Our First Podcast Episode is Here!

We’re excited to launch Veterinary Horizons, brought to you by Specialty Veterinary Pharmacy . This debut episode was recorded live at Southwest Veterinary Symposium. We had the honor of hosting Dr. Scott Driever, a small animal surgeon, AAHA President (American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and practice owner.

In this conversation, we explored how mastering leadership through continuous learning can drive growth and innovation in the veterinary field.

Recently, Dr. Driever and two of our technicians attended the Southwest Veterinary Symposium for some continuing education, something that we're passionate about for our team. While he was there, he was asked by our friends at Specialty Veterinary Pharmacy to be one of the first guests on their new podcast "Veterinary Horizons" and he and David had a great conversation about team culture, technician utilization, client care and even a little bit about Scouting. Check out the podcast for yourself and let us know what you think! Link is in the comments!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! While we love seeing your pets, seeing them with a tummy ache on Friday is not fun for you or for them! We'll be here if you need us because Cousin Eddie didn't get the memo and fed your pup something they shouldn't have. For emergencies on Thanksgiving while we're closed visit our friends at Sugar Land Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Care. We'll be open our regular hours Friday and Saturday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week, Dr. Driever and Susan traveled to Asheville, NC for a meeting with our Veterinary Management Group. Normally these meetings are several days of lecture, followed by a team building activity and the schedule of activities is built out months in advance.

When Hurricane Helene hit, it hit hard. When our contacts in Asheville said they wanted our meeting to go on and were ready to start getting back to their new normal, our meeting planner jumped into action and led from the heart. We know a lot about hurricanes here, but the destruction we witnessed was like nothing we've ever seen. There is only one veterinary hospital left open in Swannanoa, and they started seeing pets in the parking lot shortly after the storm, much like we do at Animal Hospital Highway 6.

Swannanoa Valley Animal Hospital had their first full day of operation last Monday since the storm hit in late September. Our group decided we had to find a way to help, so many of the veterinarians in the group applied for temporary licenses to practice medicine in North Carolina, while others opted to help with landscaping repairs after the floodwaters destroyed everything from the soil under the foundation of the hospital to the fencing behind the hospital to the landscaping around the building.

Dr. Driever and his colleagues examined and treated a steady stream of pets as the flow of people needing help never stopped. Susan helped in the file room, filing charts when the doctors were done with them and tackling some alphabetizing issues that were slowing the reception team down when they were working so hard to keep up with all of the administrative tasks that front desk super stars manage.

Is everything back to normal in Asheville? Not by a long shot. Potable water is being trucked in daily to restaurants and hotels. The city is under a boil notice indefinitely. Internet service is spotty, but Starlink is helping keep people and businesses connected. The people of North Carolina are resilient and optimistic about the future. It was our honor to be able to do a small thing and help out a fellow independently owned veterinary hospital in need of a break, both physically and mentally. The veterinary community is small, but we know how to take care of one another in times of need. Veterinary Management Groups - VMG

Last week, Dr. Driever and Susan attended the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) 's annual conference AAHA-CON at National Harbor. After serving on the association's board of directors since 2020, Dr. Driever was honored to accept the role of President of AAHA for the next year.

AAHA's standards of care help our hospital in every aspect of the client and patient experience, and Dr. Driever believes so passionately in AAHA's purpose of simplifing the journey to veterinary excellence that he volunteers his time and talents to ensure the association continues to grow and evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of pets and the people who love them.

As always, we're proud to be the only family-owned and operated AAHA Accredited hospital in Sugar Land and Missouri City and thank you for trusting us with your pets' care.

Today we're celebrating our continued dedication to excellence as an American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accredited hospital. Since 1986, we've chosen to go the extra mile for you and your pets!

AAHA is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices in the United States and Canada. Practices that choose to pursue accreditation are evaluated on stringent quality standards that encompass all aspects of veterinary medicine—from pain management and patient care to team training and medical recordkeeping—and are continuously updated to keep accredited practice teams at the forefront of the profession.

Today, only 12%–15% of veterinary practices in the US and Canada hold the “AAHA-accredited” designation. Thank you for choosing us to be your trusted veterinary partner! 🐾❤️🐾

We seem to be having intermittent issues with our phone lines. Rather than send out a notification each time the phones go down and come back up, just know that if you attempt to call and are unable to get through, you can text us at 281-980-8387 and we'll get right back to you.

We hope your power has been restored, or will be soon! Thank you for your patience as we navigate this unpredictable situation.

p.s. It would mean so much to us if you could take a moment to leave us a great review on Google. We appreciate the awesome survey results we get from you all the time, but would love if you'd share your positive experience with the world!
