As flowers bloom, so do risks for our pets, with plenty of opportunity for them to breathe in particles, scratch an eye, poke a paw, or even get snagged by a branch or thorn, all of which could potentially lead to infections.

Infections can be sneaky subtle—If your pet is not acting right and you are not sure what it is, get them checked! Like with most conditions, the sooner we treat an infection, the better your pet will feel.

🍔 A burger… made their way 🐾
Today is National Hamburger Day, but your pet doesn’t need the drive-thru version to feel included.

In fact, many classic burger ingredients—like onions, garlic, and heavy seasoning—can upset their stomach (or worse). The good news? You can still treat them—just a little differently. Think:
🥩 Plain, lean protein
🥕 Pet-safe veggies
🚫 No added salt, spices, or toppings

Because the best treats aren’t the ones we share…they’re the ones we choose with them in mind. ❤️
If you’re ever unsure what’s safe, we’re always here to help!

It’s Chip Your Pet Month (no…not that chip as much as they want it 🥔)
Pets that are microchipped have significantly higher reunion rates if they get lost—so you can have more moments like these. ​

Join me in welcoming Dr. Ruiz to our practice in June🥳. We are honored she chose us as her home base.

Dr. Raegan Ruiz was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from Texas A&M University, where she also began her veterinary career as a Small Animal ICU technician. In 2022, she was accepted into Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine and started working with Animal Medical Center as a veterinary technician during her studies.
Dr. Ruiz quickly grew to love both AMC and the Texas Panhandle, and she chose to remain in Amarillo following graduation. Her professional interests include integrative medicine, soft tissue surgery, and internal medicine, and she is passionate about caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets of all kinds.
Outside of work, Dr. Ruiz enjoys reading and hiking with her husband and their lab mix, Harley.
