Wishing a very happy and safe Thanksgiving to all our little gobble-ins, from everyone at MobiPetCare/BIRCH! Let's all be mindful of what foods our pets will have access to during the holiday. Keep unsafe foods out of reach and tell all of your guests to please not FEED ANYTHING TO YOUR DOGS OR CATS unless approved by YOU.

This November, we’ve been observing NATIONAL PET CANCER AWARENESS MONTH. Just like humans, pets benefit greatly from regular wellness screenings to catch issues early. Prevention is key. The median age of cancer diagnosis in a pure-breed dog is 8 years old, versus a mixed breed at 9.5 years old. Giant breeds like a mastiff have a median diagnosis at age 5 compared with Irish Wolfhounds and St. Bernards at age 6! Statistics show that spaying and neutering your pet can delay the median diagnosis by a year or more. Other breeds at higher risk:

German Shepard
Bernese Mountain Dog
Golden Retriever
Swiss Mountain Dog

 There are many new tests out there that claim to identify cancer markers; however, those tests cannot diagnose cancer or determine the type of cancer. Those days are hopefully coming, but at this time, technology is not as reliable as we veterinarians would like it to be.

 When it comes to checking for cancer, it starts with an annual physical exam by your veterinarian and early screenings with bloodwork, x-rays, and ultrasound. If you want to be more proactive, ask Dr. Napolitano about the Nu.Q test for cancer markers that is available at the laboratories we use. It can easily be added to any wellness panel for added screening.

 Wellness tips for pet parents:

·      Elect annual bloodwork (starting at the time of spaying and neutering).

·      Urinalysis, ultrasound, and X-rays two years before the median age of your pet's potential diagnosis age.

·      Breed-specific screenings. Some breeds need earlier screenings than others.

·      At -home touch checks — feel for any new lumps or bumps.

Our Senior Pet Prevention Package includes these essential screenings to help detect health issues early, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy for years to come. Contact us to schedule an appointment.

Did you know that November is Adopt a Senior Pet month?

There’s nothing quite like the love of a senior pet. They’re calm, loyal, and full of gratitude for every cozy nap and gentle scratch behind the ears. Sadly, many older pets are overlooked in shelters — but adopting one brings joy, companionship, and a chance to make their golden years truly special. 🐾

These senior pets may be “set in their ways,” but that’s part of their charm — they’re often already house-trained, mellow, and simply looking for a quiet place to love and be loved. Adopting an older pet not only transforms their world but fills yours with unmatched loyalty and warmth.

In honor of Adopt a Senior Pet Month, Dr. Napolitano is introducing a Senior Pet Prevention Package. Included in the package will be complete bloodwork and urinalysis, X-rays, and an Ultrasound for $1350. Additional tests can be added at a discounted rate when performed together. You can find us at mobipetcare.com.

Saturday, October 25 is National Pit Bull Awareness Day! For those who believe American pit bull terriers are menacing, dangerous animals, this day is for you. This is a day to raise awareness that pit bulls are in fact loving, caring pets. We're celebrating how kind and compassionate these dogs truly are, and we're putting to bed those terrible misconceptions.

Ways to Celebrate!

Donate to Pit Bull Rescues.
Rescues dedicated to pit bulls often struggle with funding. Donating, no matter how small, can provide veterinary care, food, and shelter for pit bulls in need. Our favorite rescues are: and

Find a pit bull to play with.
The easiest way to change your perception about pit bulls is to get to know one personally. Whether it’s through a friend who owns one, a shelter, or an event specific to the awareness day, find a way to play with a pit, and we know you’ll quickly see they’re not the aggressive villains they’re made out to be.

Adopt a pit bull.
Perhaps one of the most impactful actions you could take would be to give a home to a pit bull in need. They’re smart and strong dogs, so training is essential, but once you’ve done this, they are among the most obedient and loving breeds in the country.

Share your experiences.
Whether you’re attending an adopt-a-thon, visiting a local shelter, donating food and supplies, or any other officially sponsored event, make sure you share it on social media with the hashtag . Find out if anyone else around you is also celebrating, and meet up to help get the positive word out about these loving animals!

It can be hard to keep tabs on our pets' weight when everyone in the household hands out treats. One way to keep your dog or cat from gaining weight is to put a specific allotment of treats in a container for the day and only use that container when giving treats each day. Another way to cut down on extra calories is to skip the store bought treats and go for natural replacements like carrots, celery, and cucumbers. Let's keep our babies healthy and happy!
