When Bob Cook, a salesman at Classic Chevrolet Sugar Land needed major dental work, the first place he went quoted prices that were “embarrassingly high.” He says, “Luckily, I met Dr. Thomas Lomonte at the Annual Classic Chevrolet Sugar Land Chili Cookoff. I told him my situation and he invited me to come by his office. Together we drew up a plan to get everything done within my budget. He made the whole process so easy!”

“When I was diagnosed with cellulitis in my left leg,” says Kyle O’Reilly, “it destroyed the capillaries that normally return blood from the bottom to the top of my leg. My calf and especially my ankle were affected with swelling and painful varicose veins. Since I was on a blood thinner those varicose veins were also dangerous. One popped and started bleeding, so my doctor referred me to local Vascular Surgeon, Ulises Baltazar MD, RVT, FACS.”

We carry high-quality options at a variety of price points, including familiar brands like Blue Buffalo and Acana. Often we’ve personally met the people behind the dog foods we carry. Wild Calling is by a father and son team out of Colorado, Merrick is Texas-based, and Fromm is a fifth generation family business. Primal (the raw food I feed my own dogs) is 100 percent grain and gluten free with antibiotic-free meats, organic fruits and vegetables for perfectly balanced nutrition. Come in and we’ll help you find the best fit for your best friend!”

“The best part was when Dr. Sanchez complimented Niyah on taking such good care of her teeth and gave her a ‘good exam’ certificate. Niyah asked me if she could take it into school to show her teacher, because she was so proud. The dental team also took her picture, gave her a balloon and a goody bag, and made her feel really excited about taking care of her teeth. This was an incredible first dental experience...and now Niyah’s looking forward to seeing Dr. Sanchez again!”

Besides the cost, all that cooling causes annual emissions of about 195 million tons of CO2...that’s two tons per year for each house with A/C! Yikes! What if you’re paying all that money, but your air conditioner isn’t even doing its job?
