🎗️ November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️
Cancer is one of the most common health challenges our pets face, especially as they get older. While the word “cancer” can feel scary, awareness and early action truly make a difference in outcomes.

🐾 Did you know?
• Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in both dogs and cats.
• Many types of pet cancer are treatable when detected early.
• Regular health exams can catch problems long before outward symptoms appear.

🩺 Signs to Watch For:
While some symptoms are subtle, common red flags include:
• New lumps or bumps
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Persistent limping or stiffness
• Unexplained bleeding
• Sores that don’t heal
• Behavioral changes or fatigue

If you notice something that doesn’t look or feel right, trust your instincts—your pet depends on you to be their voice.

❤️ How You Can Help Your Pet:
• Schedule routine wellness exams (especially for senior pets)
• Ask your vet about early screening options
• Keep a journal or photos of any lumps or symptoms
• Maintain a healthy diet and weight for your pet
• Stay curious and do not hesitate to bring up concerns

Our veterinary team is here to support you with guidance, diagnostics, and compassionate care. Early detection isn’t just important—it can be lifesaving.

Let’s work together to spread awareness, support pet parents, and help our furry family members live long, healthy, and happy lives. 🐶🐱💜

Now open and accepting new clients!

🐾 Happy National Senior Pet Month! 🐾
Our gray-muzzled friends have given us years of love — and they deserve all the care we can give in return. 💛

Did you know pets are considered “senior” around age 7+ (even earlier for some large breeds)? As our pets age, their bodies change, and so do their medical needs. Preventive care becomes more important than ever!

🩺 Why senior preventive care matters:
✨ Vaccines – Keep immune systems strong and protect against preventable diseases.
✨ Annual or semiannual bloodwork – Helps detect kidney disease, thyroid issues, diabetes, and organ changes before signs appear.
✨ Screening X-rays – Allows veterinarians to catch arthritis, heart changes, tumors, and other age-related conditions early.
✨ Regular wellness exams – Early detection = better outcomes + improved comfort and longevity.

Your senior pet may be slowing down, but their hearts are as full as ever. Let’s keep them happy, healthy, and thriving for as long as possible. 💕🐶🐱

📞 Call us today to schedule your senior pet’s wellness check and screening tests!

🐾💛 November 7th is National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day 💛🐾

Today, we honor the dogs and families affected by canine lymphoma, one of the most common cancers in dogs. Early detection and awareness can make a life-changing difference.

🔍 Know the signs:

Swollen lymph nodes (under the jaw, in front of the shoulders, or behind the knees)

Lethargy or loss of energy

Decreased appetite or weight loss

Increased thirst or urination

If you ever notice unusual lumps or changes in your dog’s behavior, please don’t wait—schedule an exam. Early diagnosis can lead to more treatment options and a better quality of life.

Our reference laboratory now has a screening test that detects and specifically identifies lymphoma with a simple blood specimen.

💛 Today and every day, our team is here to support your pets through every stage of their health journey.

📞 Call us at (910) 863-8337 or visit www.aavhnc.com if you have any concerns about your dog’s health.

🧡 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🧡
A reminder that mental health matters — especially in veterinary medicine.

Veterinary professionals face unique challenges: emotional fatigue, compassion stress, long hours, and the deep weight of responsibility. Behind every patient and pet parent is a caregiver who often carries more than we know.

💬 If you’re struggling, please know this: you are not alone.
Your work has value. You have value.

Let’s look out for one another, speak openly about mental health, and create a culture where asking for help is not just okay — it’s encouraged.
