We strive to provide high quality, professional, and loving care and are proud to have been an AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) accredited hospital since 2001. AAHA helps practice owners meet the goal of excellent patient care by providing and regulating standards of quality veterinary medicine, facility maintenance, and client service.
The doctors and staff at Tara Animal Hospital make continuing education a priority, and regularly attend seminars in internal medicine, neurology, and dermatology. The doctors are also members of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Tarrant County Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Animal Hospital Association.
Our veterinarians offer preventive care, wellness exams and services for kittens, puppies, cats, and dogs. Preventive care and nutritional recommendations for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs and other small pets. Dental care is an essential part of your pet's overall health to prevent dental disease and tooth loss.
Our small animal veterinarians in Colleyville provide care for various pocket pets and nontraditional pets including guinea pigs, mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, hedgehogs, and rabbits. Whether you want to discuss how you can create a comfortable habitat for your pets or you have questions about what to feed them, we're here to help.
Pets can struggle with dermatological issues the same way people can. It's common for the issues to cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms that range from minor itching and discomfort to outright pain. We can diagnose and treat numerous skin conditions including allergies, autoimmune conditions, dermatitis, infections, hormonal disorders, parasites, tumors, and skin cancer.

Have taken all my pets to Tara since moving to the Mid-Cities 4 years ago. They are always so thorough, responsive and professional. I know my fur babies are in good hands with them.

We are recently new to the area and when looking for a good vet, some friends recommended Tara. I’m so glad we came— we have been very pleased with Dr. Schoonover who has now seen both of our beloved pups and we can tell she is very thorough, good with animals, and friendly. She took the time to answer all of our questions! I also liked how she wanted to divide up the vaccines that our youngest dog was due for, rather than giving them all at once, (and of course they didn’t charge us an office visit for bringing her back in for those last shots). We received a welcome card and little dog

I am fostering a dog who suddenly became violently ill. We called several places, including our personal vet, and this was the only clinic that would take him in on very short notice. Everyone on the staff was so friendly, understanding, and accommodating. I was panicked, but they handled everything amazingly and I am so glad they were the ones who could help him get better. I would highly, highly recommend Tara Animal Hospital.

I've been going to Tara for over 20 years and wouldn't take my dogs anyplace else. I moved and it's now a 45 minute drive, and worth every minute. I ❤ these ladies! They have cured, diagnosed, laughed and cried with me. They are very special.

We have trusted Tara Animal Hospital with all of our pets since 1988. We have had only great experiences with not only the knowledge and services from them, but also their readily apparent caring for the animals they treat. They will spend the time to diagnose effectively, explain clearly and treat expertly. We have experience with each the four doctors currently part of Tara, and have consistent praise for them all. We have found all of the office staff and technicians to be helpful and friendly even as Covid-19 continues to stretch their capabilities and procedures.

Been going to Tara for most pets throughout my life! Parents took them here, and naturally the trust builds and you take your own pets later in life based on that! :)
Shout out to Beth (admin) for dealing with us pet owner worry worts. She is so great at talking with people and getting you scheduled. She talks to you like family!
Sadly, as our fur babies have gotten older they have done a great job to help ease quality of life till its time. That really meant a lot as its hard to make that call. They stay kind and patient and I can’t say how much that means to us.
Thank you Doctors, Staff

We took our German Wire Haired Pointer as a new patient. Dr Sims came and spoke with us to introduce her self which was very nice. Very professional and made us feel super comfortable. There are many things to look for when choosing a vet for you pet....for us it all starts with profesionalisim which gives you confidence. This we have with Tara Animal Hospital.

I have had such wonderful experiences with everyone at Tara Animal Hospital! The front desk ladies are so nice, helpful and welcoming. The vet techs are patient, caring and follow up to make sure your pet is doing fine. The doctors Wood and Read are very informative, they answer any question I have and go above and beyond in their care for my babies! I’ve gone to Tara only a few times due to me temporarily living in the area but each experience has been joyful. I have called asking many questions from time to time and Jo and the others have been a real treat to speak with and are very informative
