Your pet can't tell you when something feels off, but their bloodwork can give us important information about what's happening inside their body. 🩺

Routine blood tests can help veterinarians evaluate kidney and liver function, check for anemia or signs of infection, and monitor certain conditions over time.

Bloodwork is also valuable for establishing a baseline when your pet is healthy, giving us something to compare against as they age.

Whether it's part of a wellness visit, a pre-surgical evaluation, or monitoring an existing condition, bloodwork helps us make informed decisions about your pet's care.

Contact Florence Animal Hospital to learn more about recommended testing for your pet.

Happy Vet Tech Week to our amazing team!

While this week is all about celebrating our veterinary technicians, we can’t help but celebrate our entire crew! We truly believe it takes a special kind of person to do what we do, and we’re so grateful for every single person who makes our hospital feel like a family.

From the hands that comfort our patients and the hearts that care for them, to the smiles that greet our clients and all the hard work that happens behind the scenes, every team member makes a difference. There are long days, tough moments, happy tears, and so many little victories that make it all worthwhile.

We see the love, patience, compassion, and dedication our team pours into their work every single day, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have each other. Our patients are lucky to have them, and we’re lucky to call them our team.

So this week, we’re celebrating ALL of our staff, because every role matters, every heart makes a difference, and it takes all of us to make what we do so special.

Want to help us celebrate? The next time you’re in the office, leave our crew a little love! Leave us a sweet note, a quick thank you, or a few kind words and our team will be sure to have a great day! 💙

When it comes to your pet’s surgery, the cost of the procedure is only one part of the equation. 🐾

Laparoscopic surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to perform certain procedures with less disruption to surrounding tissues. While it may come with a higher upfront cost than traditional open surgery, the benefits can make it a worthwhile investment in your pet’s comfort and recovery.

Less postoperative pain, a quicker return to normal activities, and a lower risk of certain complications can all contribute to a smoother recovery. Depending on the procedure, this may also mean fewer recovery-related expenses.

Of course, every pet and procedure is different, and laparoscopic surgery isn't always the best option.
