As we enter into summer we all know what time it is! 4th of July is coming up, and it’s the loudest holiday of the year! 🎆🎇🇺🇸

If your pet struggles with fear and anxiety during loud events such as fireworks, pool parties, or general fun please request your anxiety meds now! Summer fun is in full swing 🌴🦩☀️
Despite having only 3 legs Crunchy is ready to partaayyyy!! (even in his goofy blooper reel)

If your dog, cat, horses, or farmy critters need some oral preventative anxiety meds, give us a shout!

*As a reminder*
Please keep all dogs and cats indoors unless they are securely leashed! Fireworks can cause even the most confident dog or cat to become flighty. 💨
And monitor your pets around all of the smelly, delicious human food at those cookouts 🥩🍔🌭🎂🍦

MVS makes vet visits fun from day ONE!

10 week old ‘Lady Sif’ met Dr. Matthews and her technician Ally for the first time last week…and it’s safe to say she loved it! She immediately won over the team with her curiosity, kisses and those adorable ears!😍. She also, very quickly, approved of our snack offerings, Churu! (Our personal favorite). This provided an enticing and smelly distraction for her vaccinations. She received TWO of her very first puppy boosters and didn’t even blink an eye! A++

MVS provides a unique experience to start your furry friend off on the right foot…or should we say paw? 🐾 Vet visits don’t have to be scary; they are usually filled with snacks and snuggles! Our goal is to work WITH our patients; big and small, young and old.

In case you didn’t know, today is dedicated as ‘National, Fun at Work Day!’

It is impossible to NOT have fun EVERYDAY when we get to stare at these *adorable* faces!

As we wrap up the chaos of the new year and settle down into 2025; we hope these furry faces will put a smile on your face.

MVS would like to wish everyone a very Happy Holidays. 🎄🎅🏻🎁🕎❄️☃️

It wouldn’t be a complete holiday season if we didn’t make our staff pets take some ADORABLE festive photos. Don’t worry Wesley was a willing participant with the help of some peppermints.

Last week MVS tried their hand at our version of a “swine” tough mudder. Dr. T, MVS techs Jesse, Ki’era, Ally and The Homegrown School LLC ‘s very own, Hunter & AJ; all got down and dirty in the pig pen. A few days after some heavy Texas rain the team was facing some serious mud. In case you were wondering the term “slippery when wet” does in fact apply to pigs too. In true pig fashion Black Betty & Wilbur avoided containment at all costs. With the help of Hunter & AJ….our pig boards…and a little perseverance, we were able to get both pigs fully vaccinated!

Please enjoy the hilarious clips located in the comments and feel free to laugh at us. We have also included a clip from last year that showcases Dr. Matthews perfectly executed flying tackle.

Jesse wins MVP of this appointment; not pictured is HIS perfectly executed flying tackle…Ironically of the same pig from last year, Wilbur P.S. Pigs scream…A LOT, usually for no reason so don’t be alarmed!
