About

Janice W. Price, DVM

Welcome to Windmill Animal Hospital, Abilene's premier family pet care facility. We are delighted you and your pets are interested in joining the Windmill family. We look forward to serving the veterinary care needs for all of Big Country! We are AAHA accredited , assuring you that your pet will receive top-quality pet care. Come experience the finest Veterinary Clinic in Abilene Texas.

The practice philosophy of Windmill Animal Hospital doctors and staff is summed up in the following mission statement:

"We regard dogs, cats, and other pets as true family members; we believe they should receive the very best in health care, both preventive and curative. Our duty, and our pleasure, is to provide top quality patient care, thorough and thoughtful client education, and meticulous health maintenance, to ensure our patients live as long and healthy a life as is humanely possible. Anything less than a passionate dedication to excellence in achieving this goal is unacceptable."

No more "Sticker Shock" when visiting the vet:

We are deeply committed to making sure the pet owner is actively involved in the decision-making process for the veterinary care their pets receive. This includes preparing detailed treatment plans (estimates). We then discuss and receive pet owner’s approval BEFORE starting the pet’s needed veterinary care. It’s the Windmill way!

We want our clients to know they are in control of their pet’s care and not be afraid of “Sticker Shock” at the front desk when it is time for their pet to go home.

Education Dr. Price - A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION, WITH ONLY ONE GOAL IN MIND
I'm a native Texan. I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was 3 years old. I was a National Merit Scholar at Memorial High School (Houston), and earned 3 degrees from Texas A & M University.

B.S.--Biomedical Sciences, Texas A & M, 1979 (Magna Cum Laude)
B.S.--Veterinary Sciences, Texas A & M, 1982 (Cum Laude)
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Texas A & M, 1984


A PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE IN PET CARE & CLIENT INVOLVEMENT
My patients deserve, and get, the same quality of care and attention expected of a top flight physician. A crucial part of this caliber pet care is informing the clients of the options available. I use a combination of tried and true techniques with the latest in diagnostic equipment. I attend classes, workshops and seminars that not only enhance my technical skills, but my evaluative skills as well.

SPECIAL INTEREST AND IMPRESSIVE WORK EXPERIENCE
Being the senior practitioner in a large practice, first in Houston, then in Dallas, has allowed me to treat all kinds of patients with all kinds of problems. As an active showdog breeder/exhibitor since 1978, I've always had a particular interest in allergies, skin and coat-care, and reproduction. Through extensive reading, continuing education, research and constant use, these particular interest areas have evolved into a major part of my practice. I see new dermatology patients for a second opinion on a daily basis. I work with a wide variety of top breeders, helping them solve their dogs' reproductive issues.

A REAL PET LOVER
I raise and show AKC Champion Norwegian Elkhounds, AKC Champion German Shorthaired Pointers, have two of the cutest Maltese dogs you've ever seen, a wonderfully wild outdoor cat, three horses, and a pond full of pet Japanese Koi. Feeding time is really something!

ACTIVE IN HER PROFESSION
As with all my associates, I stay in touch with the profession through regular meetings and activities. Peers are an invaluable source of new information.

Training Dr. Barnhart - GONE TO TEXAS, ON A WELL-DEFINED PATH

"Although native to Pennsylvania, I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was 8 years old, when my horse went through a colic surgery. I got here to Texas just as soon as I could! I went to a private university in Ohio for my undergraduate work, and Texas A & M for my master's and doctorate."

A JOYFUL APPROACH TO PET CARE &
CLIENT EDUCATION

"I believe that my clients are the best asset I have in helping our patients stay healthy. The more I can teach my clients what they need to know to prevent and recognize health concerns in their pets, the better I like it! A crucial part of this approach is taking the time, with each and every client, to make sure they have the information they need to be as well-informed as possible. The result is our patients stay healthier, and problems are caught early rather than late!"

INVOLVEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY

"I want to be active with the 4-H and local community as much as possible. I plan on doing presentations at career days at the local schools. I like to work with kids--they are the future, and absorb information like sponges!"

A FARM FULL OF CRITTERS!

"I have 3 Quarter Horses, 7 dogs, 8 bearded dragons, a sulcatta tortoise, 3 leopard geckos, a Quaker Parrot, 5 snakes, a ferret and various barn kitties. Variety is the spice of life!"

ACTIVE IN HER PROFESSION

" I stay up-to-date through regular meetings and activities. Continuing education is critical to make sure I am familiar with the latest developments in veterinary medicine."
