Richter Animal Hospital

We provide thorough Comprehensive Physical Exams for all pets, including checks of vital signs, body condition, skin health, eyes, ears, and any lumps or abnormalities. Our veterinarians take a holistic approach to care, assessing your pet’s wellness and discussing personalized recommendations for nutrition, supplements, and ongoing health monitoring tailored to their age, weight, and medical history.

We administer Core Vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo (for canines) as standard preventive care for your pet’s safety. For felines, we follow guidelines for FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) and Rabies vaccination. Vaccination recommendations are personalized based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and risk factors to ensure optimal protection.

As heartworm disease is prevalent in Texas, we offer annual Heartworm Testing for all dogs, along with year-round prevention options. Our clinic provides injectable and oral medications for protection against this potentially fatal disease. Cats may also benefit from heartworm prevention, though they are at lower risk due to their smaller blood volume.

Given Texas’s warm climate, we emphasize Flea & Tick Prevention year-round to protect your pets from flea infestations, tick-borne diseases, and secondary allergies. Our team will discuss tailored preventative solutions—includings oral tablets, topical treatments, and collars—to suit your pet’s lifestyle and ensure year-long safeguarding.

As part of our wellness exams, we provide Nutritional Counseling & Weight Management advice tailored to your pet’s life stage (e.g., puppy, senior) and health status. We work with you to create feeding plans, identify appropriate food formulations, and address weight concerns through dietary modifications and exercise recommendations.

At every wellness exam, we recommend Parasite Deworming (Intestinal) to screen and treat intestinal parasites like roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and Giardia with fecal testing. Deworming is critical for preventing zoonotic diseases (which can be transmitted to humans) and maintaining your pet’s gastrointestinal health. Annual testing is strongly encouraged, even for pets on preventive medication.

Though details are not elaborate on the website, our service page confirms the provision of Behavioral Counseling for training concerns in a testimonial highlighting a trainer (Krystal) affiliated with the clinic. We address anxiety, aggression, and excessive barking through individualized plans and, when possible, on-site or referral-based recommendations.

We conduct In-House Bloodwork, including Complete Blood Counts (CBC) and Chemistry Panels, to screen for anemia, organ dysfunction (kidney/liver disease), blood sugar abnormalities, and more. Routine bloodwork helps us detect early signs of health issues and establish important benchmarks for ongoing care, ensuring proactive management of your pet’s well-being.

As part of our wellness care, we provide Fecal Testing to identify intestinal parasites (e.g., hookworms, giardia) and address zoonotic risks. This testing typically accompanies wellness exams and is a proactive step in maintaining your pet’s digestive health. We partner with you to educate on proper sample collection and discuss findings upon results.

We emphasize At-Home Dental Care Education, teaching pet owners proper brushing techniques, dental treats selection, and dietary adjustments to improve oral hygiene. Our veterinarians recommend home care regimens during wellness exams, including recommendations for enzymatic toothpaste and dental toys.

For urgent cases or emergencies within our business hours, we offer Emergency Stabilization—including IV fluids, medication administration, and diagnostics—to identify underlying issues promptly. Our team communicates clearly with clients about findings and recommended care during these critical visits, often providing same-day or expedited scheduling.

Our clinic provides Hospitalization & 24-Hour Monitoring for patients requiring extended care, such as postoperative recovery, chronic illness management, or complex treatments. A dedicated team monitors vitals, medication schedules, and any changes in condition, ensuring your pet’s comfort and safety under continuous supervision.

We administer IV Fluid Therapy to address dehydration, organ support, and systemic illnesses like kidney disease. Fluids help replace electrolytes, maintain blood pressure, and stabilize patients during crises. Our team uses this modality during both emergency and elective procedures when indicated by veterinary assessments.

Our team offers custom Pain Management plans for surgical patients and those suffering from chronic conditions. Methods range from oral medications and injections to cold laser therapy and acupuncture. We prioritize minimizing pain and discomfort through detailed post-procedure instructions and follow-up consultations.

We provide medical grooming services such as Sanitary Shave for surgical prep or matted fur relief, Anal Gland Expression for painful obstructions, and Medicated Baths for skin allergies or dermatitis. Services are tailored to address specific skin and comfort issues, always in conjunction with your pet’s treatment plan.

A component of our Medical Grooming and wellness care services, Anal Gland Expression is performed to relieve impactions causing discomfort or anal sac infections. This service addresses a common canine issue during regular check-ups or as needed.

We provide Acupuncture as part of our integrative medicine approach. This service is ideal for chronic pain management, arthritis, and certain neurological conditions. Sessions are tailored to alleviate discomfort using needle therapy and complementary techniques.

As part of our holistic pain management, we integrate Cold Laser Therapy for conditions such as osteoarthritis and tissue repair. The therapy promotes healing by stimulating cellular activity without surgery or invasive methods.

Based on the clinic’s mention of specialized services and rehabilitative focus in testimonials, we offer Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation to address injuries, post-surgical recovery, and arthritis. Therapy often includes custom exercise plans, hydrotherapy, and massage care at The Royal Pet Resort & Spa.

Our facility provides Standard Pet Boarding at The Royal Pet Resort & Spa, offering a comfortable, supervised environment during your absence. Our team caters to pets’ needs with climate-controlled spaces, individual attention, and feeding schedules.

Our Doggie Daycare offers a fun, social setting for dogs to engage in supervised play under professional care. Services include mental stimulation, small group activities, and a safe, clean facility designed to accommodate active pets.

For senior or terminally ill pets, we facilitate Quality of Life Assessments with our compassionate care team. This involves evaluating pain levels, mobility, and overall well-being to guide discussions about end-of-life decisions, palliative care, and humane euthanasia options. We prioritize support for owners during these difficult periods.
