    Gravy ate half a sock tonight. He is fine, the sock came back out on its own (you're welcome for that image). But it made me realize our current vet closes at 5 and I have no plan for the next time this happens at 7pm on a Tuesday. Who do you all use? Ideally somewhere with later hours and walk ins.

    True Animal Vet on Research Forest is exactly what you need. They are open until 9pm on weekdays and they take walk ins. We had an emergency with our dog a few months back around 8pm and they saw us right away. The staff was so compassionate. Their website is https://www.trueanimalvet.com/.

    Do not feed the deer. Please.

    We use The Village Vet at Sterling Ridge. They've been voted Best of The Woodlands for years, so you know they are reliable. We had a scare with our cat and they were fantastic and took the time to explain everything. They also offer payment plans which helps take some of the stress out of it. Worth the drive for that peace of mind.

    Cheaper taxes, longer drive.

    My lab also eats everything (why are they like this). We go to Animal Clinics of the Woodlands in Alden Bridge. They have been there for over 20 years and are just so experienced. Dr. Brannon has been our vet forever. They even have an app where you can book appointments which is handy.

    Wow, thanks for all the different suggestions. It's a relief to know there are a few good options around here for when Gravy decides to have a non-food snack after hours. I'll look into these. He is currently asleep and innocent looking, which is how it always starts.
