The Livewell partnership is important to me because it offers an opportunity to change the future of veterinary medicine. It allows a collaboration of both the corporate and private sectors of small animal veterinary medicine to work together in order to provide the best quality care for pets and pet parents while preserving the personalized feel that everyone appreciates through private practice.
Throughout my career I have worked for both sides of veterinary care and have seen the pros and cons to both... It is a blessing to be able to institute the positive aspects of both the private and corporate sectors of veterinary medicine in order to facilitate a brighter future for us all.

We had THE BEST first experience at Livewell with our new pups! We were patients of Dr. Tadlock from his previous clinic, and did not think twice about moving with him. The clinic is beautiful. Everything you could want from a vet’s office has been thought of and designed into the clinic. Little Elm is very lucky to have this new practice. We love Dr. Tadlock and the rest of the staff were wonderful as well.
Jeremy DeWinterPet Parent of Livewell Animal Hospital of Little Elm
They were able to get me in quickly, coordinated a referral for me + personally called the specialist vet for me to get us seen the next day + then followed up with me about my referral appointment. Top notch care that really reinforced for me how much they truly care about my pup! Glad I made them my primary vet for my dog.
Lindsey ReePet Parent of Livewell Animal Hospital of Anchorage
So grateful for the caring and compassionate care of our injured pet that we received at Livewell. Dr. Gipson was thorough in his evaluation and was able to clearly explain about our options and future plans for taking care of our furry family member in a way we could comprehend. Thanks to all on the care team. It’s fortunate to have such an option in urgent or emergency and emotional circumstances. Highly recommend to others.
W. SextonPet Parent of Livewell Animal Urgent Care

Dr. Tadlock is one of the few veterinarians I will take my pets. He unfortunately moved further away from me; however, I will still continue to use him. It is worth the drive to get a solid, caring, thorough perspective on treatment. There is nothing but good to say about Dr. Tadlock, and I highly doubt ever will be.
The staff was very caring and invested also. Congrats on your new practice!
Alicia M.Pet Parent of Livewell Animal Hospital of Little Elm
Everyone at Livewell was extremely kind and compassionate. Especially the vet tech, Dillon. The receptionist was also extremely sweet! You can tell they really care about your pet. The staff explained everything well and don’t make you feel like you’re overreacting for bringing them in. I would highly recommend Livewell to any pet owners.
