While some types of cancer may be partly prevented through spaying or neutering, the reality is that many cancers arise without warning. Certain breeds are genetically predisposed to specific cancers, making regular wellness exams and early screenings vital for early intervention and better outcomes.
If you notice any of the following symptoms in your pet, call us at 936-271-9300 right away for an exam:

Changes in appetite or eating habits
Sudden weight loss or drop in energy

Thorough Diagnostic Workup
We can perform in-house imaging, biopsies, and lab tests, and coordinate with The Woodlands Animal Cancer and Referral Center when advanced oncology evaluation is needed.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Whether the answer lies in surgery, ongoing monitoring, or referral-based oncology care, we’ll discuss all appropriate options clearly and compassionately.
Ongoing Support & Care
Cancer treatment is a journey. We're committed to supporting both your pet’s comfort and your family’s peace of mind through every step—medical or emotional.
What We Can Do On-site
Complete Blood Count (CBC): We utilize the Zoetis OptiCell system to run accurate CBCs right here in our hospital. This lets us assess red and white blood cell counts, platelets, and indicators of anemia or infection with rapid turnaround.
Comprehensive Chemistry Panels: Our in-house chemistry analyzers measure liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes, glucose, and more. These results help us monitor organ health, detect metabolic changes, and tailor chemotherapy dosages.
AI-Enhanced Cytology & Fecal Analysis (Imagyst): We incorporate Imagyst’s artificial intelligence tools to analyze ear cytologies, fecal samples, and other cytologic preparations. This helps reduce human error and ensures consistent, objective interpretation of cellular detail.
Rapid Turnaround, Real-Time Care: Because these diagnostics are done onsite, we don’t have to wait for external lab shipments. That means faster decision-making, earlier interventions, and more responsive care when your pet’s condition changes.
