…you’re hanging off the edge of the bed because you don’t want to disturb the dog. 🤦‍♀️🐶

A few bladder stones. A small lump. Things that may not seem like a big deal at first can sometimes become much more serious.

The stones pictured were surgically removed. The growth on the leg was found to be cancerous and ultimately required amputation of the entire leg.

Did you know? Lumps, bumps, changes in urination, blood in the urine, straining, or other small changes are always worth mentioning to your veterinarian.

See something? Say something. Let us take a look.

THREE CRUCIATE SURGERY OPTIONS, NOW AVAILABLE! 🙌

When a dog tears a cruciate ligament, there isn’t one surgical approach that is right for every patient. We now offer three different cruciate repair procedures:

🔹 Lateral Imbrication
🔹 TTA
🔹 TPLO

Our veterinary team will evaluate your dog’s size, age, activity level, knee stability, and overall health to recommend the procedure best suited to their individual needs.

If your dog is limping, struggling to stand, or refusing to use a back leg, call us to schedule an orthopedic evaluation.

More options. Individualized care. Advanced surgery close to home.

🇺🇸 CLOSED FOR LABOR DAY 🇺🇸

But do you know why we celebrate Labor Day?

🔨 The first Labor Day celebration was held in New York City on September 5, 1882, when thousands of workers participated in a parade honoring America’s workforce.

🇺🇸 In 1894, Labor Day officially became a national holiday, observed on the first Monday in September.

💼 The holiday was created to recognize the social and economic contributions of American workers and the role they have played in building our country.

We hope our team, clients, and community enjoy a safe and restful Labor Day weekend!

We’ll see you Tuesday! 🇺🇸🐾
