Overview
Our full-service animal hospital is run by Dr. Laura Searle-Barnes, a skilled veterinarian with years of experience. We offer routine wellness care, pet dental care, urgent care, and emergency pet care services to pet owners in Canyon Lake and the surrounding communities. We believe in providing conscientious veterinary services at affordable prices
Our journey began in a small village near London, where Laura dreamt of becoming a veterinarian. After graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2006, she worked with the PDSA. In 2008, she moved to the U.S. and in 2018 took over Not Just 4 Paws from Dr. Zimmer. Since then, we've expanded from a one-doctor to a four-doctor practice and are building a second location
Mission — We prioritize building genuine relationships with you and your pets. You’ll see the same veterinarian each visit, which means you’ll get personalized care
