🐾❤️ Meet Lady Meatball, a 6-year-old Labrador Retriever who is on the mend after undergoing TPLO surgery! Her wonderful family traveled all the way from Ohio to consult with and have surgery performed by Dr. Socha  💙

We are so grateful for the kind words and photo update from Lady Meatball’s family!

"Lady Meatball is at home recovering from her TPLO surgery! She is on the mend, thanks to the dedicated staff at VCA Colonial. We felt very comfortable leaving Lady Meatball in the hands of the professional and caring Colonial staff! Dr. Socha was amazing—very attentive to our questions and concerns, and he put our minds at ease about the entire surgery. After such a seamless experience, we would definitely make the trip again for future surgery needs."
-Lady Meatball's Family 💕              

We are thrilled to have been part of this sweet girl's recovery journey and can’t wait to see more of her adventures on Instagram! Be sure to follow her journey with her brother, Lincoln, 🐶💖

🐾 Chango’s Recovery Update! 🐾

We are thrilled to share an update on Chango after his recent surgery with Dr. Ross! 🐶🎉

Chango was all smiles when his stitches came out, especially since it was on his Santeria name day! 🎉 It’s not every day we get to see such a happy pup — Chango willingly came in for his appointment, which is a huge win (not something he normally does)!

At home, Chango’s doing great, though he’s been sporting his "domes" (protective collars) to keep him from licking his healing paw. His incision is looking healthy, though it is still a little pink, and he’s enjoying some indoor fetch sessions. Sometimes, he limps a little outside, but overall, he’s comfortable. 🏀

Dr. Ross has given Chango the green light to gradually return to his normal activities, with no further rechecks needed. Of course, if the family has any questions along the way, we’re always here for them!

We’re so happy to have been part of Chango’s recovery journey. He’s such a good boy, and we love seeing him happy and healing well! ❤️

At VCA Colonial Animal Hospital, we understand the stress and worry that comes when your pet is sick or injured – because we love our pets, too. The last thing you need to stress about is how to cover the cost of medical care. That’s why we accept CareCredit, a flexible financing option to help you manage your pet's healthcare costs. With CareCredit, you can focus on your pet’s well-being without the pressure of immediate payment. We hope your pets stay healthy, but if they need care, remember there are options to spread out payments. CareCredit’s user-friendly website has all the information you need, and if approved, funds are available immediately.

Bella came in for her follow-up yesterday, and we’re thrilled to report she’s doing AMAZING! 🐾 She’s recovering so well that she no longer needs any more rechecks—unless her family has concerns. 🎉

Her family shares how much joy Bella brings to their lives: "She loves to snuggle with her 'sisters' 💕💞, and as her confidence grows, she’s starting to play more with all her buddies! It's been so wonderful to see her running around more and more each day. She's truly brought such happiness to our family!" ❤️🐾

We’re so proud of Bella’s family for continuing the great work at home, following Dr. Ross’s special instructions, and helping Bella stay on the road to recovery. 💖

As a lovely surprise, the kind family gifted us a beautiful holiday box filled with treats and a heartfelt card—thank you so much! 🎁 We truly appreciate your generosity.

🐾 Meet Mabel! 🐾

Mabel is now 5 months old and is the most laid-back puppy her family has ever had! 🐶❤️ She's their 4th Boston Terrier, and we’re so lucky to be a part of her journey.

Her family shared the cutest photos with us and mentioned that Mabel absolutely LOVES Dr. Harris and especially the welcoming “Puppy Parties” that make her feel right at home. 🎉 After her vaccines and nail trim, Mabel had a little yawn and stretch – it’s safe to say she thinks every visit is a Spa Day! 😴💅

And let’s not forget about Lucy, Mabel's cat sibling! 🐱 Lucy loves her visits to VCA Colonial, too!

We’re so grateful to be part of Mabel and Lucy's life. Thank you for sharing your adorable photos and kind words with us! 💙
