Veterinarians
Dr. Bonnie S. Harris, DVM
Dr. Harris has three pets at home. Sticky is a 17-year-old cat that has kidney disease and is on a prescription diet to prolong her life. Her two dogs were both “rescue” pups that needed homes. Cheyenne is 14 years old and loves to be outside to chase rabbits. Iris is a 7-year-old mini-pit that has storm anxiety and is afraid of loud noises. All of Dr. Harris’ pets are microchipped, spayed, neutered, vaccinated and on monthly heartworm and flea/tick medication. Dr. Harris is active in her church choir and enjoys traveling and spending time with her family, both near and far.
Dr. Esther Grissom, DVM
Dr. Grissom received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A & M. She practices relief veterinary services around Tarrant County and allows Dr. Harris the opportunity to take time off each month. Dr. Grissom has one cat that she and her husband rescued. Dr. Grissom firmly believes in preventative medicine. Annual exams, vaccinations, and tests can detect health issues before they become health crises. In her spare time, Dr. Grissom enjoys bicycling, reading, baking and traveling with her husband.
