Meet Vigo, our first Care Beyond Limits patient! Town and Country Animal Hospital recently helped the very first pet through Lakefield’s new Care Beyond Limits fund: a shoulder-riding, upside-down-snuggling cat named Vigo.

Vigo has battled painful stomatitis for years. When his pain and infection returned again, his family was facing financial hardship, including underemployment and being unable to qualify for standard financing support at the time. That’s when the fund stepped in, becoming the lifeline he needed to receive care and finally get relief.

He’s now recovering and back to what he does best: snuggling on shoulders and charming everyone he meets. This is exactly why Care Beyond Limits exists - to lift barriers when pets need care the most.

More stories to come. 💙🐾

20 New Beginnings start now.
Earlier this month, our PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center team began caring for 20 rescued Italian Greyhounds from a hoarding situation in Smith County, TX. PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center will provide complimentary spay/neuter procedures, dental cleanings, extractions, microchipping, and rabies vaccinations through the Care Beyond Limits Fund, a Lakefield-affiliated charitable program.
In partnership with the Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation Texas & Oklahoma Chapter, these procedures will give each dog the healthy, happy start they deserve after surviving one of the largest hoarding cases in the region.
As Dr. Joyce Li of PawDoc Surgery + Dental Center shared, “This is more than a medical mission, it’s a story of hope, healing, and second chances.”
Follow along to see how their journey unfolds and visit Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation Texas and Oklahoma for more information on adoption availability. From rescue to recovery, and soon, to forever homes, we are honored to be a part of their journey 🧡

Last month's VETtechU event was an incredible celebration of veterinary technicians — packed with energy, education, and inspiration. Attendees earned 14 hours of CE and heard directly from their peers, with nearly every speaker being a technician themselves.

Lakefield was proud to send Danielle C., Karly K., Katherine D., and Emily J. to experience it firsthand. We also joined Boehringer’s nominated techs for a private dinner — a night filled with connection, shared stories from the trenches, and plenty of laughs.

A huge thank-you to Boehringer Ingelheim for the partnership and to everyone who made this event so impactful for the technician community. 💚

After 29 years in veterinary medicine, Dr. Diane Zilker is officially retiring. Dr. Zilker and her husband, David, built Token Creek Veterinary Clinic 18 years ago, creating an exceptional AAHA-accredited hospital that’s become a true pillar in the community.

We first met the Zilker's about eight years ago, and over time, Dr. Gary Goldstein and our team have built a wonderful relationship with Diane, David, and their daughters Rachel and Sophie - who even worked at the clinic as a receptionist.

While we’re sad to see her retire, we’re incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and excellence she’s brought to Token Creek and the countless pets and families she’s helped along the way.

From all of us at Lakefield Veterinary Group, thank you! We wish you, David, Rachel, and Sophie all the best in this next chapter, and we’re honored to continue the legacy you’ve built at Token Creek.
