Vet access challenges in Texas
Extreme summer heat
Texas records 50–100 days above 100°F annually depending on region, making car transport dangerous.
Metro appointment backlogs
Houston, Dallas, and Austin practices face severe demand with multi-week wait times.
Hurricane disruptions
Gulf Coast storms close clinics and force evacuations from Beaumont to Corpus Christi.
Ranch schedule conflicts
Cattle and oil operations across Texas demand labor during standard clinic hours.
