Meet Blossom, our August Pet of the Month! Blossom was diagnosed with a gall bladder mucocele and an intestinal mass. Soon after being diagnosed with these serious health challenges, Blossom underwent two major surgical procedures with our surgical team and has since made a remarkable recovery!

Meet Toby! He is a very sweet & brave boy, who conquered entropion in his eyes and fought off Parvo virus at a tender 9 weeks old. He underwent two oral surgeries as a puppy, but his biggest battle came with his diagnosis of liver shunts, skillfully diagnosed by Dr. Farris and the team at Urgent Petcare almost one year ago now!

“Their expertise and compassionate care not only saved Toby’s life, but also provided unwavering support for his ongoing health journey. I am more than thankful for the Dr’s & staff at Urgent Petcare in Surprise!” 😁❤️
