Community Involvement

Our 4th Year Veterinary Student Extern, Mercedes Smith, from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine assisting with a leopard gecko. 

Recently, BEEVET Animal Hospital met with Girl Scout troop 43114 to help them achieve their Animal Helper Badge! To earn the Animal Helpers Badge, the Girl Scouts must explore the connection between humans and animals, find out how animals help keep people safe, know how animals help people emotionally, check out how animals help people with disabilities, and look at how animals might help us in the future. One of our spectacular veterinarians, Dr. Catherine Caprio, led the discussion and activities to explore these issues, with a little help from her dog, Zola, and our resident African Grey Parrot, Potter!

Our team is committed to serving our neighbors through learning events like this one with Troop 43114 because as a locally-owned, small business, we understand the importance of giving back to our community. If you are interested in one of our learning programs, please call our office at (512) 263-9292, or shoot us an email at info@mybeevet.com today!

After ten years of living in a home, Punch was owner surrendered because of a leg issue. Unsure of what originally caused his injury, Punch was examined by several vets including a specialist. They concluded that his leg lost range of motion and was painful due to a suspected trauma.

Fortunately, BEEVET Animal Hospital was able to perform the amputation surgery for Punch and he is now recovered and doing well in his foster home. His coat has thickened and grown in, he has gained weight and he is an all around happy pup enjoying his senior years.

BEEVET Animal Hospital provides quality healthcare and exceptional customer service by building and maintaining relationships using our core values of trust, respect, and communication. One of the many ways we maintain relationships is by giving back to the community through our Christina Ho Good Samaritan Fund.

Christina Ho was Dr. Chow’s aunt who passed away in 2011 from lymphoma of the brain. Unable to have children, part of her legacy was invested in what is now BEEVET Animal Hospital. Christina loved animals, and we have created a fund in her honor to provide cost-prohibitive veterinary care to those pets with curable illnesses who need it the most. If you would like to donate to our fund, you can make a direct donation during your visit or online through GoFundMe.com.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Dr. Jackie Chow
