We all want our homes to smell nice and clean; however, as pet owners, we have to be extra careful that whatever we are using isn’t harmful to our fur babies. Incense is dangerous to cats as their sense of smell is 14 times stronger than that of humans and the smell can be too intense for them to handle. It also produces smoke, which can be bad for their respiratory system and increase the risk of your cat developing asthma. Opt for cat-friendly methods of keeping your house smelling fresh and clean by dusting frequently, using baking soda to absorb odors, having fragrant plants such as rosemary or sage, or simmering a pot of water with cinnamon sticks, apples, or vanilla. Stay current with your cats' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling (903) 454-6222.

Recently a few team members had an experience of a lifetime and traveled to Roaton, Honduras to serve with RTR Spay and Neuter. The mission was to offer much needed spay/neuter and other veterinary services to the local island community. They had a goal to reach at least 500 animals and exceeded that number by altering 526! The conditions are primitive and the team is comprised of volunteer veterinarians, veterinary technicians and many others both nationally and internationally to make this happen. This mission was organized and led by our own Hospital Operations Manager, Mallory 😻 A behind the scenes glimpse of her service and faithfulness to this organization and it's mission was enlightening. The organization of such mission requires fundraising, coordination of donated supplies, local partner veterinarians, and of course transportation of all goods and people who served. Our own technicians Kaylee and Jon also travelled with Mallory to serve and give back to the mission and local community. Yes, they worked long hours in the heat, but making a difference in the lives of the animals and their owners in areas of need is a reward like none other. We're super proud of our team's influence and are proud to be part of this mission!

RTR Spay & Neuter would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the entire team Turtle Creek Veterinary Medical Center for your generous donation of supplies, your unwavering support, and the dedication of your staff.

Because of your contributions, our team provided spay and neuter services to 526 animals in just three days across two islands in Honduras. The donated supplies played a vital role in making this mission possible and allowed us to provide high-quality care to hundreds of animals that otherwise may not have had access to veterinary services.

We are especially grateful for the three veterinary technicians Mallory, Jon and Kaylee who volunteered their time, skills, and compassion to serve alongside us. Their hard work and commitment made an incredible impact on both the animals and the communities we served.

A special thank you also goes to Dr. Rocky. The knowledge, guidance, and innovative ideas he shared throughout the planning and ex*****on of this mission are truly priceless. His expertise helped strengthen our program and contributed greatly to the success of this clinic.

Thank you, Turtle Creek Veterinary Medical Center, for believing in our mission and helping us make a difference—one animal at a time. We are proud to partner with such an amazing team and look forward to continuing to change lives together.

With sincere appreciation,

RTR Spay & Neuter

Diabetes is a disease caused by a lack of insulin, the hormone that regulates how sugar is absorbed and used by the cells within the body. It is most often seen in dogs between the ages of 5 and 7, with female dogs being more susceptible than males. Every dog is unique, but keeping an eye out for irregularities in your dog’s behavior is key to determining if your dog may be at risk. Watch out for extreme thirst, frequent urination, notable exhaustion, and lower than normal activity, and obesity. If you have noticed any of these signs in your pup, call us at (903) 454-6222 right away to schedule a thorough examination so we can help you maintain and improve your dog’s health!
