October is National Pet Wellness Month!
A well-rounded lifestyle with great nutrition, routine pet grooming, physical activity, and mental stimulation is key to your pet's overall health. In addition to your daily routines, keeping up with annual or bi-annual checkups at the vet can help ensure that your furry friend is feeling their best. [heart emoji]
Earlier this year, Laika's family found a bump on her leg while brushing her. They began monitoring the bump over the course of a few weeks and became concerned as it continued to grow. After consulting their vet, the growth was removed and determined to be cancerous. Since Laika's family caught it in the earlier stages, they were able to remove most of the growth and get her started on a chemotherapy treatment plan quickly!
While routine things like brushing may feel like a chore sometimes, keeping up with them can benefit your pet's overall health in the long-run!
