🩺🐾 November 7th is National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day 🐾🩺

Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers affecting dogs, but with early detection and advanced veterinary care, many pets can overcome it and live long, happy lives.

At Lenity Vet Specialists in San Mateo, CA, our team is dedicated to helping the pets and families that are facing this diagnosis, by providing not just great care but also compassion, expertise, and hope. We work closely with your primary veterinarian to provide specialized diagnostics and treatment options, including:
⚕️ Surgical oncology
🧬 Internal medicine and diagnostic testing
💉 Pain management and supportive care

🌱 Regenerative and stem cell therapy

If your canine companion has been diagnosed with lymphoma or another form of cancer, know that you have options. Our team is ready to help you explore them. Our goal is always to provide the best possible quality of life for every patient we see.

🐾 Why are puppies (and kittens) more prone to fractures?

Life is so hard when you're young and a little clumsy!

In young animals (like this recent adorable patient), bones are still developing and contain open growth plates composed of softer cartilaginous tissue. These areas are structurally weaker than mature bone, making them more susceptible to injury from even minor trauma such as jumping or rough play.

Because of their rapid bone turnover and regenerative capacity, fractures in young pets often heal quickly and predictably with proper surgical stabilization. 🦴

If you've got a young pet who needs an orthopedic evaluation, give us a call at 650-513-6660 so we can help get your furry friend on the road to recovery!

🎗️🐾 Spotting the Early Signs of Cancer in Pets 🐾🎗️
November is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month, which means this is a great time to remind pet parents that early detection truly can save lives. At Lenity Vet Specialists in San Mateo, CA, our team is dedicated to helping families find answers through advanced diagnostics and compassionate care.
Did you know?
📊 1 in 4 dogs and 1 in 5 cats will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Recognizing the warning signs early gives your furry friend the best chance at effective treatment and recovery.
Common Symptoms of Cancer in Pets:
⚠️ Lumps or bumps – Not all are cancerous, but any new or changing mass should be checked by your veterinarian.
⚠️ Unexplained weight loss – Gradual or sudden weight loss without a diet change can be an early warning sign.
⚠️ Low energy or appetite – A noticeable decline in eating or activity may indicate an underlying issue, including cancer.
If you notice any of these changes, don’t wait. A simple exam could lead to life-saving answers.
Beyond the Exam:
At Lenity Vet Specialists, our expert team uses advanced tools to detect and diagnose cancer early, including:
🔬 Blood tests to identify internal changes
🩻 X-rays and ultrasounds to detect tumors that aren’t visible
💉 Biopsies and other tests to confirm a diagnosis quickly and accurately
With specialized services such as surgical oncology, internal medicine, orthopedics, soft tissue surgery, and pain management, we provide complete, compassionate care for pets facing cancer and chronic illness.
If you’re concerned about a new lump, unexplained weight loss, or a change in your pet’s behavior, talk with your veterinarian or reach out to our team. Early detection can make all the difference.

💛 Recovery takes teamwork — and a little creativity!

After orthopedic or major surgeries, gentle movement is key to helping our furry friends heal safely. We recently began using a peanut ball (also called a PROM ball) to guide pets through Passive Range of Motion (PROM) exercises. This simple tool helps improve circulation, reduce stiffness, and encourage proper joint mobility — all while keeping your pet comfortable and supported.

Our patients love their “physical therapy time,” and it’s so rewarding to see those tails wag again as they regain strength! 🐾

Every recovery plan is tailored to your pet’s specific needs — always follow your vet team’s guidance before trying any exercises at home. 💕

Here’s one of our brave patients Lucky practicing before heading home to heal!
