May is Pet Cancer Awareness Month. Our furry family members can face cancer too, with 1 in 4 dogs developing cancer at some point in their lives.

Early detection saves lives! Watch for warning signs like unusual lumps, persistent sores, changes in appetite, or unexplained weight loss. Regular vet check-ups are crucial - they can spot what we might miss. Remember, you know your pet best - if something seems off, trust your instincts and seek help. This month, consider scheduling that wellness exam you've been putting off.
