Horses, Cattle & Other Large Animals

For farms with small to large herds, we understand the importance of having a local, experienced large-animal veterinarian close by. The veterinarians at Town & Country Animal Hospital are able to perform a range of veterinary services onsite as well as within our modern haul-in facility. Town & Country Animal Hospital is pleased to offer both of these quality service options to our large animal clients.

Both Dr. Strittmatter and Dr. Black have extensive experience with large animals. We regularly treat horses, cattle, goats, and sheep, with the occasional buffalo, alpaca, llama, camel and donkey.

When an animal is too ill or injured for transport, we can come to your farm with our mobile vet truck. In cases where an animal requires surgery, hoof care, treatment, or breeding soundness, we feel the interests of our clients and their animals are best served by bringing them to our haul-in facility. Our modern cattle treatment facility is equipped with a tilting hydraulic chute that is safe for humans and allows the animal to undergo evaluation and treatment with minimal stress.

Town and Country is the best. We were new to Texas and they treated my dog in his last month and were extremely professional and sweet. After his passing, I received a handwritten card signed by the entire staff and it truly touched me. They do an excellent job with their animal care.

Lauren Kimbro, Dog Owner

Everyone who works here has been very nice and pleasant to us, and we’ve appreciated the good care we got for our animals. I’ve seen Dr. Strittmatter work with my dad’s cattle and Dr. Black has helped us with our dog and cat.

Dr. Black explained everything and let me be involved with choices and decisions and never pushed anything, which I really appreciate. I can happily recommend Town and Country Animal Hospital!

Sarah Waite, Dog & Cat Owner
This place is awesome!! Kind, caring, compassionate. From the initial phone call throughout the whole process we had a great experience. My cat was at ease and was such a good boy.

Dr. Stritmatter was wonderful. I highly recommend. Vet techs and receptionist were wonderful as well. Thank you all.

Heather Huber, Cat Owner

“We love Town & Country Animal Hospital! It’s 100% worth the trip! Dr. Black and the whole team are outstanding at what they do, and I wouldn’t trust our beloved dogs (and chickens) to anyone else. Highly recommend.”

Darby McFall, Dog Owner
