A Little Microchip Magic, Two Happy Reunions!

Sometimes, the smallest things make the biggest difference.

Recently, a kind family found two dogs and brought them to our clinic to see if they had microchips. We scanned both dogs, and thankfully, the microchips gave us a way to track down their family!

Our team made the call, and just like that, we were able to help bring two very loved dogs back home.

We’re so thankful for the family who took the time to bring these two in and for the microchips that helped make this happy reunion possible.

A friendly reminder: Make sure your pet’s microchip information is up to date! A microchip only works if your contact information is current.

🐾 Animal Welfare Week | October 3–9

Animal welfare isn't just about preventing suffering.

It’s recognizing when an animal is in pain.
It’s providing appropriate medical care when they’re sick or injured.
It’s protecting animals from neglect and abuse.
And sometimes, it’s being their advocate when they can’t advocate for themselves.

In emergency veterinary medicine, we see animals on some of their worst days. They may arrive frightened, injured, painful, or critically ill. Our job is more than treating the medical problem in front of us, we have a responsibility to recognize their needs, minimize their suffering, and provide compassionate care.

Every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity and respect, whether they arrive as a beloved family pet, a stray, a rescue, or an animal whose story we may never know.

This week, we're recognizing the people who work every day to improve the lives of animals, and reminding our community that being an advocate for animals can start with something as simple as paying attention when they need us. ❤️🐾

Happy National Pet Wellness Month! 🐾✨

While we usually see your furry family members during unexpected moments, our team cares deeply about keeping them healthy, happy, and thriving every single day.

Prevention is truly the best medicine!

This October, we are sharing four quick wellness checks you can do at home to help spot potential health issues before they become emergencies:

• Check the Weight: Keep a close eye on sudden weight loss or gain, which can be an early sign of underlying health conditions.

• Inspect the Teeth: Check for heavy tartar buildup, bright red gums, or bad breath, as dental disease can impact their heart and kidneys.

• Monitor the Energy: Take note if your normally playful pet is suddenly lethargic, reluctant to climb stairs, or hiding.

• Watch the Water Bowl: Look out for a sudden, dramatic increase in drinking and urination, which frequently points to metabolic issues like diabetes or kidney disease.

Catching subtle changes early can keep your pet out of the ER and on the couch where they belong!

❤️ We are here if you need us: Remember, if your pet ever shows sudden signs of distress, extreme lethargy, or pain, our emergency doors are open.

MEET OUR LEAD TECHNICIANS

Behind every strong emergency veterinary team are technicians who help keep things moving by supporting their coworkers, mentoring newer team members, helping coordinate patient care, and stepping up when the hospital gets busy.

Our Lead Technicians are an important part of the HCAEH team. They bring experience, knowledge, and leadership to every shift while still doing what they love most: caring for our patients and their families. 🐾

Meet the people helping lead our team:

🔹 Cody Joe
🔹 Avery
🔹 Bea

We’re proud of the experience and dedication these technicians bring to HCAEH and even prouder of the way they strive to support the people around them.

Leadership in emergency medicine isn't just about being in charge. It's about being the person your team can count on. ❤️

🐾 Kerrville, we’re coming to see you! 🐾

We’re at to Bark in the Park at Sample Park TODAY from 10 AM–1 PM! 🐶

There’s just something about a day filled with dogs, their people, and a good community gathering that makes us happy. ❤️

At Hill Country Animal Emergency Hospital, we believe supporting our communities means more than caring for pets when they need us most. It means getting out, showing up, meeting our neighbors, and being part of the events that bring people together.

So if you’re at Bark in the Park today, come find us! Bring your pups, bring the family, and come say hello. 🐕🐾

We’ll see you there! ❤️ and who knows; you may meet one of these amazing Rescue pups and get a passenger on the way home 😏

🐾 Some Heroes Have Four Legs

There’s something extraordinary about dogs.

They can find what we can’t see.
They can detect what we can’t smell.
They can navigate places we never could.
And somehow, in the middle of fear and chaos, they know when someone needs comfort.

On September 11, 2001, hundreds of specially trained search-and-rescue dogs worked alongside their handlers and first responders at Ground Zero. They searched through unimaginable conditions, looking for survivors and helping with recovery efforts.

But their work wasn’t only about what they could find.

Their presence mattered, too.

For first responders working through exhaustion, grief, and heartbreak, these dogs offered something incredibly simple, a wagging tail, a gentle nudge, a moment of connection, a reminder of something good in the middle of something terrible.

That’s one of the amazing things about dogs.

They don’t need to understand what happened to know we need them. ❤️

At HCAEH, we see every day just how remarkable our four-legged family members are. They protect us, comfort us, work beside us, and stay by our side when we need them most.

On September 11, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the remarkable dogs who stood beside them. 🇺🇸🐾

🐾 THEY’RE FAMILY. PLAN FOR THE UNEXPECTED.

We insure ourselves because we know life doesn’t always go according to plan. Our pets are no different.

An accident, sudden illness, or emergency can happen without warning, and the cost of unexpected veterinary care can add another layer of stress to an already difficult situation.

Pet insurance is simply one option pet families may choose to consider when planning for the unexpected.

Just like with our own insurance, policies can differ significantly, so it’s important to understand what is, and isn’t covered before choosing one.

At HCAEH, our goal is simply to help pet parents think ahead, ask questions, and be prepared for the unexpected moments that come with loving our four-legged family members.

❤️ You hope you never need it. But being prepared can make a difficult day a little easier.

Happy Labor Day from HCAEH

LABOR DAY LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN EMERGENCY VETERINARY MEDICINE.

While many are enjoying a long weekend with family, our team is still here, working, caring, monitoring, treating, comforting, and doing all the little things that keep our patients moving toward recovery and back home to their families.

Emergency veterinary medicine takes a team.

It takes the technicians who jump into the middle of a critical case.
The assistants who never stop moving.
The reception team who helps worried families navigate a stressful night.
The doctors who piece together complicated cases when the answers aren't obvious.
And every other person behind the scenes who keeps the hospital running.

Labor Day is a reminder to recognize the people who show up and do the work.
To our HCAEH team: thank you for what you do, for the patients you care for, and for the families you help.

And to everyone spending the holiday with their own two, and four legged family members, enjoy the extra day together. You earned it.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Hill Country Animal Emergency Hospital!
