Dr. Anna Welsh did a wonderful job explaining everything to me, including what needed to be done and the treatment plan. The entire staff kept me updated throughout the process, which made a stressful situation much easier to handle.
I truly appreciate how caring and attentive everyone was. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my dog and making sure we were taken care of. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a veterinary team they can trust!
I felt truly valued as a client.
I brought my dog, Willy, in today to be seen, and the entire team was welcoming and attentive from the moment we walked through the door. The doctor was super thorough during his exam and took the time to answer all my questions.
To top it off, I found out they offer grooming right in the clinic! I met their groomer while we were there and immediately got Willy on the schedule.
So convenient to have expert veterinary care and grooming under one roof. Highly recommend!
It’s Rivalry Weekend in Dallas, Texas… & in the office!!

Can dogs eat pumpkin for Halloween? Yes!
Homemade pumpkin treats are a dog-safe alternative to Halloween candy. Just use 100% pure pumpkin with no sugar or spices, not pumpkin pie filling.
Mix 1 cup pumpkin, 2 eggs and 2½ cups oat flour. Then roll, cut and bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes. Keep treats under 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
You’ll find the full recipe, plus soft and grain-free versions, on our blog at the link in our bio!

In dogs, it can quickly cause a dangerous drop in blood sugar and even liver failure. So keep that Halloween candy bowl out of reach!

How do you groom your dog at home? Start with these three essential dog grooming tips:
1️⃣ Brush before the bath. Water makes mats tighter, so work through tangles first. Use a detangling spray and a slicker brush, and go from the tips to the roots.
2️⃣ Keep bath time calm. Put down a non-slip mat, use lukewarm water and a pH-balanced dog shampoo, and have everything ready before you start. Dogs with oily coats may need a bath every month. Short-haired breeds can usually go a few months between baths.
3️⃣ Remember the finishing touches. Check nails, ears, and teeth as part of a regular routine. Floppy-eared breeds need their ears cleaned every two weeks. Teeth do best with daily brushing using enzymatic dog toothpaste.
Can you use human shampoo on dogs? No. Human products can dry out your dog`s skin, so use a shampoo made for dogs.
