🐱 And don’t forget our cats!

In 2025, Texas reported 42 confirmed rabies cases in domestic animals, a 75% increase over 2024. Cats accounted for 19 of those cases, making them the most frequently affected domestic animal species.

Cats are often overlooked when it comes to rabies prevention!

Rabies vaccination isn’t just for dogs. Cats need protection, too!

🚨 463 CONFIRMED RABIES CASES IN TEXAS IN 2026! 🚨

Rabies isn’t something that only happens in the wild or somewhere far away. It’s right here in Texas, and our pets can be exposed in their own backyards!

Bats, skunks, raccoons and foxes are among the wildlife species that can carry rabies. Even a seemingly harmless encounter can put your pet at risk.

We recently had a local reminder of just how close to home rabies can be when a dog encountered a bat that subsequently tested positive for rabies.

🐾 A few important reminders:

❤️ Keep your dog’s and cat’s rabies vaccinations current.

❤️ Avoid allowing pets to interact with wildlife.

❤️ Never handle bats or other wild animals, especially if they appear sick or injured.

❤️ If your pet has contact with a potentially rabid animal, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Rabies is a fatal disease, but vaccination is an incredibly effective tool for prevention.

Don’t take chances with a disease we can prevent!

At Southwest Texas Veterinary Medical Center, we’re here to help keep your pets, livestock and families protected.

With the combination of Quantum™ and ProHeart® 12, we can offer an exciting approach to year-round parasite protection.

🐾 Why we love this combination:

💉 Quantum™

* One injection provides 12 months of flea and tick protection.
* No monthly chewables or topical treatments to remember.
* Helps provide consistent protection throughout the year.

❤️ ProHeart® 12

* One injection provides 12 months of heartworm prevention.
* Also treats common intestinal parasites.

What’s the biggest benefit? CONVENIENCE!

Two injections. One annual wellness visit. Twelve months of protection against some of the most common parasites threatening your dog’s health.

Living in South Texas means fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and intestinal parasites are concerns throughout the year. Parasite prevention isn’t just a summertime necessity!

Happy National Cat Day 🐈‍⬛🐱🐈🐾

We celebrate cats everyday at SWTVMC. Did you know we have a special kitty room?

At Southwest Texas Veterinary Medical Center, we believe cats deserve exceptional veterinary care tailored to their unique needs. Our team is committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive medical care while making every visit as comfortable and low-stress as possible.

Our Special Kitty Room offers a quieter, cat-focused environment where we can work to make veterinary visits more positive for our feline patients.

Little Details That Make a Difference

🐾 A Quiet, Secluded Space
A dedicated room helps provide a calmer environment away from the activity of the general hospital.

🐾 No Dogs Allowed
Our kitty room is reserved for feline patients, helping minimize the sights, sounds, and smells of canine visitors.

🐾 Comfortable Accommodations
A cat-friendly resting area and white noise help create a more relaxing atmosphere.

🐾 Treats and Positive Experiences
When appropriate for your cat, tasty treats can help make the visit a little more rewarding.

🐾 Feline Pheromones
We use cat pheromone products in our room to help promote a more comfortable environment.

Every cat is different, and our team strives to tailor each visit to your cat’s individual needs. Let us know if your kitty has special preferences or tends to become anxious during veterinary visits! 🐾

Rainy day cancellations make room for same-day appointments!! Call us whether your pet hasn’t been feeling well or it is time to get updated on preventive care.
