04/17/2024

It's National Pet ID Week - the perfect time to ensure your pet has proper identification tags and microchips. Let's keep our beloved companions safe and sound!

Often we can give you an educated guess as to what a new bump or mass may be on your pet and how concerned you should be. But MOST of the time, it's best to do a needle aspirate. Even "fatty tumors" surprise us and aren't always what they seem! Check out these two masses! One (A) is a mast cell tumor, a type of cancer. It needs treatment! The other (B) is a histiocytoma, a benign growth and can be left alone. Call us if you're concerned about a bump or mass on your pet!

Breeding Soundness Evaluation Clinics!! Call each clinic separately to schedule based on your preferred location!

04/15/2024

We see a lot of pets with upset tummies! If your pet has nausea, vomiting, isn't eating, or is lethargic, it could be pancreatitis or an upset stomach! Call us with any concerns!
