Pet Care

The Stevenson Center is a long-term pet care facility that ensures each resident receives the proper attention and care they need to be happy and healthy. We are dedicated to providing care for each resident’s emotional, medical, and physical needs.

Emotional

The relaxed design of the center ensures that our residents feel at home; this design purposefully acknowledges the emotional and territorial needs of different kinds of pets. The animals have the freedom to roam and explore at will while also having space for themselves during quiet times. There are nine separate yard areas for the dogs to get plenty of sunshine and exercise. Cats can come in and out of their rooms through upper windows in the doors that were intentionally created to ensure canine residents do not have access.

Chen, a canine, long-term pet resident of the Stevenson Center enjoys outside time with veterinary student residents.

Medical

Medical care for the residents includes regular physical examinations and laboratory tests. Stevenson Center employees also develop a personal “wellness program” for each animal based on careful observation of their needs. When our residents need medical attention, their care is provided by the nearby Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences’ Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Their knowledge of the latest advances in veterinary medicine, combined with the use of our specialized facilities, ensures the best possible care for our residents.

Physical

Residents receive daily exercise in large fenced areas. We provide plenty of toys for residents to play with, just like they would have in your home, including frisbees, rope tugs, balls, and other toys to entertain our dog residents. All resident pets receive regularly scheduled bathing and grooming. Nutritional concerns are also monitored, and special diets are developed for residents with special needs.
