🎗️ November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️
Cancer is one of the leading health concerns in our pets, but early detection can make all the difference.

🐾 Know the signs:
⚠️ Lumps or bumps that grow or change
⚠️ Unexplained weight loss
⚠️ Loss of appetite or energy
⚠️ Difficulty eating, breathing, or walking

If you notice any of these changes—or anything that just doesn’t seem right—schedule a checkup with one of our veterinarians. Regular exams and wellness screenings help us catch issues early and give your pet the best chance at a long, healthy life. 💙

Together, we can fight pet cancer through awareness, early detection, and compassionate care.

🐾 Why Is My Pet Scooting? 🐕💨
If you’ve seen your dog or cat dragging their rear across the floor, you’re not alone — and it’s not just a funny habit! Scooting can be a sign of:
🍑 Full or irritated a**l glands
🐛 Parasites
🤧 Allergies or skin irritation

If your pet is scooting, licking, or seems uncomfortable, it’s time for a vet visit to get to the bottom of it (literally!). 😅

📞 Call VCA Bellevue or book online using the myVCA app to schedule an exam — we’ll help your furry friend feel better fast!

💛 November 7 is National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day 💛
Today, we’re helping raise awareness for one of the most common cancers found in dogs, lymphoma.

🐾 Common signs to watch for:

Swollen lymph nodes (often under the jaw or behind the knees)

Lethargy or decreased energy

Loss of appetite or weight

Increased thirst or urination

If you ever notice changes like these, schedule a visit with your veterinarian — early testing can make all the difference.

Our team is here to support you and your pets every step of the way. 💕
