Our goal is to provide the very highest quality care to our patients. To do this, we strive to offer up-to-date surgical procedures performed by well-trained surgeons.
Our surgical team is dedicated to the care of their patients. We are constantly learning new things to give our patients the highest quality medicine the veterinary world has to offer. We are always looking for new ways to treat patients with less anesthesia and surgical time. This makes the whole procedure less stressful on our patients. They heal faster and can get back to their normal lives quickly.
We also know and understand how stressful surgery can be for owners. However, you can be assured we will take excellent care of your pets. Our staff loves all pets as if they were our own. They will get plenty of love and attention while in our care.

Keeping up with your pet’s annual exam schedule helps us maintain an ongoing record of their health and medical history. if we happen to notice something unusual, we can investigate further and, if surgery is needed, recommend a course of action to help your pet get healthy and back to themselves sooner.
Broken bones are often more challenging for our animal community in Houston because pets don’t understand where the pain and mobility issues are coming from and they can often make fractures worse by trying to go about their daily lives. That is why fracture repair is an important procedure that can help your pet live a healthier, happier life.
Generally a fracture repair involves the veterinarian moving the fractured piece of bone back into place so that it may heal properly. Sometimes more complicated measures need to be taken for badly broken bones, and anesthetic may be required.
It’s a terrible feeling to know that your pet is in pain from a broken bone, especially because there’s little you can do as a pet owner outside of seeking veterinary care.
