Biography

A lifetime among the animals she now cares for.

Dr. Amelia Hart grew up on a working farm just outside Fulshear, where long days spent alongside horses, cattle, and a rotating cast of barn cats taught her early that good animal care is equal parts science and patience. That upbringing shaped everything about the practice she would go on to build: a clinic where modern medicine is delivered slowly, kindly, and always in plain language.

After earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M, Dr. Hart spent several years in mixed rural practice before founding Cottage Hills Animal Hospital in 2004. Her goal was simple — to give the animals of the surrounding countryside access to referral-quality diagnostics and surgery without the long, stressful drive into the city.

Today her clinical interests center on senior-pet medicine, pain management, and soft-tissue surgery. She’s known among clients for the unhurried way she works: sitting on the floor with a frightened patient until it settles, explaining every option without pressure, and following up personally the evening after a procedure.

When she isn’t in the clinic, Dr. Hart is usually out on the trails with her two rescue hounds, Biscuit and Sage, or tending the vegetable garden behind the practice that supplies the staff kitchen all summer long.
