-transmitted parasites can harm your dog's heart and lungs, leading to severe issues or death.

2️⃣ Costly Treatment: Treating heartworms is emotionally and financially draining. Prevention is much cheaper.

3️⃣ Pain and Discomfort: Infected dogs suffer from coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and breathing difficulties.

4️⃣ Long-term Effects: Even treated, heartworms can damage organs, affecting quality of life.

5️⃣ Simple Prevention: Monthly medication from your vet can keep your pup safe.

🎆 Keeping Your Pets Fear-Free This 4th of July! 🎆
The 4th of July is a time for celebration, but for our furry friends, it can be a source of stress and anxiety. Loud fireworks, parties, and unfamiliar activities can be overwhelming for pets. Here are some tips to help keep your pets calm and safe during the festivities:

💊 Anti-Anxiety Medications:
If your pet experiences severe anxiety, it might be a good idea to talk to your vet about anti-anxiety medications. These can be a valuable tool in keeping your pet calm and comfortable. Be sure to:
Plan Ahead: Visit your vet well before the 4th of July to discuss your pet’s needs and obtain any necessary medications.

🐾 Create a Safe Space:
Set up a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your pet can retreat from the noise. Include their favorite bed, toys, and some calming music or white noise.

🐾 Keep Pets Indoors:
Even if your pet is used to being outside, it’s best to keep them indoors during fireworks. This will reduce the risk of them running away or getting injured.

🐾 Exercise Before the Festivities:
Take your pet for a walk or engage in some playtime earlier in the day. A tired pet is more likely to stay calm during the evening's events.

🐾 Use Calming Products:
Consider using pheromone diffusers, calming collars, or anxiety wraps to help soothe your pet. These products can provide comfort and reduce stress levels.
Stay Calm Yourself:

🌞 Pets often take cues from their owners. If you stay calm and relaxed, it can help your pet feel more secure.

🐶🐱 Keep Them Distracted:
Toys and Treats: Provide plenty of toys and interactive games to keep your pet engaged.
Frozen Treats: Freeze some of their favorite treats or peanut butter in a Kong toy to provide a long-lasting distraction.

🚨 Identification:
Ensure your pet has up-to-date identification tags and a microchip with current contact information. In case they do get scared and run away, this will increase the chances of a quick reunion.

Did you know that fireworks can be a source of extreme anxiety for our furry friends? While we enjoy the dazzling displays, it's crucial to remember that the loud noises and bright lights can be terrifying for our pets. Dogs have far superior hearing compared to humans, which means they perceive fireworks as much louder and scarier. The decibel level of fireworks can reach up to 120-150 dB, well above the threshold for causing hearing damage in pets and humans alike. There are many things you can do to help your pet through this holiday; from finding them a safe, quiet place to giving them anti-anxiety medications! Give us a call if you need help finding the right options for your pet!

🐾 Meet Lil Girl, our adorable furry friend who recently paid a visit for her wellness panel! 🌟 Sometimes, our pets just need a little extra love and reassurance during these appointments, and that's exactly what Lil Girl got. ❤️

It includes wellness bloodwork to ensure their internal organs are functioning as they should, a heartworm test to detect any potential heartworm infection, and an intestinal parasite screening to keep those pesky critters at bay. 🩺💉

✨ Why is this important, you wonder? Well, it's a proactive approach to your pet's well-being. By catching any issues early on, we can address them swiftly before they escalate into bigger problems. Prevention is key when it comes to keeping our furry companions happy and healthy! 🐶💪

🐾 Meet Milo, the resilient pup who proves that accidents can happen when we least expect them. 😱

Back in July, Milo's owner wisely grabbed a Trupanion offer (30 days free coverage of pet insurance) for his wellness visit, and today, that decision proved invaluable. Poor Milo found himself in a bit of a wire-eating predicament, but thanks to his pet insurance coverage, he got the care he needed without any added stress to his humans. 🙏

Despite the mishap, Milo remained his usual cheerful self all morning, spreading joy wherever he went. 🐶💕 And let's not forget the extra TLC he received from his buddy, TJ! 🤗

This serves as yet another reminder of the importance of pet insurance. It's not just for emergencies; it's for those unexpected moments that catch us off guard. Don't wait until it's too late—ensure your furry friend's well-being today!

🐱 Meet Timber, the incredible 13-year-old kitty who just underwent a dental cleaning!💫 Timber's journey began with severe dental disease, a common yet often overlooked issue in our feline friends. 😿 But thanks to the dedication of his loving family and the expertise of our veterinary team, Timber's story took a remarkable turn.

After the owners overcoming the initial nerves about anesthesia, Timber underwent a much-needed dental procedure. And let me tell you, the results speak for themselves! 😺✨ Just two weeks later, Timber's recheck revealed a brand new kitty—full of energy, playfulness, and zest for life! 🎉 It's as if he's rediscovered his inner kitten!

🚨 Important Announcement for Pet Owners! 🚨

Let's dive into the world of tick-borne diseases: Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Lyme. Lady recently tested positive for both Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, and it's crucial to understand what these diseases are and the symptoms they can cause in our furry companions.

🔍 Anaplasma**: This bacterial infection, transmitted by ticks, can lead to symptoms like fever, lethargy, joint pain, and decreased appetite in dogs.

🔍 Ehrlichia**: Another tick-borne illness, Ehrlichia infects white blood cells and can manifest as fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, swollen lymph nodes, and in severe cases, bleeding disorders.

🔍 Lyme Disease**: Caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through tick bites, Lyme disease can result in fever, lameness, joint swelling, lethargy, and decreased appetite.

In the photos, you can observe the presence of Anaplasma and Ehrlichia in Lady's blood smear. Early detection through comprehensive testing is vital for prompt treatment and management of these diseases.

Our clinic's heartworm test not only screens for heartworms but also includes these three tick-borne diseases: Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma. It's part of our commitment to keeping your pets healthy and protected!

Stay proactive by checking your pets for ticks regularly, especially during tick season, giving flea & tick prevention pills and consult with your veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms or if you have questions about tick-borne diseases.

Let's work together to keep our furry friends safe and healthy! 🐾❤️

Ticks, Ticks, and more Ticks!
As the weather warms up, it's essential to talk about a not-so-friendly visitor: ticks! The ticks you see pictures were found all on ONE PET! These pesky parasites can pose serious health risks to our furry friends, but the good news is, there are steps we can take to prevent them.

Here are some tips to keep your dogs and cats tick-free:

1️⃣ Regular Check-ups: Make it a habit to thoroughly check your pets for ticks after outdoor adventures, especially in areas with tall grass or wooded areas.

2️⃣ Tick Prevention Products: Talk to your veterinarian about the best tick prevention products for your pets. There are many options available, including topical treatments, collars, and oral medications.

3️⃣ Tick Habitats: Keep your yard tidy by mowing the lawn regularly and removing any debris where ticks might hide. Consider creating a tick-safe zone with gravel or wood chips between your lawn and wooded areas.

4️⃣ Outdoor Awareness: Avoid walking your pets in areas known to be heavily infested with ticks, such as tall grassy fields or heavily wooded areas.

5️⃣ Grooming: Regular grooming sessions can help you spot and remove ticks before they have a chance to attach and transmit diseases.

Remember, prevention is key when it comes to ticks! By staying vigilant and taking proactive measures, we can keep our beloved pets safe and healthy all year round. 🐾❤️

🐾 Attention, all dog lovers! 🐾

Heartworm prevention isn't just a recommendation—it's a MUST for our furry friends! 💔🐶

Check out this eye-opening video showing microfilaria, the tiny heartworm larvae, which can develop into a major threat to our dogs' health. 😱

Why is heartworm prevention so crucial? Let me break it down:

1️⃣ **Heartworm Disease**: These pesky parasites, transmitted through mosquito bites, can wreak havoc on a dog's heart and lungs, leading to severe health issues and even death if left untreated.

2️⃣ **Costly Treatment**: Treating heartworm disease is not only emotionally draining but also financially burdensome. Prevention is far less expensive than the extensive treatment required to rid a dog of heartworms.

3️⃣ **Pain and Discomfort**: Infected dogs may suffer from coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty breathing. It's heartbreaking to watch our beloved pets endure such pain.

4️⃣ **Long-term Health Effects**: Even if successfully treated, heartworm disease can leave lasting damage to a dog's organs, impacting their quality of life.

5️⃣ **Preventive Measures are Simple**: Thankfully, preventing heartworms is relatively easy with regular medication prescribed by your vet. A simple monthly pill or topical treatment can keep your furry friend safe.

Let's prioritize our pups' health and well-being by staying vigilant with heartworm prevention! ❤️
