Tara Animal HospitalTara Animal Hospital - Colleyville, Texas
Harry recently visited Tara Animal Hospital for cold laser therapy, a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce pain and inflammation in dogs like him. While he tolerated the belly squeezes from Dr. Sims, it was pretty clear he had a strong preference for the brain lasers. At Tara, every patient is treated with the same level of care and attention, because compassionate care is at the heart of everything they do.

After a harrowing 19 days missing from a family member’s home, Oliver was finally reunited with his loved ones and brought straight to Salty Paws Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Dirmeyer and Dr. Blessing quickly assessed him and discovered an injury to his tail, likely caused by a bite or other trauma during his time away. Thanks to the swift action of his family and the compassionate care of the medical team, Oliver is now on the mend.
