Wellness Exams
Annual wellness exams at Hill Country Veterinary Hospital ensure early detection of health issues through comprehensive physical evaluations. These checkups establish baseline health metrics and familiarize pets with the clinic environment, reducing stress during future visits. Our veterinarians tailor recommendations for diet, exercise, and preventive treatments based on individual pet needs, promoting long-term wellness and strengthening the human-animal bond through proactive care.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations protect pets from contagious diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus, forming a cornerstone of preventive healthcare. Our veterinarians customize vaccine schedules based on age, lifestyle, and regional risks, ensuring compliance with local regulations. By maintaining herd immunity and preventing outbreaks, we safeguard both individual pets and the broader animal community while providing clients with expert guidance on vaccine safety and efficacy.
Dental Care
Professional dental cleanings and oral exams address periodontal disease, which affects 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years old. Our services include ultrasonic scaling, polishing, and extractions when necessary, performed under anesthesia for patient safety. Educating owners on home care techniques like brushing and dental diets complements our clinical treatments, preventing systemic health complications linked to poor oral hygiene in pets.
Fear Free Visits
Fear Free methodology trains staff to recognize and alleviate pet anxiety through pheromone diffusers, calming music, and gentle handling techniques. Pre-visit medications and positive reinforcement with treats create positive associations with veterinary visits. This approach improves diagnostic accuracy by reducing stress-induced physiological changes while enhancing safety for pets, clients, and staff during examinations and treatments.
End of Life Care
Compassionate end-of-life services include pain management, quality-of-life assessments, and at-home euthanasia options through Lap of Love partnerships. We provide senior pet wellness exams every six months to monitor age-related conditions like arthritis and kidney disease. Our team offers grief counseling resources and memorialization options, supporting clients through the emotional process of saying goodbye to their cherished animal companions.

I've been taking my dogs here for years. Their staff is wonderful. I've had to have them help 2 of our furbabies cross the bridge. Their compassion is so appreciated at such a heart breaking time.

My girl, Luna, had chronic ear infections since February 2020. We knew she had a mass. I had it biopsied: benign. Multiple treatments, anti fungals, antibiotics, food changes, labs and a surgical consult (they said $10,000 for imaging and a total ear canal ablation). Dr. Homburg was my 3rd opinion about 3 months ago. She removed the mass and stalk with a little sedation: $600. No complications and finally infection free!!! My sweet Luna feels so much better!! Highly recommend hill country vet. Dr. Homburg is down to earth, skilled, honest she is THE BEST vet. Thank you!!!!!

Every time Ive taken my dog in, they seem to find as many ways to boost the bill as possible. They recommend preventatives and treatments that are nice but not critical. I repeatedly ask about cost and get vague answers. Then when its time to check out, the bill is twice what was expected. This last time I asked for an estimate and the staff Lauren said it would be $150 max. When I checked out the total was almost $400. When I asked to return the preventatives she turned from very friendly to very grumpy. After being a customer for over a year I decided were better off finding a nicer

Erin and her team came to the rescue when my dog suddenly started having seizures. I was in a panic, but Erin was incredible in walking me through options and establishing an immediate plan of action. The team was so accommodating and got me into an early appointment. They acted with an extreme sense of urgency and helped put my worries at ease. My dog is doing very well a month and a half later and I am thankful to this team as they treat my animals as if they were their own.
