Welcome to the Heights Veterinary Clinic website!

We at Heights Veterinary Clinic strive to provide the best possible value in quality medicine to our clients and their pets through state-of-the-art surgical, diagnostic, and medical technology. By forging a relationship with both pet and owner, we thrive on providing compassionate, lifelong care that suits the real wants and needs of today's families.

Our experienced doctors and staff understand that pets are important members of the family. We promote a healthy lifestyle through proper diet, preventative medicine, and behavioral awareness. All conditions, life cycles and stages are fully evaluated before any recommendations are made.

To better serve pets and their families, we recently added an 1,800 square foot medical facility. This new addition was designed to enhance diagnostic, surgical, radiographic, and dental capabilities and was named in honor of Dr. Kenton R. Fickes for his legacy of improving veterinary medicine in Houston.

CANINE INFLUENZA OUTBREAK IN SAN ANTONIO:

There has been a confirmed outbreak of canine influenza in San Antonio. Canine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease in dogs.

We currently have a limited supply of this vaccine to protect your dogs. Before this outbreak reaches the Houston area, you may want to have your dogs vaccinated for their protection .

HUNTERS-  As the hunting season approaches, is your canine hunting companion up to date on all vaccinations?  Rabies is still a problem in certain areas of rural Texas.  Distemper is harbored by coyotes, feral dogs, and other critters.  Water in tanks or streams could be polluted with leptospirosis and other organisms harmful to dogs.  We recommend every dog be current on vaccinations against these diseases as well as considering protection against rattlesnake bites and Lyme Disease.  Call us if you have questions about how to protect your canine hunting partner.

TICKS-  Many people are experiencing the unpleasant discovery that their dogs have ticks.  Ticks are difficult to control and eradicate.  In addition to being disgusting, ticks serve as transmitters of disease both to dogs and humans.  We have all heard about the danger of ticks transmitting Lyme Disease to dogs and humans, but there are several more diseases that are transmitted, likewise.  We have the latest product available for tick control on dogs - Certifect by Merial.  In addition to ticks this product also helps to control fleas.  It is a topical and is effective for up to 30 days.  Call us to ask about it.
