Today is Take Your Cat to the Vet Day! 🐱
We highlight this day every year because cats visit the vet far less often than dogs. While most cat owners do have a vet, only about half bring their cats in for annual checkups—compared to over 75% of dog owners.

Let’s close the care gap and keep our feline friends healthy and thriving!

Many people only take their cat to the vet when their cat is sick. August 22nd is Take Your Cat to the Vet Day and it’s a great time to remind everyone about the importance of preventive care!

Mama said there’d be days like this... 💛
It’s Senior Citizen Day, and we’re here to celebrate the wise, wonderful, and slightly slower members of our pet families!

Today we’d like you to meet another four-legged fashion icon: Bandit!
This stylish 7½-year-old Lab mix brings the sporty vibes wherever he goes. 🐕💨

Bandit’s favorite activities? Sprinting through the yard and pulling off dramatic hill rolls with flair.

Wait... hills? In Southwest Florida? Bandit, drop a pin — we want to visit! 🏞️🐾✨

Equal parts dapper and daring, this guy’s got energy, charm, and a look that turns heads.

For a limited time, you can save $50 OFF x-rays* for your pet!

Just because your pet looks healthy doesn’t always mean everything on the inside is okay. X-rays give our veterinarians a deeper look to detect hidden problems early—before they become bigger issues. X-rays have the potential to:

🦴 Spot arthritis or joint changes.
🦴 Detect internal masses.
🦴 Reveal dental problems below the gumline.
🦴 Guide treatment plans with a clearer picture of your pet’s health.

Call today to schedule! Because peace of mind is priceless—and prevention can keep purrs and tails wagging longer. 🐾

* Valid 8/1/2025-9/15/2025, use codes XRAYS. Can be paired with $50 off dental coupon, code DISDNT. Codes may be used together, but not all services are required to receive individual discounts. Cannot be combined with other discounts. Additional terms and restrictions may apply.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Jenna Maddox to the Estero Animal Hospital family! Please help us give her a warm welcome!

Originally from Alabama, Dr. Maddox and her husband lived in several states before finally making it to Florida. From the time she was 5 years old, Dr. Maddox knew she wanted to be a veterinarian, and she still thinks it is the best job in the world. Dr. Maddox graduated from Auburn University in 2005. Her special interests include dentistry and soft tissue surgery, but her favorite part of being a veterinarian is getting to know the clients and patients. Her hobbies include reading, cooking, and hanging out with her two favorite boys - her staffies Norman and Otis (the loves of her life!). Dr. Maddox is excited to be in the Sunshine state!!

Behold, it is World Lizard Day! 🦎
Here in Florida, we see plenty of lizards—big, small, and surprisingly beautiful. But did you know many of the flashiest ones are actually invasive?

We’re taking a quick break from the usual cats and dogs to share something important: a list of lizards not to release in Florida.

If you spot one, report it!
📞 Call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission’s Invasive Species Hotline: 888-Ive-Got1 (483-4681)
This includes nonnative snakes, monitor lizards, tegus, and more.

Lizards are found in most places, but some lizards are invasive and come from other countries. Learn about 10 invasive lizards you may find.
