Understanding Biopsy for
Better Pet Health

A biopsy is a common diagnostic procedure used to investigate abnormal growths or lesions in pets. During a biopsy, a small sample of tissue is collected from the affected area and examined under a microscope by a veterinary pathologist. This procedure helps veterinarians determine the nature of the growth, whether it’s benign or malignant and guides further treatment decisions. While the idea of a biopsy may sound daunting, it’s a crucial step in diagnosing and treating health issues in pets, allowing veterinarians to provide the best possible care and treatment tailored to your furry friend’s needs.
