Papi the Frenchie & BOAS laser surgery
From breathless to boundless, air in, life on.
Philo’s Noisy Breathing & BOAS
Philo wasn’t “just a noisy breather.” He was struggling for air. BOAS is not something these dogs should simply learn to live with. Recognize the signs early, intervene before a crisis, & give them the chance to breathe & thrive.
Sir Louie’s Laser Nose Job
Same dog. New airway. Brand-new life. Meet Sir Luis 2.0. PART 2: The real obstruction was hiding inside his nose.

Dog Lump & Laser Surgery
This senior pet had a new lump, which can be scary. Aspiration & digital cytology allowed a pathologist review within minutes. It was confirmed to be a cyst.

The extra tests your veterinarian recommends once your dog or cat becomes a senior are looking for disease that has not caused symptoms yet. Most pets reach that stage around age seven, sooner for large-breed dogs, and it is when kidney trouble, thyroid changes, and high blood pressure begin turning up in test results before [...]
Chloe & Gucci after BOAS Laser Surgery
Chloe joined her brother Gucci for the same chance to breathe & thrive after BOAS laser surgery. Even though they came from different places, they both faced the same challenge— trouble breathing from narrow noses & elongated soft palates.
