Abby and Claudia enjoyed some lovin from Moose and Pockett during our mobile day yesterday!!

Did you know we offer Mobile Appointments? Wednesday’s are our mobile days where we come to you and your fur baby in a lower stress environment.
We offer almost all services that are provided in clinic (except Radiology, ER, or Surgery).

If your pet needs a visit and they hate the vets office or hate the car— give us a call!
*It is difficult to do same day appointments for mobile as we do fill up fast.

*Educational Post*

Intestinal Parasite Eggs under a microscope!!
Look below—- these are intestinal parasites🪱 (intestinal worms) that can be picked up anywhere by any age dog or cat, some intestinal parasites can even be spread to humans.

Intestinal Parasite screens are recommended every 6 months to 1 year with a pets routine exam- even with monthly prevention dogs/cats can pick up parasites at the dog park, groomers, boarding, or in your very own backyard.

This sample was from a 4 month old puppy 🐶 who had been dewormed multiple times prior. Don’t let intestinal parasites fester as they can cause long term damage and nutritional loss to dogs and cats.

Has your pet been screened/tested lately??

*Accepting New Patients! Call 469-716-4211.

We hope everyone had a great Fourth Of July weekend!
As the temperatures rise outside: please remember!!
1. Walk during the cooler part of the days and no more than 15-30 minute walks- cooler part of day in Texas is BEFORE 6 am and after 9 pm- some days even after 9 it is still too hot.
2. LOOK AT HUMIDITY as well as heat- if the humidity is too high then it is hotter than it shows- do not walk your pets on these days. Even a 10 min walk with a temp of 90 and humidity at 50% can be deadly.
3. FLAT FACED dogs DO NOT need to be walked at any time of the day when there is extreme heat, even 6 am is too hot for them.
4. Make sure any and all animals have access to shade and water when outside, even if for 10 minutes. Try to limit outside time to less than 10-15 minutes at a time.
5. Protect their paws- it’s like walking barefoot for you on hot 120 degree asphalt; if you wouldn’t walk barefoot then do not let your dog walk barefoot on concrete or asphalt

This heat is deadly- a dogs chance of surviving a heat stroke is slim in Texas.
Take care of yourselves and your animals- drink plenty of water in these crazy temperatures!!

*As a side note- we ABSOLUTELY LOVE- to see our four legged friends anytime, we encourage what we call Happy Visits from Day One! If you are out and about with your fur baby stop in and say Hi during Business hours, grab a weight, and a yummy treat! All we ask is that all pets be up to date on vaccines if you are stopping in!!

Happy 😊 Visits encourage dogs and cats to familiarize themselves with the Clinic without being associated with pokes! Starting them young helps reduce anxiety associated with Clinic visits. 🐶

The ACTS Vet Care team took some time for their selves tonight to bond and do some yoga!! 🧘

We enjoyed 🥵 sweating, breathing, 😮‍💨 and learning how to relax and let go of stress! 🧘‍♀️

What many don’t understand is that The Veterinary field can be difficult in all aspects- from angry clients, aggressive dogs, financial constraints, emergencies, the mental toll with Performing Euthanasias multiple times a week, lost time with families due to late night emergencies, feeling like a failure when something doesn’t go as planned… all of us got into this field with one goal in mind- to help as many animals as we possibly could! What we didn’t realize was how hard it would be to make the hard decisions and sometimes say no.

What Others don’t realize is that we are already sacrificing so much of ourselves that unfortunately we cannot please everyone!

Patience is such a calming gift to learn!!

Take time out of your day to BREATH and find peace ☮️ 🕊️ .

We look forward to seeing all our patients this week! We are all stretched out and ready to hold and cuddle all the pups 🐶 tomorrow!

Give us a call @ 4697164211
We have a few openings this week!!!

*Shout out to HalfMoon Yoga!! They were great!
