Mini Vet Express is your go-to clinic for routine pet healthcare at affordable prices. Dr. Allen and the caring staff provide exams, vaccines, microchipping, annual blood work, allergy shots, and heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. They focus on preventative care and minor illnesses, and when more comprehensive treatment is needed, they partner with primary care veterinarians to ensure seamless continuity of care.
​​​​
Think of Mini Vet Express as a “minute clinic” for pets—not urgent care, but a convenient place for preventative services and minor issues without long waits. It’s the perfect option for annual tests, vaccinations, or when your regular vet is unavailable. I took Eddie in for nail trim and had Dr. Allen check out his back. She noticed Eddie was burping, and I mentioned how he threw up that morning and every once in a while, and it's just bile. She thought he might have a little gastric upset and recommended he get put on some Pepcid. The Pepcid worked and he's a lot better without the morning vomiting.
​
They also host Weekend Low-Cost Vaccine Clinics in their parking lot—check their website or the pet-friendly calendar for upcoming dates!
​
My Buddy’s Pet Resort provides a comfortable, amenity-filled stay for both dogs and cats, with caring, attentive staff. Each guest enjoys a private run—dogs have climate-controlled indoor suites with doggie doors leading to spacious 4.5 ft x 30 ft kennel runs, featuring cooled floors in summer and heated floors in winter. It's like the human equivalent having a private balcony, but even bigger for dogs! They have a backup generator in case of an outage.
​
Pets can play in outdoor playgrounds, swim in pools, and relax knowing they’re safe and well cared for. Voted Best of Hays 2024 by the San Marcos Daily Record, My Buddy’s Pet Resort, it's no wonder they're a trusted boarding facility in the area.

If you’re looking for dog training or boarding for a pup who hasn’t had luck at other facilities, check out Wag-A-Holics in Seguin. Their philosophy is simple: it’s never too early or too late to teach your dog new behaviors. Every service is personalized to meet your dog’s needs, with the goal of creating long-lasting, positive change through expert training.
​
Owner Pedro has been in the dog-training industry since 2017 and launched Wag-A-Holics in 2021. He built a safe and welcoming space for dogs that may not thrive in traditional boarding environments—those with behavioral challenges, breed restrictions, or special care needs.
​
Wag-A-Holics offers an Early Learners Program, Private Beginner Lessons, and Board-and-Train Packages—a fully immersive program designed to deliver real results. All dogs are accepted for boarding, including those who are anxious or reactive.
The facility operates by appointment only to maintain a calm and secure environment. The front door remains locked, and security cameras are in place to ensure safety for both pets and people. Staff are on-site until 8 p.m. When I visited, I loved that extra layer of safety—it helps protect visitors while keeping every dog comfortable and secure.

Pets remain calm and relaxed, even with the bustle of dryers, thanks to the staff’s gentle approach and special connection with animals.

​
I ordered the Nature's Select Plus for Eddie since it's for seniors and overweight dogs. It has less calories, but is still nutritious. He likes the flavor and gobbled it up. I read over the ingredients and approved. It's holistic and full of good ingredients. Chicken meal is used because it has 30% more protein. I'm keeping him on both Nature's Select and Lotus since it's small bites since he has one upper molar.

With years of experience as a professional chef and an education background in food science, Chef Bon turned her culinary skills toward a new passion—creating fresh, nutritious meals for dogs. What began as a way to help her own pup’s digestive and skin and coat health has grown into Meal Pups, a brand dedicated to wholesome, delicious dog food made from real, human-grade ingredients.
​
Meals are vacuum-sealed for freshness and can be kept in the fridge or freezer for weeks—plus they’re very reasonably priced and last a long time, especially as a topper for small dogs.
You can find Meal Pups at local pet-friendly events or order for pick-up or delivery for fee of $5-$15 through their website and social pages.
​
Why We Love It:
• Fresh ingredients like sirloin beef, chicken, spinach, blueberries, eggs, sweet potato, flax seed, broccoli, green beans
• Affordable and long-lasting portions
• Great for digestion, skin, and coat health
• Chef-made with care and science-backed nutrition
​
Eddie’s Review:
I bought Eddie the Chicken Blueberry Meatballs and Beefy Green Machine. I add half a meatball or a spoonful of the green machine to his kibble as a topper, and he devours every bite! Since introducing Meal Pups, Eddie’s digestion has improved dramatically—his poops have been perfectly healthy and regular. He had just finished treatment for stomach acid, so I was happy to find a fresh food topper to keep his stomach happy!

Carolyn’s Mobile Cat Grooming has been proudly serving New Braunfels and the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin since 2007. Carolyn has dedicated her life to feline care — with a veterinary technician background and a passion for cat wellness, she recognized the need for a grooming experience that could be done right at home, creating a calm and stress-free environment without the need for sedation.
Her team — Carolyn, Roy, and Blair — are experienced stylists and devoted cat parents who believe in low-stress, compassionate grooming tailored to each cat’s needs. Every team member truly loves cats and could talk all day about feline health, comfort, and happiness!
​
On her website, Carolyn shares helpful grooming tips and her favorite feline-safe products. I even referred a friend with two Persians and a senior tuxedo cat to her resources — when she mentioned one of her cats struggles with recurring eye issues, I recommended Eye Envy from Carolyn’s favorite product list.
​
If you’re a cat parent looking for gentle, in-home grooming from professionals who truly understand and love cats, Carolyn’s Mobile Cat Grooming is a wonderful choice.

Presley’s Pawstries creates homemade, human-grade dog cake and treats, which are made with three simple ingredients or fewer. All recipes use clean, wholesome ingredients that are far healthier than most store-bought options. Owner Ashley started the business to give pet parents better choices—especially after seeing how many commercial treats rely on yogurt chips (which are sugar and oil and can easily cause stomach upset in dogs).
​
Presley’s Pawstries offers both bagged treats that can be mailed anywhere and custom cake orders and cookie boxes for local delivery or meetup. The custom cookie boxes can be created for birthdays, gotcha-days, holidays, and other celebrations, along with themed treat sets and beautifully decorated pup cakes.
Orders can be placed by calling or messaging her on Instagram or Facebook, and you can often find Presley’s Pawstries at local markets and community events.
​
Ashley has always had a passion for animals. After many years working as a veterinary technician, she shifted her focus to creating high-quality treats that support dogs’ health and happiness. The business is lovingly named after her goldendoodle, Presley, who inspired it all.
​
Eddie and I discovered Presley’s Pawstries at Barktoberfest in Seguin and picked up the Peanut Pup Butter bone cookies. Eddie LOVES them—they’re the perfect size for him, and easy to break in half when I want to limit treats or help him chew with his limited teeth. On days he’s picky with his kibble, I crumble a Peanut Pup Butter cookie on top and he licks the bowl clean.
