🐾 Introducing... our furry (and not-so-furry) coworkers! 🐾

At Stoneside, our team isn't just amazing - they've got some pretty adorable sidekicks too! Over the next few weeks, we'll be introducing you to all the pets who make our lives a little brighter, a little funnier, and a whole lot fuzzier. 🐶🐱🐢

🐱Meet Leo!

Leo is a two-year-old orange tabby owned by our kennel tech, Haley. When he's not busy running the neighborhood streets like he owns them, you can find him curled up watching his mom play video games - probably judging her gameplay from his royal throne on the couch. 😼🎮

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday, Dr. Shill! 🎂🎉

Help us wish a very happy birthday to the amazing Dr. Shill! 🩺🐾
We’re so lucky to have such a caring, dedicated, and fun-loving doctor on our team. Her compassion for our patients (and their people!) makes every day at Stoneside brighter. 🌟

We hope your day is filled with lots of love, laughter, and maybe even a few puppy kisses! 💕🐶🐱

🐾 Field Trip Day! 🐾

Dr. Shill and Erin spent some time helping out our friends at Waller Dog Rescue, giving some sweet pups their vaccines and heartworm tests! 💉🐶

Let’s just say… Dr. Shill might’ve gotten a little too comfortable behind bars 😆, while Erin found her happy place giving love (and shots!) to the rescue dogs.

We’re so thankful for everything Waller Dog Rescue does for local pets in need — and we’re always happy to lend a paw! ❤️

🌍Out of Office Adventures: Dr. Gaffrey’s Weekend with Wildlife! 🦒🦏

This past weekend, Dr. Gaffrey got to spend some time reconnecting with his zoo med roots by interacting with some truly amazing animals! These giraffes and rhinos are part of the incredible Longneck Manor in Fredericksburg, TX — where they receive top-notch care and play an important role in conservation and education. 💚

Longneck Manor is an Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) accredited facility, a standard of care held by fewer than 10% of facilities in the United States. They’re also a non-profit organization, and their proceeds go directly toward supporting wildlife conservation efforts in Africa and beyond. 🌍🐾

We love seeing our doctors continuing to share their passion for animals both inside and outside the clinic!

🐾 Puppy alert! 🐶

Meet Ivy and Oliver, two teeny 7-week-old Maltese pups who came in for their very first vet visit today! These fluffballs were total superstars — brave, wiggly, and full of kisses. 🐾

Of course, we had to sneak in some snuggle time (purely for medical research, obviously 😉).

We love watching our tiniest patients grow — welcome to the Stoneside family, Ivy and Oliver! 💙🐾

🐾 Meet Frankie, a 13-week-old Frenchie who came in for his very first puppy wellness visit! 💙 He did such a good job and stole everyone’s hearts right away.

Of course, Ashley made sure to get her Frenchie cuddles in—she’s a big fan and never misses the chance when one comes through the door! 🥰

We can’t wait to watch you grow, Frankie! ✨🐶

💕 Sweet Molly had the best recovery snuggles after her spay. Her dad picked her up and held her just like a baby, making sure she felt safe and loved every step of the way. 🥰

We think it’s fair to say Molly has her dad wrapped around her paw… and we absolutely love to see it. After all, is there really such a thing as spoiling them too much? We don’t think so! 🐾💜

🐾 Protect Your Pets from Leptospirosis! 🐾

Did you know Leptospirosis is a serious bacterial disease that can affect both pets and people? It spreads through water, soil, or food contaminated by the urine of infected wildlife (like raccoons, skunks, or rodents). Dogs are especially at risk if they swim in or drink from puddles, lakes, or streams.

⚠️ Symptoms in dogs may include:

✅ Fever
✅ Vomiting or diarrhea
✅ Lethargy
✅ Increased thirst/urination
✅ Jaundice (yellowing of eyes or gums)

💉 The good news? Leptospirosis is preventable with vaccination! Protecting your dog not only keeps them safe but also helps protect your family.

👉 Call us today at 936-931-2244 to schedule your pet’s Lepto vaccine or ask if it’s right for them.

Stay safe, stay protected, and give your pet the best chance at a healthy life! ❤️🐶

🎉 This past weekend we had the pleasure of joining Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming Fairfield to celebrate their one-year anniversary! 🐾💜

We loved meeting so many wonderful people (and pets!) while supporting such a fun local event. A big thank you to Woof Gang for inviting us out—we had a blast!

We also got to spend time with the sweetest pugs from PugHearts of Houston, who are all looking for their forever homes. 🐶✨

📸 First photo: our crew—Julie (Practice Manager), Erin (Lead Tech), and Dr. Gaffrey—at the table.

🐍 Meet Piper, Dr. Shill’s slithery sidekick! From cozying up on Dr. Shill 🐾 to letting Abbi have a turn 🤗, this little snake stole the spotlight at the clinic.

Who’s ready for some snake snuggles? 😄💙
