Wellness Exams
Our comprehensive wellness exams detect early health issues through nose-to-tail assessments tailored to your pet's age and lifestyle. We recommend bi-annual checkups for adult pets and quarterly visits for seniors to maintain optimal health. Our veterinarians create personalized prevention plans based on exam findings, including vaccination schedules and parasite control.
Surgical Procedures
We perform routine and advanced surgeries using modern anesthetic protocols and monitoring equipment. Our services include spays/neuters, mass removals, orthopedic repairs, and dental surgeries. Patients receive pre-operative assessments and post-operative care instructions to ensure safe recovery. Emergency surgical interventions are available during business hours.
Emergency Care
Our team provides immediate care for critical conditions like trauma, poisoning, and breathing difficulties during operating hours. We handle emergencies requiring diagnostics, stabilization, and hospitalization. For after-hours crises, we partner with Flower Mound Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center to ensure continuous care for your pet.
Pet Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding facility offers separate spaces for cats and dogs with regular exercise and personalized attention. Boarding includes veterinary oversight for medical needs and medication administration. Pets must have up-to-date vaccinations, with two-week lead time recommended before stays to complete required immunizations.

Recently moved to the area and needed a new veterinarian. Came across Animal Medical Center of Highland Village and boy was I impressed. The staff was incredibly friendly and the vet was very patient and informative. Prescribed the right medication for my dog's digestive issues and voila, my dog was better in a few days. Very happy with our new vet!

The doc saw us on time and everyone was friendly and happy. My pup was taken care of splendidly. I was a bit disappointed that only my dog got the treats. I was hungry too. A+++

I recently had a visit at this vet. I was very concerned with the level of care my animal received. I asked for a paper script. The vet had resisted and kept using the term convenience as an excuse of why she didn't need to give me a script. Then I followed up ( a week later) and told them that I felt that my dog didn't get the full dosage of the medicine, because she was resistant to receiving the medication.
The staff kept insisting that I bring my dog in for additional testing and repeat the same testing we just completed. I realized that this clinic is very money focused. I took my dog to a different vet, who understood the situation. They gave me the paper scripts I asked for. They also were able to determine the real cause for my dog's illness. So if you do not want to be respected and seen as a number; then by all means go to this establishment.
Also I have concerns with the level of care they offer their patients and their patient's owners. The only reason I am giving them an additional star, is due to the friendliness of the front desk staff. They are very kind and considerate. My advice is to stay away from this place.

I've used animal medical for many years. They have taken care of 4 dogs for me which includes our new puppy. From front desk to techs in treatment areas to Dr Straugh & Dr McCullough their care & caring is the best. Even the very sad time of having to say goodbye to a beloved member of your family, they excel. I trust them to give my fur babies excellent care delivered with kindness both for pet & people.
