While the thought of natural disasters can be overwhelming, it’s crucial to plan ahead and consider the safety of your horses and livestock. We encourage you to have up-to-date medical records and to develop an emergency kit.

The idea of having to endure a catastrophic natural disaster can be anxiety-inducing. Planning is pivotal for a positive and safe outcome for both people and large animals alike. The following is a checklist designed for horse and livestock owners in disaster planning and management.

September marks National Disaster Preparedness Month––a time to raise awareness of how families can prepare their pets for disasters and all types of emergencies. Developing a pet disaster kit and evacuation plan in advance ensures you’re prepared when disaster strikes or emergency situations arise.

When disaster strikes, TVMF assists veterinarians who provide medical care to animal victims. Learn more about our Disaster Relief Grant program.

KCVH Phone Updates!

830-534-8769 will NOT be able to accept TEXT messages within 2-3 weeks.

If you have 830-534-8769 saved in your phone, please know this number will always belong to KCVH but it will soon not be able to accept text messages. Many clients have known this number as “Dr. Shawn’s personal number” but it has been changed to a general clinic cell phone for emergencies for several years.

Our main number is (and will always be) 830-780-2170. You can call and text this number! We are in the process of changing our phone provider over the next 2 weeks so if you call or text and you do not get a response, please reach out to us on Facebook. While we do not advise reaching out via Facebook Messenger regularly, or in an emergency, we are using it in the transition.

When our phone system is lined out all numbers will roll to our main line. For emergencies after hours, current clients will be able to make a phone selection to call the on-call doctor. Please keep in mind that KCVH answers after hours calls until 10PM.
