National Cat Lovers’ Month is celebrated every year in December. Cats are beautiful, sassy, and fascinating creatures. Yes, they can be fiercely independent and unpredictable, yet they can also be affectionate, outgoing, energetic, and loveable! Fun fact: Cats are digitigrade, meaning that unlike many other animals, they walk on their toes!

Show your love and support for our adorable feline friends. Share pictures of your cat on social media. Let others know about National Cat Lovers’ Month so they too can shower love on their pets.

Visit a shelter and adopt a cat so you can give it a better life. If you’re unable to adopt a cat at the moment, consider donating to help improve the quality of their lives. We suggest kittenrescue.org

Today is The International Day of Veterinary Medicine! 

This day shines a light on the important role veterinarians play in animal health and welfare.Veterinarians do more than just take care of our pets; they’re involved in groundbreaking medical research that benefits both animals and humans.Today, we're encouraged to show gratitude for their hard work and dedication​​​​​​.

Celebrating this day can involve anything from thanking your local vet to learning and sharing information about the latest advancements in veterinary science. It’s a moment to acknowledge that healthy animals lead to healthier communities and that the well-being of animals and humans is deeply interconnected​​.

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.
