Your Veterinary Team in Spring, TX
Meet Dr. Marshall Beggs and his outstanding support team at Houston Pet Dental. We look forward to educating you about your pet’s dental needs and providing your companion with the comfort they deserve.
Dr. Marshall Beggs, DVM
Dr. Marshall Beggs is a staunch advocate for reliable, routine pet dental care. He grew up in West Texas, determined to follow his lifelong goal to become a veterinarian. He has been blessed with amazing mentorship, opportunities, and education along the way, which have driven him to create a one-of-a-kind veterinary clinic.
Dr. Beggs has worked in general practice for over 13 years, focusing on reconstructive and soft tissue surgeries, ultrasonography, and...you guessed it, dentistry! He has developed a passion for providing pets with comfort in one of the most overlooked and under-treated areas, oral health care. “We see far too many pets enduring pain every year with dental disease.”
Something more common than knee injuries, heartworm disease, and fractured bones deserves more attention. Dr. Beggs believes our pets deserve a comfortable mouth and prevention is the first step! He has made it his mission to better serve your pets by making routine oral care more accessible to everyone. Just because something is out of sight doesn’t mean it’s not a problem! And just because pets are eating does not mean that they are not suffering! "During our preventative oral assessments we commonly find hidden painful lesions, which allows us to take early action against some oral cancers. Early thorough examinations go far beyond oral care."
Dr. Beggs has training in advanced maxillofacial surgery, mandibular fracture repair, and periodontal disease therapy. He is also currently enrolled in a comprehensive 8-month training dental course to better serve his patients. "Dental cleanings and assessments have come a long way since I was a technician over 20 years ago.” We are more strategic in our planning, we have improved pet monitoring, and more extensive imaging, all of which provide better supportive care, and improved detection of oral concerns that we can treat, allowing us to keep your pets more comfortable.
When he is not helping pets and their owners, Dr. Beggs enjoys spending time with his family and being outdoors. He enjoys cooking and fishing and he and his family attend Journey Church. He has an amazing wife, Colleen, and two children, their son Hudson and daughter Paisley. They also have two crazy spoiled pets, Ruddy the Irish Setter and Forrest the French Bulldog.
Dr. Beggs looks forward to helping you maintain your pet’s healthy and comfortable smile!
