🐱 National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! 🩺

Today is the purr-fect reminder to schedule your cat’s wellness exam! Regular veterinary visits help keep our feline friends healthy, happy, and thriving. ❤️🐾

A quick practice update: Dr. Kat has welcomed a beautiful little girl to get family and will be on maternity leave through the end of August. She will be seeing emergencies on a limited basis in September, and we’ll be back to our normal business hours in October! Don't worry though! You can still call/text us at 435-261-2834 to get on the schedule for regular appts or if you have questions regarding your furry (or scaly) friend. 💕

For today, don’t forget to give your favorite feline some extra love—and get those vet visits on the calendar! 🐈💙

Wow...what a day! ❤️🐱

We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in and supported our very first feline spay/neuter clinic at Horse and Hound Alignment and Veterinary Care. We are incredibly grateful for your trust, your patience, and your support as we worked through a long but rewarding day.

📸 In the attached photo, you'll see our amazing surgery team. Right in the middle is Dr. "Kat" James, who absolutely crushed it in surgery—all while being 9 months pregnant! We are beyond thankful for her dedication and determination. Also pictured are our incredible veterinary assistants, Shia and Nikecia, who powered through a grueling 15-hour day with unwavering focus and compassion. A very special thank you also goes to Michelle and Reese, who generously volunteered their time and worked alongside us during the day to help make this clinic possible.

As this was our very first high-volume feline spay/neuter clinic, we learned a tremendous amount. We sincerely appreciate everyone's patience as the schedule ran behind. One of our biggest takeaways is the importance of building extra time into the schedule for unexpected surgical complications. While those situations slowed us down, we're happy to report that every cat did well and recovered safely! Every experience helps us improve, and we're already making changes to ensure future clinics run even more smoothly.

We do want to sincerely apologize for not adequately communicating that all cats would receive an ear tip during surgery. This was never an intentional omission, and we completely understand that seeing your pet with a tipped ear can be upsetting if you weren't expecting it. Moving forward, we will be updating our paperwork and discussing ear tipping with every client before surgery to make sure everyone is fully informed.

For those who may be unfamiliar, ear tipping is the universally recognized method of identifying a cat that has already been spayed or neutered. It allows veterinarians, shelters, and rescue organizations to quickly recognize that a cat has already had the procedure, helping prevent unnecessary anesthesia and surgery if the cat is ever found as a stray or enters a shelter in the future.

Thank you again to every pet owner, volunteer, and team member who helped make this clinic a success. We are proud of what we accomplished together, grateful for the lessons we learned, and excited to continue providing these much-needed services to our community. ❤️🐾

P.S. Keep an eye on our page for our next one! We are going to try to hold another feline spay/neuter clinic this fall after Dr. Kat returns from her maternity leave. We'll be taking everything we learned from this first clinic and using it to make the next one even better for our patients and their families. We can't wait to continue serving our community and helping even more cats receive the care they need. ❤️🐾

P.S. We are also excited to share that Dr. Kat will be welcoming a new baby to her family at the beginning of August! As a result, the clinic will be operating on extremely limited hours during August and September. We encourage clients to plan any upcoming routine appointments or surgeries for the month of July if possible to ensure we can get you seen before the little one makes an appearance. Normal clinic hours are expected to resume starting October. Thank you for your support and understanding as Dr. Kat and the practice navigate scheduling during this special time. We wouldn't be where we are without you! ❤️👶🐾

Hey friends! We were informed that this sweet kitty is missing. She is approximately 1 year old and went missing about 1130pm last night in the vicinity of 200 S. 100 E. Fillmore UT 84631. Her owner is missing her very much and has been scouring the neighborhoods around the area to try to find her.

If anyone has any information that may help reunite these two, please contact Lachelle Keele at: (435)253-1199

Fireworks season is coming soon, and while many people enjoy the celebrations, our dogs, cats and even some horses will often feel very differently about all the noise and chaos 🎆🐶

At Horse and Hound Alignment and Veterinary Care, we want to remind everyone that fear and anxiety during fireworks are extremely common in pets. Some dogs may pace, pant, shake, hide, vocalize, drool, try to escape, or even injure themselves when frightened.

A few ways you can help keep your pets safe and comfortable during fireworks season:

🐾 Make sure collars, tags, and microchip information are current in case a frightened pet escapes
🐾 Keep pets indoors before dark and provide a quiet, secure space to relax. Horses should be also placed in a secure area where they cannot harm themselves if they get spooked.
🐾 Close windows, curtains, and blinds to reduce noise and flashing lights
🐾 Use calming music, white noise, or fans to help mask outside sounds
🐾 Never bring fearful dogs to fireworks displays

For pets with more severe anxiety, anti-anxiety medications can make a huge difference in comfort and safety. These medications are not meant to fully “knock them out” but rather help reduce the panic and stress so pets can cope more comfortably during difficult situations.

These medications can also be helpful for many other stressful events, including:

✈️ Travel
🚗 Car rides
🩺 Veterinary visits
✂️ Grooming appointments
⛈️ Thunderstorms
🏠 Moving or household changes
👋 Separation anxiety

Every pet is different, and we are happy to discuss the safest and most appropriate options for your individual dog before fireworks season arrives.

If you think your pet may need support this year, now is the perfect time to plan ahead — don’t wait until the fireworks have already started! ❤️

🐾 LOW COST CAT SPAY & NEUTER CLINIC 🐾
Hosted by Horse and Hound Alignment and Veterinary Care

We are excited to offer a LOW COST spay and neuter clinic to help support responsible pet ownership in our community! ❤️

📅 July 11th, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Double Dollar Ranch (9431 N 400 W St), Holden, UT 84636. Parking will be available in front of the big blue barn.

💲 Pricing:
• Neuter: $50
• Spay: $75

✨ Includes a rabies vaccine with every surgery!

Additional services will also be available at highly discounted prices, including:
✔ Deworming
✔ Microchips
✔ Additional vaccines
✔ FeLV/FIV disease testing
…and more!

📌 RULES & REQUIREMENTS:
1️⃣ This event is ONLY for cats.
2️⃣ Each cat MUST be in a separate carrier — no doubling up due to safety concerns.
3️⃣ Limit of 3 cats per owner to keep things fair for everyone. If there are still spots open as we get closer, we may be able to adjust this.
4️⃣ Space is limited, so owners MUST be able to pick up their animals approximately 2–3 hours after drop-off.
5️⃣ A $50 deposit per animal will be required at drop-off.

❓FAQ: Why can’t we do this all the time?
We absolutely wish we could offer these prices every day! However, this clinic is only possible because Dr. Kat is donating her time and not getting paid for performing the surgeries. Veterinary surgical supplies, medications, anesthesia, and staffing are also very expensive. We received a very generous grant from Millard County that is going to help off-set these costs for us as well. Thank you Millard County!

Many 501(c)(3) spay/neuter clinics are able to offer lower-cost surgeries because they operate as nonprofits, receive grants and donations, and often have access to subsidized supplies, volunteer staff, and special funding dedicated specifically to reducing pet overpopulation. We are a privately-owned company and do not have access to most of these resources.

We are grateful for the opportunity to help make veterinary care more accessible while still maintaining safe, quality care for your pets. ❤️

As a small and growing business, Horse and Hound Alignment and Veterinary Care would like to ask for a small favor from our amazing clients and supporters ❤️

If we’ve cared for your animals, helped answer questions, adjusted your horse/small pet, worked cattle, or treated your dogs and cats, we would be incredibly grateful if you would consider leaving us a review on Facebook or Google.

Reviews truly make a huge difference for small businesses like ours. They help other animal owners find us, learn about the care we provide, and honestly… let people know we exist 😅 Every kind word, recommendation, and shared experience helps us continue to grow and serve more animals in our community.

We appreciate every single client who trusts us with their animals. Thank you for supporting a small local veterinary practice — we couldn’t do this without you all! 🐴🐄🐶🐱

Horse and Hound Alignment and Veterinary Care is back in full swing — Dr. Kat has officially returned from vacation and is now available for appointments again! 🐴🐄🐶 We hope everyone is surviving the early fire season, mystery weather, and the endless spring shedding. 😅

Spring is a busy time for keeping our animals healthy and ready for the warmer months ahead. This is your friendly reminder to check in on spring vaccines and wellness care for your crew:

🐴 Horses: Spring vaccines are important for protection against diseases like West Nile, Eastern/Western Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rabies, and Flu/Rhino depending on travel and exposure. It’s also a great time to discuss deworming and overall wellness.

🐄 Cattle: Spring processing often includes vaccines for respiratory and clostridial diseases, reproductive health management, and parasite control before pasture season gets fully underway.

🐶🐱 Small Animals: Check your dogs and cats records for any needed vaccine updates, heartworm prevention, flea/tick control, and wellness exams as your outdoor activity picks up.

We’re also excited to share that we are planning a LOW-COST feral cat spay/neuter clinic in July! 🐾 We've received a generous grant from Millard County to help off-set some expenses, and we want to give back to our generous community by helping reduce the stray and feral cat population in a safe and humane way. More details, dates, and sign-up information will be coming soon — so stay tuned!

We’re happy to be back and look forward to seeing all of you and your animals soon! ❤️

As a reminder, we are open W-F from 9am-4pm for large, exotic and small animal appts. The BEST way to make an appt is to text us at: 435-261-2834. We can also receive phone calls to this number, or you can email us at: [email protected].

Appointments can still be scheduled via text (435-261-2834) today and tomorrow if you’d like to get on the books before she leaves.
