Be prepared for 4th of July firework celebrations yall! Make sure your pets have some type of id and contact info!!

Every year, the days leading up to and following the 4th of July, shelters everywhere fill up with animals frightened by fireworks.

While I honestly wish fireworks were never used, that's something that will never happen.

Currently, many shelters are at maximum capacity and there's no room to house anymore animals. While some shelters claim to be "no kill", don't be fooled, EVERY shelter has to make difficult decisions.

Please....beginning July 1st, put a phone number on your pet. You don't have to spend any money. Grab some tape duct tape works great and a sharpie or a ink pen and make the minimal effort to keep your pet from ending up at a shelter.

Even if you think there's no way they can or will escape your property, just do it.

If you love your pet(s) it's your job to protect them.

Finding a stray animal with a phone number makes it SO SIMPLE to reunite them with their owner.

Let's make a difference this holiday and keep animals from ending up at the shelter.

Please spay/neuter your pets.
We are drowning in homeless pets😔

FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY IS BACK!!!! 🎉 🎉🎉

Join us this summer by helping out some non-profit organizations we hold near and dear to our hearts. We will highlight a different organization on Fridays and we are calling it Five Dollar Friday.

We are asking you to spare $5 for a good cause. Kilgore Animal Hospital will match up to $100 for each organization.

This year we are adding a new rescue/rehab group that Dr. Kilgore supports and personally donates to, Colby’s Crew Rescue.

This is their mission:
"We strive to save horses from being slaughtered, one life at a time!"

Colby's Crew Rescue, established in 2021, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is solely focused on the good and well-being of the horse. In August of 2020, our horse Colby was rescued from heading to slaughter. His journey that started out as abuse, neglect, fear of humans and danger has changed into a journey full of compassion, trust, and positivity. Colby has formed an inseparable bond with his trainer, Ally. This bond has inspired the creation of this rescue to help other horses, like Colby, that are in need.

Every year in the United States, over 80,000 horses are shipped out to Mexico or Canada to slaughter houses. These horses endure a one-way trailer rider to an unimaginable fate. The last stop before a slaughter house is a direct-ship kill pen. Colby's Crew rescues horses from kill pens, auctions and bad situations. These horses are usually in terrible condition: sick, neglected and tossed away.

We strive to provide rehabilitation, veterinary care, training, and eventually adoption to forever homes.

This year we are starting with Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society - SOAPS

We personally work and deal with this rescue daily in our hospital. The women who run its day to day operation and its foster network are amazing and they don’t get near the credit they deserve.

The Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society (SOAPS) is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose goal is to promote animal welfare through education, care, and placement of stray or unwanted animals. Additionally, SOAPS advocates sterilization as a means of pet population control, offers community awareness of pet health and safety issues, and strives to encourage humane care of all animals in Toombs County and surrounding counties.

SOAPS saves lives! Adopt don’t shop!

The Blue Angels are here! Practice has officially started in preparation for the air show this weekend.
If your pets have noise induced phobias or anxiety, please keep them inside as much as possible during the day and through out Air Show times (12-4:30). Ensure that you are walking dogs with leashes or supervised in an enclosed yard to ensure they do not run away if frightened. This is also a good time to double check collars and contact information on tags and/or microchips.

If your pet is a current KAH patient and needs any refills on their stress/anxiety medication please make sure to call us before we close at 12:30 tomorrow.

Happy Onion Festival yall! Please go out and support our community this weekend! Have a good time! Make sure to thank a volunteer and our onion farmers! 🧅🧅🧅

To our Kilgore Animal Hospital clients,
We have recently experienced an influx of walk-ins and requests for same day appointments. While we try our best to accommodate these, there are unfortunately days that we are overly booked and unable to squeeze people in without compromising patient care.
We understand that this can be frustrating, but we have to consider our clients who have made appointments and our staff members time and wellbeing in and outside of office hours.
As of Monday, February 19th, walk-in and same day emergent appointments will be assessed an additional urgent assessment fee of $30.
We know that true emergencies arise and are unavoidable, we try to handle these accordingly and get your pet triaged and treated as quickly as possible. That will not change!
