Your pet is being treated by the same expert helping shape how Chagas disease is understood nationwide.

Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted by “kissing bugs” commonly found in Texas.Once infected, dogs may appear normal while the parasite attacks the heart and other organs.Without intervention, Chagas can lead to:<ul><li>Heart disease</li><li>Arrhythmias</li><li>Sudden death</li></ul>

Early Detection. Advanced Treatment. Led by One of the Nation’s Top Experts.

Do not wait for symptoms to appear.

Chagas disease progresses in stages. The earlier it is identified:<ul><li>The more treatment options are available</li><li>The better heart damage can be managed</li><li>The higher the chance of improving quality of life</li></ul>Waiting can mean irreversible cardiac damage.

If your dog may have been exposed to kissing bugs, do not wait. Chagas disease can silently damage the heart before symptoms appear. Early diagnosis can make the difference.

Chagas disease is often silent early on, but warning signs may include:<ul><li>Lethargy or decreased activity</li><li>Fainting or collapse</li><li>Irregular heartbeat</li><li>Difficulty breathing</li><li>Unexplained weight loss</li></ul>If your dog spends time outdoors, lives in Central Texas, or has been exposed to insects, they may be at risk even without symptoms.

If your dog may be at risk, schedule an evaluation today and get answers from one of the leading experts in the field.

<h1 dir="auto" style="line-height: 2.5rem">Why Preventive Care Matters: The Value of Pet Wellness Bundles</h1>When pets appear healthy, it can be easy to assume everything is fine. However, many health conditions develop gradually and may not show obvious signs until they become more serious.That's why preventive care plays such an important role in veterinary medicine. Routine wellness visits help identify potential concerns early, support long-term health, and give pet owners a better understanding of their pet's overall well-being.For many families, wellness bundles provide a convenient and cost-effective way to stay current on recommended preventive care throughout the year.<h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 2.25rem">What Is Preventive Veterinary Care?</h2>Preventive care focuses on keeping pets healthy rather than waiting until illness develops.Routine wellness exams allow veterinary teams to evaluate a pet's overall health, monitor changes over time, and discuss important topics such as nutrition, weight management, parasite prevention, dental health, and age-related concerns.Regular veterinary visits can help identify issues before they become more complicated, which often leads to better outcomes and less stressful treatment plans.<h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 2.25rem">Why Wellness Exams Are Important</h2>Pets age much faster than people, which means significant health changes can occur in a relatively short period of time.Annual or semi-annual wellness exams help establish a health baseline and allow veterinarians to detect subtle changes that may otherwise go unnoticed.These visits also provide an opportunity to review vaccination status, discuss lifestyle changes, and ensure preventive care recommendations remain appropriate for your pet's needs.For senior pets, routine monitoring becomes even more valuable as age-related conditions become more common.<h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 2.25rem">How Wellness Bundles Help Pet Owners</h2>One of the biggest barriers to preventive care is often cost.Wellness bundles are designed to help pet owners stay proactive by combining recommended services into a more affordable package. Rather than delaying routine care, wellness bundles make it easier to keep pets on schedule with important health services.By investing in preventive care today, pet owners may be able to avoid more serious health concerns and unexpected expenses in the future.<h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 2.25rem">Supporting Your Pet Through Every Life Stage</h2>Preventive care is important for pets of all ages.Puppies and kittens need regular exams to support healthy growth and development. Adult pets benefit from ongoing wellness monitoring and preventive care recommendations. Senior pets often require closer observation to help manage age-related health changes.No matter their age, routine care helps ensure pets receive the attention they need to stay healthy and comfortable.<h2 dir="auto" style="line-height: 2.25rem">Limited-Time Wellness Bundle Savings</h2>As part of our commitment to preventive care, participating hospitals are offering a limited-time wellness bundle promotion.The offer provides up to 30% off select wellness bundles, helping make preventive care more accessible for pet owners.<div style="text-align: center;" class="image"><img height="auto" style="" src="https://atl-uvc-prd-s3-cms-assets.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/1790973757288-a7225b51-164f-4166-8e22-f7cce28c05d9-16.png" flipx="false" flipy="false" align="center" inline="false"></div><div style="text-align: center;" class="image"><img height="auto" style="" src="https://atl-uvc-prd-s3-cms-assets.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/1790973763459-0b7d81f5-7356-495f-bda9-ebbd3d5ec62b-16.png" flipx="false" flipy="false" align="center" inline="false"></div>Please refer to the attached offer for complete details, eligibility requirements, and participating services.<h2 dir="auto" id="heading-6" style="line-height: 2.25rem">Investing in Long-Term Health</h2>Preventive care is one of the most valuable investments pet owners can make. Routine wellness visits provide opportunities to detect concerns early, track health changes over time, and support a higher quality of life for pets at every stage.A proactive approach today can help support healthier tomorrows for the pets who depend on us every day.Wellness bundles are available for well pets only and are not intended for pets presenting with illness, injury, or other medical concerns. This bundle cannot be combined with other promotions. Bloodwork is a required component of adult and senior bundles and may not be removed. Vaccines are not included in the bundle price; however, a flat $10 discount will be applied to any bundle that includes a vaccine.

Saying goodbye is the hardest part of loving a pet. When that time comes, you deserve clarity, comfort, and the space to make decisions with peace of mind.

End-of-Life Support

When your pet needs medication, trust and convenience matter. At (), we prescribe and dispense medications directly from the team whos seen your pet, knows their health history, and understands their specific needs.
No guessing, no delays, and no unnecessary confusion.


Pet Prescriptions

Skin issues are one of the most common reasons pets end up at the vet, and they're also some of the most frustrating. Allergies, infections, or even food sensitivities can all cause your pet discomfort.

Dermatology & Allergy Care

When pets act out, there's almost always a reason. Anxiety, fear, medical conditions, or past trauma can show up as barking, biting, hiding, or destruction. Our job is to uncover the cause and help your pet feel safe again.

Pet Behavior & Anxiety Support

Nutrition is the foundation of good health, and a powerful tool in managing weight, energy, chronic conditions, and even behavior.

Pet Nutrition

A sudden limp. A skipped meal. A look that says something's off. When your pet isn't feeling right, same-day answers make all the difference. 

Urgent Care

Your pet can't tell you when something's wrong. That's why regular wellness exams are so important. These visits give us the chance to catch health issues early, before they become painful or costly.  

Wellness Exams

Bad breath isn't just annoying - it's often a sign of deeper health issues. Dental disease in pets can lead to oral pain, local or systemic infection, tooth loss, and even heart, liver, or kidney complications. 

Dental Care

Fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms are not just a nuisance, they are dangerous. These tiny pests can cause serious health issues like Lyme disease, heartworm disease, and tapeworms. 

Parasite Prevention

Vaccines are one of the most important tools we have to protect pets from serious, often deadly diseases. Whether you have a rambunctious or a relaxed pet, vaccinations help your pet build strong immunity and avoid preventable illness.

Vaccinations

Comprehensive surgical services, from routine procedures to complex operations, all are performed with expert care.

Pet Surgeries

When your pet isn't acting like themselves, diagnostic testing helps us find the reason. From bloodwork, urine testing, and fecal exams to x-rays, these tests give us a window into what's happening inside, so we can take action before things get worse.

Diagnostic Testing

When pets get sick or injured, you want answers fast. Advanced imaging gives us a deeper look, without invasive procedures.


Advanced Diagnostic Imaging

Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most important decisions you can make for their long-term health. It helps prevent certain cancers and infections, curbs unwanted behaviors, and reduces the number of orphaned pets in shelters.

Spay And Neuter

Permanent ID for Peace of Mind. A collar can come off. A tag can get lost. But a microchip is a permanent, tamper-proof way to make sure your pet always has a way home. At (), we offer safe and simple microchip implantation, so your pet stays connected to you, no matter what.

Pet Microchipping

Discover hidden dental issues before they cause pain with pet dental radiology at (). Our veterinary dental X-rays reveal infections, bone loss, and tooth damage beneath the gum line, ensuring safer, more effective treatment. Non-invasive and included in every comprehensive dental cleaning, dental radiographs for pets help protect your pet's health, comfort, and smile for years to come.
