At Lone Star Animal Hospital, a preventative care plan will be constructed based on your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, and any underlying health conditions. Preventative care helps to identify diseases early, thus having more options for treatment and intervention. It also allows us to prevent some diseases, and a tailored vaccine plan will be made for your pet.

Acupuncture is the insertion of needles into specific points in the body to produce a healing response. It has been used for thousands of years to treat illnesses as well as for preventative care. From a Western medical perspective, acupuncture can assist the body to heal itself by affecting certain physiologic changes, such as increased blood circulation, decreased inflammation, stimulation of nerves, and release of pain-relieving hormones.

Dentistry is something that all pet owners will need to consider at some point in their pet’s life. Several factors determine when a full cleaning will be recommended (such as genetics, underlying health conditions, and home dental care), but when that time comes for your pet, we want you to understand what goes into a dental cleaning at Lone Star Animal Hospital.

Pain management is one of the most important jobs we have as veterinarians. Pain has been proven to slow recovery, and is of course a source of discomfort for our pets. Pain can be a result of disease, injury, or surgery.
