Welcome Dr. Megan Short to our team!

We're excited to introduce the newest member of the Abshier-Meuth Animal Hospital family — Dr. Megan Short, DVM!

Dr. Short is a Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine graduate who is passionate about educating pet owners, providing compassionate care through all stages of life, and improving patient outcomes. When she's not caring for your pets, she's at home with her husband, two kids, four dogs, and two cats — so she truly understands life as a pet parent!

We're so happy to have her on our team, and we know you and your furry family members will love her.

📞 Give us a call or book online to schedule your next appointment with Dr. Short or any of our doctors!

It’s National Veterinary Reception Week! 🐾🐶

We are honored to celebrate our amazing Client Service Representatives, Kim and Kimberly. They are the first smiles our clients see when they walk through the door, and the calm, reassuring voices behind every call.

Abshier-Meuth Animal Hospital was honored to celebrate the retirement of K9 Hero from the Baytown Police Department this week! 🐾

During his 9 years in service, K9 Hero played a vital role in the safe resolution of numerous high risk incidents throughout his career. His work has directly contributed to the apprehension of violent offenders, the recovery of fi****ms, and the disruption of criminal activity. In recognition of his exceptional service, Hero has received multiple awards and honors.

Over the course of more than 700 deployments, including tracking suspects, narcotics detection, and evidence recovery, Hero, alongside his handler Officer Calvert, helped facilitate the arrest of 230 suspects and the apprehension of 50 individuals.

K9 Hero will become the third retired Baytown Police K9 proudly sponsored by For The Big & The Brave- Retired K9 Medical Foundation founded by our lead veterinarian, Dr. Mallory Nailon, which will provide for his medical care during retirement.

We thank K9 Hero for his dedicated service and wish him a well deserved, happy and healthy retirement 🦴🇺🇸💙

We had such a great time at Career Day!

Dr. Nailon and veterinary technician Sydney joined more than 85 other speakers at Goose Creek Memorial High School to share what it’s like to work in the veterinary field.

At Abshier-Meuth Animal Hospital, we’re honored to be part of our community and to have the opportunity to speak with students about this incredibly rewarding profession. We are always excited to inspire the next generation of animal care professionals!

And of course, Sydney’s sweet pup, Zoey, completely stole the show and the hearts of so many students! 🐾

February 20th is National Love Your Pet Day, a day that means so much to us!

Every day at Abshier-Meuth Animal Hospital, we are reminded how special the bond is between pets and their people. The love they give so freely, the comfort they bring, and the joy they add to our lives is truly unmatched.

Today, we’re sharing photos of our own beloved pets, both past and present, the ones who greeted us at the door, curled up beside us after long days, and reminded us why we chose this profession in the first place. They are family, just like yours.

Thank you for trusting us with the care of your precious companions. We promise to continue caring for your pets as if they were our own because to us, they truly are. ♥️🐾

Abshier-Meuth Animal Hospital would like to congratulate one of our veterinary assistants, Juliann, on beginning her journey into veterinary school! Over the next several years, she will be studying toward becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and we could not be more proud!

For many years, Juliann dedicated her time outside of school to working and training alongside our doctors and staff, gaining hands-on experience and demonstrating an incredible work ethic and passion for animal care. While we were sad to see her go today, we are so proud of all the hard work and determination that led her to this exciting milestone.

We have no doubt that Juliann will excel in veterinary school and become an outstanding addition to the veterinary community. We can’t wait to see all that she accomplishes! ♥️🐾🩺
