People sometimes ask how long I’ve been doing dentals?

Well here is a picture of my first tooth extraction/dental which was performed on a green mamba about 8 years ago. He had an infected fang which is why his eye is white on that side.

We are incredibly proud of Dr. Samantha “Dr. Mac” McIntosh!

Dr. Mac was recently recognized as a 2026 Twenty Under 40 Award recipient by the Kerrville Daily Times, honoring influential young leaders making a positive impact in Kerr County.

She also received a letter of recognition from U.S. Congressman Chip Roy, who represents our County for Texas’ 21st Congressional District, congratulating her for the work she does serving the Hill Country community through Friends Veterinary Clinic.

From long clinic days and after-hours emergencies to working with local rescues and TNR organizations, Dr. Mac is deeply committed to improving the lives of animals and the people who love them.

We’re incredibly proud of her and grateful to serve such an amazing community. Thank you to everyone who trusts us with the care of your pets.

Meet Bernardo our most distinguished gentleman. 🎩🐾 🐈

Bernard came to see us today at Friends Veterinary Clinic looking sharp in his bow tie. He’s here for entropion eye surgery, a procedure that corrects an eyelid that rolls inward and causes irritation to the eye. His procedure is scheduled this Thursday. This surgery will help make him much more comfortable.

A huge thank you to Kerrville Pets Alive! for stepping in to cover Bernard’s surgery and care. After his procedure and recovery, Bernard will be going into foster care while he waits to find his forever home.

He has already won over the hearts of our staff with his sweet personality and gentlemanly charm.

If you’d like to follow Bernard’s journey or are interested in fostering or adopting, keep an eye on Kerrville Pets Alive!

Let’s all wish Bernard a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery!

We want to give a shout out to Jesus with Titan Lawn & Landscape LLC. He has been taking care of the lawn at Friends Veterinary Clinic for several months now and consistently does an excellent job. His attention to detail and reliability really stand out.

We’ve actually had several clients ask us who takes care of our lawn because it always looks so good. If you’re looking for someone dependable who takes pride in their work, we highly recommend Jesus and Titan Lawn & Landscape.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Dr. Samantha McIntosh for being named one of the Kerrville Daily Times 20 Under 40 honorees 🎉

This award recognizes young leaders who are making a real difference in our community, and anyone who knows Dr. Mac knows how deeply she cares about the pets and families of Kerr County. From long clinic days to after-hours emergencies, rescue work, and community outreach she truly gives her whole heart to this town.

This honor would not have been possible without the nominations sent in by members of our community and our clients we’ve come to know in our short time here. Thank you for believing in her and supporting our clinic it truly means the world to us.

Congratulations to all of the amazing recipients who were recognized. Kerr County is lucky to have such a passionate group of leaders helping our community grow and thrive.

Emergency wrapped up for the night and I walk up front to find Zoey clocked in and running the place.

Apparently she’s our new Director of After-Hours Affairs.

• Answered zero phones
• Filed zero charts
• Judged everyone
• Sat on the warmest spot in the building
• Scheduled herself for a 14-hour nap

She says the emergency went well, but she’ll be implementing a new clinic policy effective immediately:
All staff must pet management before leaving for the night. 🐱
