November is Pet Diabetes Month. This month aims to bring awareness to the growing prevalence of diabetes in dogs and cats. Obesity is one significant risk factor for the development of diabetes and as dogs and cats age, they may also develop other diseases that can result in diabetes. Untreated, diabetes mellitus can be fatal in dogs and cats.

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are reminded about how thankful we are for everyone at Palomar Animal Hospital! Charlie got his teeth cleaned (and a list of other things he needed) about a month ago by Dr. Handel and staff. Charlie is a 9 year old, anxious, difficult patient (and he's not afraid to show it) and he's had neck pain in the past that we do everything we can to try to prevent reoccurring. We are confident that Charlie gets the best care possible at Palomar Animal Hospital!Susie L.

After bouncing around through several veterinarians over the first several years of our family dog, Casper, I found Palomar Animal Hospital. Besides getting his vaccinations, Casper an 80 pound Weimaraner was treated for several conditions ranging from an ear infection, teeth cleaning and gum care to geriatric conditions he experienced latter in life. We even boarded him at their state of the art facility when we had to go out of town. PAH saw our family pet for around the last 6 or 7 years of his life. They discovered that he had a heart murmur early on. But in spite of heart murmur, our dog lived to be 15 1/2 years old under their care. When it was time to put him down, the doctors and staff at Palomar Animal Hospital were very caring and compassionate. They understood what our pet meant to us. Casper did not suffer. I would recommend PAH to anyone who cares about the good heath of their pet. Thank you Dr Handel, Dr. Knox, Dr. Nissen and all the staff for your kind service.Chet K.
