Hearthstone Animal Clinic Hearthstone Animal Clinic This tradition has continued under the ownership of Houston Veterinarian, Dr. Steve Pelton who purchased the facility in 2007.

Hearthstone Animal Clinic is a full-service, small animal veterinary hospital in Houston providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. Founded in 1982 by Dr. Sterling Hall, Heathstone Animal Clinic quickly became a staple for pet owners in and around Houston seeking high-quality, compassionate care within a welcoming and modern facility.

Two veterinarians leaning over one calm dog on the exam table. That kind of teamwork happens every day at our clinic, and most patients barely notice.

November in Houston is actually a smart time to schedule spay and neuter services. Cooler weather makes recovery a little more comfortable, and getting it done before the holidays means one less thing on the calendar. Dr. Pelton performs laparoscopic spay procedures, which use a smaller incision and typically mean a faster, easier recovery than traditional surgery. We can walk you through whether that option fits your pet.

As a Houston veterinarian serving families from Cypress to Katy since 1982, Hearthstone Animal Clinic handles everything from first puppy vaccinations to surgery, all under one roof. New patients are always welcome.

Cooler evenings in Houston do not mean mosquito season is over. Those little pests carry heartworm, and we see the effects of missed prevention all year long. One lapse in monthly medication can turn into a treatment that is far harder on your dog than the chew itself. Dr. Pelton always says the monthly dose is the easy part, remembering it is the hard part. Whether you have a new puppy needing puppy vaccinations and prevention started, or an old pro who just needs a refill and a quick test, our veterinary clinic keeps it simple. Hearthstone Animal Clinic has cared for dogs from Cypress to Katy since 1982, and tiny patients with big ears hold a special place around here.

If you pull up to Hearthstone and notice our Welcome Board isn't out front, we apologize. 😂

Apparently, Cilantro has claimed it as her personal lounging area.

We tried explaining that the board is supposed to WELCOME our patients, not serve as a cat bed... or her personal drawing board.

She was not interested in discussing it. 🐾

So if the sign is missing, just know it's probably being held hostage by a very comfortable little (super cute) cat. ❤️

A small dog on a blue towel, a steady hand from our assistant, and Dr. Pelton taking a close look at those teeth. This is what most exam days look like here.

Speaking of teeth, fall is a good time to get dental work on the books before the holiday rush. Our pet dental cleaning is done under anesthesia so we can safely remove plaque and tartar below the gumline, where the real problems hide. Bad breath is not just a quirk. It is usually gingivitis asking for attention, and left alone it can turn into periodontal disease or extractions.

As a Houston veterinarian serving families from Cypress to Katy since 1982, Hearthstone Animal Clinic handles everything from routine cleanings to the tougher dental cases. We will even send you home with tips to keep those teeth cleaner between visits.

Gloved hands, a calm dog on the exam table, and two of our team working together like they have done a thousand times. Because they have.

As fall settles in around Cypress, we see a lot of older pets slowing down, and owners often chalk it up to age. Sometimes it is age. Sometimes it is arthritis, early kidney changes, or something a simple blood panel catches early. Our senior wellness exams include blood chemistry, urinalysis, and a full evaluation, so we are not guessing. Dr. Pelton has been reading those numbers for over 25 years, and he is honest about what needs attention and what does not.

Our animal clinic in Houston has cared for families from Cypress to Katy since 1982, and we treat the gray-muzzled patients with the same energy as the puppies. Maybe gentler, actually.

Blue eyes, dark ears, and a tiny flower charm on one very self-assured Siamese kitten. She knows the lavender blanket matches her aesthetic.

Fall is a popular time for new kittens, and those early months matter. Kitten vaccines start around six to eight weeks, with Rabies and FVRCP leading the list, plus feline leukemia where it makes sense. Dr. Pelton can also talk timing for our spay and neuter services, including laparoscopic spay, which usually means smaller incisions and an easier recovery. As a Houston veterinarian, we have guided families from Cypress to Katy through kittenhood since 1982. The vaccination schedule sounds more complicated than it is, and we keep it simple.

Hearthstone Animal Clinic is the veterinary clinic your new roommate deserves. Seen this at home? We can help.

A blue harness, a dark patch over one eye, and a dog sitting on the scale like he owns the place. Good patient, better posture.

Cooler mornings in Houston do not mean mosquitoes are done for the year, and mosquitoes are how heartworm disease spreads. We see it year-round here, which is why prevention is not a seasonal thing. It is a monthly thing. Treatment for heartworm disease is long, expensive, and hard on the dog. Prevention is one chewable and done.

As your Houston veterinarian, our veterinary clinic can test your dog, get prevention started, and check weight and overall health while we are at it. Scales do not lie, but we deliver the news gently. Dr. Pelton has been doing this a long time, and this guy passed with flying colors.

Pine cones, red berries, and one small white dog looking mildly betrayed by his festive outfit. He wore it well, even if he disagreed.

Costume season is here, and while we enjoy the outfits, we would rather check what is hiding under that curly hair. Dental disease is one of the most common issues we see as a Houston veterinarian, and small breeds are especially prone to it. A professional pet dental cleaning under anesthesia lets us remove plaque and tartar safely, and Dr. Pelton can catch early gingivitis before it becomes something worse.

A few signs worth watching at home:
- Bad breath that lingers
- Dropping food or chewing on one side
- Red or bleeding gums

Maroon scrubs and one very small kitten who has decided the shoulder is a fine place to sit. We get attached fast around here.

If a kitten like this recently joined your household, fall is a good time to plan ahead. Core vaccines like Rabies and FVRCP come first, then the spay or neuter conversation around five to six months. Dr. Pelton can walk you through our spay and neuter services, including laparoscopic spay options, which use smaller incisions and often mean a quicker recovery for your cat. Our veterinary clinic has been handling these routines for Houston area families since 1982, and kittens are honestly the easy part. It is the teenagers that get opinionated.

Hearthstone Animal Clinic is the animal clinic Houston families from Cypress to Katy have counted on for decades. More at hearthstonevet.com.

The stare of a black cat who has claimed the top perch of the cat tree and is not accepting feedback. We know that look well.

Fall is settling in around Houston, and indoor cats still need their basics checked off. Core vaccines like Rabies and FVRCP protect even the ones who never leave the house, because viruses do not knock before entering. Our veterinary clinic can also talk through spay and neuter services if you have a younger cat in the mix, and Dr. Pelton can flag dental issues early, since cats hide mouth pain better than almost anything.

Hearthstone Animal Clinic has been the Houston veterinarian for families from Cypress to Katy since 1982, and yes, we have opinions about cats on top shelves.
