Veterinary Emergency Team

Faculty, staff and students provide critical veterinary care and shelter support amid rising waters.

Texas A&M Veterinary Emergency Teams poised to expand with federal support.

Faculty, staff and students from health, vet med and nutrition will be awarded in D.C. for work with Operation Border Health Preparedness.

The team's recent deployment to the largest wildfire in Texas history provided essential assistance to animals and communities in need while serving as a learning opportunity for students.

Students, staff and faculty members provided critical care to animals affected by the historic fire in the Texas Panhandle.

The team will provide care to search and rescue dogs and help animals and shelters affected by the blaze.

By the end of the week, the team had completed a record 1,022 veterinary visits at its South Texas base of operations in Willacy County.

The team, which cares for animals affected by disasters, deploys throughout the state of Texas and across the country.

The team deployed to Florida Oct. 4 to provide veterinary medical support for FEMA search and rescue dogs.

Texas A&M is supporting more than 80 urban search and rescue dogs, who can be at risk due to contaminated flood waters, among other hazards.
