Sometimes the pets we love most become the ones reminding us why preventative care matters so much. ❤️
Our dog was recently diagnosed with a high-grade mast cell tumor. It’s news no pet owner ever wants to hear, even as veterinarians. But this experience has reinforced something we talk to our clients about every single day: yearly and semi-annual checkups truly matter.
Routine exams, diagnostics, and monitoring help us catch changes early, often before pets are showing obvious signs at home. Early detection can make all the difference when it comes to treatment options, surgery, and outcomes.
Today, our pup underwent surgery with Dr. Andrade at , and we are incredibly grateful for the care she provided. She is someone we trust not only with our patients, but with our own family as well. This is why we confidently refer our clients to her whenever specialized surgical care is needed.
Please don’t wait for your pet to “look sick” before scheduling their exams. Preventative care saves lives; and sometimes it gives us the chance to do something while we still can.
