Here's looking at you!
Meet Binx, he is one of our latest, newest patients that is so adorable! When you meet Binx, you will just want to smother him with big cuddles, fluff him up a bit, and lay with him as if he were your big feathered pillow.
Binx and all of his 30 pounds of fluff is very much loved by us at the Clinic!
Binx has been with our Clinic since January 2010 and has recently moved to a new home with a BIG back yard! Now is the time to get those legs moving and see what’s out there!
A very Happy Birthday SMILE from Jay!
Birthday wishes spoken from his family…
Jay came into our family over the Thanksgiving weekend 11 years ago. We were shopping at North Park Mall and there happened to be an adoption clinic taking place. We walked around the cages and saw Jay. He was the only dog not barking and he looked at us as if saying “You’re going to take me home with you. I belong with your family.” And that is exactly what we did!
He was the perfect addition. Jay is always so happy that he taught himself how to show it with a smile. He greets everyone he likes with beautiful white grin! He is energetic and loves to walk around Town Lake and even though he is 11 years old, he still looks and acts like a puppy. He is also very protective and has never taken a bite out of anyone!!
When we brought Riley, our cat home, Jay took care of him as though he were Riley’s mother and today if anyone tries to bark at or chase Riley, Jay steps between them and protects him.
He is now the alpha dog to a new puppy and is teaching Kemper the right way to behave. He is the best, most loyal and loving animal anyone could ever have! I wish I could clone him!
In real life, "Bambam" is not ugly, he's cute ugly!
“Bambam” was well noted as the “Ugliest Dog in Austin!”
He was born in February 2002 and has been coming to our Clinic since 2003. “Bambam” is the sweetest dog you will ever meet!
While Bambam only won the local contest there is also a “World’s Ugliest Dog” contest. World’s Ugliest Dog Contest Petaluma, CA, as part of the is an annual contest held in Sonoma-Marin Fair, to decide which of the dogs entered in the contest is the ugliest. Along with the title of “The World’s Ugliest Dog,” the winner’s owner gets $1,000.
Abby won the title of World's Ugliest Dog 2010.
Cash prizes for the winner however are just a part of the booty taken home by the winner…. but the real prize is that the dog and owner are launched into worldwide fame, appearing on talk shows and newspapers around the world.
Dogs come from across the United States generally but are welcome to enter from around the world. The 2002 winner and now a “Ring of Champions” holder is Rascal, owned by actor Dane Andrew of Sunnyvale, California.

A survivor!
Rattlesnake bite! This happened to one of our patients just playing in the backyard. If you have an active pet that likes to roam around and is very mischievous in its surroundings, you may want to consider the rattlesnake vaccine. “Rayli” survived, but it was a painful healing process.
Birthday celebrations to our July patriots… one being Bailey!
Bailey’s favorite food are CARROTS. She eats them as treats throughout the day. It’s hilarious to watch her crunch and chew through a big one. She eats so many that we have to buy the HUGE bags of carrots at Costco.
Bailey loves walks, car rides, boat rides, and sleeping in the sunshine. Although 12 is pretty old for a big-breed dog, she’s still going strong.
Sam I am!
Sam is very feminine because he lived in a house with all girls in the city and no yard. It wasn’t until he moved to San Antonio that he climbed his first tree and got stuck in it immediately… such a city boy!
Sam is a good traveler and has been taken on many flights (about 30 at least!) He has lived in New York, Rhode Island, San Antonio, and now full circle back to Austin. Tuna is his absolute favorite food, he loves sleeping on white bedding or inside open suitcases… maybe because he likes to travel!
Happy 15th Birthday, Sam the man-cat!
Handsome Emeril!
Every time I mention “Emeril’s” name, I forget to add his face to my story… so here is my little “Emeril”. His latest fad is the paddling pool! He loves to loll in water. Sometimes when he sees a “pond” while taking his morning walk, he will run as fast as he can towards the water and skim across the “pond” and then he’ll turn back and look at you with a happy face… says “thank you, thank you, thank you…” and wiggles in the water with delight!” Emeril is considered my “wild child!” One time he found a banana leaf and he had it between his teeth trying to fit it through the door – once he succeeded – I had to chase him around the house with this 5 foot leaf in his mouth and him running and looking back, seeming to say “Hey, this is my toy; find your own!” He is a character as I am sure most owners think the same of their own pet!
So, what's on your mind? Swimming or eating?
The Heat is On!
Here are some tips to keep your pet safe during these hot summer days
