Our Goals
Join our Mission
Watch a video of Sugar getting a Sugar Rub! from her oncologist, Dr. Stephen Atwater.
The Sugar Rub! is what we call giving your pet a breast exam.
With any cancer, early detection is a critical factor for survival, so examining your pets regularly is very important. In addition to a regular exam by your veterinarian at least once a year, give your pet an overall nose to tail exam once a month. Be on the lookout for any unusual lumps or bumps and get them checked out by your vet right away.
