🐱 Tumors in Cats: What Every Cat Owner Needs to Know 🐱
Any new lump or swelling on your cat should be checked by a vet as soon as possible. Early detection can make a huge difference.
Here’s a clear breakdown of the most common tumors in cats:
1️⃣ Mammary tumors (most common in female cats – up to 85% are malignant)
2️⃣ Lymphoma
3️⃣ Mast cell tumors
4️⃣ Squamous cell carcinoma (especially in white or light-colored cats)
5️⃣ Injection-site sarcoma (FISS)
✅ Common signs to watch for: lumps, weight loss, decreased appetite, lethargy, non-healing wounds, difficulty breathing, or vomiting.
💡 Did you know? Spaying your female cat before her first heat can reduce the risk of mammary tumors by up to 91%.
Not every lump is cancer — but only a veterinarian can tell the difference.
Save this post and share it with fellow cat parents. Early detection + proper diagnosis + timely treatment = better outcome.
When in doubt, always consult your veterinarian.

☀️🐶 Dog Days of Summer are here! 🐾

Summer fun is in full swing, but all that time outdoors can sometimes leave your pup feeling less than comfortable. 🌿☀️

If you notice your dog licking, scratching, chewing, or rubbing more than usual, don’t ignore it. There may be an underlying cause that needs attention.

🐾 Don’t let discomfort slow down their summer fun!

📞 Give us a call to schedule an appointment and help your pup get back to enjoying those sunny days!

🐾Thursday with Gallagher!🐾

Meet handsome Gallagher! 😻💙 He recently came to see us for his neuter, and we just had to show off his adorable face!

🐱 FUN FACT: Neutering a ma🐾le cat can significantly reduce urine spraying and marking behaviors that are driven by hormones. It can also reduce the strong-smelling odor of male cat urine! 👃😹

Thinking it’s time to neuter your cat? Give us a call today to schedule an appointment! 📞🐾

✅ Warning signs to watch for

🦷🐾 Monday Pet Health Tip: Bad Breath Isn’t Normal!

Does your pet’s breath make you want to turn away? 😬

While a little “doggy breath” or “kitty breath” may seem normal, persistent bad breath can be a sign of dental disease. Plaque and tartar can lead to painful gums, infections, and other health problems if left untreated.

🪥 Regular dental care can help keep those pearly whites and your pet healthier!
