For over 25 years Dr. Garner and Safari have been providing quality pet health care for the League City and surrounding areas. I am happy to share with you how veterinary medical science is exploding with new concepts that may allow your pets to live a longer healthier happier life.

As you may know, for the past few years I have been traveling in Europe, Australia, Japan and all over America, teaching and lecturing in veterinary practice management and training thousands of clinics how to use the Safari system and our software. I have found there are huge differences in veterinary practice round the world – different pets, different diseases and different treatments. But some things remain the same. Everywhere pet parents want the best for their loved ones and expect their veterinarians to care as much about the wellbeing of their pet as they do.

Here at Safari we have always been committed to providing excellent veterinary care. The major difference between Safari and most other practices is that our aim is not simply to carry out treatments on sick pets. But, to provide you with the knowledge and information you need to have a full understanding of our wellness recommendations and the disease processes, so you can make informed decisions about the best way to keep your pet healthy and extend the precious time you have together.

When your pet is ill, we use the latest technology to diagnose before we treat. Here at Safari we understand that it is as important to be able to communicate the value of this diagnosis to you, therefore, every Wednesday morning we close the practice to train all Safari team members in a wide range of topics that include all aspects of wellness and common illnesses. It is this investment in our health care team that allows us to practice veterinary medicine the way it should be. At some time in the near future we would like to open up classes to clients who want to learn more about pet health care.

No matter how widely I have traveled, it is good to be back home and know that America still leads the world in veterinary medicine. I want to share with you some new products that make me excited to be practicing full-time again.

• With a simple blood test, the Wisdom Panel unravels the genetic code to reveal the pedigree mix that gives your mutt its unique character.
• Hate having your temperature taken? The latest Home Again microchips allow us to take a body temperature with out even touching your pet! I personally know a few pets that would appreciate that!
• Ever wish you could lose weight by just taking a pill? Now your pet can! Slentrol blocks the fat absorption while telling the brain it was not hungry after all!
• Covenia removes the need to take pills twice a day in order to control most skin infections. A single injection provides cover for 14 days and a course of 2 injections provide a 100% cure rate in staph infections.
• Sick of motion sickness? Cerenia acts on the vomit center of the brain to calm the stomach and prevent vomiting and travel related discomfort.
• Cardiac patients will be heartened to hear about VetMedin which has been proven to not only improve the quality of life as well as extend the quantity of life for dogs with heart disease.
• Good news for cats, Profender kills roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms without the need for a single pill. It comes in an easy to apply spot-on solution.

There are also new anti-anxiety medications for dogs, new arthritic medications and new flea preventions. I am happy to say that Heartguard is back by popular demand and ProHeart the 6 month heart worm prevention injection has a new FDA approval.

Much has changed at Safari and within the profession while I have been traveling, but not everything. We have remodeled our Pet Shop and increased our retail inventory. Plus we continue to provide quality grooming and boarding. I am still the only Board Certified dog and cat specialist in the Clear Lake, Galveston area and you are the friendliest, most compassionate pet parents anywhere in the world. Please consider scheduling a wellness appointment for your pet, so we can make sure your pet has a long, healthy, happy life.
